Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

T R E 4 5 O N

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

The revolution will be supervised.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Trump should be leading, not lying.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

    I’m a little confused as to what makes these bloggers RINOs. All the links that I checked out seem very much mainstream conservative. Let’s see, there were posts about how wonderful semi-automatic weapons are, how the MSM are idiots, how Liberals (capital L) are concerned with the terrorists’ feelings. One post purported to be about social freedom and privacy, then proceeded to lambast the ACLU and defend the Patriot Act.
    What’s the definition of a RINO, these days, anyway? Someone who doesn’t think gays are going to burn in hell, or at least the ninth circle therein? Someone who doesn’t come right out and recommend the internment of liberals? As near as I can tell, this is the only true RINO/moderate conservative blog going. Please disabuse me of this notion if I’m wrong…

    RINO’s simply don’t understand why the left continues to waste its energies attacking Bush when it could otherwise engage with the real enemy at hand.

    I wasn’t aware that RINOs stood for one-party leader cults.

    If Karl Rove released the info – good for him. If he didn’t, well then I hope everyone apologizes.

    So now ‘RINO’ rhymes with ‘wingnut.’

    There was some mumbling about the second amendment and fiscal responsibility and how the folks in Yemen can’t do anything about any fiscal irresponsibility of their government. That puts them ahead of folks here in America who have their semi-automatics and vote for the worst borrow and spend administration in history.

    I don’t get it. At least liberals recognize that there are contradictions in life. These guys contradict themselves in the same sentence and don’t seem to notice.

    And, again, if the “feelings” of terrorists means finding out their motivation instead of just yammering about evil and insanity, yeah, human intelligence is important in fighting a war. Heck, any intelligence.

    I notice that it is asserted that we are involved in a fight for the “sole” of civilization.

    Is there another fishing rights problem that I haven’t heard about?

    I’d settle for the Ninth Circuit therein ;)
