On July 4th NPR tweeted out the entire Declaration of Independence. Trump supporters took it as an attack on their president.





This goes on for tweet after tweet until the entire Declaration of Independence has been shared, which is something that NPR has been doing, in one form or another, for the last 29 years.

But those 29 years were before there was a Donald Trump in the White House.

When his supporters saw what NPR was doing they were outraged. 



In the voice of Jeff Foxworthy:

"If'n you think that the tweeting of the Declaration of Independence is propaganda aimed at removing your president from office, well then you might be a moronic Trump supporter."

 Keep in mind folks these idiots are actually allowed to vote.

Sarah Palin doubles down on the stupidity of Brexit by suggesting that America should now leave the UN.

I know stuff just ask me.
Courtesy of the Margaret Fractured's Facebook page: 

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another... (Are we plagiarizing the Declaration of Independence? Naughty, naughty.)

The UK knew - it was that time. And now is that time in the USA. 

The Brexit referendum is akin to our own Declaration of Independence. (That is not just like comparing apples to oranges, that is comparing apples to bowling balls.) May that refreshed spirit of sovereignty spread over the pond to America's shores! (Wait, since when is America not a sovereign nation?)

Congratulations, smart Brits. Good on you for ignoring all the fear mongering from special interest globalists who tend to aim for that apocalyptic One World Government that dissolves a nation's self-determination and sovereignty... the EU being a One World Government mini-me. (Apocalyptic One World Government? Well somebody has been spending time over at World Net Daily and Infowars now haven't they?)

America can learn an encouraging lesson from this. 

It is time to dissolve political bands that connect us to agendas not in our best interest. May UN shackles be next on the chopping block. 

- Sarah Palin

"Shackles on the chopping block?"  Nice imagery there moron.

It is not surprising that Palin is all giddy and damp panties over this Brexit thing, after all it is driven by the same xenophobia and white outrage that is behind the Donald Trump campaign.

Isolationism, religious intolerance, fear mongering, in many ways Brexit is a look into the crystal ball predicting what could happen in this country if we allow Donald Trump to win the White House.

And it is yet another reminder of why it is more important than ever for Democrats to turn out in historic numbers to keep that from ever happening.

If you are thinking of sitting this one out because things did not go your way, you better think again.

Well this sucks.

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

In a major victory for gun rights advocates, a federal appeals court on Thursday sided with a broad coalition of gun owners, businesses and organizations that challenged the constitutionality of a Maryland ban on assault weapons and other laws aimed at curbing gun violence. 

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit said the state's prohibition on what the court called "the vast majority of semi-automatic rifles commonly kept by several million American citizens" amounted to a violation of their rights under the Constitution. 

"In our view, Maryland law implicates the core protection of the Second Amendment -- the right of law-abiding responsible citizens to use arms in defense of hearth and home," Chief Judge William Traxler wrote in the divided ruling. 

Provisions that outlaw these firearms, Traxler wrote, "substantially burden this fundamental right."

Gee I hate to disagree with the U.S. Court of Appeals, but I am pretty confident that when the original 2nd Amendment was drafted the authors had NO idea that something like semi-automatic rifles was waiting down the road.

The second line of the Declaration of Independence states that our unalienable rights include "Life,. Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."

Well I have to say that a bunch of microscopically hung ammosexuals running around with semi-automatic weapons negatively impacts at least two, if not all three of those.

Seriously how many classrooms full of young children, moviegoers in their theater seats, or mall shoppers have to be slaughtered before we pull our heads out of our asses?

Beer company in hot water for omitting mention of God while using quotes from Declaration of Independence. Turns out they were following the guidelines.

Courtesy of ABC News: 

In the ad, which has an Independence Day theme, an actor says, “All men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The Declaration of Independence states ”…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” 

The ad has aired for about three weeks focusing on the July Fourth holiday, but the company is still receiving angry comments posted on its Facebook page. 

“I guess I should not be surprised that a company, interested only in profit, would rewrite American history for commercial gain,” wrote one Facebook user on Samuel Adams’ Facebook page. “However, abusers of history will no longer receive any of my money to support their censorsed [sic] advertising campaigns.” 

In a statement, the Boston Beer Company says it was just trying to follow a code implemented by the trade group, The Beer Institute, which is based in Washington, D.C., and represents 2,800 breweries. 

“We adhere to an advertising code, established by the Beer Institute – a beer industry trade organization - that states, ‘Beer advertising and marketing materials should not include religion or religious themes’,” according to a statement provided by a Boston Beer Company spokeswoman. “We agree with that, and we follow these guidelines and approach our marketing with the utmost responsibility.”

Yeah you know, believe it or not, SOME beer drinkers don't really want mentions of God during their beer commercials. Sort of takes the fun out of over imbibing don't ya know.

The company was following the advertising guidelines so fuck them for doing so, right?

I mean does anybody really think that the forefathers would give a rat's ass that a beer company chose only a part of the Declaration of Independence for their commercial? Hardly. After all how many times does a beer company even mention the document?

No the only people who would even notice something like this are the brittle, overly defensive idiots who think that religion should be inserted into every nook and cranny of our country. Which is NOT what the Founders intended.

Besides how much damage to beer sales do these idiots really think they can do by throwing a fit over this? After all their queen already told college students not to drink this beer.
