tbf that second sign might deter a completely rational potential mass murderer of children.

does the right wing really want to arm teachers unions

Given that these school shootings often end in suicides, 'deadly force' doesn't seem like the best deterrent. These people must think they live in a videogame.

I don't really understand the logistics of arming teachers. For teachers that work with populations like elementary school students, emotionally disturbed/developmentally disabled students, etc. those guns need to be locked up so that the kids can't reach them. But if they're locked up, HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO USE IT when you're the first classroom that a shooter barges in on?

today on a semi truck i saw "chronicles 7:14". i figured this meant it was an evangelical code-verse of some kind, and lo and behold it is:

http://www.enjoythebible.org/studies/misuse1.html

This article touches upon the issue of the healing of our land that is often spoken about in the Kingdom Now teaching and Dominion Theology that is so popular today. The basic tenet of this teaching is that it is the church’s responsibility to bring in God’s kingdom on this earth. Israel failed to do that and the church is failing to do it now. Proponents of the doctrine contend that Christ is waiting for Christians to take control in the nations and lands where they are and to establish His kingdom on this earth. It is even sometimes stated that the return of Christ to the earth is directly tied to the church fulfilling its obligation to bring in the kingdom.

Spooky.

Why is Pinky in business with this asshole

I had to euthanize my wife because of the increased costs of Obamacare. I own a business that would likely have seen a huge increase in insurance costs. These costs would have had to be passed on to the customer. What customer is going to pay 3 cents more for a product? Someone that values the health and well being of a fellow citizen? Yeah right. So I put my wife down. With the savings from that, I will likely be able to keep prices down. If not, I might sell my Porsche.

Love the idea that a t-shirt that simply says "so?" can be considered a conversation starter. I should try my hand at this. Please send me a check for $25, and I will send you:

strongly recommend this

“This isn’t a ‘Lame Duck Congress’. It’s more like a crazy duck on steroids!”
– Scott Rohter, reflecting back on the last days of the 111th Congress.

this scott rohter fellow is mad quotable

“It is the unfortunate truth that liberty is as much in danger from too much government, as it is from too little government! What is needed is the proper balance.” – Scott Rohter, inspired by a quote from James Madison

Just saw a book on the shelf co-written by Dr James Dobson for which the plot is that lack of father presence in families has brought the world to the brink of destruction as "current social trends are writ large."

And you didn't buy it?

I only narrowly avoided burning it in the office hallway.

Yeah, the "Inspirational Reading" bookstands that show up in airport news agents are full of that kind of thing, along with various snake oil / new agey "biblical healing" tomes, going a long way to verifying Rick Perlstein's bit about modern conservatism being primarily focused on soaking their authoritarian followers for as much loot as possible

Donald Trump suing Bill Maher after proving he's not an orangutan
by Sean O'Neal

02.05.13+ Share

Disgusted that anyone would make a disingenuous offer to charity solely in order to draw attention to himself and his own petty, ego-driven vendettas, Donald Trump is suing Bill Maher for $5 million over a joke the Real Time host made on The Tonight Show, mocking Trump’s own recent offer to charity on the condition that President Obama show Donald Trump his college and passport records. Of course, in that case, Trump dutifully honored his agreement by not giving any money to any charity, after the President selfishly refused to meet the demands of self-aggrandizing businessmen with bafflingly easy access to TV cameras. As such, Trump expects Maher to comply in a similar fashion, given that the comedian challenged Trump to prove he’s not the “spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan,” and Trump complied by producing a birth certificate that lists his father as “Fred Trump” and not “An Orangutan.”

Of course, while there’s no proof that this is Trump’s real birth certificate, and most of us are still holding out for the long-form, “Not A Half-Orangutan Baby” birth certificate that all government offices require, Trump argues that he’s already fulfilled his side of what he believes constitutes a verbal contract, even if some might argue Maher’s statement was just a joke and that Donald Trump is a humorless jackass. “I don't think he was joking. He said it with venom. That was venom. That wasn't a joke. In fact, he was nervous when he said it. It was a pathetic delivery,” Trump said in a phone call to Fox & Friends, where serious legal arguments are made.
Anyway, while not even Trump is confident he’ll win his lawsuit, he says he was obligated—not just “to sue for charity,” which, unfortunately, can only get money whenever Donald Trump’s ego has been satiated. But also to prove, in a court that has nothing better to do, that Donald Trump is definitely not some senseless monkey man, driven by a laughably primitive urge to beat his chest and prove his alpha male status by repeatedly slinging his shit everywhere.

would love to know who put this together
