I get offended when people propose things that diminish my rights. If I only discussed politics with someone who was for a flat tax then it would be a short and not-so passionate conversation. Maybe if more people acted like the people who go to city council meetings and scream, the voter turnout in the US would be less anemic. And then we would have real representative democracy. For better or worse. But when people don't care enough to be passionate, you get what we have now, which I don't think you are so crazy about, so much.
Maybe you should shut the fuck up for five minutes and people might listen to your opinions.

Actually, funny you should ask, because I recently had occasion to look that up, and it's not permitted in D.C.

How weird is that?

This is crap and you know it is crap. Poltics in this country is just like any other sport. People pick a side and then will go through horrible mental contortions to rationalize and justify all actions engaged in by their side while at the same time excorciating all actions, no matter how innocuous or well-intentioned, by the other side. It becomes a win-at-any-cost scenario with all the rationality and concern about "rights of the people" as you will find in a FB discussion about whether the Yankees or Red Sox are a more worthy team. The FB is sort of the lowest common denominator of this effect. Even if a debate has its origins in a passionate discussion of the real or hyopthesised effects on the rights of the people, it quickly devolves into an orgy of buffoonery and vitriol. The politics board is a cess pool and, even worse, it is boring. But, in those respects, it at least is an accurate representation of politics as a whole in this country.

It says you enjoy the first few hours of time you spend with a shriveled cock.

All the buffoonery and vitriol in the world can't hide your obvious projection. Sad. And even worse, boring.
