Oh I agree. In my own experience there are very intelligent people who are right wing. However they are for smaller government and all that jazz, but also believe in a woman's right to choose and gay rights.
Not to pile on you or anything, but in that case I'd say they're libertarians and not right wing. "Right wing" implies being to the right on economic and social issues both.

She is right though for the wrong reasons about how nobody should use the "they do jobs Americans don't want to do" because our labor laws should be as such that every job pays a living wage and you don't have to live in a trailer with 6 other people to live as a fruit picker.

Immigration is so loving simple. The only reason an illegal immigrant has any incentive to come to the United States is because working hard labour at a quarter of what is legally the minimum wage (Which should be more than twice what it is, but that's another issue entirely). The only incentive employers have to hire illegal immigrants is because they know they'll get away with paying them a quarter of what is legally required. Therefore, if we actually enforced the labour laws, we could throw down the borders, let anyone live where they want to live and let employers hire people based on how hard they work, and not what colour their skin is, so it seems to me this would kill two of the Tea Party's biggest birds with one stone.

Let the free market decide who the real Americans are. :smug:

They're just going ahead and banning all accounts that feature African Americans or anybody of a different race than straight up white these days, kinda tells you a lot about the Tea Party. Racial profiling on social media to weed out "dissidents" based on their race is pretty par for the course for the most racist political force next to the KKK.

I CAN DUMP MY GIRLFRIEND CAUSE SHE'S LIKE A WHORE, RIGHT GUYS? RIGHT???

But all the Motel 6 managers I know are Chinese. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???

Also, unrelated but perhaps somewhat related, is there some kind of treatise about people who give pistols to their wives as gifts? I keep seeing a bunch of image macros about "women with guns" kind of things, but at the same time, I personally *know* women who have received guns as gifts, and they don't really fit that image. From what I know of their relationships, it kind of feels like "giving a gun is my way of showing dominance and ownership" on the part of the giver.

Is there a really in-depth breakdown of this somewhere? Sorry, dad, but yes, you are an rear end in a top hat.

Is it possible Selaty is playing to the Teabaggers to bilk them for "donations" so he doesn't have to do real work? Could it be he's not one of the loyalists to the cause?

I think someone brought up soliciting donations for unstated reasons could be fraud, but could it be a way to cause an amusing failure cascade in the community? I know I could live quite comfortably on 3-4 grand a month just to play into a buncha neurotic loony toon paranoid delusions.

One of the freep meet ups was at an Olive Garden, and Jim Rob really liked the restaurant. Also, there have been jokes he has unpaid tabs at Olive Garden, but I think it's usually just a joke about the bloated list of what the donations pay for. Even his own members joke about the Olive Garden when the site is down and they chat off-site, iirc.

My understanding is that he would always hold Freep meet n' greets at the local Olive Garden. Also, it's doubly funny because he would beg for money on Freep (their "freepathons") and then go blow it on way-too-loving-expensive-for-lovely-Italian-schlock sitdown chain restaurant poo poo which isn't exactly a wise use of the money he just got done begging off of rubes. Also, it's triply funny because he's also a dumb old white dude and that's basically Olive Garden's chief demographic.

Ughh. This whole 'Obama was/is gay' thing drives me crazy. For one thing, who cares if he had gay experiences in college? For another, it does not appear to be true. It is just a way for them to combine their hate of gays with their hate of Obama. In their tiny little minds he is already a Muslim/Atheist/Commie, so why not gay also. Never minding that many of these things are mutually exclusive.



I guess it is common knowledge and has been 'reported' on by sites such as freerepublic, WND, and YouTube. I guess she showed me!

To be fair, only two of those things are mutually exclusive. You could be a religious communist or a gay Muslim, you'd just be in the minority.

I mean there are plenty of people who are part of religious circles out of a sense or tradition or community who don't actually literally believe in the metaphysical stuff, so even that is not totally immutable.

That is besides the point, though, yes, religious extremists/racists/homophobes are complete bastards.

While I'm not going to say don't do this, because yes, definitely do it, the person you report very well could be the next T McV, let me say something based on my experience as a federal agent.

That relief and gratitude you hear? It's not "Oh thank god you reported this dangerous person before it's too late." It's "Thank god I have something to actually do right now," even if it is file a report destined for the can, because not having something to actively be doing means having to play the game where you have nothing on your desk, but god forbid you make your supervisor look bad by being seen doing nothing or mentioning to anyone else that you don't have an actual assignment. Worst job I've ever had.

Like no poo poo, I literally spent over a week straight walking around my office carrying a random assortment of papers from my desk in a clipboard, stopping complete strangers and talking to them. At first it was questions that got increasingly vague in their relation to my job, and when I finally couldn't be stuffed, I just ended up talking about the LA Kings very sternly while using lots of frustrated hand gestures.

quote:

Sabrina K
One of my drivers sent this to me and asked me to post on FB for him, so I figured I'd post here too. Its long, but worth the read!

Here's the story...

My 14 year old daughter, Daphne, and I went to a gun rally at the NH Capitol
in Concord on Saturday, Jan 19, 2013. I don't even own a gun, but I'm a
strong believer in the Constitution and the wisdom of our Founders
especially when it comes to government taking away our freedoms, and I don't
like the direction Obama is taking the country on that issue. You know,
America, land of the free, and all the core strengths that made America
great.

I made up a bunch of signs and Daphne prepared a letter before the rally,
thinking she might hand it out to anyone who was interested. While attending
the rally, Daphne noticed that the speaker had stopped talking and that he
was handing the bullhorn to anyone who wanted to speak. She pointed that out
to me, and soon she went over to the Capitol steps, got in line, and waited
for her turn. After fighting her way to the front of the line, she stood
there, on the steps of the NH State Capitol, and read a shorter version of
the letter below.

She brought the house down.

After the cheers had died down, dozens of people shook her hand and
congratulated her. A couple of reporters interviewed her briefly and other
photographers took her picture. Just before she left, a representative from
the New Hampshire Assembly talked to her and asked if she could come and
speak at a hearing on gun control on Tuesday, Jan 22, 2013. Daphne said,
Sure.

On Tuesday, we picked her up from school at 12:00 noon and drove to Concord.
We found our way to the Legislative Assembly Hall, Room 204. The room was
packed and there was a line down the hall and around two corners. Soon, they
moved the meeting to another room. The second room also proved too small.
Finally, they sent us across the street, up to the large chamber in the
Capitol Building.

The room was near capacity. About ninety-five percent of the people were pro
2nd Amendment rights. The Representatives and PACs got to speak first, then
the common folk. Daphne was in the first 10 folks to speak who were not
representing a group. She was poised, though a little nervous, and spoke
clearly to the crowd. When she was done, she brought a copy of her speech to
the front of the chamber where the representatives were sitting, and they
fought over who would get to take it from her. The moderator had previously
silenced the hall from cheering or clapping, but people told her they would
have cheered if they could as they shook her hand on the way out. The whole
proceeding took more than 3 hours.

TRANSCRIPT:

Delivered to the New Hampshire Legislative Assembly
January 22, 2013

Dear citizens of New Hampshire,

Four days ago, I was across the street for a gun rally on the steps of the
Capitol. I had never been to a gun rally before. I expected it to be all
about hunters and guns. I was surprised: People were not afraid of not being
able to hunt. They were not afraid of criminals at all. Do you know who they
were afraid of? The Federal Government. I was shocked. They were afraid of
the government taking away their freedoms.

The reason I went to the rally in the first place was that I heard children,
like me, talking with President Obama about guns on the radio. I think those
kids were far too young to make policy, and got it all wrong.

Naturally, I don't want my mom or dad to die either, nor my friends or
family. But I learned in school that the First Amendment gives us our Basic
Freedoms, like Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion and Freedom to
Assemble. To protect our God-given rights, our Founders gave us the 2nd
Amendment: The Right to Bear Arms.

My Civics teacher taught us that the reason our Founding Fathers gave us the
right to bear arms is to protect ourselves from the government of man
because when man is given absolute power, he becomes absolutely corrupt. In
1776, guns freed us from the abuses of King George. Today, guns keep us free
from tyranny by government.

If President Obama wants to take our guns, isn't he taking away our means to
protect our right to freedom? Wasn't the 2nd Amendment given to us to
protect our 1st Amendment rights? It's not by chance that those are the
first two amendments. They were the two most important gifts our Founders
gave the American people.

I don't know. I'm just a 14 year old girl, and that's what I thought I
learned in school. Did Mr. Obama learn something different in school than
that?

I think it is terrible for someone to use a national tragedy for political
gain, don't you? So, when I heard Mr. Obama issued 23 gun control orders in
the wake of the Newtown tragedy, I was upset. In school I was taught
executive means to execute laws -- not make them. When did that change?
Didn't the president swear an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution? Doesn't
the 2nd Amendment state: "the right for people to keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed." ˇ Tell me how 23 orders on gun control is not an
infringement. Can someone please tell me that? Has King George returned?

I hope New Hampshire members of congress remember their pledge and do not
use this tragedy to create unjust laws.

So I ask myself, what gun would our Founders want their citizen militia to
have today to protect us from a government greedy for power. I think Thomas
Jefferson would recommend a semi-automatic rifle with 50-round clips, and
pistols that hold 20. But, I'm sure George Washington would demand these
arms.

Just so you know, I don't even own a gun, nor does my mom, or dad. But when
I'm old enough, I want the right to buy a gun if I want to, so I can protect
the America that I love. I hope I never need one, but I always say, "plan
for the worst and hope for the best". Unfortunately, that's sort of why the
government is taking away our guns: they are planning for the worst
Americans, and not thinking of the best. Maybe the question we should be
asking is what caused the morality of the United States to decay? Are
parents no longer teaching their kids "thou shalt not kill?"

I want to live in an America with laws that protect the best people on
Earth, not the worst, don't you? Wouldn't that be more free? Wouldn't that
be more American? Isn't freedom what America is all about? The right to bear
arms is our best guarantee to live free.

Finally, at my track meet at UNH on Sunday, I read the banner on the wall.
It said three words: Tradition. Pride. Excellence. I hope and pray that New
Hampshire will continue its tradition of excellence and lead the way for the
rest of the county, and never infringe on my rights. May the people of the
great state of New Hampshire carry on their long tradition of freedom, so we
can proclaim with pride the words our forefathers gave us: Live Free or Die!

This is our United States. This is our New Hampshire. And that should never
change.

Live Free or Die, New Hampshire!

Thank you,
Daphne Jordan
