Brilliant! Nothing shows the stupidity of the left like this. Hell, I want to see a bill to outlaw any event where more than 10 people run in a group!

I got a pop up I couldn't close so I couldn't read the article....somebody PLEASE tell me it was satire. PLEASE, I'm begging you.
|
|
For some reason the link isn't working for me.
Please tell me this is a fucking joke. |

Given this snippet, it looks like satire to me:
The Unconventional Gazette also contacted Congressman Steve Stockman, R-Texas, an ardent anti-abortion and gun rights advocate. Rep. Stockman has produced a bumper sticker that says: If babies had guns they wouldn’t be aborted. When asked about the proposals to require background checks for pressure cooker buyers and the banning of backpacks, Stockman replied, “And they say I’m nuts.”

Sigh.....I knew it would be a race to the bottom to introduce a bill to ban PCs between NY and CA.
CA wins! |
|
anyone confirm satire on this? I just really cannot accept this as real.
|

Quoted:
This cant be real. Wouldn't surprise me in the least though. |
|
TBH I don't know if this is real or not; I can't get to the main article from this computer. I'm guessing it's satire but this is CA so I don't know for sure.
|

It's a sad state of affairs when I read a title like this, think it is satire, but click it anyway because I'm not really sure.

Thank god. I just loaded my High Capacity cooker with roast beef and potatoes. I would hate to have to bury my pressure cooker in the back yard to avoid registration and confiscation.

So if they stuff explosions in the rectum of an abortion doctor before they set it off, abortion doctors will be banned?

Liberalism really is a mental disorder!
If this wasn't so idiotic, it would be funny! |
|
Wallmart, Kmart and Sears all out of preasure cookers. They say when they get some stock they are going to limit one per customer. No pot roast this weekend. This sux. Spare me the lecture on not being prepared. I also overheard someone say TSA is buying them up.

Please be real, please be real, please be real....
We need these people exposed as the paranoid nut-jobs that they are.... as loudly and publicly as possible. |

Today's joke about how far the left has gone is tomorrows reality.
At one time liberals joked about how the Jewish people were to blame for Germany's poor economy. That joke became reality. |

Its satire. Says so on the page... but its California so it can't be too far from the truth

honestly, I wouldn't have thought this possible.
Illinois was beat by California. |

Son-of-a-bitch stole my idea. Hope they also don't have a warehouse full of pre-ban pressure cookers as well.

Did they take the page down? I can't get to it now.
Somebody must have been mad. It's gone. |

There are no news sources covering this story except a couple unheard of sites. I say it is a joke story.
