The Idiots in the Senate
I’m glad in this time of war, with over 2,500 dead in Iraq, a resurgent Taliban, an approaching tipping point in the environment, an economy headed for disaster, and an executive who believes he is above the law, the geniuses in the Senate are taking the time to be one vote away from approving a diminution of your First Amendment rights.
Because that’s what matters, right? Not crushing poverty. Not the Sudan. Not rising inflation. Not New Orleans. Not millions without health care.
No, it’s saving the flag from the flames of desire hatred. It is defending marriage from those marauding fags. And dykes. Can’t forget the dykes, especially when they get all dolled up in high heels and lipstick and their roommate comes over and they fall down together after having a pillowfight and oops! how did my finger get in your vagina? So, don’t forget the dykes. They’re important too. Important to stop, that is. Because we must stop the creation of a world where people who love each other get to enjoy all of the legal benefits from that love and devotion.
Pay no attention to those clicks on your phone or those mystery “SupahSekr3t Agency” charges on your bank statement. We really need to outlaw this:
Interesting that the existing (unconstitutional) law
18 USC 700(a)(1) Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.
wasn’t used to punish this guy:
Update: Amendment fails to pass Senate … by one vote. There are 66 senators who need to punch themselves in the face right about now. Jackasses.
I think the failure-by-one-vote thing is an obvious ploy by the GOoPers for the next time they need to whip up the base. Like 2008. After all, once you’ve passed the Really Stupid Amendment, how are you going to get the spittle flecking once again?
