Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton prepares for state government shutdown

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton filed a petition in district court this week (June 15) in preparation for a possible state government shutdown. Dayton and the Republican-controlled Legislature are at impasse over the proposed state budget. Dayton comments on why he filed the petition, and the perceived alternative. House Majority Leader Matt Dean, R-Dellwood, offers a counterpoint.

@goochisan If his mother was a Jew that he is a Jew No MATTER WHAT!

What a great governor. Letting his state workers get fired and put thousands of people out of work all because of his selfish liberal agenda, but yet he keeps his personal chefs and food workers on the pay scale. DAYTON IS A LIAR. LETS KEEP BLAMING REPUBLICANS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO POWER IN MN.

@shadetree6981 P.S. Governor Dayton's a Christian; Presbyterian, to be exact. (Not that it matters.)

@shadetree6981 Ha! What a coincidence. So, try a different dictionary...

Oxford American Dictionary:

"bigoted |ˈbigətid|

adjective

obstinately convinced of the superiority or correctness of one's own opinions and prejudiced against those who hold different opinions : a bigoted group of reactionaries.

• expressing or characterized by prejudice and intolerance : a thoughtless and bigoted article."

@shadetree6981 No, what I'm saying is that not "all" Jewish people are "scumbags"; Nor are "all" politicians "criminals"; Nor is "nearly every" politician Jewish; Nor is it the goal of Jewish politicians to "destroy [MN]". Those are simply your opinions, not facts, and are tinged with your obvious bigotry. Also, while Judaism may not be a "race" in the truest sense of the word, it is most certainly an ethnicity. (Whether it's a "cult" depends on your view/understanding/definition of religion.)

@goochisan Btw... Merriam - Webster is a Jewish publication.

[shadetree6981]

@goochisan So... You are saying that these politicians I listed are NOT Jewish, and that is just my "hyperbolic opinion"? Are you also implying that they are NOT guilty of criminal behavior (treason to the constitution) and that is also just my 'hyperbolic opinion"? You also claim that Judaism is a race or ethnicity. It is NOT. It is a religion. (though it also seems to be a cult).

I guess I'm just a "Redneck Bigot" because I am tired of Religious whackjobs running the show!

[goochisan]

@shadetree6981 No, you're a "scumbag" bigot because your own writing clearly demonstrates that you fit the standard definition*; And you're laughable because most of what you claim to be "truth" is clearly just uninformed, hyperbolic opinion. (FACT)

* "bigot: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance." (m-w.com)

[shadetree6981]

@goochisan Am I a bigot because I point out the FACT that nearly every politican is Jewish? or am I a bigot for calling them all criminals (FACT)? Maybe I'm a bigot because I don't dismiss the FACT that their being Jewish has something to do with how they got to where they are?(Fact) Or maybe it's because I am sick and tired of a rogue government intentionally tanking this great land? I think the reason you call me the bigot is because I chose to follow the truth over political correctness.

[goochisan]

@shadetree6981 Really? REALLY? Your bigotry is not only shameful, but laughable. I'd be more angry, but I can't stop ROTFLMAO at you and your "logic".
