[napkinz]

18. good one! I'd like to say this to them ---->

[Beearewhyain]

20. Python! Now you are hitting my soft spot

I think this has been posted around here before but I think it is most applicable to the current atmosphere. Just replace "Romans" with "Federal Government" and you have a Bagger meeting.

[napkinz]

73. GOP groupthink

[Erose999]

11. These men are cowards, Donny.

"Space radiation from Venus", in this case, is not another way of saying "cooties", but represents money from Kochs and other similarly interested parties. They keep bringing the dead back to life, generating mindlessly destructive converts. If I could bring myself to accept brain-eating zombies (they're rubbish! Bah!), that would fit nicely into this clumsy effort at metaphor.

Here's hoping I did the video embedding correctly. Never tried this before here, and I don't see any evidence of a special process for this forum....

Edit: Nope, did it wrong. Take two.

21. "I like money"

[DFW]

22. "It's GOOD to be the King."

Mel Brooks, History of the World, Part 1

[napkinz]

23. Mel Brooks was prescient. This is how the Rethugs treated ...

... our first African-American president (and how they still treat him)

Later in this scene, Sheriff Bart says it all (and it applies to the GOP):

"They are sooooo dumb!"

[Brigid]

25. And this is how GOP voters treat him:

[napkinz]

39. I think rethugs spell it Morans

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

24. Major Kong

I haven't decided if it's "did your parents have any children that lived," "you legislate like old people fuck," "I'm gonna rip your balls off so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world," or "were you born a fat, slimy scumbag puke piece of shit or did you have to work at it?" but it's one of those four.

It will give us control of them. If we want to rule more than one small, fuckin' town, we have to have it. People will come from all over, they'll do exactly what I tell 'em if the words are from the book. It's happened before and it'll happen again. All we need is that book."

The Book of Eli

[mia]

77. The last Bible

[SheilaT]

64. "Little by little the look of the country changes

because of the men we admire."

From Hud, 1963. The old man, played by Melvyn Douglas, to Brandon deWilde as Lonnie. Lonnie totally admires his uncle Hud, played by Paul Newman. The old man despises Hud and all he represents, and cannot stand it that Lonnie wants nothing more than to be exactly like his uncle.

It is, in fifteen words the single most prescient line ever.

I did not see the movie when it came out. I first saw it twenty years later on TV, and we (my husband and I) just about fell out of our chairs when we heard the line. Thirty years on it's still both prescient and timely.

[DefenseLawyer]

68. You know, this used to be a helluva good country.

[napkinz]

72. so true!

"What you represent to them is freedom. ... Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what's it's all about, all right. But talkin' about it and bein' it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em."

"No it makes 'em dangerous."


The rethugs talk about freedom, but they sure don't believe in it (hence all the restrictions on freedom they keep pushing). They talk freedom ... but that's reserved for white males. Forget it if you're a woman, black or brown, gay or lesbian, poor, an immigrant, an atheist, Muslim, and on and on.

69. "Who is your daddy and what does he do?"

82. "Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet!"

Seriously, the entire "Brawndo's got what plants crave" scene from Idiocracy pretty much sums up any attempt in debating most base level Republicans.

Joe: "For the last time, I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff."
Secretary of State: "But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes."
Attorney General (Sara Rue): "So wait a minute. What you're saying is that you want us to put water on the crops."
Joe: "Yes."
Attorney General: "Water. Like out the toilet?"
Joe: "Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that's the idea."
Secretary of State: "But Brawndo's got what plants crave."
Attorney General: "It's got electrolytes."
Joe: "Okay, look. The plants aren't growing, so I'm pretty sure that the Brawndo's not working. Now, I'm no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow."
Secretary of Energy (Brendan Hill): "Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet."
Secretary of State: "Hey, that's good. You sure you ain't the smartest guy in the world?"
Joe: "Okay, look. You wanna solve this problem. I wanna get my pardon. So why don't we just try it, okay, and not worry about what plants crave?"
Attorney General: "Brawndo's got what plants crave."
Secretary of Energy: "Yeah, it's got electrolytes."
Joe: "What are electrolytes? Do you even know?"
Secretary of State: "It's what they use to make Brawndo."
Joe: "Yeah, but why do they use them to make Brawndo?"
Secretary of Defense: "'Cause Brawndo's got electrolytes."
