Jack Thompson Spams Utah Senate, May Face Legal Action

eldavojohn writes "Yesterday, GamePolitics ran an interesting story about the Utah Senate President threatening Jack Thompson with the CAN-SPAM Act. You might recall Utah being Jack's last hope and hold-out after being disbarred in Florida and more or less made a mockery everywhere else. Well, from Utah's Senate Site, we get the picture of what Jack is up to now: spamming his last friends on the planet. The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting on Senate President Michael Waddoups' statements: 'I asked you before to remove me from your mailing list. I supported your bill but because of the harassment will not again. If I am not removed, I will turn you over to the AG for legal action.' The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Waddoups confirmed on Tuesday that he would attempt to pursue legal action under the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 against Jack Thompson."

    You made a mistake... Yankees fans should be first on that list.

    Mets are by far the better NY team. B-Mets home-opener day is tomorrow! Too bad I'm not in Bingo to go cheer them on.

    Don't confuse the "right wing" with the religious nutjobs. They are control freaks, whereas most of us in the right wing don't care if you smoke marijuana while watching tv, have orgies in your bedroom, or worship pagan gods.

    We believe in small government and lots of individual liberty.

    Oh good lord, the insane idiocy of some people, sorry, but your statement *is* both insane and idiotic, so don't blame me for pointing it out.

    The right is *by definition* control freaks. By definition the right are fans of big government. Hell, theocratic feudalism is the canonical right wing government. You can not have a small right wing government. You can have a *Liberal* government which is what you are attempting to describe as "right wing", but that's the center.

    Here's the breakdown so hopefully you quit repeating this idiotic nonsense which is pure fox news propaganda:

    Liberalism: "We hold this truth to be self evident, that all men are created equal".

    Left: Fundamentally agrees with that one sentence description of Liberalism, but goes further and thinks the power of the state should be used against the individual to enforce that equality.

    Right: Fundamentally disagrees with that sentence and feels instead that certain elites are born superior to the masses (generally based on race or religion) and that the power of the state should be used against the individual in order to enforce that inequality.

    Liberalism, of course, doesn't think the power of the state should be used against the individual *at all*.

    So, no it is not at all in any way shape or form the case that Left = big government and Right = small government. That you would even say something that obviously stupid is really pretty fucking sad.

    Hell look at America today. Far extreme right wing government since the 80s and we're robbing the citizens blind to pay the already wealthy and powerful for their *incompetence*. That is pure 100% right wing in every aspect by definition. That's what the right wing is, Sparky, and that's what ther right wing has always been. That you've been duped into pretending that Liberalism is magically the right now and that the right just fucking vanished into thin air as you absolutely are claiming is really deeply pathetic. With your stupid blatantly false definitions, you do not even have a word in your vocabulary to describe your own fucking government. Think long and hard about that fact, Sparky.

    Seriously, please pull your head out of your ass and at least learn what the fucking words you use to describe yourself even mean. You're a Classical Liberal through and through if your description of what you believe is honest, and that means that the right is diametrically opposed to everything you believe in by fucking definition.
