An act of heroism in someone so young.
I would have done the exact same thing. -

I'd put my life savings on all three of them watching kick-ass before becoming heroes.

wth happened, I watched you be banned - new accounted - banned again - and returning like nothing's happened… ????
Seeking infinity, with all my affinities.
Finding truth, like a falling fruit, my ultimate finality.
Inside my being, the outside, all things; the finite leads the way.

Glad I'm even recognised out of the thousands of posters here to be honest. Kind of makes me think I did something vaguely right or memorable at some point.

Michelle Bachman thinking of running for president. The ultimate nightmare if THAT came true.

Worse than Sarah Palin? I can't think of anything worse than that.

Isn't Bachman the one who banned Aladdin for promoting witchcraft.

Actually yes, Bachman is far far far worse than Palin.
Palin is just kind of goofy.
Bachmann is genuinely scary.

Oh jesus christ. This is the same one?

Where, how, why and how come no one came in and put a patriot missile through his ass ?

Bachmann is a total dumbass.
For one example, she went to New Hampshire to speak to a group there in preparation for a presidential run and told a crowd of conservatives that “You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord.”
Other "gems" include:
''I think there is a point where you say enough is enough to government intrusion. …Does the federal government really need to know our phone numbers?''
"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas."
''Normalization through desensitization. Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of 'The Lion King' for instance, and a teacher might say, 'Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?' The message is: I'm better at what I do, because I'm gay.'' ''
"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."
I can't really see her being a serious candidate as a hefty chunk of her own party's power structure hate her because of things like that rambling "Tea Party Response" to the State of the Union. They also snubbed her after the election when it came time to appoint committee leaders.
I can see her winning some early primaries and a caucus or two from the small states because those tend to be dominated by the dumbest and craziest members of either party, but it's hard to believe that the Republican Party would be so suicidal on the national level to sign on with as crazy of a candidate as Bachmann.
Complicating things since 2009.

She also sponsered a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and all legal equivalents.

Typical big government trying to infringe on states rights of having gay marriage.
Michelle "Lenin" Bachmann over here. -
Obama vs. Bachman debate (assuming she runs and wins the Republican vote).
A must see.

It's great.
Because I remember no single religious controversy originating from any religious group.

I debated about giving this its own thread, but I'm not in the mood to hear people whine, so it goes here for now…
Anybody on here even slightly smart enough to crack a cipher this complicated.
I've managed to figure some ciphers in my day, but I can't even begin to get close to having anything solid on this.

Did they try the secret decoder ring.

The 2012 GOP nomination is a poker game where the chips are good old fashioned crazy.
Ante up, Newt.
Choice quotes:
@Newt:
"by the time they're my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American."
"Because nobody loves secular atheism like radical Islamists.

Probably.
I wouldn't be surprised if they sacrificed a goat to Beelzebub for help and even he was stumped.

…was the decoder ring from a name-brand cereal box. The ones from the crappy generics from the dollar store are pretty crappy, you know.

From what I understand, they used the Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, Cap'n Crunch, and Fruit Loop decoder rings.
Rumour has it that they also attempted to use the sacred Ovaltine decoder ring, and even that had no effect.
-

Madlibs time!
And so those dirty Belgians will enact the foundations of Marxism on the youth culture resulting in increased taxes, which will make us weak against Al-Qaeda causing us to fall to radical Judaism.

Really, is there any quote that encapsulates the paranoid idiocy that is Newt and his ilk more perfectly?

Seriously, that is classic Ubiq. LOL!

You know what's the funniest thing about people like him who jack off to the Ten fucking Commandments? The commandments that are labeled "the ten" in the Bible are completely fucking different.

Excuse me ?

Sometimes living in America feels like living on the biggest tastiest cake in the world….
...that has a serious fucking mold problem.
I just wish I had a knife to cut all that moldy parts off, because the rest is so delicious.

@No:
Excuse me ?
There are actually three different instances in the Bible which have three different lists of the Ten Commandments, Exodus 20, Exodus 34 and Deuteronomy 5. There's no such thing as a standard version, and the sets of commandment are also more long-winded than you would find on the side of a courthouse. Hence, completely different.

@JERK:

I could see Moore making it to the early primaries just on name recognition and the fact that he's a darling of the evangelicals. That's clearly who a lot of these people forming exploratory committees are playing to, but that's the problem for him as well.
I doubt he'll have much crossover appeal to the other wings of the party though and people supporting him early will start throwing money to another candidate.

we're gonna have a federal election again in Canada here. don't get me wrong. I'm gonna go and vote, but I hate politics. goes over my head. -_-.
-
The federal election's actually super exciting, my first time voting :)
Unfortunately, it seems Harper is just gonna take power again. -
I don't see why green party can't be in the debate. They have a point; Bloc Quebecois gets to be in it, and they're only there to represent Quebec. Green Party at least has all of Canada in it's interest.

Slowly but surely, Africa approaches the end of the tunnel.

Still such a shame that yet another African election had to fall into that old crap…
I have faith in nearly every part of Africa to pull together in the next 50 years, but West Africa is just.... goddamn.
