This. So really, more like teabaggers/republicans are like cats--they make a mess of everything and expect someone else to clean it up. What's with the cat hate? At least they put it in one place. Now my bird will shit everywhere and then bite me when I try to clean up his mess. Fucking bastard bird. I don't hate cats. Sometimes mine pisses me off though. And birds are little bastards, especially cockatiels, at least all the ones I've known were. Why is that anyway? Poor duct-taped doggy. ;_;

Jesus seemed to think taxes were OK... "Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." (Matthew 22:21) My thought exactly. The poor puppy...

Is it just me, or would Benjamine Franklin be an awesome drag queen name?

Georgie, Tommy, and Benny was making a constitutional republic that had a democratic political system at a time when monarchy was the norm.
They also implemented no state religion and no restrictions of speech by the government at a time when countries went through bloody massacres as a result of Catholics to Protestant royalty exchange (and vice versa) as well as mere dissenting opinion can be rated as sedition.
They were the liberals of their time. It is just something that some people managed to forget and take for granted.

(Matthew 22:21) I am quite surprised at the large amount of fundies that interpret that as "Since everything belongs to God, nothing belongs to Caesar" Especially since I thought the ONLY way to interpret that was "Be dutiful and pay your taxes, but your heart belongs to God" Of course, you know that most of those idiots interpreting it that way pay their taxes anyways, simply because they're afraid of getting jailed. Also, poor doggie. Proof that teabaggers don't think >:[ ...And also, wasn't one of those three founding fathers the very first Democrat?

Something about a rich man finding it pretty damn hard to get to Heaven?

Man that dog is gonna have some bald spots.
BTW the one with the baby. It could mean higher taxes in the future if the government decides it wants a portion of it paid off by a certain date though.
Alternatively we could could tax at the current rate and extend the duration of the debt.
I prefer the latter.

Not like he's nothing more than an amalgamation of different messiahs at the time anyways.

...And also, wasn't one of those three founding fathers the very first Democrat? Thomas Jefferson ran as a Democratic-Republican, but not in any sense that can be connected to the modern Democratic or Republican Parties. Other, of course, than the obvious connection that the Founders have to ALL modern American politics.
