The Seriously? Theatre of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts V

Mild FF. I'd outright admire him if he didn't essentially make himself president for life. I admire his piety and zealous defense of Christianity while our pathetic leaders in the godless West worry more about not offending minorities than fighting terrorism and promoting the values that made the West great in the first place. For centuries, Russia was the bulwark of Christendom, and under Putin, she is fulfilling her destiny once more.

Had a feeling this might end up here, and frankly, I'm honored.

[Santander]

I don't know many white working class people, and try to avoid them when I can, but it wouldn't surprise me if Atlas were as clueless about them as they are about my people.

[Santander]

Honestly, I sometimes intentionally write in ways that I know will end up here, and I'm honored when I see my posts here.

Arkansas will probably vote similarly to Utah. If Clinton wins by enough to win Utah (maybe by 10-15 points nationally), then she could win Arkansas as well.

[Santander]

I want to point out that Hillary extremists hacks are apparently  running the Atlas forum.  This thread/story should be in the 2016 presidential section.   It has Clinton foundation corruption all over it.   It was moved here to bury it.

My god, I don't even know what to say about that.

[Santander]

Our thread's namesake is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

People insult the KKK all the time but although I too am white I don't feel personally offended or threatened by it.  Neither should hispanics feel personally offended or threatened by rhetoric against illegal immigration.  Both groups are criminal subsets of the population that just happen to be dominated by a particular ethnic group.  If someone went on TV and said the KKK were a bunch of rapists and murderers I would say, yes that's right they are, not go "oh no, he said something mean about some white people, all my white friends and family members are being threatened."  If hispanics insist on taking it to mean them anyway that's their problem, not Trump's.

My God, I'm a regular here, but I clearly have a long way to go to catch up to this...

now we see how she get colored votes. on the other hand it is nothing unusual to see clintons cooperate with mafia.

Don't know who that kid is but

A) He doesn't use capital letters
B) He's a borderline racist

[Santander]

It might be politically incorrect to say nowadays, but cultural homogeneity does play a part in the success.

Finland and Sweden are very similar societies, but until very recently a major difference has been the fact that Sweden has had a substantially larger immigrant population. While Finland has been number 1 in education comparisons among European countries, Sweden's results have been abysmal by comparison. With the numbers of immigrants now rising rapidly in Finland as well, I am certain that our results will go down too.

When part of the students in the class have difficulty speaking the common language, they aren't going to excel at tests.

Not saying it's the only issue, though. Respect for the teacher's profession (and the high academic qualifications required of teachers) and the fact that almost everyone goes to a public school matter as well. The phenomenon of wealthy parents sending their children to private schools has been basically non-existent here.

It depends on where the immigrants are coming from, and their socialeconomic class. In Canada the largest source is Asia and they consistently do better academically than whites. I bet well off Muslim immigrants do better than natives where as refugees do worse, as well.

And people say I'm racist.

I never really understood why Obama wanted to win Indiana.

It was next door and polling looked promising.

It was interesting that he won, considering how Republican the state is. VA & CO also used to be safe for Republicans but now are key swing states.

The entire nation, like our entire planet Earth, is slowly trending more "liberal."
This is nothing new, and completely transparent.
Think about it ..... for thousands of years, nations, governments and especially laws and rights, have all trended more and more "liberal" as time continues to tick.

Just... wow.

[Santander]

What about the young people who vote Republican? Is there such an animal? Is the Republican party attracting the youth vote at all? I'm so curious about how Bernie attracted them. It wasn't about the Dem party, it was about what his message was all about. The Republican party doesn't appear to do anything to attract the young vote, or the female vote for that matter.

I have said this before ....
In our world, our nation and our communities, we are ALL becoming slowly and more and more "liberal" as time continues to tick. Because information is easily available online and on our phones, we learn more easily about different cultures and people, and thus become "more accepting."
And the earlier in life we are exposed to this (as children), the more of a chance that you will follow an ideology that is more liberal as an adult (and then the more of a chance that you pass-on and educate your own children, with this same ideology and acceptance.)
This trend will not change.

I hate to say it, but the Republican Party is not a party of "accepting" different cultures and people. The GOP is stuck in the 1950's or 1960's. Members of this party continue to use vocabulary and statements, time and again, which refuses to embrace anyone who is not white, Christian and heterosexual.

Most young people today, don't "get this." They see and become friends with someone different from them, and don't have a problem. It's older generations that are stuck in time, and refuse to change. Luckily all of us old bastards, die off ..... and we leave the next generation to govern and make laws that allow ALL PEOPLE their right to live and be accepted in society, equally.

God, here we go again.

Good Post Gallery is that way ----->

Yeah, so that explains why there are fewer religious minorities in the Middle East now than there were 50-100 years ago, right?

Let's just put it all here.

[Santander]

Hurray! If there is a god, thank you for taking Scalia when you did. This is a great decision and a great day for our country.

[Santander]

They're heading in that direction, which is a great thing.

My dream is for the political parties to essentially become one party that has all the racists, sexists, homophobes, xenophobes, and another assorted bigots, and one party that is everybody else. Obviously, the former would be the new Republicans and the latter would be the new Democrats. Essentially, the Democrats poach away people like Torie, ShadowyAbyss, and RINO Tom, while losing people like Santander (this process has been in place and accelerating for decades now, but I'd like it to to quickly finish.) Basically, make the Republican Party an out and out hate group, and make it impossible to hide behind any vaneer of "muh fiscal responsibility" or whatever other crap. Make it a binary choice between the party of hatred and the party of non hatred. It would be very great to see just how much we're dealing with when we see what share of the vote this new Republican Party gets. I realize the Democrats would have to make some compromises on the economic issues in order to ensure the coalition remains intact, but that's a small price to pay in order to ensure that those people never get any power. We'd remain a pro-choice party of course as well, but we'd have to make some reasonable accomodations for the genuinely religious yet not outright hateful and bigoted (Mormons would be a Democratic voting bloc in this scenario, for example.) Here would be an example of a generic D vs. R map:

[Santander]

I have to say, of the liberal Democrats in the Senate, I find myself agreeing with Feinstein fairly often.

Why the hell man?  What do you have against a good bit of 420?  Seriously, if you did pot regularly maybe you wouldn't be this uptight, angry, racist as hell person that you are.  You seem to have a lot of issues and take it out by blaming Mexicans, Moslems, blacks, upper class white progressives (okay, can't really hold that one against you, those people are really faggy), homosexuals, transgenders, and that one girl who wouldn't blow you on prom night for the problems in this country.  Just go to downtown Louisville and ask for Skillet.  He'll fix you up, mannnnnn.

Yes, I am the anti-gay person here.

Yes and right after it I get onto you for beating up on the gays .

Sorry bro, I don't subscribe to your general upper crust liberalism.  I admit, I should probably say the word "faggy" less often, I'm not an angel. It's not politically correct and is more of a consequence of my upbringing (working class German-Irish Catholic with an alcoholic da in the Midwest, yeah you peckerwoods aren't the only people with issues).  My best friend is gay and I visit him and his boyfriend in Buttfuck, Missouri every once in awhile to get drinks in Kansas City.  One thing I will say though is that unlike these polite motherfuckers on here I will tell you to your face when you are being a useless racist piece of shit who could really use more weed.

And frankly you need to try harder than picking out one word in a sentence and going NU-UH-UH-UH~!  It's all about context you person you.  Of course, the lot of you conservatives down in this part of the country seem to believe that racism died with the Civil Rights Act, so I'm not shocked that you are pulling the so-called PCnonsense that you accuse left wing liberals of doing all the time because you think it's racist to call a black guy a "n" but it's not at all racist that they are overwhelmingly more likely to be arrested and shot than white people because of structural flaws like drug laws and anti-liberty policing "reform"laws.  So yeah, I shouldn't have said "faggy" when I could've said "effete", "prim", "proper" or whatever shit words could've conveyed the same image of upper crust entitled white shitheads who bitch about the environment while riding around in their bigass SUVs and throwin their styrofoam Starbucks cups out the window.

I'm not an angel.  Also do pot.  You need it.

Perhaps it's sort of bad form to post this here, as it was a reply to my post, but I feel it's worthy of inclusion regardless.

[Santander]

Oh yeah that's another thing, I'd never join a religion or church that's primarily rules and legalism-based and about following orders that some other people have decided is the way of God. I'd probably excommunicated if I was a Mormon, thank God.

Worst. Post. Ever.

Even by BRTD standards...

[Santander]

The only people who care about VP picks are the people with political involvement greater than voting. Kaine isn't going to appeal to low-information moderates, Warren wasn't really going to appeal to low-information lefties.

As a high information lefty this is where I get off the bus. HT, will write in another ticket.

Try again in 2020.

[Santander]

Yes. Consequences have actions.

So, if a man impregnates a woman as a result of consensual sex and she becomes, say, permanently disabled as a result of this pregnancy and/or as a result of the subsequent childbirth, should this man be forced to pay financial compensation to this woman? Completely serious question, for the record.

[Santander]

Context:

Idk, probably Socialist, but she also fits pretty well in the Libertarian or Green party.

Yeah, because this post was clearly 100% serious.

Bad jokes are bad posts.

[Santander]

I would think this describes my attitude toward social issues, but I am not sure if questioning such a fundamental position bars me from being a true Scotsman.

Depends on how you define social conservative.  I'm pro-choice and I consider myself socially conservative.  I think there should be at least two categories of social conservative a mean one and a nice one.  The nice ones leave other people alone as long as those people leave them alone.  The mean ones want to run everyone's lives.

I don't like abortion but I realize clamping down on it does more harm than good.  I would much rather have good sex ed and free contraception.  There is nothing "conservative" about lying to teenagers and restricting their access to contraception.

Honestly we would have a much calmer well ordered society if better sex ed and free contraception was available.  I simply don't see how having a bunch of broke uneducated people spitting out babies in tumultuous relationships makes society more "conservative".

[Santander]

I love how JCL insists he is a libertarian when he wants to regulate moral behavior in the name of the "national order."

He's a conservatarian like Cruz or Rand.

[Santander]

The greatest baseball team in American history.

They are hated because "New York" is a codeword for all things "sinful" and "foreign", as Lee Harvey Cruz said in the primaries. The haters can pretend its about the Yankees having too much money but we all know what its really about.

The worst teams in baseball are the Red Sox (Pedro Martinez attacked Don Zimmer on the field) and the Atlanta Braves (John Rocker's infamous rant against NYC).

Jesus...

[Santander]

YOU are the reason why they are victims. If it weren't for the amount of anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States, then nobody would even think of Islam in relation to terrorism, except for 9/11.

You can't be serious....

I did go overboard. But, seriously, there's little if anything that makes Islam itself more prone to creating terrorism than other religions. It is the fact that they have been in so much conflict, both internal and external. Christians have done the same thing

[Santander]

I actually don't dislike Hillary, as she's had to put up with the world's worst husband who just happens to be a real people's person while she comes across more rigid; sometimes I feel for her.  However, I don't fall for the narrative that she's remotely centrist or pro-business on economic issues, so I think she has pretty terrible views, and she's obviously crooked as the day is long.

I despise Trump for what he's doing to my party and the disgusting campaign he's run.

Um, what's wrong with this?

- Describing Bill Clinton as the world's worst husband with Anthony Weiner lurking just outside her closest circle
- Suggesting that Hillary has to "put up" with anything from Bill when she uses his coattails whenever she wants
- Suggesting that being "pro-business" is a desirable thing or that Hillary is not even remotely pro-business
