Can't do nothing no more

[Leoreth]

Its clearly racist to oppose smoking. What were the Indians doing, peacefully, when evil white Europeans landed and stole Amurika? Why, they were sitting around the fire smoking tobacco in PEACEPIPES.

Sounds like prohibiting smoking is an ancestral American tradition that every true conservative should honor.

 

[Borachio]

I thought North American Indians mostly smoked willow bark. Have I been misled?

America's lake of liberty has fallen beyond drought levels.

In Arlington, Virginia a man woke up to find a roomate had drawn a penis on his face with a permanent marker. He then beat the snot out of him. Of course. But then he was arrested! What the heck is that all about?

In Fairfield, Connecticut police arrested a 55-year-old local man accused of throwing a sandwich at a McDonald’s employee because he did not like how it was made. What? Arrested for throwing a sandwich? What IS one supposed to do with a poorly made sandwich. Vast, ghastly overreach of government and police power.

And finally this story:

An Indiana County man is facing several charges, after wildlife officials say he went deer hunting in a Walmart parking lot.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission says 40-year-old Arcangelo Bianco Jr., fired several rounds from a handgun at a 10-point white-tailed deer from within the Burrell Township store’s parking lot, and then bagged the animal near Old William Penn Highway.


Good for him I'd say and to hell with those who want to infringe our rights.

We can't do nothing no more without running afoul of God accursed government. I got a notice that I needed an eye exam to retain my driving privilege (as if my right to drive is a privilege) despite the fact that my license is valid for many more years. And get it right quick, within days as the letter arrived some three weeks after the date it was allegedly written. So off to the eye doctor I go having just gotten an exam recently I thought I had it covered. All I need is to get a copy of my last exam and the docs signature.

Well, no. After receiving the certification from my doctor it was rejected on the grounds that my last exam was over six months ago (it was six months, three days old...on the day the certification was sent in). You'll have to get a new exam and right quick or have your license revoked. How quick? Right quick it seemed, as the very next day the same mailbox revealed a license revocation letter, dated the same day as the letter than had given me till the middle of next month to get right with God (as government likes itself to be referred to these days).

So, now I have been, once more, branded an outlaw for no particular reason. I must immediately mail in my license and therefore I cannot drive to the doctor for a most unnecessary eye exam, which I must have before I then cannot drive to the license bureau to have a new license issued, if, or, in the case I ever get a magic letter from God (er, the government) saying I am in the clear.

My plan of course is to arm myself and ride off on my bike, carefully avoiding any known deer crossings (as I have enough trouble already). If stopped, I aim to knock out the offending patrolman with a poor imitation of a big Mac sandwich and draw a penis on his prone face with a red crayon.

I'll fight.

When will you?

That's great and all, but I don't want to die at a farmers market.

Does the United States Postal Service discriminate against atheists? A recent experiment suggests it does. ATHEIST SHOES is a German based-company that, as its name suggests, makes comfy kicks "for people who don't believe in god(s)." The company regularly ships shoes, like the ones pictured above, to America. When it does, it seals its boxes with tape featuring the company logo, which is stylized as "ATHEIST · ATHEIST · ATHEIST" (see below). But these shipments often run into problems.

After testing it out Atheist shoes no longer uses Atheist tape on American shipments.

But, we are still here, and we are looking at your feet. Watch your step.

Vaguely threatening non-believers? Quaint.

We all know you are jealous of our awesome sneakers. But don't worry, you will be issued a matching pair when you arrive at your local FEMA concentration camp.

We atheists absolutely love being even slightly discriminated against. It really feeds into our average personality type and gets our blood pumping.

If you just pat us on the head and pass us by we're nearly powerless and it drives us crazy. Remember that the next time you feel like complaining about an atheist billboard or sneaker.

EDIT: In all seriousness, though, if some postal worker messed with a package of mine because it said "Atheist" I would legitimately be pretty pissed.

Well, this story changed my position on a possible Federal bailout of the Postal Service I can tell you that.

Excuse me, but I disagree. I love being moderately discriminated, I loathe being patronisingly slightly discriminated. It makes me want to carpet bomb Christmas

 

[Antilogic]

Christmas will be outlawed and replaced by forced-gay-mixed-religion-and-ethnicity marriage ceremonies in the near future. Set your alarms, folks, and kiss your waifus goodbye.

It's true!

I'll fight.

waiting, waiting....

I can actually sympathize with the driving thing because most of the US does not have any sort of public transport system, if you are unable to drive it severely limits your ability.

One can sympathize, but the solution for that isn't to recognize some right to drive, the solution is to remove all the financial subsidies that make sprawling suburbs so much cheaper than they actually are, and then we'll actually build good cities.

 

[AlpsStranger]

I vote that we replace Christmas with Bacchanalia.

Sorry, the evil gubbamint is re-enacting Prohibition. Can't have drunk white slave labor, now, can we?

 

[AlpsStranger]

Hah. I barely drink, but if they ever outlaw alcohol again I'm going out of my way to start.

 

[Antilogic]

Don't worry, there will be plenty of addictive drugs and orgies to entertain you in the camps. Plus, the drugs will keep you nice and mellow and non-rebellious. That's why ADHD diagnoses have been increasing at such a titanic rate in the last 20 years.

It's already starting.

As a true atheist, I do not believe in shoes.

Okay, relax everybody. I've found something that we can still do in America within the strictures of political correctness:

According to new data released by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 19.7 million new venereal infections in the United States in 2008, bringing the total number of existing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the U.S. at that time to 110,197,000.

I blame the Iranians.

The really interesting thing is why this article, today, is refering to a study in 2008 as new data. Gubbermint must be broke.
