Never Forget
if bible thumper republicans could have their way, all gay people would be chemically castrated.
as opposed to the regular republicans who will want to castrate all poor people
Yes, and what is the problem with forced sterilization? Some people will not contribute to society in any positive fashion. They will breed children who will become a burden on society as we continue to waste tax dollars supporting the lazy and inept. There are winners and losers in life. If you drew the short stick, sucks to be you kid.
5 = Latham partner who has finally found a second solution to his associate overcapacity problems
3 - Except for the self-hating closeted gay Republicans, right? They can keep on keeping on each other is my guess.
We really could have stopped after the first comment.
Never forget the day millions of civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan attacked the Twin Towers thereby justifying endless bombing campaigns to kill them.
LIBERALS are liberals as a result of being entirely uninformed. It's Obama's science czar who has proposed putting CHEMICALS in the public water system to STERILIZE the entire country. This is a fact. Noting that "no such sterilant exists today," Obama's science czar also recommended the following alternative:
"Of course, a government might require only implantation of the contraceptive capsule, leaving its removal to the individual's discretion but requiring reimplantation after childbirth. Since having a child would require positive action (removal of the capsule), many more births would be prevented than in the reverse situation."
And there's MORE: Obama's science czar said the gov't can "insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption" and "require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions."
Obama's science czar supports "coercive," "involuntary fertility control," including "a program of sterilizing women after their second or third child," which doctors would be expected to do right after a woman gives birth.
Obama's science czar lamented that, "Unfortunately, such a program is not practical for most less developed countries," where doctors are not often present when a woman is in labor.
But #3 and #4 are so damn ignorant (i.e. liberals) that they believe "republicans want to castrate all poor people."
And then they support Obama. Liberals don't understand that you need BIG GOV'T to orchestrate horrible things on the populace. Conservatives want small gov't. THE ONLY way you get to fascism is via liberal gov't. Obama is moving in that direction.
What happened on 2/27/09 that I shouldn't forget?
2/27/09 represents the date on which it became clear Obama's would be a failed presidency.
Okay, I'll bite -- why did it become clear on 2/27/09 that Obama's would be a failed presidency?
Never forget, New York has always been and will always be an awesome city.
-Bullsh**. Who the fu^k wants to spend $100K extra to live in a city where (s)he can do anything at 3 a.m. but never actually take advantage of the opportinity once (s)he is married? Pull your head out of your as* slowly and keep your hands up as you walk away from the scene.
What a horrible thread of comments.
why is the establishment so focused on gay rights? They are a very small and fairly affluent part of western society.
Nice to see Brown has apologized to Turing. Turing was a huge part of our defeat of the Nazis during WWII, and as his reward he was chemically castrated for being gay. He eventually committed suicide by eating an arsenic-laced apple.
Way to go, homophobia.
nice to see the liberals displaying their characteristic civility -- can you please lecture us now about how we should be civil in our dissent to the president's insane policies?
Seriously, 18. "Big government" sucks. Much better to have little or no regulation. That always works out great. See, e.g., Economic Collapse of 2008-09.
"I put a bomb in your building, bitch." -- This is how the tolerant liberals responded to the anti-tax protest yesterday--by calling in a bomb threat to one of the organizing groups.
But the Obama-worshiping media is pretty much silent, of course.

You people think that the historical significance of Alan Turing, the father of computer science, was a couple of years he spent breaking codes? Bohemians!
Plus, the erroneous comma in the sentence about him is totally gay.
19 -- that's crazy talk. anyone with half a brain realizes that the economic collapse was a government failure, not a market failure. you can thank your hero barney frank for his role in it. we are seeing the effects of government policy aimed at providing access to housing regardless of an ability to afford it. and don't leave the fed out of it either. this NEVER would have happened in a smaller government. you've obviously been reading way too much in the NYT.
Class comments, as always, Dave, Elie and Kash.
