That reminds me of a really horrible quote I saw on a diary site (I think it was Teen Open Diary) a long time ago. The person was addressing the issue of children being killed in Afghanistan, and basically said that, while it was sad that they 'had' to die, some of them might have grown up to become terrorists and harm American citizens. The person who wrote it was of high school age, but still, I was also a teen at the time and I was more-than-capable of seeing why that kind of logic is all kinds of fucked up. It's been nearly a decade since I saw that, and it still pisses me off. I'd submit it to the front page, but the site it was posted on has long since been shut down, so I have no way to provide a source. Probably for stupid shit like your example

Also, (back on the subject of protesters) I found this: Okay, I'm shitty at math, but I know that amount has to be over six hundred dollars. Who spends that amount of money for a protest when they could have just stuck that sign in their front yard? Some more: If you like to see more, you can find them here: 912dc.dhwritings.com/

Why do I get the feeling these numbers haven't been adjusted for inflation (assuming they're accurate).

Of course, our lives were so much better when we had fourteen-hour workdays and no minimum wage or workplace safety!

Sure, if you think having a stable, relatively safe society and not having to work in a sweat shop for pennies a day is ruining your life. Taxes fund regulations and regulations mean minimum wage laws, which in turn means you make more money, even with the income tax deductions.
Also it's interesting how fundies and hard-core conservatives only seem to consider something a right if they personally benefit from it.

Silly people, they meant "constipation"! Good red-blooded Americans don't eat no fibers!

This one only seems stupid thanks to the improper spelling of 'than'. If it's about the gay marriage thing anyhow. The 2008 elections in CA contained a bill that would require livestock to be allowed to roam freely, instead of being in cages. This bill passed alongside Prop 8, which banned same sex marriage.
