GREGORY: Do you support efforts to have the 14th amendment amended at this point?…
BOEHNER: Listen, I think it’s worth considering. It’s a serious problem that affects our country, and in certain parts of our country, clearly our schools, our hospitals are being overrun by illegal immigrants…
Yes, some people with an identifiable skin tone not usually confined to the Wonka factory are alleged to have done something that barely affects white people but bothers some of them nonetheless.
By GOD let’s change the Constitution!
Meanwhile, we cannot even get Republicans (and too many Democrats) to even read the first half of the Second Amendment. Not that it is considered polite to ask them to do so. They might level their .38 special at you for your impertinence.

But everyone knows “A well regulated militia…” means no regulations whatsover, anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
The crazier they talk, the easier it is to call them crazy. And even if the (R) candidate in your state or district doesn’t seem crazy, they all vote alike.
I like what I see. In your guts, you know they’re nuts.
What particularly grated on me, though my stomach wasn’t strong enough to watch the segment exhibiting Great Orange Boehner, was that Gregory referred to ‘Leader’ Boehner. Excuse me? Sounds like ‘Great’ is understood in this sentence.
LOL!!! Very funny. He had a particularly nice orange glow about him yesterday morning.
Recent historical research has revealed that the Second Amendment was NOT put in place so citizens could rise up against a tyrannical government. It was written so the slave states could form militias to put down slave rebellions.
Far from representing freedom; guns represent slavery. As always, the gun guys got it wrong. May the souls of the slain children haunt their dreams.
We must obey
The Corporate Way
My two pence on a Constitutional Convention 2.0, end corporate personhood, and limit service in the federal legislature to 12 years.
Good morning, pups. It’s The Pasty Little Putz and Krugman today. Oh, saints preserve us. The Pasty Little Putz has decided to hold forth on the sanctity of marriage. In “The Marriage Ideal” he has decided to instruct us on what’s at stake in the debate over gay marriage. Prof. Krugman, in “America Goes Dark,” says with infrastructure and education crumbling, we’re on the unlit, unpaved road to nowhere.
Here they are.
The coffee and tea are ready, the cold drinks are in the fridge, and the biscuits are out of the oven. I’m not particularly thrilled that it’s Monday. It’s bad enough to have to go back to work, but that AND the Putz is almost more than a body can bear. This calls for a second cup of tea. Have a great day.
Thanks, Marion. Saints are all there is to preserve with? That hasn’t proved much of a deterrence to the church they’re part of, has it.
Krugman is increasingly dark, maybe the effect of seeing his own proven great acumen ridden roughshod over by morans like Ryan, and the U.S. goes deeper, ever deeper, into a ditch it could have avoided altogether.
Douthat shifts in his leather chair, setting down the Meerschaum as he glances up at the Russell Crowe Gladiator movie poster in his den.
“Maximus,” he mutters, “our empire is doomed”.
“affects” Attaturk. (my internal editor never sleeps)
Krugman has been very dire and scary lately. He’s usually right, but I hope not this time.
If they get their way, can we deport Michelle Malkin?
I just, as the kidz today say, LOLed.
Fixed, thanks. The other embarrassing thing is that I had it right in the prior paragraph.
Everybody needs a muse, even Doubthat.
Bringing The War Home. KKKarl Rove wants Julian Assange hunted down and presumably tortured. Recall that KKKarl Rove, was part of the WMD Conspiracy, to punish Joe Wilson, Wilson proved Niger was not giving uranium to Irak. The false claim about uranium was the alleged reason for war. Rove is a war criminal.
And because it was right, my eyes just went right past it and I didn’t even notice you had used it in the prior paragraph. Only the errors trip my internal editor, and they might as well be in blinking neon. It can be a curse sometimes.
And I just noticed the “orange” picture. LOL.
This man was once Speaker. AMERICA TORTURED PEOPLE.
My reply to John Boehner is to paraphrase Judge Walker: Conjecture, fears, and speculations are not enough, dickhead. Also.
It’s the reason “impact” grew up from Noun form and became a Verb in some people’s universe, although not mine.
No, Boehner was never Speaker.
indeed, the USSC now says there are no states rights relative to gun control – except, perhaps, reasonable urban area rules might be OK’d in a future decision.
Word! It’s so last millennium. From the Newtonian universe of kinetic force, power, leverage, ballistics as the “proper” ways to get things done, even in the human world.
[Snark on]
‘Cuz we all know how much we love being forced to do things.
I mean, who needs persuasion, when you can use force? We don’t need no stinking diplomacy, what we need is to leverage our forces to impact the target’s behavior.
[Snark off]
Not that anyone will care, but I just came up with a new nickname for myself: Dave Snarker Parker. Snarker Parker strikes again! I just like saying “The Snarker.”
Although Boehner was never Speaker, he certainly plans on taking the gavel after the November election. But with enough support now, and votes on November 2, he may no longer be the minority leader, either. He has a strong competitor, Justin Coussoule, in the OH-8, an outstanding candidate who is getting attention nationwide. He has the support of ActBlue and PFAW, which has erected billboards, which are getting the attention of the television news, and a tv spot which will be airing soon. I think this is the most important House race in the country, and the demographics show that Justin can (and, I believe, will!) win this election. Yes, as one of the crazies who call for the change or repeal of the 14th Amendment and have convinced anyone who hasn’t learned critical thinking that the 2nd Amendment means we should all be packing heat, defeating John Boehner would let a lot of air out of their balloon. Please visit Justin Coussoule on Facebook, or go to his web site: Coussoule for Congress, and learn about this outstanding young man.
Is Republicans stupid?
Laura Ingraham thinks “banshee” is Native American (Colbert Report).
Some on-site reporter at Fox News just now, talking about the prison escapees, said, “And that was the car he said he had saw.”
Nevertheless! Shep Smith talking a minute ago to Andrew Napolitano about Gitmo was the first fair, balanced, truthful, genuine, dangerously righteous, constitutional American THING I’ve heard on cable news in years. If they keep doin’ that, Republicans are going to look better. And better. And better. To me.
(Cuz I hates Democrats now. They will not git mah vote. They are republicans with D’s after their names. And the president is a king!)
not snark.
Also too, what if The People voted on a state referendum to make something like handguns illegal? Would they counsel America to just accept that, since THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN? Or would they go crying to the Supreme Court to get it overturned?
