Offered just in case there are still people trying to maintain the fiction that the “tea party” is anything other than a slick marketing move by the Republicans.
Mr. Steele reminds me of a crew boss I had, he had a hat said “I am their Leader! Where are they?”
If you don’t test me, you won’t know.
And if you remove the regulatory agency with authority, no one will stop me.
Last I checked, the people investigating the accidents were the FAA; a big government bureaucracy, and therefore incompetent. They must have been just frittering away money, padding their expense accounts with junkets to conferences and crash sites, stuff like that. Then, on the afternoon the report was due, they just flipped a coin and said “wind shear, everyone okay with that?” I don’t see why you’d trust their conclusions about whether the pilots were high or not.
Just more government incompetence. We’re better off without it.
No, just living in a world that makes Disney movies look realistic.

What story? I see a paid advertising street sign from Texas, giving absolutely zero indication of the actual popularity of the sentiment it expresses. For all we know, it was commissioned by some white guy with an English - Spanish dictionary.
Similarly, the other photo depicts a woman of possibly Latino ancestry holding a sign. Look closely at the people in the background and show me a single other individual who looks at all “ethnic”. As far as I can tell, they are all blindingly white.
This is your exhibition of the Tea Party’s “diversity” or a demonstration that it has broken free of the shackles of social conservatism? Epic fail.
Based on everything I know about them, with a special emphasis on their defenders here, I’m led to the conclusion that the Tea Party is above all else socially inept.
Which can also be used to check on Morella’s claim about no fatral air crashes being caused by drugs:
“In 1988, a Trans-Colorado Airlines, Fairchild Metro III, operating as Continental Express, with two crew members and 15 passengers on board, crashed short of the runway at Durango, Colorado, killing the two crew members and seven passengers. The NTSB found that the captain’s use of cocaine degraded his performance and contributed to the accident (NTSB, 1989).”
[From “Alcohol and Other Drug Use in Commercial Transportation” by James Hall, the then-chair of the NTSB; found at Alcohol and Other Drug Use in Commercial Transportation]
I think the phrase you want is “Chronically and Irrevocably Stupid”.
<gasp!>
So, Morella… is it that you thought you could get away with a lie, or are you just so fucking stupid that you think whatever you think is a “fact”?
Look, I know you’re a douche that has no intention of living in a world bound by the dictates of fact and reality. I know you’ll simply ignore what I write here because you’re so weak and angry that nothing can change the narrative of throbbing stupidity that constantly runs through your squinting, frothing melon. But still, I’ll address your bullshit on the merits. Because I’m compulsive this way.
Hoekstra and Santorum showed up on a news conference waving a report that was already public and saying, “We found us the WMD! Hyuk!”
That report was the Duelfer Report.
Take some time to read and understand now. The report said that Saddam didn’t have any WMDs. The report said that he destroyed them in the 90s, and was complying. The report also said that some old stockpiles of shells were left to rot in places. Apparently as an oversight.
Imagine someone pulls a gun on you and says, “Destroy all the issues of Angry, Incoherent Bitch Monthly that you have in your trailer.”
Imagine you comply, you take them off your bookshelf and pull them from the nightstand and burn the whole bunch. You cancel your subscription and you generally do what he asks. But then, years later the guy with the gun is back and he searches your house and finds a copy of Angry Incoherent Bitch Monthly under your sink. The pages are swelled shut and you can barely make out the cover, but he’s saying that you have a stockpile. When in actuality you just forgot you dropped one there.
Iraq is a country of 20 million people. Saddam did get rid of his stockpiles and programs. But some units somewhere either didn’t comply, didn’t read the labels, or just fucking made a mistake. And for 20 years a tiny, tiny fucking amount of sensitive material was degrading out in the environment. The shells that were left couldn’t be fired. They weren’t at potency and they were rusted like the Trans Am in your mom’s front yard.
So please, you fucking simpleton, all I ask is that you try to learn before smugly pointing to a widely debunked news conference by a couple of lawmakers that might actually be stupider than you.
As for the second link, that’s just a bunch of un-sourced paranoia.
As for the birth certificate I was wondering if you were a birther. Just trying to gauge your level of ability.
Have you a container of cottage cheese available to you?
I have such a container within my grasp.
I have to admit that drug testing for airline pilots does seem kind of stupid. Having rules about not being drunk while you’re flying a plane, sure. Testing a guy to see if he’s smoking pot on his downtime is a waste of money.
Or to extend the issue to truck driving, the USA forces commercial drivers to take a drug test annually; Canada does not. There is not the slightest evidence whatsoever that Canada has a problem with drug-related truck accidents as a result.
Drug tests are invasive of the 99% of people who don’t have drug problems and are extremely unlikely to catch or stop the ones that do.
Unfortunately for us, it seems Morella is back on the road (or to the skies). We were so close to fighting ignorance. Someone should wait a week and google either that part platform, or the “no drug related crashes” and see if he/she/it pops up on another board spouting the same nonsense.
Judging from his statement about the ethnic makeup of tea parties, the answer appears to be yes.
Well sure, but it seemed redundant.
The Tea Party, such as it is, is nothing more than a festival of petulance. I take them about as seriously as I take a toddler’s tantrum.
Morella, thanks a bunch for attacking my hygiene, and calling me a stoner.
It’s so fucking nice to know that’s all i can expect from you. I asked for a job, not a handout, but i suppose that means nothing to you. Thanks for clearing up the position of your fellow tea partiers, and for spouting the same bullshit about tax cuts creating jobs, certainly one doesn’t get that frm MSNBC.

Or, even more realistically, you get married and it turns out you forgot a bit of porn you had stuck somewhere out of the way.
Not that I’m speaking from experience.
