View snapshots from outside the Supreme Court during the health care law arguments.

What asshattery is this. She is mingling Colonial/Revolutionary War imagery with First Nations imagery and saying that this represents socialism.

“Say that dirty word, Socialism.”

Firstly, she’s likely being an appropriative douche.

Secondly, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Thirdly, Why are we still fucking arguing over whether access to affordable health care is a human right? (it is)

I was trying to figure out why the hell she’s got the whole colonial thing going on with the hat, but then is wearing a native style quill necklace.

Anyway, I kind of like the red handprint… ‘cause it looks like she’s already been slapped for me.
