		<description>Also, I have no idea what kind of idiot you&#039;d have to be to compare the downfall of the Romanian cult of personality to Iraq. It was a domestic revolution, for Chrissakes.

Playing the world-wise crank isn&#039;t going to work for you if you don&#039;t understand the shit you&#039;re flinging. All of us don&#039;t live in a world where Obama and the CPUSA sponsored the Farm Bill, Ceausescu was overthrown by the Marine Corps, and DFH-bashing is trenchant social commentary. You will be surprised to learn that our sun actually sets in the &lt;i&gt;west&lt;/i&gt;.</description>

alec said,

Tell us, M. Howell, what is so terrible about the Farm Bill.

Oh look, another midget steps up. Read the fucking links dumbass.&lt;/i&gt;

See, the point here isn&#039;t proving that I know what&#039;s wrong with the Farm Bill. I could tell you that. The point is, perhaps similar to if you had made a glib comparison to appeasement without actually knowing who Chamberlain was, to see if you can actually explain what you&#039;re gibbering about.

I don&#039;t think you do.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I really love how the end game in every wingnut conquest wet dream is ” and then the people rise up and revolt against its rulers and we are greeted as liberators&lt;/i&gt;

Gibbon said that it happened in several places in North Africa, which helps to explain how the Muslim armies were able to conquer it so quickly.  The rich were tired of paying taxes to the Romans, the poor were tired of being conscripted into armies and being told what to do with their dingles, and the clergy were mostly adherents of the Donatist heresy.  The Donatists were like the Hillary supporters of their day - when they lost in the general councils of the church, they said fuck it, let the Muslims win.  (Actually it may have been that they preferred paying a tax to being tortured and executed.)</description>

Has that ever happened in real life, I mean outside of Honor Harrington books?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Galactic D.

It has probably happened somewhere, sometime. But it&#039;s got to be rare as hen&#039;s teeth. The colonialist clusterfuck has got to be 100 times more common.

The fact that they keep repeating that script regardless of its lack of reality suggests to me: 

one that they have some serious, festering psychological issues, 

two that there probably are some smart, evil people who keep feeding them that line.

The smart, evil people probably don&#039;t believe it either, but find the effect useful.</description>

The farm bill!

Good gosh, what a horror!

The farm bill!

Oh dear, how will we recover!

The farm bill!

I know t Winslow Howell lied about the context in which it was so horrible before, and then when revealed to be a dickless liar obsessed with polar bear suits, chose instead to veer his goal posts in a whole new direction because nobody who was in the presidential race voted for it at all!

BUT THE FARM BILL IS SO IMPORTANT!

Know why? Because t Winslow Howell says it is, and he’d never steer us wrong. He may be a lair, but if he steered us wrong about its importance, he’d be revealed as a liar *again*

Which is just silly and ludicrous.

SO THE FARM BILL.

Oh, the horror.&lt;/i&gt;

Dude. You need to relax. You need to get out of your mom&#039;s basement and see the world, brush the tofu crumbs off your cheeks and get out there son.

<p>I know t Winslow Howell lied about the context in which it was so horrible before, and then when revealed to be a dickless liar obsessed with polar bear suits, chose instead to veer his goal posts in a whole new direction because nobody who was in the presidential race voted for it at all!</p>
<p>BUT THE FARM BILL IS SO IMPORTANT!</p>
<p>Know why? Because t Winslow Howell says it is, and he’d never steer us wrong. He may be a lair, but if he steered us wrong about its importance, he’d be revealed as a liar *again*</p>
<p>Which is just silly and ludicrous.</p>
<p>SO THE FARM BILL.</p>
<p>Oh, the horror.</i></p>
<p>Dude. You need to relax. You need to get out of your mom&#8217;s basement and see the world, brush the tofu crumbs off your cheeks and get out there son.<br />
