AMERICAN conservatism. Conservatism in North Korea is a good thing, as was conservatism in the former USSR.
The conservatives were in charge in the USSR and still are in North Korea.
Well yes, but he has to backtrack so frequently, you’d think he’d learn by now.
Yeah, conservative doesn’t mean, in those places, exactly what it means here.
I suppose I should clarify and say “free-market capitalists”.
On another note, Bricker, you are a giant racist…or at least you imitate one pretty skillfully.
I bet Bricker contributed money to Zimmerman’s defense fund.
Naaah, I don’t really believe that.
The people who actually do that make Eric Robert Rudolph and David Duke look like Mohandas Gandhi and Albert fucking Schweitzer.
Bricker’s just your garden-variety hater-of-other-races. Isn’t that right, Bricker?
What, exactly, do you base that on?
You gotta use a harpoon & tow cable, then circle around him a few times.
Enough with the Partisan Immaturity. “Hey, your side does it, too!” is not something mature adults use as a debating point.
(It’s almost worth its own Pit thread, titled “Yeah, well, Romney hates the poor, but what about Chappaquiddick?”)
Walker was just on TV in Madison, and I expected him to be gloating, but he was offering to invite all the legislators, D’s and R’s, over for a cookout to discuss how to work together, and to air their issues: “Hey, this is Wisconsin-- they can’t turn down brats!”
He’s being a grownup. Maybe we should try it, too.
Is there really anyone here who holds that opinion? Anyway, here you go, if you need something to validate your thesis:
One more pass…
I’m really tired of the whole “let’s pick a couple handfuls of tweets from functionally retarded people to prove that [Democrats/Americans/Justin Bieber fans/Tea Partiers] are really [stupid/obnoxious/hateful]” thing. OMG, 20 people didn’t know who Paul McCartney was! OMG, 20 people thought it was OK that Chris Brown beat up on Rihanna! OMG, 20 people want to beat up Scott Walker!
OMG, I totally don’t give a shit what 20 random idiots said on Twitter! Twitter is the functional equivalent of a room filled with an infinite number of monkeys. Any bullshit thing that you want to find support for, you can find it there. I could probably find 20 people who legitimately want to elect their cat as the next president. Who cares?
Cats.
Wait, really ? And we had to limit them to 140 characters. DAMMIT, Internet ! Why can’t you get anything right ? Now we’ll never get the complete works of Shakespeare !
Well, you gotta economize. 2b r ~2b, thts qstn…
You too, SDMB newbie who has chosen this as his first post!
We’ll be classy together.
Hippies don’t tweet. We vibe.
I know Bricker has retracted, but it’s worth restating that the online shenanigans of a handful of poorly-educated, poorly-informed lefty anons is *nothing *compared to the outright bullshit pulled and/or publicly condoned by right-wing politicians. There is no equivalence to be had, although logic has never stopped Republican pundits from trying.
Luckily you can source that elsewhere. I think it’s when you play Pink Floyd albums backwards.
And thanks for stopping by.
I swear, it’s like the Internets can read my mind. Every time I start to toy with the idea of signing up to Twitter - just to follow a few people I’m interested in, mind you - something like this comes along to remind me that the world is full of the sort of illiterate morons I come to this board to avoid.
So thank, Bricker. You’ve saved me from my own folly.
Liberal fascists don’t seem that scary to me. They don’t want guns. They’re all granola eating, vegan, pacifist stoners. They recoil in horror from christianity. If your country gets taken over by liberal fascists, you didn’t deserve it anyways.
I know that stereotypes are lazy humor, but it’s been a long week.
Oh, sure. But do you REnounce them?
