There needs to be more of this in the world.

Plus, here’s the thing. Only the right wing and the stupidest of fucking libertarian dunderheads buy into this propaganda that the government is telling citizens what lightbulbs it can use. The facts are that the government is regulating what sort of light bulbs can be manufactured in an effort to curtail pollution. They’re raising the industry standard because the technology exists to make a safer product. If in, say, 1975, the government regulated all cars be electric by 1985 we wouldn’t be in the shithole oil wars we’ve been in for the last 20 years and cruel Islamic dictators wouldn’t have us by the economic balls and Exxon and BP wouldn’t be constantly dumping oil all over our environment and running fish dinners for everyone.
But, no, lets all pretend this is an issue of ‘liberty.’ ::rolls eyes::

White Supremacist Picks Fight with Boxing Champ →
When 28-year-old white supremacist Daren Abbey began threatening Marlon Baker at an Idaho bar and threatened to stab him because “blacks are not welcome” there, he might have read the t-shirt Baker was wearing first, the Idaho Spokesman Review reports. It said, “Spokane Boxing Club Champion.”
Baker knocked Abbey unconscious with one punch. When Abbey woke up, he was arrested and charged with malicious harassment.

Gawker uncovered an amazing document written by Fox News chief Roger Ailes in 1971 when he served as a consultant to President Richard Nixon. The plan was buried within Nixon’s presidential archives and explains how Republicans could circumvent the “prejudices of network news” and deliver “pro-administration” stories to television viewers.

This article, from the New York Times, mentions neither spying nor terrorists. And yet, the Fox Nation headline of the day. From the New York Times:
“Alarmed by a shortage of primary care doctors, Obama administration officials are recruiting a team of “mystery shoppers” to pose as patients, call doctors’ offices and request appointments to see how difficult it is for people to get care when they need it.
The administration says the survey will address a “critical public policy problem”: the increasing shortage of primary care doctors, including specialists in internal medicine and family practice. It will also try to discover whether doctors are accepting patients with private insurance while turning away those in government health programs that pay lower reimbursement rates.
Wait, isn’t it CONSERVATIVES who want to force doctors to tell women what bad people they are if they want to get an abortion?
Rights don’t come in groups. We shouldn’t have gay rights.

Oh, for fuck’s sake. If they gave everyone the same rights, we wouldn’t have to fucking fight for them separately, you stupid clown.

Here we have a perfect example of the libertarian delusion. ‘We don’t need gay rights.’ ‘We don’t need civil rights.’ ‘Those rights are granted by GOD and only taken away by governments!’ Right? …right? Hey, Mr. Libertarian, why don’t you take your privilege-denying white ass down to West Philadelphia. Walk through Harlem, visit Detroit. Take a look at history and see what it meant for a Black man to try to vote in the 50’s in the South. Did Brown V. Board of Ed. take away someone’s rights? Hey, maybe it did. The way you libertarian fuckers frame it, it took away the school’s right to segregate. Well, if that’s the case than no rights exist except at the expense of another’s. This whole free-market prayer you keep chanting is a fucking lie. It doesn’t exist. You’re not be practical. You’re not being logical. You’re being idealistic and, ultimately, a distraction.
The biggest crime here is enough of these pseudo-intellectual ninnies got together and elected Ron Paul to office. And then, just to show how ‘different’ they were than the regular Republicans, they voted his fucking son into office! Where have I heard this dynasty story before?
