The Simple Truths Silver Mine

If opebo was a major source of amusement in your lives, then we ought to feel really sorry for you.

[Paul Kemp]

No, it is present time. At the first of this new year the US flipped (transformed) from the New World and returned to Old World status. Obamacare being the primary starter kit.

ITT: Republicans ecstatic that poor people won't have health insurance.

[Joe Republic]

I don't know who is worse, Puckett, the Republicans who bribed him, or the hacks on this forum cheering blatant bribery.

This thread is sick and disgusting. The Panzer family is not 'hot'.

Came here to post that.

Brian Schweitzer is a human being, not a slave to the Democratic Party. His path to the Senate seat is not laid out by the Yellow Brick Road, especially in an environment like this one. In fact, I would bet the farm that if he ran, Daines would be leading anyway. This seat was a tossup at best, even with Schweitzer, and I don't blame him for using his free will and not running for Senate.

I am done arguing this point. Sh*t happens. Get over it.

The GOP is showing more signs that it is turning into a white nationalist party. The first thing the Nazis did was remove Jews from the political scene.

Reagan didn't force people to like him and was a much better person than Chavez.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I find it much less immoral for someone's dependency to be funded by more than one hundred million people than I do someone's dependency leading to the financial ruin of just a couple of family members and some tribal council.

Context:

Because we're an unbearable group of people.

It's a lot easier to see Bush favorably when he's painting pictures of dogs instead of destroying the country.

[IceSpear]

[Eisenhower] was probably one of the most truly conservative Presidents the US ever had, in the proper meaning of the word. Modern "conservatives" are actually reactionaries.

Let's revisit a classic:

Excellent line, and absolutely accurate.

Clearly the extreme right-wing Republican economic ideology of favouring the elite with privilege increasing tax policy leads to far less jobs than would be available with a redistributionist Keynesian economic policy.

And just as clearly, the Republican Party is the party of jingoistic nationalism and xenophobia, getting itself elected not only with hatred of minorities within the country, but fear of dark people outside it.  Thus they are far more prone to wars - it pleases their hate-filled base.

Considering how having the state recognize all marriages is a fairly recent phenomenon, anyone who suggests sex in a common law relationship is fornication, doesn't know what they are talking about.

Thankfully, Tennessee's Republican Party has generally managed to be the sanest of the Southern GOPs.

Good gravy, intactivists are the worst.

Internet 'discussion' of circumcision should be prohibited.

[courts]

Does anybody care to take on the pro- infant circumcision cause, even just for the sake of playing devil's advocate? Freedom of religion perhaps? Although it is uncommon today, we are all aware that religious rituals have included throwing live people into volcanoes? Should that action also be condoned and all discussion thereof "prohibited" so as not to hurt the feelings of believers? The blind deference and outight suspension of reason in otherwise intelligent and thoughtful people is both baffling and disheartening.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Since they are the ones in the trenches dying for the cause, I'd leans towards saying yes, actually. Anyone who supports a war but doesn't want to fight it is a coward of the worst kind.

you sometimes give the impression of wanting to be victimized because you think it would put you morally in the right

Nicely done! I especially liked the part where you quote-mined the critical part of a qualified compliment in order to insult me. And as with so much of the nonesuch of nonsense that is your recent posting history this is rich coming from the likes of you.

[Meursault]

And my argument doesn't just apply to Nathan. Nietzsche basically sourced the entire origin of Christianity altogether in mass moral self-victimization, and of course I took it from him.

To wit, this is also why Nathan thinks I consider all Christians flagellating Catholics.
