2. Treason?

What a fucking idiot. I support the First Amendment and the right of dumbasses to shoot their mouths off. However, when the Governor of a state implies that his state should secede that crosses the line. Over what by the way? I missed the real reason for all this stupidity - or maybe I didn't. Are people in the South so backwards and prejudiced that they can't support our President? Are they really as ignorant as they appear?

So Obama wants to return the tax levels to the same rates as when Clinton was President. THAT is what all of you are angry about? You mean the top one percent of the wealthiest people will have to pay more taxes? Wow, I'm not going to cry about that.

4. They've adopted empty rhetoric and catchphrases as holy gospel

Try to get a Republican to define "big government". Really, go ahead. Have them lay out exactly what htye mean. They can't. They have no definition, just a catchphrase that's supposed to sound ominous.

5. Exactly. Ask them to define "socialism" and they think its....

......communisism. Proof that we need to do something different in our education system.

[Chulanowa]

7. And they define "communism" as "big government"

Basically they rely on the educated populace to do all their work for them, by throwing out slogans and catchphrases and letting the educated put it all together.

If, tomorrow, the Democrats stood up, embraced socialism, and laid the method out nice and plain to the American people... there would no longer BE a Republican party. But instead we let them frame and define the arguments. it's criminal

3. WTF?!?

Ok, whats going on here?...
Pirate attacks, tea parties and now states wanting to secede?

I apparently didn't realize that for the entire month of April, the United States was going to be wearing it's "Throwback Jersey's".

6. April Fools is being extended this year -- to last the whole month.

The piracy was not a joke, but quite unbelievable.
