Her actions will irreparably alter the time-space continuum and--due to the 'butterfly effect'--forever change both history and the future. Good lawd, has no one told her that this impact on our society could well mean that her BFF, Jesus "JC" Christ, might never have been born and we could all end up living under an Islamic theocracy? Actually, I wish people would just leave her alone about this. She is so entertaining in her bizarro conspiracy theory world, it would be a shame to have her suddenly do something rational and normal. Besides, it would be poetic justice if her own stupidity cost her her seat and cost the state of MN (where I am from) a district. Truly no great loss if that district goes away: http://mickeymusing.vox.com/library/post/huac-lewey-and-dumbass.html.

And they have only one perspective: preen for the camera, utter platitudes about balance, and smile as the corporate money flows in. Sacredh, the bluedogs are good for nothing except themselves.

When you're in a position to get anything you want, there has to be someone holding you back. I'm hoping our blue dog democrats keep things in perspective if the meltdown on the other side continues. The blue dogs are a party within a party. Without checks and balances you know we're going to get into trouble.

I can't see us being this nutty at the end of our time at the helm, but, without any opposition, the only restraint is that which we place on ourselves, and that is <i>not</i> good news! apollyon07:

It really is necessary for there to be a good opposing force. 53_3: Thanks, I hope I do too, but at this point in time I'm not optimistic.

Last I remember, the Church of England was at the core of the numerous references to 'separation of church and state'. . I hope you and Exiled can find a new home in the opposition that isn't so crazy. I really do, because we need an opposing force to keep us honest, and if we don't measure up, we'll go the way of the last administration. Oh, for a return to the respect for checks and balances, and not just the oft-referred to ones in elected government! apollyon07:

Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia and Florida's John Mica...how about them in 2012/16? . And OH MY GOD Kattest, the "Obama is a Muslim" thing? Really?! So Obama somehow has concealed his "Muslim faith" for all these years? You know, what makes me maddest about that thing, is not that people are lying about his religion, it's the implication that if he was/is really a Muslim, that this would be some sort of a problem. Don't we live in a secular country? It's not the politician's religious beliefs that should be of concern, it should be how they apply it to actual governing. . For example: 1-Mike Huckabee is a devout Christian. No problem. 2- Mike Huckabee went on the record saying that we should change the Constitution to fit God's word. Huge problem. . See what I'm saying? And as an aside, believing that Obama is a closet Muslim to me is almost as crazy as believing what those idiot "9/11 Truthers" believe. Reps.
