(2,208 posts)There have been so many completely over the top comments - calls for armed insurrection, the death of America, the worst thing since the Civil War...
And yet, this comment is so simple, sounds so normal, but shows a complete and utter lack of understanding of how things work!

(34,454 posts)Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be constitutional does not make it so..."
The way the Teabaggers try to shape shift reality is both lame and hilarious at the same time.

(1,055 posts)That makes this shit all the more laughable!!!
They way they look at GOD and believe that he answers their prayers they are in a bit of a quandary.
I had one they other day tell me that they will pray about it and GOD will strike down the ACA. My reply to him was; Did you pray before the decision was handed down? He said yes he did and that he prayed that the law would be found unconstitutional. I told him that GOD did in fact answer his prayer and that GOD by not causing the law to be found unconstitutional believes it is a good thing. He just walked away sputtering as they tend to do when you confront them with their stupidity.

My fellow Christian friends and I never get tired of quoting that placard we saw a pic of on here to those who claim to follow Jesus but who haven't a clue about who he truly was or what he stood for!!!

(1,308 posts)We would have died long ago. We are hairless apes, without any good natural weapons to defend ourselves and have to drag our young around for two years or more before they can forage for on their own.
God ain't got nothing to do with it. And if he did, then he gave us this reasoning mind to figure this kind of shit out. All the Republicans have these days are emotional outbursts, like little spoiled, angry playground bullies.

(13,452 posts)Perhaps he needs a supremer court before opting for the supremerest.
But, like I said. I don't think he has a prayer.
Too bad that even with universal health care, we couldn't cure him of the irony deficiency.

(12,875 posts)Reading DU or HuffPo (much less a conservative website) you'd think most of the people on blogs were in elementary school during the era of the 1994 health care reform debate. Oh wait... they were. Helps explain why everyone's gotten used to the idea of "individual mandates" replacing entitlements.

Proud Liberal Dem
(24,438 posts)but Rand Paul's comment about something not necessarily being constitutional "just because SCOTUS said so" was completely OTT in terms of it's abject stupidity and indifference. People like Rand Paul and Ron "I don't care about Cancer patients" Johnson demonstrate why we need to treat Senate elections even more seriously than House elections since they get SIX WHOLE YEARS to not only showcase their stupidity but also to do a LOT of damage (Paul's become a particularly proud obstructionist in the Senate).

(25,111 posts)GAWD told me to run for the President of the United States of America. I believe Perry, Cain, Santorum, Bachmann.
I don't remember Paul or Mittens saying it.
But this one from Paul Ryan to me took the cake, pie....."GAWD and nature only have the right not government" (not a direct quote).
What the hell???
bigmonkey
(1,798 posts)Wingnuts believe (or have been convinced) that the economy they promote is natural, that taxes are unnatural, that we just naturally have to let business do whatever it wants. As far as their message goes, that's the key to mesmerizing the folks they mesmerize. We'd do well to deliberately undercut it, by calling their policies and beliefs things like "odd, strange, unusual,peculiar" and especially "unnatural". They seldom state this so nakedly as Ryan did, they just imply it.
