"...almost as though there was a list of talking points... "

Uh, well ya know, sparky, if the sky is blue, and everyone agrees that the sky is blue, it's not because there's myrmidon marching orders from thought control central - it's because everyone agrees on the flippin ~obvious truth!

Krykee. Don't forget yer knee pads before you visit the goracle's temple this week.

For shame, worker! That is an extravagant & bourgeoisie pursuit, and an inefficient use of the people's resources!

Comrade Obama will be most displeased.

Krykee doodle!

That's all we need in this society - a glorification of this depressed, drunken, misogynistic, anti-social, cantankerous, and now dead, mean old S.O.B. who's only claim to fame was writing books that attract other depressed, drunken, misogynistic, anti-social, cantankerous, mean old S.O.B.s!!

What a waste.

I have a dream! In my dream, the legitimate, utilitarian bicyclists responsibly use the carpool lanes & bike lanes. Traffic jams decrease. Personal health and outdoor activity increases. City smog decreases.

I have a dream! In my dream, the infantile, hostile criminalmass gangs regularly get whacked & sprawled helpless on the road by handy dandy baseball bats extended from every new SUV sold this year.

Factory rebate, too. I have a dream. *sigh.

Wow. The clinton presidency revisited.

Uh, huh. And santy claus is a jolly ol' elf.

When these reptilians sprout feathered wings and start to fly, or grow fur and milk teets, wake me up.

In the meantime, sparky, all that's being observed are characteristics in an already existing gene pool.

But, some people need that 'crutch of faith' that darwinism demands, so - look! santy claus too!

Un-freekin' believable.

"Climate change denialists."

Sorry, sparky. Your point of view is based upon chicken little pseudo-science and goracle agitprop.

Real science simply doesn't concur with you.
