Cotton is a Senator; Gohmert is a Representative.
Please. It’s dangerous to unnecessarily provoke the stupid.
Okay, okay. Change the question to “See Russia from an island in Alaska.” Since there are no islands IN Alaska (they’re outside of it), the answer should be just as obvious.
I just noticed that this thread is 400 pages and nearly 20,000 comments of pointing out The Stupid. And there’s no end in sight, apparently. It would be amusing if it wasn’t so frightening.
Stolen.
That is not the most troubling part: try pointing out teh stupid to them – their typical response is not to recant, apologize or even appear to recognize it, they double down, fist-pump triumphantly and exhuberate even more vehemently in it. These people will not be satisfied until the entire nation is drowning in bullshit so deep that it is flowing across our borders like implacable lava.
I’m not sure I agree with your topology…
I feel like I’m not getting the joke.
I just took a walk down memory lane with the Palin/Couric interview. Couric actually got grief for supposedly asking “gotcha” questions. Who on earth could anticipate that asking someone which news publications they read would be anything other than a softball, getting-to-know-you kind of question? The same with asking which Supreme court decisions, besides Roe v. Wade, she disagreed with. Another giant softball, for any serious candidate. Unbelievable.
I have read a lot of posts by people who are saying exactly that: that as soon as pagans, Satanists, vodoun, etc., decide they want the law to back up THEIR religious beliefs, support for the law will vanish. More likely, I think is that some lawyer or jurist will come up with a creative approach that will allow only mainstream Christians to use the law to their benefit and to others’ detriment, and it’ll go to federal court where it will be laughed at a lot and overturned.
Thus they are both, as I described them, “in Congress.” Your point?
It’s unnecessary to provoke the stupid. They’ll do the stupid all by their lonesome.
The more wrong, the more certain – their willful ignorance appears to have entered a self-reinforcing backfire effect loop. I think it is because they know they are fighting an ultimately doomed cultural/social rearguard action. It breeds ever-increasing desperation and requires ever-increasing audacity.
The Aleutians are substantially in Alaska, in the sense of Alaskan territorial claims. Alaska isn’t only mainland any more than New York is.
The Texas RFRA has been used to allow practicers of Santaria to sacrifice animals.
The federal RFRA was used to allow members of the UDV to drink hoasca tea.
The American Indian Religious Freedom Act allows Native Americans to possess eagle feathers and have access to sacred sites.
The federal RFRA and amendments to the AIRFA were created so that the Native American Church could use peyote.
The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act was very recently used to let a Muslim prisoner grow a beard.
These acts are disproportionately cited by religious minorities. They are allowing small religions to have practices that Christians don’t like.
Topology recrapitulates Palinology.
There is a branch of science devoted to the study of Sarah Palin? If they wanted to plumb the depths, why didn’t they try oceanography? Or maybe spelunking?
{applause}
And all the meta of her being? There is - Pali-ontology.
Things would have had to go only slightly differently for us now to be praying for the continued good health of President McCain.
Ted Cruz Makes Impassioned Plea For Repeal Of Federal Legislation That Does Not Exist

(whoops I posted this without seeing a whole bunch of posts since levdrakon’s confusion. Oh well. This message is addressing the levdrakon Bible vs Sharia law issue)
You are completely missing the point. Let me try to clarify:
Religious right type people are terrified of “sharia law” because of the injustice and cruelty such a system would bring. These same people would be in favor of Bible-based law, even though a lot of the same barbaric stuff in sharia law is prescribed by Old Testament Bible law.
The number of stonings in the U.S. these days is completely irrelevant, not sure how that is confusing you.
