I just learned today about Lochner v. New York:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochner_v._New_York
Where apparently laws limiting working hours to 10 hours a day and 60 hours a week were declared an unconstitutional violation of the workers' rights.
Well if it's a right you shouldn't have to pay for it then right?
"right to", "patriot", "liberty", "freedom", some how conservatives have warped or destroyed all these words
I think I'm gonna start a bingo card for all the usual conservative buzzwords.
Maybe give one to my parents and tell them the more words they find in their news, especially if my mother (educated, and qualified to teach grade school) thinks the usage and/or grammar are odd, they should assume whoever is writing it is trying to trick them into blindly following like good little sheep.
I've noticed a huge uptick in that type of phrasing ever since the tea party bullshit, but it probably started long before that, I know they have people specifically working on this type of thing and unfortunately they seem to be very good at it
Please do, we should make a community dedicated to making and sharing Conservative Bingo Cards.
I have a RIGHT to pay HUNDREDS to THOUSANDS of Dollars a Month on Energy INSTEAD of ZERO!
-Fiscally Responsible Republicans!
If demand for gas was so great, they wouldn't have to make up these schemes. This is an attempt to favour more polluting businesses over less polluting businesses.
A "Right to Natural Gas", like for free?
