The Goat Pen

George W. wasn't a fiscal conservative. In fact, his Medicare bills is one of the main culprits for it being in the financial mess it is.

That's like a business that is not selling well, and their leaders' response is NOT to look at themselves, and ask what THEY are doing wrong. When the leaders of a business look at their poor sales figures and say, "The buyers are just too stupid to realize how much better our product is than our competitor's. Damn them!" that is a business that is delusional, worthy of no respect, and doomed to fail.

The problem with voting in the U.S. today is too many morons who don't have a fucking clue are allowed to vote (i.e. Rat). They should go back to only allowing property owners and men without felonies vote.

That is basically what Ann Coulter wants and I agree with her.

First Wife Ann wrote:Adopted in 1971 at the tail end of the Worst Generation's anti-war protests, the argument for allowing children to vote was that 18-year-olds could drink and be conscripted into the military, so they ought to be allowed to vote.

But 18-year-olds aren't allowed to drink anymore. We no longer have a draft. In fact, while repealing the 26th Amendment, we ought to add a separate right to vote for members of the military, irrespective of age.

As we have learned from ObamaCare, young people are not considered adults until age 26, at which point they are finally forced to get off their parents' health care plans. The old motto was "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote." The new motto is: "Not old enough to buy your own health insurance, not old enough to vote."

Eighteen- to 26-year-olds don't have property, spouses, children or massive tax bills. Most of them don't even have jobs because the president they felt so good about themselves for supporting wrecked the economy.

The meager tax young people paid for vehicle licensing fees on their cars threw them into such a blind rage that in 2003 they uncharacteristically voted to recall the Democratic governor of California, Gray Davis. Wait until they start making real money and realize they share a joint-checking account arrangement with the government! Literally wait. Then we'll let them vote.

And forget women voting. As Ann so clearly states here, women voting means government spending and abortion loving Presidents.

Ladies, we gave you the vote. You fucked it all up. You (as a gender) are not responsible enough to have the right to vote. You simply vote yourself goodies from government at the expense of men, Sandra Fluke style. If you can't marry a sugar daddy, you turn government into one. The real world is not Title-IX.

We should repeal both the 26th and the 19th Amendment, and repeal them NOW.

Pussy.

Yeah, I wasn't even thinking about that.

I believe that Rat made a really bad choice in life, (marrying a woman who tried to destroy him.) I think you know how that might feel Wizard. She used the power we give women with respect to law and order (that being, the benefit of the doubt.) His ex-wife could lie in court and destroy him, give him a felony conviction. If that is the case (and only Rat, and her, and God know for sure) she will have to answer to the Almighty on her judgement for that one.

Is there any accountability for officials, especially ones that make just God awful calls? I ask this because I was watching a replay of the NC State, Louisville game today and they called roughing the passer on a guy that just ran out of bounds with the QB, didn't throw him or make any contact out of bounds, but the QB threw his hands up like something happened and the ref threw the flag. Even though the replay clearly showed absolutely nothing happened they stuck with the call. They had the head of that conference that blew it (MAC I think) in the booth and when asked he said "well it looks different on the field) but basically the ref didn't call what happened he called what the QB asked for and it was pretty clear the only thing he saw was the QB throw his hands up in the air and he threw the flag.

Did he just get away with that?
