The election of Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Robert Hurt, Rob Portman, Jim DeMint, Richard Shelby, Tom Coburn, Richard Burr, John Thune, Johnny Isakson, Mike Crapo, John McCain, Jerry Moran, John Hoeven, Chuck Grassley, Dan Coates, John Boozman, David Vitter and Mike Lee can only mean one thing:
Stupid is as stupid does! And we sure does stupid!
Early returns indicate the South is embracing all the idiots this election, from Ayn Rand Paul in Kentucky to Marco Rubio in Florida. Like Tugg Speedman from Tropic Thunder, they’ll soon learn to regret not having the sage advice of Kirk Lazarus to guide their voting:
You went full retard, man. Never go full retard.
Would be amusing if they weren't all heavily armed.
Can reactionaries get any loonier than sovereign citizens? I say we declare war and attack! Or we could march them out to a reservation somewhere in Montana. See how well that works out for them!
*Update* Ayn Rand Paul should join these loonies out on the reservation. Forget Montana, let’s relocate the ‘sovereigns’ to Kentucky.
They're coming to get you, Rand!
There he goes again, shooting his mouth off! “Ayn” Rand Paul vows to stop illegal immigration by building a vast underground electric fence on our southern border. Underground? Who is he planning to stop, the Mole People?
Or as the Mole People themselves put in (courtesy of the Residents in Mark of the Mole):
“We have left our lives, we have left our land,
We have left behind all we understand,
Now we must cry out, yes we must demand –
Let my children live in a land that’s low,
Where the holes are deeper than light can go;
Let them have not pride but instead a soul
That can see the shame of the hands that glow.!”
From his recent attack on the Civil Rights Act it was pretty clear that Ayn Rand Paul is pretty extreme even for wacky Libertarians. But from Paul’s criticism of Obama over his handling of the recent mining tragedy and BP oil catastrophe, I’m beginning to suspect that he’s actually quite stupid as well:
“And I think it’s [Obama's call to have BP stop the leak] part of this sort of blame-game society in the sense that it’s always got to be somebody’s fault instead of the fact that maybe sometimes accidents happen,” Paul said.
“We had a mining accident that was very tragic. … Then we come in and it’s always someone’s fault. “
Yeah, dumb-ass, accidents do happen. That’s why we have these things called ‘regulations’ to put technology and processes in place to minimize the chance of accidents occurring, and to mitigate the effects of accidents after they occur. ”Blame” is quite fitting when an actor such as BP actively worked to undermine additional safety regulations targeted to avoid just such an event, not to mention BP making numerous mistakes, shortcutting their own internal safety regulations and procedures. Paul – you are a fucking nitwit!
And speaking of stupid, hypocritical conservatives, Loserman is also attacking Obama over the BP oil leak response, complaining about the government’s lack of preparedness. WTF? Loserman minced across the aisles during the recent 8-year Repug Reign of Error, gleefully voting against industry regulations left and right, including voting for legislation that would ‘cap’ BP’s liabilities for such a spill at $75M – petty cash, compared the billions this will end up costing in the end.
These two tragedies are perfect examples of industry lobbying, combined with pliant political tools, privatizes profits and socializes the risks of extractive industries. And yet another compelling argument (as if we needed one) of why we need not merely to stop industry donations to political campaigns, but should also impeach frickin “Justice” Samuel Alito.
Note how Ayn Rand Paul uses weasel words to imply that he is against Civil Rights when it applies to the private sector without having the balls to actually say that he supports the right of a private party to discriminate. Private Sector sounds so innocuous until you consider what that applies to where you could work, live and shop – pretty much how we spend 50% of our lives.
You can see why I despise fucking Libertarianism and extremists like Ayn Rand Paul.
