Where is "Vince Headset" when you need him? Call within the next 20 minutes, cause ya know we can't do this all day, and we'll include a book of matches, lighter fluid and the Declaration of Independence! Are ya' followin' me camera guy?

Or, perhaps Billy Mays. GET RID OF THOSE ANNOYING HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS!!! GOODBYE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!!! ALSO WORKS GREAT ON THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION, THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT, THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS, AND THAT PESKY PEACE TREATY SIGNED ON THE DECK OF THE USS MISSOURI!!!! (Two thumbs up gesture).

This is just what our dictator OBAMA wants to do like many in his corupt party becuase they dont belive in the constitution like many other socialists scumballs

Hey everybody, since you're so upset about all of the pesky government intervention in the United States, I found a "country" where you can have true and absolute freedom! No government intervention in your lives, no firearms restrictions, nothing! Complete and utter freedom! Heck, I'll even help you pack your bags!

Introducing, your new and truly free utopian homeland!

This is a quality open thread. Hilarious post by Greycat, a nice in-character follow-up by Mr Plover, and Joe's clever use of stateless anarchy as a wingnut utopia. Oh, and Joe, it's even better: everyone embraces their religion in that special place with a fervor that causes the secular humanists to soil themselves. For those of you who won't be heading to paradise right away, there's more Bad news! Things aren't going according to economists' plans for our benighted economy!

The best you can say is maybe we're still circling the old toilet bowl of economic disaster. I'd hate to think that the Obama pinheads got lucky, wouldn't you?

This is news?

Ages ago, Pete Seeger and Peter, Paul, and Mary whined about where all the flowers had gone and asked the rhetorical question, “Oh, when will they ever learn?/ Oh, when will they ever learn?” Since it’s still only April in our very un-Gore-ishly cold country, a plenitude of flowers isn’t due for another month or so but their question in 2009 could very well be directed to the print media, news services, and our new president-in-training: When will they ever learn?

As American newspaper after American newspaper folds, succumbing to the powerful force of the internet, they say, while seemingly oblivious to the reality that millions of us neither believe their slanted reporting nor trust them as far as we can throw a newspaper delivery truck, they nevertheless continue to report the inconsequential and, most egregiously, their skewed version of “the news.” At the same time, reality keeps biting Obama on the arse but he too doesn’t seem in learning mode.

Cases in point:

The Associated Press believes that teenaged Bristol Palin’s romantic life constitutes a newsworthy story: http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003950844. The highly-respected AP may next report that Bristol, who happens to be the daughter of the much-reviled governor of Alaska, has developed a nasty pimple or that Baby Tripp contracted a mild case of the croup. I can understand the need for variety in AP wires but do the editors there really believe teen romance, or lack thereof, constitutes “news,” per se? Bristol obviously made the mistake of hooking up with a loser who now craves a piece of the publicity pie. That’s as believable as the distinguished Associated Press making an issue of the rare instance of teen sex gone awry. Or could this be yet another effort to further tarnish Sarah Palin and her family?

As we shiver just going out for the paper in the morning on these expectedly balmy April days, our very astute leader, President Barack Hussein Obama has plans to relieve all our chills. His equally astute science adviser, “John Holdren told The Associated Press . . . that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays:” http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D97ECHLG1&show_article=1. The AP dutifully reported that bizarre scheme which was long ago debunked as reported here: http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=701. Since Obama notoriously keeps the Oval Office temperature at hothouse levels, he may not be aware that, Baby, it’s cold outside!

Undismayed by climate reality, Barack moved on to social matters and to demonstrate his commitment to transparency and objectivity nominated homosexual Harry Knox to his “faith-based minority council.” Mr. Knox, “a self-professed Christian who holds that the New Testament’s teaching that homosexual behavior is unnatural and wrong–which is found in St. Paul’s letter to the Romans–’is not true:’ ” http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=46263. Well, go figure! . . .

Joe's clever use of stateless anarchy as a wingnut utopia

Clever must be the new moonbat euphemism for "hackneyed cliche that's been repeated 10,000 neo-Marxist weblogs."

Conservatives don't oppose government, we oppose tyrnanny.

The New York Times reports that Timothy Guithner has a new plan. Let me run this by you.

Guithner wants to package all those worthless loans into funds - bailout funds. You know, as in something for individual investors to invest in like mutual funds. If you invest in these funds you'll be able to participate in all those profits sure to come. And, as an added bonus your investment will make you feel that you're part of the solution or something. The Obama administration wants you to be a team player. So, private citizen, wanna invest in some worthless paper? It's going fast!

US May Enlist Small Investors in Bank Bailout
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/business/09fund.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&hpw

My first thought is that isn't a bad idea, and it's something like what the market would have eventually done on its own without having to spend $700 Billion.

My next thought is, why does the government have to be involved in something like that? Unless the loans are so bad that only the guarantee of a big porky loan bailout will make people buy them.

@G of Y: I think most liberals oppose tyranny as well. Where the fulcrum lies and one's basic inclination of the nature of government account for the greatest differences.
True or False: Government can improve society. Depending on how you answer that question indicates which side of the fulcrum you likely stand. FALSE! would be many readers' response to that question.
That's where the funny is: to show the fallacy of the argument in the extreme case. Happens here all the time.

Liberals get tweaked on stories of how public universities prefer to fund porn over religion.

Still a damn funny ad.

I think most liberals oppose tyranny as well.

The Che shirts say otherwise.

The Secretary of Deficits and Tax Cheatery just had another brilliant idea: Regulate Venture Capital. They think there's too much risk.

Too much risk.

In the venture capital industry.

Geniuses.

Liberals SAY that they support gays and wome, yet they oppose a war against islam, which brutalizes both and in fact, Liberals have activly supported islam physicly attacked their own countrymen and privat property, effectivly creating a second front against the FREE countrys that DON'T whip and torture gays and women.

And that's just ONE PART of the problem with Liberals.

I find it hard to say that Liberals are against tyranny.

I think it would be better if we shredded all those stupid UN treaties including the one which got us in this wretched UN

KHarn: don't forget the undying hatred 'liberals' have for Israel, the country that gay Arabs flee to to avoid torture and execution in places like Gaza

America's Next Tea Party

The Boston Tea Party wasn’t much of a party and the ton of tea dumped into Boston harbor in 1773 represented more a sacrifice than it was a protest against Britain’s tea tax. The colonials loved their spot of tea but they loved their freedom and independence far more.

The Boston Tea Party was actually a powder keg which wasn’t the least bit dampened by the frigid New England waters that December night. The massive explosion of that keg helped serve to light the way for the American Revolution which, three years down the dusty roads of 18th century America, led to our Declaration of Independence from an oppressive King George III and a vengeful British Parliament.

The madness of King George and the stupidity and venality of that legislative body whose members, bedecked in their powdered wigs and immersed in their pride and righteous indignation, have been fully documented over the 235 intervening years since that tea party. See here for an abbreviated account of the events and consequences of the Boston Tea Party and a participant’s recollections: http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/teaparty.htm.

Five days from now, Americans will have another opportunity to inform other oppressive ruling bodies that we’re fed up and refuse to take it any longer.

The Congress of the United States and our new, reigning monarch-wanna be, Obama the First, have seen fit to impose on the American people and upon our children and grandchildren undue, repressive, and unnecessary tax burdens which are designed to create, support, and expand massive social programs intent on establishing a massive, dependent welfare state and to “share the wealth,” as King Obama let slip to Joe the Plumber during the campaign.

Most of the machinations in process are still unknown to the citizenry, such programs as ending the Bush tax cuts in 2010, a tactic which will allow our Democrats to assert they did not raise taxes. Taxes will soar because the tax cuts simply expired. Get that?

Our Democratic leaders are actively and subtly employing the ol’ boiling a frog trick: Dump that little green sucker into tepid water and gradually jack up the temperature until, Voila! you have frog legs that taste like chicken, and taxpayers who are boiled alive and ready for the Soylent Green factories–after they pay their taxes.

Scheduled not coincidentally with the day our various governments, led by and linked to the feds, exact their pounds of taxpayer flesh, April 15th, full details on the reasons and purposes behind America’s New Tea Party can be found here: http://www.teapartyday.com/.

There may or may not be any actual tea tossed into the briny on that day. It’s planned as a, hopefully peaceful, national demonstration by good, American citizens who sincerely yet forcefully demand to be heard in Washington, Albany, Trenton, Sacramento, and the rest of our state capitals. We want it made vividly clear that we do not endorse and will never support converting the United States of America into a socialist nation.

As Jefferson wrote in America’s Declaration of Independence, “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

May God bless, save, and preserve America!

If Liberals love freedom so much why are the ones that always limit people's options and want government control over everything?

Having been to People's paradises I can honesty say hell must be run by a Leftwingnut, probaBY pRESIDENTE zERO.

I think it's throwing even more good money after bad.

My first thought is that isn't a bad idea, and it's something like what the market would have eventually done on its own without having to spend $700 Billion.

The "market" way would have been to file for bankruptcy.

If Liberals love freedom so much why are the ones that always limit people's options and want government control over everything?

Liberals aren't about freedom, they're about control. They're about the government making choices for you because, if you were left to decide for yourself, you would make choices they didn't approve of; like eating trans-fats, shopping at Wal-Mart, or driving an SUV.

Having been to People's paradises I can honesty say hell must be run by a Leftwingnut, probaBY pRESIDENTE zERO.

Terminology check: leftists are moonbats, right-wingers are wingnuts. Wingnuts perform a valuable function, they hold things together, they keep the Earth on its axis, just look at any globe. Moonbats fly around squeaking and eating bugs, a lot of them are rabid, and they'll fly right into your hair if you're not careful.

That Obama, he's such a man of the people, such a regular guy. And just like all us regular guys, he flies a private chef from St. Louis to Washington just to make him a pizza.

Can you imagine the carbon footprint of that pizza run? But hey, when you get the munchies, only a handmade pizza from a private chef flown in from 860 miles away will do.

Incase you guys wanna get away from politics for a day or so (I know I get burned out every now and then), check out today's Friday Funny.

I think we should take all those worthless UN treaties and stick them through that shredder and then boot out the entire UN crinimal sindicate
