There you have it.
Pretty much.

Thought experiment:
Why are the people who support the second amendment out of fear of a military takeover by the US government the same ones who continually vote to make the US military the largest in the world many times over?
The Daily Show spells out why gun laws suck so bad and will never, ever get any better
tl;dw: The GOP says “enforce existing gun laws”, then makes it impossible to enforce existing gun laws
Also look out for Todd Tiahrt (R - KS) - who sponsored an amendment to a spending bill that hamstrung the ATF - proclaiming that the ATF should enforce those gun laws
They really don’t care. They really, really don’t.
I’m getting so fucking sick of this false parallel that says “Well democrats won’t compromise either.”
We’ve had republicans who came out and explicitly stated that they won’t vote “yes” on bills in cases where it would be seen as something that helped the president, even when it’s a popular position. Yet when this is pointed out the only response you get is, “Well, Democrats do it too.”, “Democrats won’t compromise either.” or something about being partisan or pointing fingers.
It’s so fucking infuriating to sit here and watch while the GOP gleefully bring everything to a grinding halt only to have a general public that seems to have its head so far up its ass that they can’t see what is going on.I’m sorry, it’s not partisan. It is what is happening.
GOP makes policy decisions based on Adam Sandler movies
Given the fervor that the GOP uses to fight the non-existent bogeyman of “voter fraud”, is this really that surprising?
BTW, that can happen with straight marriage too. A gay person can marry a straight person just for the benefits. Hell, straight people who aren’t romantically attached can marry each other just to get benefits.
So, yeah, we should totes ban all marriage and extend the benefits to all people. That way nobody is defrauding anyone.
…actually, that’s not a bad idea…

Something just hit me
Tea Party created by Big Tobacco and the Koch Brothers
Tea Party “…drapes themselves in the flag, but hate America as it is now”
See where I’m going with this?
Remember my comment about the Tea Party’s unspoken (but obvious) desire to destroy America as it is and rebuild it as a theocratic empire?
It started with the Koch Brothers.
Seems like a lot of things recently revolve around them.
