ghare: Dear President Obama and the Democrats:

Please, I beg you, come out in favor of breathing.

No, I can't let them do that. Do you understand how much more stupidity we would be exposed to?

It may start with Hannity speaking about President Obama's sudden support of breathing. Then Hannity posits, "if Obama is such a big supporter of breathing then why is this the first time we're hearing about it? I mean, everyone agrees that breathing is good so why did it take him so long before he said anything? It isn't hard to show your support for breathing." To demonstrate how easy it is for Obama to support breathing, they will run clips of various Republican congress critters advocating for CPR classes during First Aid week. Then, it'll cut back to Hannity. Now, he's in the company of three bleached blonde "experts" in breathing.

They begin exchanging stories of how they already came out in favor of breathing. To illustrate how easy it is to breathe, camera three zooms in on the chesty blonde in the middle. The other two point out the breathing signs. Then they show a picture of President Obama and comment on the lack of breathing signs. They imply that not only is he waffling on breathing but that he may not even be a breather.

You do not have any right to subject me to this.

The Texas state legislature is currently debating a bill to require all Hummer owners to do donuts in their nearest Wal-Mart parking lot for at least an hour a day.

I have no idea, but No. 1 appears to be chuckling in the background (and not in uniform). Not sure if that is any kind of clue, but... I wonder if it is from one of the light-hearted moments typical at the end of an episode.

Grand_Moff_Joseph: jso2897: Grand_Moff_Joseph: I suppose no one in AZ bothered to read the bill. If they did, they would have come across two minor details:

1. The entire thing is a non-binding resolution/statement of shared principles

2. Participation in achieveing any stated goals is VOLUNTARY


Score another point for reality.

Sounds more like a point for idiot, impotent symbolism than reality.
But I'm not against any of this. I think it's time to quit intervening, and make an example. Let the Right drive Arizona (or Alabama, or whoever) off a cliff. Let the rest of the nation witness, observe, and learn.
It's way past time to quit trying to protect these retards from themselves.

This. In fact, let's use AZ as the test case. They want to be all 10th amendment/boot strappy? Fine! Remove every single federal dollar, employee, and resource from the state. ALL of it, including law enforcement. Let AZ fend for themselves for a year, and see how they do.

Upon its total and complete collapse, they will argue that the federal government has created a state of dependency and that's why they were unable to survive. They will argue that if the state was slowly weaned off federal support then it would have worked.

The Republicans uniformly accept this analysis and it will be used to explain the next three decades of outrageous legislation the Republicans start passing.

I used to think that everybody getting behind Romney was a sign that there would be no outright Republican stupidity for at least the next year or so.

Thanks, Arizona. For a minute I thought the Republicans might have a slim chance. Not now. :)

Good.... Good..... Let the derp flow through you.

Just out of the frame is Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Bed, chowing down on that beaver in the most Objectivist possible manner. Just going to town on it.

...bill that would outlaw government support of any of the 27 principles contained in the 1992 United Nations Rio Declaration on Environment and Development...sponsored by state Sen. Judy Burges, R-Sun City West...

Among the U.N. declaration's non-binding principles are calls for...the participation of women in government decisions.

Republican women are now proposing bills to outlaw their ability to propose bills.

You can't make this shiat up.

I wonder if the hand wringing over Agenda 21 comes from a fundamental inability to comprehend the written word. Specifically, the word "state" does not refer to individual states in the US, but nation-states.

It's a terrible thing to have to ask if republicans are this dumb, but it's even more terrible to already know the answer.

I would think that Objectivist oral sex would be somewhat unsatisfying.

Do we have anyone in this thread who actually lives in AZ? I'm really curious, does this sort of thing (and do the people in the video from TFA) actually represent a significant portion of the population? Do you just meet people in bars, or at work, who are seriously worried about the UN using sustainability as an excuse to attack US liberties?

I feel like this sort of thing is born out of a culture I haven't even begun to comprehend.

What the f*ck, Arizona?

Do you NOT live in a desert?! Don't you think it would make sense to, I don't know, LEARN TO GROW CROPS IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS?

Every time I think WI has finally hit bottom, I look at AZ and see the incredible distance we still have to fall. I have to go to a conference in AZ next month, and I hate that I have to in any small way contribute to their economy.

But then the Democrats would attach regulation after regulation on the air and your breathing....they would want complete control over your each and every breath. They would determine if you are breathing too much and, as it sees fit to, would redistribute your breaths, establish new spending programs in times of air surpluses, and to return to you only that portion of your breathing which is politically expedient.

I lived there until 2005, in Tucson. Problem is, I was in graduate school, so I was hanging out with a bunch of liberals the whole time, and most everyone I encountered was a reasonable human being. The weirdos tended to be too left wing. Also, Tucson is practically in another reality compared to much of the state. My in-laws live there too, and I can say he is hard right, ultra conservative (no women in positions of power, etc.) and a dittohead. He eats this shiat up. I think alot of people in his neighborhood could be the same, so even there apparently there are pockets of these loons. I am told that Phoenix is the real problem area.

scarmig: On the flip side, the UN is pretty farking useless, so while I don't think cutting off your head despite your face is a smart move for AZ, giving the UN the finger is pretty cool.

Except this is like blasting yourself in the foot with a shotgun to spite the next-door neighbor for daring to say it might be a good idea to water your garden.

Are the people of Arizona rightly reaching for their pitch forks finally or are they fully farking manipulated and brainwashed by these egoist reactionary ethnocentric state legislators?

In reality, the Democrats would stare at each other in disbelief but do absolutely to capitalize of the new trend. Democrats would try to resume business as usual. Each time the Republicans would cry that Obama is launching a war on breathing, the Democrats would pretend like their argument is valid by discussing the merits of this claim.

winterwhile: MSNBC is still on the air????

I watch Maddow. I would love to see a battle of wits with Maddow against every single blonde bimbo on Fox news. It would be like watching a silverback crush grapes.

peasandcarrots: I was in Arizona in 1999 on a road trip and decided to visit Meteor Crater. The guide, who was probably in his sixties, was giving his tour. Partway through his description of the history of the place, he started ranting about President Clinton and government occupation and Patriotic Americans standing firm against Federal intrusion. At the same time, all the middle-aged tourists standing around listening to this diatribe were all nodding like their heads were on the same string, or saying, "True, so true" to each other. It was very, very strange.

The tour guide was apparently confusing "national monument," which would have required turning over Barringer Crater to the Federal Government, and "National Natural Landmark," which can involve public or private ownership - and which had been conferred on Barringer Crater in 1967. To him, apparently "national natural landmark" was the first step on the slippery slope to some kind of wholesale nationwide government confiscation of private property. It kind of spoiled the whole experience. I can't imagine that things in Arizona have gotten any better since then.

That's the problem; anywhere you go there's always some jackass that just has to f*cking bring bullshiat partisan politics into everything. I would have either left or told him to shut up and tell me more about geology, unless that's a UN conspiracy.

This is one of the things they are outlawing...

Principle 2

States have, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the
principles of international law, the sovereign right to exploit their own
resources pursuant to their own environmental and developmental policies, and
the responsibility to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or
control do not cause damage to the environment of other States or of areas
beyond the limits of national jurisdiction.

So, to protect themselves from a UN conspiracy, they are outlawing their "sovereign right to exploit their own
resources pursuant to their own environmental and developmental policies"

Which means the very law they are passing would not be valid...

but if it wasn't valid then they'd still have a sovereign right...

so then it would be valid

THE DERP IN ARIZONA HAS CREATED A LEGAL PARADOX!!!1!!1!

I had a similar discussion with a friend a few hours ago, but about science rather than politics. Being a particle physicist, his views of other fields are...colored by his own idea that he works at the "base line" of material and science and thus knows everything about every other field because he's too pretty for his own good and that has left him with an inflated ego. But the on topic point is, models, especially those of complex behavior, do not "nest" within each other. Your attempt to understand their ideology is exactly what stops you from understanding it. You have to think like your mental verbal representation is 100% correct at all times. Fox and their echo chamber allows this to be reinforced.
