I’m confused about the new common-sense conservative values these days.
Are we supposed to support this, or oppose it? Used to be we’d laugh at this and oppose it vigorously, but in the post-Palin conservative world, I’m not sure anymore.

So, if you’ve got a classic Hot Rod, and you want it to start easily, you’ll have to “developmentally challenge” your ignition?

In the post-Palin world, it is socially unacceptable - not illegal, but socially unacceptable - to call a Down’s Syndrome child “f**king retarded”.
I think most of us are OK, and have always been OK with this restriction on our freedoms.

Friends of the intellectually disabled are pushing to ban the word "retard" in Massachusetts. Oh, my.
"Retard" is a verb. It means to slow down or ease back. For example, one can "retard" the throttle setting on an engine.
Yes, it has its insulting use as a noun, but trying to BAN a WORD is as self-insulting as it is unconstitutional.

While they are at it, they can try to repeal the 1st Amendment.

I was always taught that the word “retard” was inserted into our state motto right around 1969.
To: agere_contra
Actually Rahm called liberal senators “F**king retarded”. That is what the complaint was about.
