Republicans: The party of small government

[Jimmy Higgins]

I suppose it worked on Single Female Lawyer.

There are people born intersex, either with bits of both or nothing very much, who are difficult to define as men or women. So, where do they "go"?

Effectively this requires a third type of facility to be provided.

How about the case out of England recently--the guy has had blood in his urine for almost 20 years. The doctors finally figured it out--and are doing a hysterectomy.

And shit like this is why I propose rearranging our bathroom setup every chance I get to 'Cares about gender' and 'don't give a shit'. Where 'IDGAF' gets a big multi-stall bathroom with urinals and lots of stalls 2x the size of a 'classic' bathroom, and then a set of two or three individual bathrooms. All the mature adults can piss and shit as we please, and the stuffy, immature people can wait for the private stalls and be outed as immature fucks.

The Belgians already do this; except they don't bother with the private stalls for people who care, because there are not enough of them in Belgium to be worth worrying about.

This thread is for stories illustrating just how small a government the Republicans really want.

Example #1: Small government policing public bathroom usage

Proposed law would limit transgender protections throughout Florida

State Rep. Frank Artiles[R] on Wednesday filed HB 583, titled “Single-Sex Public Facilities.”

Artiles’ proposed law: “Single-Sex Public Facilities: Requires that use of single-sex facilities be restricted to persons of sex for which facility is designated; prohibits knowingly & willfully entering single-sex public facility designated for or restricted to persons of other biological sex; provides exemptions; provides private cause of action against violators; provides for preemption.”

The conservolibertarians only want small government for rich people and large corporations.

For all the commoners (e.g. middle and lower classes), they want government to regulate as much as humanly possible because commoners are trash and need to be controlled.

Good for them.

But what if I don't care about gender but I have to give a shit? Which bathroom do I go in?

Hence the well known phrase, "Can you bear to shit in the woods?"

Unfortunately most people won't figure it out.

Small government....big deficits...big trouble.

Big deficits are proof of a lack of small government.

Think about that and look at the glaring internal contradiction in what you wrote.

Let me clarify this for you. A person takes his tongue and puts it in his cheek. I was giving a Republican conservative concept and pointing to the Giant republican deficits in the Reagan and Bush administrations. It was a bit bare in explanation and should have been followed by this reference. Today it matters very little which of the scrapping duopoly parties is in charge and I should include perhaps the impossible idea of the Libertarians being in charge. The real problem is not so much a matter of the size of the government as it is its priorities.

lol, I worded it that way just for you buddy! :hug:

And how do you get small government and big deficits???

Well if recent history is any guide, you don't get small government.


Ronald Reagan famously said that "government is not the solution to your problems...government IS the problem!"


He said this on the first day of his government job.

It is incredible that a POTUS can say such a thing and keep his job.

Imagine how long the new CEO of Coca-Cola would keep his job if his first public statement was "Drinking soda is not the solution to your problems... Drinking soda IS the problem."

Who funds education in the USA? Is it the states or the Federal govt? If it is primarily the role of the states then I would expect the federal govt to spend more money on defence that on education (except for the states that border Canada. They need to be prepared).

The main political parties are two sides of the same coin. That is, they are essentially dependent on consumer spending (which means more credit available and social welfare) coupled with deregulation for Wall Street.

Ronald Reagan didn't have the intellect to understand the stupidity of his remarks, nor appreciate the irony. Why should he? That problem government was giving him everything he wanted. It must have only been a problem for other people, not Ronny. He didn't do it with malice like Cheney, but he still essentially got to laugh all the way to the bank.

Someone should have asked him "Are you an anarchist?"

It's a shame that there was such a disparity between Reagan's rhetoric and Reagan's actions. Had he talked like he acted, nobody would confuse him with someone anti-government. Had he acted like he talked, this country would be far different today, for the better. As is, people somehow think Reagan's actions are small government.
