Gomer and the Gomerette
And once again, Uncle Sugar, the poor man’s Elmer Gantry, shows us why he is not fit for public office:
“The question comes do we have civil disobedience or do we have biblical disobedience? And for many of us civil disobedience, when we believe civil government is acting outside nature and nature’s god, outside of the bounds of the law, outside of the bounds of the Constitution, we believe it’s the right and moral thing to do. Now yes I understand that’s a very controversial thing to say. But Todd, what if no one had acted in disobedience to the Dred Scott decision of 1857? What if the entire country had capitulated to judicial tyranny and we just said that because the Supreme Court said in 1857 said that a black person wasn’t fully human? Suppose we had accepted that, suppose Abraham Lincoln, our president, had accepted that, would that have been the right course of action?”
But what if the moon were made of cheese, or if you were Batman?
Being pedantic now: The distinctly Southern-stacked Supreme Court ruled that property could not be confiscated without due process. Dred Scott was a property rights case, slaves were property and not citizens and never could be until the Constitution was amended.
If the definitely conservative-stacked Supreme Court rules in favor of marriage equality this week, it will not be about property rights, Huck. This argument is really beneath you, hard as it is to believe at this point anything is beneath you.

Is that really the missus? I thought it was an Eric Idle-in-drag photoshop.

Now don’t be a hater, Susan. Eric Idle is much more stylish.

Now that you mention it, I do see a resemblance. And I can see the Huckster joshing with Sergeant Carter.

I saw him in a rather nice ladies’ lavender (?) suit with a regrettable fake fur collar on google.

What if you get caught between the Moon and New York City?
What if God were one of us?
What if I was Romeo in black jeans?

Did this asshole ever read the Bible? No only does the Bible advocate slavery, but it instructs us in how to obtain them and punish them.
