Well, it -is- Louisiana...it's not even really hypocrisy, just stupidity. I don't think most of them are smart enough to even see the issue.

hahaha nice 2001 S-Type. And WTF is a Louisiana purchase card? I don't understand if they're taking themselves seriously or not in this. If I thought they were taking themselves seriously, I fear any thought I'd have would be racist. If I thought they were doing a parody, they'd be racist. I'm so confused. Hold me...

Want to know what it even worse? Laws like this are still on the books, and enforced.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_law:

"In Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, car dealerships continue to operate under blue-law prohibitions in which an automobile may not be purchased or traded on a Sunday. Maryland permits Sunday automobile sales only in the counties of Prince George's, Montgomery, and Howard; similarly, Michigan restricts Sunday sales to only those counties with a population of less than 130,000. Texas and Utah prohibit car dealerships from operating over consecutive weekend days.

Many states still prohibit selling alcohol on Sunday, or at least before noon on Sunday, under the rationale that people should be in church on Sunday morning, or at least not drinking.

Blue laws may also prohibit retail activity on days other than Sunday. In Massachusetts and Connecticut, for example, blue laws dating to the Puritans of the 17th century still prohibit most retail stores, including grocery stores, from opening on Thanksgiving and Christmas."

I'm so glad these were ruled to be unconstitutional here in Canada in 1985.

So sad that this is more or less true. It leaves me speechless.

NY Times article
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/04/us/04beebe.html

mentions another 500 dead birds, more varied in species, found outside a town in Louisiana.

45 people have been executed this year.

17 in Texas
10 in Ohio
5 in Alabama
4 in Alaska
3 in Mississippi
2 in Georgia
2 in Virginia
2 in Oklahoma
1 in Utah
1 in Washington
1 in Florida
1 in Louisiana

Utah still uses a firing squad.

6 more executions are scheduled for this year.

1233 people have been executed since they started keeping track in 1976.

I'm sorry to inform you the Louisiana Six Flags video you submitted has been pulled by the YT submitter, at least at the time of me writing this.

Uhm..you can make that argument on both sides of the aisle, dumbass. Lots of places are bankrupt and yet they continue to not make changes. Insanity knows no distinction between party.

>> ^quantumushroom:

Have you ever considered that the ideology of the left is itself a failure? California is bankrupt and the fools there just reelected the same-same, once again illustrating the definition of insanity. Extremely liberal California is sinking while not-liberal Texas is thriving (it's where companies are moving when they flee CA).
I'm all for secession. This federal mafia is too big and too corrupt. Let liberal politicos pay off their constituents with the blood of some other host besides taxpayers in other states.

>> ^Enzoblue:
WE did the right thing, we got dems in power in all three branches. They failed us miserably.
Wonder why voter turn out for young people and dems was so low? Because we don't give a shit anymore. Our only hope for real change is to let the idiots have the helm and, this time, drive us into a recession that we can't bail out of. One that causes our complete collapse and results in state secession.
You want God in your government Alabama/Louisiana/Mississippi etc? Make your own constitution. I will fully support you.
I will be in the Peoples Republic of Pennsylvania, (hopefully).
