talkpoliticsYep, I'm speaking of a whole chunk of the political establishment, and beyond.
GOP Tells Obama to Ignore Congress One Day After Suing Him for Ignoring Congress
"On Wednesday, House Republicans sued President Obama for acting on his own without approval from Congress. On Thursday, House Republicans told President Obama he should act on his own to fix the border crisis."
Really, what better proof that Boehner and his cohorts are a heap of lying pieces of shit with no moral standards of their own? My hypocrite-meter has just exploded.
Are those guys demented, or so out of touch, or just they don't give a flying bird's dropping about how they're being perceived by the public any more? And why would they care, since they keep getting elected into Conress anyway.
Meanwhile, here are some pieces of food for thought for the teahadist segment of the audience.
Detention: No Place for Children or Families
On the Border, Who Gets to Be a Refugee?
Convention relating to the Status of Refugees
Where did the meme of helping thy neighbor suddenly go? Didn't Jesus say to not do to others what you wouldn't want to be done to you? Do international human rights conventions count for anything to those people, or is the jingoist "don't meddle in our domestic stuff" really trump the "we're the greatest nation on Earth, paragon of freedom" meme at this point, no matter what?
And as a dessert to this pile of stinking carrion, there's this...
The KKK Wants a ‘Shoot to Kill’ Policy to Include Migrant Children
Btw, Robert Jones, "KKK Imperial Wizard"? WTF!?
That is the Imperial Wizard that's going to save the superior race from dangerous Guatemalan children who need to be shot to get rid of? -->
So much with the "nation of builders", Boehner.

There are already frameworks in place for this sort of thing, they're simply being bypassed because the Democrats want cheap votes and their bank-rollers want cheap labor.
Says the one who's self-admittedly using fallacies just for the sake of arguing. I see. All right then.
It's not a fallacy, see: "for the sake of argument (http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/for+the+sake+of+argument)"

Date: 6/8/14 14:31 (UTC)Don't know about easy votes, if we're to go down the tit for tat lane, we could also mention voter disenfranchisement in states that are crucial election-wise - a practice that the GOP has even openly admitted at times having resorted to.
Sorry, talking about talking is not really my kinda thing.
