We might as well put the Constitution out of its misery.
Wednesday, June 26, 2013 — just another day in a constitutional republic of limited government by citizen representatives:
First thing in the morning, Gregory Roseman, Deputy Director of Acquisitions (whatever that means), became the second IRS official to take the Fifth Amendment, after he was questioned about awarding the largest contract in IRS history, totaling some half a billion dollars, to his close friend Braulio Castillo, who qualified under a federal “set aside” program favoring disadvantaged groups — in this case, disabled veterans. For the purposes of federal contracting, Mr. Castillo is a “disabled veteran” because he twisted his ankle during a football game at the U.S. Military Academy prep school 27 years ago. How he overcame this crippling disability to win a half-billion-dollar IRS contract is the heartwarming stuff of an inspiring Lifetime TV movie.
Later in the day, Senator John Hoeven, Republican of North Dakota and alleged author of the Corker-Hoeven amendment to the immigration bill, went on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show and, in a remarkable interview, revealed to the world that he had absolutely no idea what was in the legislation he “wrote.” Rachel Jeantel, the endearingly disastrous star witness at the George Zimmerman trial, excused her inability to comprehend the letter she’d supposedly written to Trayvon Martin’s parents on the grounds that “I don’t read cursive.” Senator Hoeven doesn’t read legislative. For example, Section 5(b)(1):

“Facts? What facts?”
It is quite wrong, though to refer to them as men. They were/are women who have impaired themselves (at least, lactationally, not to mention socially and psychologically), while taking on some masculine secondary characteristics.
Gack.
My post was unclear. I meant that Anne Heche had been married to one man, and then another, and then had a baby, etc., there being no question of her having been a woman the whole time.
You’re right about the “men” who’ve had babies: they’re no more “men” than RuPaul is a “woman.”
He said that some of the "therapies" in the past involved aversive operant behavioral conditioning, and ECT. I pointed out that those same therapies were used to try to help people who suffered from severe depression, anxiety disorders, and OCD. There was no malice involved, those were the best practices of the time, and sometimes successful. And nowadays the "best practices" for trannies include castration, female genital mutilation, and the physical obliteration of secondary sexual characteristics.
This passes for humane, enlightened and progressive. This passes for justice!
And don't forget "peace"!
The statistics on the life expectancy of homosexuals, as well as the incidence of violence, drug abuse, etc., should be sufficient for society to support anyone who doesn't want to practice those behaviors or live a "gay" lifestyle.
Hello all,
Just a quick ping that the banner on Steyn’s website says he is sitting in for Limbaugh on Friday:
Thanks for the heads up! Steyn and Walter Williams are the only good subs for Rush.
