I don't want a war. I don't want to support a bellicose party.

Or a pro-surveillance state party.

Or a party that puts wealth before principles.

But, hey, at least they're not republicans! Because only wedge social issues matter.

Actually they have a humorless "satire" site called The Peoples Cube, which sells winning apparel like this

So you know they're gonna be hilarious.

Somewhere there's a modelling agency that specializes in providing people who look like total douches.

Obama's Reptiloid Master: Cuchulane: NewsMax - the conservative Onion without the humor.

Oh it has conservative humor. Like this:

What did one liberal say to the other liberal?

"Say, Jerome! It's been a hard day of forcibly converting Christian schoolchildren to the homosatanist agenda! What say we stop by a marihuana dispensary on our way to the abortion clinic for our nightly shift killing white babies for Allah?"


Ha! As if a liberal is going to have a day job, much less a night job. They'd be Conservatives as soon as they saw their first paychecks.

regindyn: imontheinternet: Gotta say, if the president told me that he's cutting my raise in half, and then said he's sending me to Syria to provide air support for al Qaeda, I'd be pretty pissed off right now.

Military personnel are professionals who will do their jobs regardless, but I'd bet morale isn't exactly at an all time high right now.

I'm not concerned about the morale of people who voluntarily signed up to murder other people.

log_jammin: Dimensio: CPT Ethanolic: Cutting military pay raises in half???  OMG, you mean I might get $20 more/month vs $40?  How will I live?

A supposed lack of significant negative impact does not justify violation of federal law. However, because the report is from Newsmax, the allegation of a violation of law is dubious at best; in fact, the claim of a cut in military pay raises is itself dubious until confirmed by an outside source.

from the end of the article...

"The House passed a bill in July authorizing the 1.8 percent raise, but the Senate has set the raise at 1 percent as recommended by Obama."

there is no violation of the law. just the legislative process.


As Mr. Obama is not a legitimate President, due to not being a "natural-born" United States citizen, any recommendation that he makes cannot be used for setting military pay rates, and therefore the change in pay raises is illegal. Study it out.

If I learned anything from douchebags recently, it was when we were talking about tying cost of living increases for social security to Chained CPI. What I learned was that a reduced increase is not the same as a pay cut. So just be glad you're getting an increase. Is that how it works here too?
