Quote:Jon Stewart admitted tonight he was full of disdain for Republicans for their strident opposition . He borrowed a phrase to describe the GOP as “cunt-punters,” saying that they are “killing my soul” and engaging in a “cynical exercise in disingenuous debate.” After his dismay at seeing the Senate rejecting almost every single gun amendment, Stewart asked, “Did these c*nt-punters… pass anything of substance?” And the Senate did: it voted to restrict publication of where gun owners live. Stewart observed that the only amendment they successfully limited was the first one. Stewart took on Republican arguments ranging from why not go after video games to Ted Cruz saying “it would put us on that path” to a national government registry. Stewart deconstructed this “cynical exercise in disingenuous debate” and summed up the GOP’s main objection as basically that “there’s really no point in making laws because criminals are just going to end up breaking them” However, while Stewart would have been okay with just a simple disagreement on gun control, he found a hypocrisy in the GOP trying to limit what can be done to protect American’s gun rights while fighting to give the government every tool possible to combat terrorism. He concluded, “We move heaven and earth to do whatever it takes to prevent weapons to fall into the hands of foreigners who would kill our citizens, because apparently we think killing our citizens is our job.”
Quote:The people in our country who've spent millions of dollars to get elected to a legislative body known as the Senate are making the argument "there's really no point in making laws, because criminals are just going to end up breaking them". So let me ask you, do your doors have locks on them? Because my guess is most criminals don't go 'oh, hey everybody...lock...let's just go." Yeah. You know, if these Senators were consistent in their fundamental assertion that evil cannot be legislated against, I would disagree with them, but I don't think I would have the same DISDAIN for them. Because it turns out, there ARE situations where the exact same people are much more willing to infringe upon Constitutional freedoms through the power of legislation.
Quote:So, to combat "terror", we started two wars, tortured people, reorganized the federal government. disallowed the air trafficking of shampoo and conditioner and okayed the robot sky killing of American citizens. Because one American life lost to terror is too many. But it seems to me we'll move heaven and earth to do whatever it takes to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of foreigners who might kill our citizens. Because apparently we think killing our citizens is OUR job.Quote: Broken Bad, indeed.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:Republican logic: If you have guns you should be able to do whatever you want. If you have a uterus, your life can't be legislated enough.
Quote:You can have my uterus when you pry it from my cold, dead... wait. That doesn't really work does it?
Quote:By the way - the same Senate is getting ready to pass a bill that allows everything you type on the internet to be sold to anyone AT&T wants in the name of "cyber-security". Note that you are paying for service on AT&T and AT&T is going to sell your identity. So, AT&T gets paid twice. Also note our great bagger republic is cheering this on.
