Descent is the highest form of patriotic.

Here's the big difference, you deliberately clueless motherfuckers, between Bush fils's Town Hall Meetings and Obama's Town Hall Meetings:

Bush banned people and cancelled meetings which were not to his hand-picked specifications and engaged in all kinds of other media fuckery.

Obama and other pols out there on the Town Hall circuit are actually getting the opportunity to hear - and thus publicly air - other sides of the issues. Even when they're batshit fucking insane.

Yarrr.

Okay, Rush. If you didn't call troops who are vocal against the war "phony soldiers," then Kerry didn't call the men overseas stupid. I'd be willing to go with "taken out of context" even for a bloviating shitbag like you, if you didn't make your CAREER out of taking other people's words out of context.

I wish I could grow a scrotum so I could deny you the opportunity to lick it.

Aww, poor toasty politicians.

You know, Congress, the Legislative branch is not an elementary school classroom. I understand that most of you have all the emotional maturity of Flick* in "A Christmas Story," but it really, really isn't. The President isn't your teacher. He's not in authority over y'all - or at least, no more than Y'ALL are over HIM.

In elementary school, the teacher says, "Finish your classwork or you don't get to go out for recess," and the kids whine and groan and finish... because what kid wants to miss recess?

In the LEGISLATURE, the President says, "Pass these bills or you can't leave," and the kids whine and groan and... DO THEIR FUCKING JOBS BY VETTING EVERYTHING AND DEMANDING THEIR CONSTITUTIONALLY EQUAL SAY IN WHAT GETS PASSED. What they do NOT do is say "fuck it" and hammer everything through so they can start their vacations on time.

You know WHY? Because they're supposedly FUCKING GROWNUPS, that's why.

* Kid's far more honest than y'all ... he went on to do porn. You know what you're getting with porn, by god.
