Freedom: 1, SOPA: ZERO!

Laughter and Liberty — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:44:06 +0000

Quite possibly one of the best things to happen in the name of freedom in the past 10 years, a huge win for liberty supporters everywhere, has finally happened. Without the president having to use his veto power. After taking the heat on SOPA from major websites planning a blackout in protest of the freedom stealing legislation, along with the pleas of thousands of freedom lovers all over the world the White House finally spoke out against SOPA and threatened to veto the bill saying “We will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.”. Considering how rare it is for a bill to actually pass once the President has vetoed it, it looks like that is all that was needed to make the SOPA sponsors back down. (for now) A statement from House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa concluded; ”While I remain concerned about Senate action on the Protect IP Act, I am confident that flawed legislation will not be taken up by this House, majority Leader Cantor has assured me that we will continue to work to address outstanding concerns and work to build consensus prior to any anti-piracy legislation [.READ MORE..]

Ron Paul Raises over 3 Million Dollars In “Tea Party” Money Bomb, Appears on Leno

Laughter and Liberty — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 05:34:55 +0000

Ron Paul’s “Tea Party Money Bomb” kicked off at midnight last night with his supporters wondering just how close they might come to the record setting fundraiser four years ago on this day. On December 16, 2007 Ron Paul garnered national news attention when his Tea Party Day event raised over 4 million dollars in a 24 hour period. The term money bomb was coined in 2007 referring to an organized online fundraiser that typically has a theme or falls on an important date in history. The notable quality about these events is that they are created and executed not by the campaign, but by grassroots supporters who come together online organizing pledges in the hundreds of thousands. Yesterday’s money bomb raised just over 3 million dollars, a respectable amount when you consider the average donation of just $300. Dr Paul was at his best on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno answering questions about the economy, Iran, foreign aid and everything else that most people don’t have a clue about. He spoke clearly and intelligently and showed his true strength as Leno asked about marijuana legalization. Leno must have had an audience full of stoners because the crowd [.READ MORE..]

Herman Cain Is A Foreign Policy Genius

Laughter and Liberty — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:58:15 +0000

As demonstrated in this video below Herman Cain obviously knows his stuff when it comes to Foreign Policy. I especially love how he appears to be looking to the heavens to find some inspiration on how to answer a question he knows absolutely nothing about. He pauses for an uncomfortable length of time. In the end he just goes with a general disagreement with how Obama handled it, but didn’t he just say in the Foreign Policy debate this week that he himself would impose sanctions as a solution to conflict? Yes. Yes he did. Silly Herman, maybe you should go back to making pizza. bump this video on reddit

The Mystery is Solved!

acptulsa — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:24:23 +0000

For four long years now, or three and a half anyway, the nation has been perplexed by a statement by then-candidate Barack Obama to the effect that the United States of America is comprised of fifty-seven states. Well, we here at Laughter and Liberty are pleased and proud to announce that we have uncovered the perfectly logical explanation. With President Obama’s agreement today to defend Australia from all attackers for perpetuity, we can now definitely state that we have pinpointed the source of the confusion. It is now apparent that as far as Obama is concerned, the list of the Several States that compose the United States of America includes Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territories, New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania. Dear Pulitzer Committee: We expect to be hearing from you soon.

The Eleventh Hour

acptulsa — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 04:30:57 +0000

The Eleventh Hour is kind of an archaic term, these days. It has pretty much been replaced by The Last Minute. It referred to getting things done before a midnight (or noon) deadline–if you’re working at 11:something, you’re a procrastinator. So, ninety years ago today, when The Armistice was signed late in the morning, the grim, gallows humor was that they waited until the Eleventh Hour–The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month… And there was a reason for that–Europe was in tatters, and the majority of the young men of an entire generation (or two, or three–at the end, they were taking them mighty young and mighty old) were gone. It was past time to end that nightmare. Kaiser Wilhelm II, the crazy, spoiled young brat of the Prussian House of Hohenzollern, had decided shortly after his coronation that the new confederation called Germany would become a major power, not only on land but on the sea. So, he started building battleships, and eventually dreadnought type battleships, much to Great Britain’s consternation. This added to other European tensions, many of which were centered on the uneasy alliance that was the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and helped make diplomacy [.READ MORE..]

Billybob and Me

So, Billybob, you glad to be rid of Anwar al-Awlaki? Yeah, that bastard deserved to die! We’re all safer with him dead n’ buried! You act like you knew him. Naw, I din’t know that guy, I don’t wanna know him. He’s dead and good riddance. I didn’t think you liked Obama. Well, hell, I don’t. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Would you just as soon be rid of Obama? Do you want to wait until he gets beat in the election, or would you rather just throw him out now? Well, I don’t figure Biden could be worse, so I’d just as soon be rid of him now. But whatcha gonna do? What if I told you ordering the killing of al-Awlaki was unConstitutional? I don’t believe it. How could gettin’ rid of that Anastazi guy be a bad thing? Didn’t they say he was our enemy? Well, yeah, they said that, but you know they were kind of supposed to prove it. He was an American, after all, and we’re really not supposed to go around killing Americans without taking them to court first. Well I don’t think no terrist deserves no day [.READ MORE..]

Ron Paul is Too Good to be a Texan!

acptulsa — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 23:25:23 +0000

It’s just time for Ron Paul to move up to Oklahoma, that’s all. Now, I’ll admit that the Houston-Galveston area is kind of special. Houston is the fourth largest city in the nation, they own the only surviving dreadnaught battleship in the whole world, and they have a monument taller and less cracked than the Washington Monument. They are special, and they had to be to steal the title of Oil Capital from us, before Dubai stole it from them. But, you know, other than the nice trains running out of Palestine and some pretty scenery in eastern Texas that can hold a candle to the gently rolling hills of Oklahoma, Texas is a few gazillion acres of nothing worth mentioning, and that’s it. And, of course, the usual Texas politician is some LBJ-Dubya-Rick Perry style inarticulate, flesh-pressing, clod kicking, high school bully of a moron. No wonder they’ve been reelecting Ron Paul for a couple of decades now. Who else have they got to be proud of? Stephen Austin? Sure, but what has he done for us lately? Ron Paul is just too good to be a Texan, that’s all. He went too far south. And the proof is [.READ MORE..]

Good Morning, Irene

acptulsa — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:30:48 +0000

Washington D.C. got shaken up Tuesday. No one is sure what caused the earthquake on the twenty-third. The area isn’t known for tectonic activity. There is some reason to believe all of the founding fathers were busy rolling in their graves. Thomas Jefferson in particular, being the author of the Declaration of Independence, could well be doing a posthumous watusi as we give away our liberties for nothing more than a false sense of security. Indeed, as the Fourth Amendment goes the way of habeus corpus, all of Arlington may have been on the roll that day… But, as much as Washington needed a good, thorough shakeup, not much seems to have changed out that way save the closing of the Washington Monument. But don’t give up hope. This weekend, the city will receive the cleansing of a lifetime as Irene comes to provide some maid service. If we’re really, really lucky, she’ll wash the Department of Education down the Potomoc and out to sea, and maybe we can get back up to the educational standards the nation enjoyed in 1978 before that monolith was created. But don’t count on it. No, I fear the thing that is needed to [.READ MORE..]
