The brains went to Reagan's other son.

Michael Reagan was adopted.

Well then I suppose he was never in the running.

[Lambsbread]

Oh my.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

The two are strikingly similar...

Using slippery slope arguments is a slippery slope to comparing things to murder (or Nazis)

And the healthcare law sets up death panels. And the President is a Muslim socialist. The Republican relationship with reality is so tenuous it ought to be in the DSM-V.

And the healthcare law sets up death panels. And the President is a Muslim socialist. The Republican relationship with reality is so tenuous it ought to be in the DSM-V.

I think that is covered by the code F24.  (I'm assuming DSM-5 will build on the ICD-10 codes, just as DSM-IV built on the ICD-9 codes.)  Of course F24 is a fairly broad diagnosis so perhaps DSM-5 will give a Republican specific code, in which case I suggest F24.47

Jon Stewart's quote in my sig gets truer every day.

The slippery slope is not only very steep, but greased with lube or something.

Or santorum.

Polygamy is okay, bestiality isn't.  Consent is the limit, as long as everything is between consenting adults, I'm fine with it. 

As for murder... give me a break.  Yes, murder is illegal because it is morally wrong.  No, that is not the only reason murder is illegal. 

From a purely economic standpoint, no buisness will want to invest in a country where its employees could be killed at any time with no repercussions.  Heck, the entire economy would collapse, weapons- not money, would become the basis of power. 

Essentially, there are some objective, logical reasons to outlaw murder.  Nobody has been able to provide such for gay marriage.

And his brother Ronald Reagan is too liberal to ever get the Democratic nomination.

Abolishing slavery and giving women the right to vote were probably slippery slopes too. You abolish slavey and the next thing that happens is that a negro becomes president and establishes a negro supremacy-based tyranny which opresses the white folk.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Stupid attention whore is stupid.

Michael makes Ronnie like extremely reasonable.  Not that Ronald Reagan ever endorsed SSM, but he was not the raging homophobe that the religious right would have liked.  In 1978, Reagan joined Carter and Ford in opposing that California ballot initiative that would have banned gay public school teachers.  Three presidents all the the right side.  Nixon on the other hand...well, he made it quite clear that he was scared of San Francisco.

[TNF]

Sounds just as useless and bigoted as his dear ol' racist dad.

[courts]

probably because he fantasizes about that a lot. remember those choice quotes he made a few years back about shoving grenades up palestinian babies and executing 9/11 truthers?

[Joe Republic]

If people insist on using slippery slope arguments, then one day we'll all be living in mud huts and being gassed by Nazis.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I wonder if this is related to his past. He was a victim of molestation, so this probably comes from that....
