- Why isn't it your job to do something? The conservatives certainly consider it the rank and file's job to get involved in changing the system to the way they want it to be; that's part of why they're having such an outsized impact.
  
  the younger population is disgusted by all the crusty old white men in the government, so they don't vote. i know, because i work at a community college. yet another consequence of deliberately hobbling public education while blaming all the world's ills on abortions, mexicans, gays, women, and black people

  ps both sides
Hahahahahahaaaaaaa get me off this ride if anyone in a blue state is hiring please let me know
How to give land more votes than people. Not long before election results are measured in number of acres.

Other motions proposed included a call to "abolish abortion by immediately securing the right to life and equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization."
Do my preborn children count towards car passengers in the HOV lanes? Can I claim every fertilized egg as a dependent on my state tax forms?
"Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto. ... supporters of the Texas Nationalist Movement, which wants the Lone Star State to become an independent country, were photographed holding signs which read TEXIT NOW!"
