Title: Texan lawmaker uses floor time to rail against gay space colonies
Post by: Tolpuddle Martyr on May 29, 2016, 06:45:58 am
In a long rambling speech about gawd and...something (http://motherboard.vice.com/en_au/read/texas-congressman-louie-gohmert-says-us-should-not-make-gay-space-colonies) he cites a Matt Damon movie to warn against the dangers of gay space colonies.

I'll have one ticket for the gay space colony, please.

Just...what?

Is this guy schizophrenic?  Serious question.

"Gay space colony" has the same number of syllables as "gay train robbery."  This must mean something.

Is the train gay or the people robbing it?

Is it something like this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mantrain (I am certain that the net would have plenty of pictures to illustrate the maneuver but I can't link them here.)

The worst part about space colonies is all that cum floating around in zero gravity, hard to clean that shit up.

And now I imagine there being PSA's and notes on the walls saying "Swallow, don't spit" on a space station.

Speaking of, whatever happened to that Zero-G porno?  I seem to remember one being planned.

At 1:08 and 1:17...is he farting, ever so softly? It's definitely not his ass squeaking on a leather seat, cuz he's standing at the lectern. Maybe he got fisted in the mens room prior? That can create some high pressure fart bubbles between shit sticks. Maybe just a good ol' fashioned country boy barn hump, was all. Such a mystery....

Why do these idiots get elected?  Oh right.

Because 'murica gave up on the eugenics thing after Hitler made it unpopular in the 40s and now your family trees look more like spiderwebs.

The only way you end up with politicians (and the electorate that votes for them) like this is generations of cousinfucking.  You're basically the proletarian version of the fucking Habsburgs.

Oh do tell us about the importance of proper breeding mr Tory Tophat under the reign of your imported German monarchs.

So you don't believe immigrant families can ever be naturalised, even given 200 years?  That sounds a bit racist. 

Just what I'd expect from an inbred fuckwit.

Now take your duelling banjos and piss off.

And before that they had Dutch monarchs, and before that Scottish...

I dunno, Contrarian makes a good point. It's been 200 years. If a German family immigrated to America in 1816, we wouldn't still call them German.

Actually, they would. It seems rather common for Americans to call themselves "German", "Italian", "Irish", "French" or some other nationality when they were born in the States, grew up there, only speak English and have never set foot in their supposed homeland even once, all because they have one or two ancestors from there.

Case in point, I consider myself Irish despite my ancestors arriving in the 1600's and 1700's, and Jewish despite it being a century since that side got here and not being actually religious.

You guys are weird.  I consider myself Southern, at most.  Usually, just a human who happens to speak a certain dialect of a certain language.

I know I have Irish ancestors, Australian ancestors, and ancestors that predate the European settlement. I just call myself American.

There are people who would call themselves one of the above, but pretty much only because they're into that.

Were I an inbred fuckwit you'd be paying fealty to me and singing God Save me, surely.

Well, the Southern politicians DO make a pretty convincing argument. We've elected even more inbred versions of the Habsburg dynasty. Just look at Louie Gohmert.
