    If their goal is to continuously remind people of why they plan to move to the Pacific Northwest, rather than the Deep South, then they are doing a brilliant job...

    Well... it certainly is a much more passive way of revolting, as opposed to what some other people are doing.

    Yeah, this is basically what the GOP is all about, these days.

    If by "these days," you mean at least since 2000 (if not prior to that), then yes. :3

    Amen. As soon as I have enough money, I'm packing my bags and moving out of this intellectual wasteland.

    Seattle sounds lovely...

    Those people are ridiculous. Moving closer to the Seahawks' home and further away from closed-minded nutters sounds awesome, though luckily there doesn't seem to be that kind of bs going on where I live. If there was, I'd be packing up and moving the hell out of there with you guys too.

    Before then. The only difference is that they used to be a bit more constrained by other elements in the party, although they were happy to let their derp flag fly with Reagan.

    Well... Conservatives with half a brain have gone silent at their own stupidity leaving room for total conservative morons to speak.

    Thankfully there are many people who think what this county is doing is moronic. Honestly, it's kind of a slap in the face to people such as the late Auditor Tom Schweich, who committed suicide and had flags lowered for one week. Yet because them gays can get married, they think that's more depressing than a state official's suicide?

    Conservatives care about no one but themselves.

    It was even worse in the Reagan era; having grown up in the 80s, I saw the biter seeds planted that have come to bear such ugly fruit. But Reagan, more than any modern president, is to blame for ushering in the religious right, and so much hatred for the poor, minorities and the environment.

    Having sprouted my first pubic hairs when he was president, it gave me a LOT to rebel against in my teenage years...and even today.

    Rubbish. They care about the religious right and the Koch brothers too.

    That picture tho. xD But what that county did is also pretty disrespectful to people who are/were in the military because they probably don't give a whoop and are just using them as an excuse for their stupidity. Those idiots managed to diss multiple groups of people at once, though the latest one wasn't really on purpose. Honestly, these extreme conservatives should just be called regressionalists.
