      You were against the First Gulf War.  I remember you telling me Saddam was a military genius who would destroy us. 
 
I'm sure you were against the war in Afghanistan.  You get your identity by opposing the American government.

      You seem to think you're the only one who can think clearly about

political matters.  Americans are fools because they don't elect you as president.

It gives you the right to drink booze.  Does that hit home with anyone ?

I don't drink anymore, so reinstituting Prohibition on alchohol wouldn't bother me any. 

My preference is unaffected.

Yay Emma Sullivan!  {#Clap}

Sam Brownback Panicks Over Teenaged Tweet

The scene: A teenage girl in a high school group called Youth in Government uses her fancy new tweeting phone to exercise her constitutionally-protected right to call a governor a butthead. (Or, to be more specific, to say that he "sucked" and to create the hashtag #heblowsalot.) Her perceptive abilities proved accurate, when said Gov. Sam Brownback reveals that he uses taxpayer dollars to gather evidence that teenagers are making fun of him on Twitter, and to use that evidence to get them in trouble at school. Because the butthead quotient in this story wasn't high enough already, the school responded to Brownback's sniveling about adolescents with political opinions by attempting to force the teenage girl in question to write a letter of apology to Gov. Brownback. The teenager in question, Emma Sullivan, 18, responded by demonstrating her superior understanding of the basic principles of democracy by refusing, and instead causing the easily perturbed governor even more consternation by asking for a sit-down meeting to ask direct questions of the governor, furthering demonstrating no doubt to him that everything started to go wrong with this country when they let women have the vote...
