4. But, but, but......

doesn't religious freedom mean that they can't impose their beliefs on others just as they would like others to not impose their beliefs on them? Where did that get lost?

5. translation: religious freedom to discriminate and also to opt out of contraception and

pregnancy termination.

Their choice this year is Obama-care of Romney-care -- I'll bet they are thrilled.

7. I wonder what 'Hundreds attended' actually translates to

There is almost identical wording in the article about the rally in Flint, today. Hundreds. Since there were a 160 rallies held, across the entire country, how many of those supposed 'hundreds' were given free transportation to populate the crowd.

10. They were probably flat-packed people

Easy to assemble! An all-purpose captive audience!

Edit: Or perhaps they were vacuum packed! Just add water! Vacuum packed humans for the intellectual vacuum.

11. Flat packed, genuine, imitation cardboard cutouts.

Just prop them up. Each comes with its own, carefully misspelled protest sign.

8. I think there was one in Texas

Lots of red-necks carrying nonsensical signs on the south side of the capitol.

9. There have been plenty

of them on DU in the past.

12. A new nut is cracked every minute of the day!

And that's proof that nut cracking is multicultural.
