bash me all you want for this but I don't see why this is so bad. Less middle class people equals less reactionary politics.

Strange, considering that in the Bible, there exist pages of teachings condemning homosexuality. But, then again this is a protestant church, and the Bible of the Protestant Churches is the Communist Manifesto.

as if I'm incapable of fallibility?  there's a double standard, I don't care to flesh it out here, but it's so easy for you, you Obama voters, and everyone else in between... there's such a sence of self-worship that comes with the flag!  and yet we on the real left, the left-of-liberal, express one opinion, say one silly thing, and what do you do?  no surprise, you take it as evidence of your own righteousness.  all I say is, how easy it is to convince yourself your righteousness when every media stream, every College Board, every 101 professor, every parent at a Memorial Day parade will assent, will commend you for your feigned courage.


there's a sad fact for you sad fckers.  there is another life!  and it's understood!  it's understood by men like William Kuntsler, Ramsay Clark, Aaron Burr if we go back far enough.  they understood the flip side of this fcking dumb ass coin that you worship.  oh man, you treat me like a joke, but there's a light here, brilliant people have seen it.  if you want to see that light, come to me, come to us!  and if you don't, don't!  don't convince yourselves of some superiority, all you'll be left with is a moment, at age 50, when you stare at the wall, thinking, well, what if the road had forked in Tweed's direction...?

this quote has never been more fitting:

or maybe he's just a melodramatic, attention-whoring, post-padding 15-yr-old.

Given that I'm a gayer and stridently anti-clerical I think the Nazi's would have repulsed me.

The statement might be true because of the first bit but the bold part is rather absurd considering how many Nazis that also applied to (including Hitler).

That is a vile lie closely related to the similar ones American protonazis peddle about Hitler and Guns and especially Hitler and Abortion. He wasn't a hyper-pious Catholic Fascist a la Franco but more a standard-issue tribal/subnational identity Catholic, and on the edges of his party (especially in the early SS) some strange ideas about reviving Nordic religion played a role, but that's about it. And despite some dissent (and more whoppingly, despite the Nazis' being actually headed by a Catholic), the relationship between Evangelical Lutheranism in Germany and Nazism is best described by the word "osmosis".

The guy is an idiot.  Whatever happens to him he deserves it and the Darwin award.  If you can't keep your mouth shut don't join the Navy SEALs.  I hope the US government gives him zero protection.

I think Tim Tebow would be a good candidate if he were old enough.

This thread is terrible. People are just posting any and everything they instantly disagreed with. Tebow probably would make a fantastic candidate in the age of PR politics and space exploration is hardly a universally acceptable investment.

It tends to suck away debate as well. Why deal with a point when you can just quote it into the 'lolurstupid' bin?

This isn't quite the only position on that particular issue that wouldn't qualify for inclusion, but it's close. Tongue

This might be the first election which doesn't have a racist element.

If Obama loses, or wins with an improving economy, yes. 

Of course, the idea that the economy is improving is probably the funniest thing I've ever posted.  Smiley

Ironically, I think of this post as absurd for the exact opposite reason Lief does.

Georgia - though at this point, I'm thinking Texas might even end up being close.
