Having an autistic brother and having met several people who are actually autistic, the answer is a clear no. 95% of people on this forum who are described as or describe themselves as autistic are not autistic.

@Antonio: Pretty sure I could pick out a random two years from Clinton that did just as much.

I'm pretty sure you can't.

Your problem, BRTD, is that you have to look at everything from your utterly oversimplified ideological point of view.

Any opinion that is held by 3% of Americans becomes a vocal majority on the Internet.

Republicans don't read newspapers - they merely yell in online comments sections about biases and write nasty letters to the editor about such - so no, I don't think this changes anything.

This is going here because it's a wonderful simple truth that many, many people around here are finally coming to their senses, trusting in sound judgement and laughing with KCDood. sorry phil

Trust the Pennsylvania Republican who lives thousands of miles from Kansas over the guy who lives 6 blocks from the state line Roll Eyes

Negative, though Islam is far, far, far worse. I will never understand how seemingly secular and progressive people will go out of their way to coddle and defend Islam.

Jim Webb was so sick of Government that now, just 2 years later, he wants to be President.

Always good to have someone (competent) who isn't beholden to either major party.

Saying that something is a social construct is a way of saying it's not an immutable truth. That doesn't mean it can/should be discarded (lots of stuff that people made up is good and worth hanging onto), but it does mean that if we realize it's made up, we can stop treating it with undue reverence and evaluate it on its merits, rather than as received wisdom.

On BRTD and music:

You basically exclusively like a few incredibly specific types of post-punk music and you think everything else is garbage, right? That's not racist, you just have ridiculously idiosyncratic taste in music.

Why is it so trendy for libertarians to hate Lincoln?  Truly bizarre.

The horror of a President actually doing something is far too much.

I'm a fairly hardcore gamer and I don't give two sh**ts about this drama.  I'd imagine most self described hardcore gamers are the same.

I also still can't get over what a prideful man he is. His snobbery rivals even the worst people I know and he has no reason to be whatsoever. This is a guy that hasn't held a steady job in 5 years. What makes him think he's better than other people?

Bush wasn't unintelligent. In fact, his genius move was to drop the elitist, East Coast WASPy snobbery that pretty much defines the rest of the Bush clan, in favour of that "I'm a small-town hick" act.  That way his liberal opponents all went for the easy elitist attacks, allowing BUsh to maintain a populist image.

Neither is Palin. She was just tragically unprepared for prime-time. An alternative planet where Palin was never chosen as veep could have kept her as a serious political player now, rather than the laughing stock she is right now.

It is a pretty ironic instance of history though, given that the Act was drawn up by what would've been the moderate hero Democrats of that era to "defuse" the slavery debate.  Really, it is a good example of how in some situations being the most moderate person possible can backfire dramatically.

What an egotistical and prideful response. You so often lament harsh responses to your innumerable struggles, yet -- because you're on top of the world today -- you've no understanding of others'.

I struggled to find a way to say what Jesse said, but I was so angry at what Bushie wrote, I couldn't do it......kudos, J-Mann.
