1. +1, hilarious n/t

[RockaFowler]

2. He looks so proud

His mother must be proud as well.

What's with the upside down flag??

[HughBeaumont]

Signal of distress.

Flying the American flag upside down is traditionally considered a sign of distress, as it is with all national flags. The signal is one that was used primarily in past centuries (pre-1900s), on the high seas by military and merchant marine vessels alike. While the U.S. Flag Code does permit flying the flag with the union down, it specifies only "...as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."

[Seneca]

13. Don't talk about his girlfriend that way!

Flying the flag upside down is a universally recognized symbol of distress.

3. I bet his neck is as red as his shirt.

[asdjrocky]

4. Doofus.

I'm never quite certain of the spelling of that.

[Warpy]

5. Well, he's got the right idea for Congress

Make 'em live on minimum wage for a while. That's the only way they'll get it.

[patrice]

10. only for a while?

[Warpy]

22. If you want to attract good people

who know the law and its limits and how to write new law, the job of Congress, then you're going to have to pay them adequately.

So yeah, it would be only temporary, until they either got the point or were replaced by new representation who'd already gotten the point.

[patrice]

23. Some people do work for love, not for money, but, yes, they are an extreme minority. nt

[unblock]

17. sadly, the only thing they'll get on minimum wage is a bucketload of bribes.

i'm in the opposite camp. the only way WE, THE PEOPLE will own the congresscritters is if WE, THE PEOPLE pay them a ton of money, enough so they can easily say no to bribes.

in fact, if we had real, generous public campaign financing and serious pay, then at least someone who earns minimum wage would have a shot at becoming a congresscritter in the first place. right now, that chance is nil. of course, once there, washington would likely make them forget their roots, but what else is new.

[Warpy]

21. Paying them well hasn't stopped the bribery

Calling it "campaign contributions" doesn't sanitize it much, either.

[unblock]

32. they're not paid nearly "well" enough considering the power of the position

they deal with so much money all around them and most of them can make far more in the private sector. imho, they need to be paid enough so that they don't feel any financial pressure from people trying to influence their votes and actions.

i will say that serious public campaign financing is more important than higher pay (and stronger anti-bribery laws -- i agree that most major campaign contributions are thinly disguised bribes) though ultimately both are important if we want congresscritters to represent US instead of representing (often transient) corporate interests in our districts and states.

[Blue_Tires]

26. so many of them are multi-millionaires to begin with...

i don't know what difference it would make...

[YOY]

6. Mispelled Amtrak....fool.

n.t.

[pinboy3niner]

15. Misspelled "Danial Hannon," too

He means Daniel Hannan, British Conservative politician and Member of the European Parliament, who's been a guest on Faux shows--including Hannity, Beck and Cavuto.

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Got "Barnie" wrong too . . . .

If they knew how to turn on a computer, they could use Spell Check.

[Odin2005]

47. and "utuble" for "You-Tube"!

[Brewman_Jax]

7. You can't make this up!

They didn't have a problem with the last guy in the White House who took their money and curtailed their rights--oh, yeah, he looked like them, too. I guess that's alright with them. :silly:

Truly, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. :freak:

[louis-t]

18. A mind is a terrible thing to not have.

[Bitwit1234]

8. In a way this is funny

it just goes to show the type of mentality people in this country have. Fox, Rush and the rest of the right wing spewers of hate have continually poisoned the mind of a lot of people who ought to know better.

[patrice]

9. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.Would love to talk to this guy about his views

on Race.

[pinboy3niner]

33. Notice that the sign that brings up race...

...is the one to which he gives pride of place. A discussion with him about race likely would be all too predictable.

[patrice]

36. I'd like to try anyway. I find this sort of thing fascinating, but I have to admit it's also so very

profoundly crazy that it is also profoundly dangerous.

[yellowcanine]

11. He needs to quit making signs and paint his porch deck and steps.

Actually it looks as if he could use a new porch deck and steps. Crappy landscaping also.

[City Lights]

12. One for the ages...

:rofl: :dunce:

[HughBeaumont]

14. "How many forests died for trillion you . . ."

Uh, if we're talking green-stacks, which really isn't how government spending is transacted, that would be approximately ZERO, idiot. "Paper money" is made of textile fiber. Gaaaaah.

[obxhead]

37. How many forests died....

More for his signs than for a single printed dollar.

:fistbump: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

41. How many smart swimmers got deflected by the buck-toothed Hank Jr. sperm that made it?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I mean, it looks like these signs are half-thoughts, but he decided to just leave them as is. Classic.

[sufrommich]

19. Too funny. Could you imagine having to live next door to

this nut?

[Pryderi]

20. Who and where is this?

[marmar]

42. Don't know.....It's from the Morons With Signs blog

nt

[Critters2]

24. Who's "Barnie"? nt

[pinboy3niner]

28. Barney Franks, I assume. nt

[JHB]

30. Frank?

Or I suppose that should be "Frnack"

[Critters2]

44. Oh, THAT Barnie! nt

[Urban Prairie]

25. A Teabagger who is also a tree-hugger?

I thought that they didn't believe that humans can negatively affect the environment.

Who is "hiel black hitler" btw?

[JHB]

27. Note to Teabaggers:

If you feel that strongly about it, how about you go to the trouble of checking your goddamn spelling.

Are you proud to look like you do a half-assed job of everything?

[KansDem]

38. They don't have "spell check" on their magic markers...nt

[yowzayowzayowza]

29. We're cummin after yer black magic markers next.

:rofl:

[spanone]

31. good little racist.....fuck him and his tee shirt

[boobooday]

34. The American dream

You're lookin' at it. Free to have a little house, wave a flag, and be as flamingly ignorant as you can be. Yeehaw.

[patrice]

39. 1+~ Read those teabags and weep, folks!

[Canuckistanian]

35. Heh

[KonaKane]

40. The Stupid is strong with this one, it is.

[Blue Owl]

43. All puffed up and full of shit

n/t

[RagAss]

45. HAHHAHAHAHA ! It's Medication Time for Cretins !

[eppur_se_muova]

46. "Hiel" ? They're misspelling in two languages now?

To steal a word from Jim Hightower, they're "bi-ignorant".
