…and not just whatever document prepared by his handlers is shoved in his face.

It certainly looks bad that the release of the hostages occurred within an hour of Reagan’s swearing in, but that doesn’t mean Reagan’s swearing in caused their release. Many sources I’ve read have shown, quite undeniably to me, that the Carter Administration negotiated the deal that released the hostages (read: pots ‘o gold handed over ($8 billion)). Their holding onto the Americans until Reagan was in office was, perhaps, a big “fuck you” to the Carter people for standing so tough on their position.
In more controversial reading spaces it was the Reagan people who brokered a deal with the Iranians so that Reagan would look like King Fucking Kong; strolling into the White House and without a word scarring those towel wearing motherfuckers into releasing the Americans. (I’m not racist, that’s not racist, don’t say it is, that was the neo-cons view… I love those towel wearing motherfuckers.. well not love… See it’s a complicated relationship dating back hundreds of years which…)
On the upside of this ad I’m happily surprised he didn’t mention 9/11 or show the video of the planes flying in moments before impact…
In other news, in the latest GQ Huckabee says if we make gay marriage legal, we will implode as a society…
Is the strategy shifting because social conservatives are losing on those core issues? Ten years ago, it would have been unimaginable to have gay marriage even in liberal Massachusetts. Now it’s there.
I don’t think the issue’s about being against gay marriage. It’s about being for traditional marriage and articulating the reason that’s important. You have to have a basic family structure. There’s never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived. So there is a sense in which, you know, it’s one thing to say if people want to live a different way, that’s their business. But when you want to redefine what family means or what marriage means, then that’s an issue that should require some serious and significant debate in the public square. And if you look at states that have had it on the ballot—I know in our state it was a 70-percent-against issue. Most states are similar to that.
“The Family Unit” has gone through such drastic shifts (without public debate) over the past hundred years. Just fucking say a book tells you you can’t change things, at least be honest, and drop that whole Chuck Norris thing… That’s really, really done as a meme now that you picked it up… Dickface…
