5. And this is not a monarchy. So those who failed at civics, are doubling down with denial.

Why doesn't Rand Paul threaten to shut down the government over the Patriot Act, when he's threatening to do it over healthcare?

Why has he attached his personhood bills to deny women 4th amendment rights and support GOP rape of women with objects for theocrats?

Snowden supported the Patriot Act and the Iraq War and shooting all whistleblowers when it gave him a job. No, he didn't have an epiphany and doesn't care about people's rights. After all, he's called for taking the safety net from millions.

But I'm really tired of listening to the cult. Let's talk reality and change, and not get diverted. That is all that this has been, 'ripping the Democratic Party to shreds' until their hero Rand takes over.

Then we will never see this kind of liberal again:



There is only one term there some care about, 'civil liberties' for the 1% media gods. They didn't get worked up about the rest of us losing our right to privacy of our own bodies while their heroes supported taking them away from women, and don't get excited about the right to vote or any of that piddly stuff.

If they cared, they'd be celebrating what this president has done to stop their heroes denying half the population rights NOW.
Obama doesn't need the entire country to vote for him or anyone at all even. He's PoliticAverse Aug 2013 #1
