Quote of the day: "Where is disease most transmittable? When you're in very close confines on a ship. We all know about cruises and how they get these diarrhea viruses that are transmitted very easily and the whole ship gets sick. Can you imagine if a whole ship full of our soldiers catch Ebola?" ~ Rand Paul on Obama's decision to send troops to West Africa.

Texas State Senator Charles Perry asks, "You know who else had a federal government?  "quote:There were 10,000 people that were paraded into a medical office under the guise of a physical. As they stood with their back against the wall, they were executed with a bullet through the throat. Before they left, 10,000 people met their fate that way. Is it not the same than when our government continues to perpetuate laws that lead citizens away from God? To answer your question, Chuck, nope, not the same.

Self-term-limiting also became a thing with Tea Party candidates pledging that they would only run twice. Which is just fine with me. It's especially popular with those who want to repeal the 17th Amendment, i.e. dumb people.

If you think things like the Electoral College are silly, spend some time reading about the ideas that were rejected. John Adams wanted the title of the President to be "His High Mightiness, the President of the United States and Protector of Their Liberties", for example.

ComradeCosmobot posted:On the topic of redistricting and gerrymandering, SCOTUS has some good news for you today! They just agreed to take a case that will decide if independent nonpartisan redistricting commissions are unconstitutional, potentially overturning a century-worth of precedents! Thomas writes a majority opinion that districts are unconstitutional as there's no mention of them in the document and we get proportional representation in 2016

1337JiveTurkey posted:Asian Americans have swung from something like voting 2 to 1 for Bush in 1992 to about 2 to 1 for Obama in 2012 so yeah there's something big going on there. Not especially surprising. First generation immigrants are more conservative than second (third, fourth, etc.) generations and there was a significant increase in Asian immigration to the US beginning in the sixties.

Re-adopting the "50 state strategy" (which, by the way, is still the official policy of the DNC) is not going to magically recreate the conditions that led to the 2006 Democratic wave election in which this guy played a rather large role.

Member of the Colorado Board of Education has a Smart Take on the new AP US History exam standards.quote:As an example, I note our slavery history. Yes, we practiced slavery. But we also ended it voluntarily, at great sacrifice, while the practice continues in many countries still today! Shouldn't our students be provided that viewpoint? This is part of the argument that America is exceptional. Does our APUSH Framework support or denigrate that position? Who will teach our children of America's great voluntary emancipation?

Tom Cotton is now the highest profile member of the GOP to warn of the Islamic State of the Ozarks and Dixie.quote:“The problem is with Mark Pryor and Barack Obama refusing to enforce our immigration laws, and refusing to secure our border. I’ll change that when I’m in the United States Senate. And I would add, it’s not just an immigration problem. We now know that it’s a security problem. Groups like the Islamic State collaborate with drug cartels in Mexico who have clearly shown they’re willing to expand outside the drug trade into human trafficking and potentially even terrorism. When asked about his claims, his campaign staff sent back links to WND and Breitbart. Seriously.
