I pit all conservatives who have bought into the Halbig/King ACA trutherism nonsense

Wow. Just wow.

In a thread lamenting that the maniacal right is hoping to deny health care to indigents (which side is working toward “death squads” indeed?), our Esquire Bricker has diverted attention to the Reverend Martin Luther King’s alleged misuse of the word “inhumane.” And he’s whining that the “liberals” aren’t joining in to chastise Dr. King.

What a supreme asshole.

I’ll stipulate that Bricker’s 4th-grade debate coach drilled into him the useful trait of using words very precisely. I try to be precise when I’m writing journal articles: proofreading, rewriting, etc. But when ranting and screeding on a board like this, I just hope to avoid the most egregious of typos.

Here’s the latest Bricker garbage that led me to post here:

In another thread I mentioned that FoxNews “usually” changes the party designations of Republiopaths in scandal to “(D).” This was an incautious statement on my part – the word I meant was “often.” It turns out that Wikipedia has a list of 6 instances of FoxNews doing that;

@running_coach

Yes.

likely they missed others; does anyone think such errors were not deliberate?

The interesting story is Fox’s reprehensibility; with a pattern like that all good-spirited Americans should be envouraging a mass boycott of that network. But what aspect turns on the Brickhead?

@Bricker

That site provides several examples, but does not support the claim that it is a “usual” practice.

Stupid septimus used “usual” instead of the better “often” or “typical”. Bricker would have beat septimus in the 4th-grade debate society! Ha ha ha. Nadder nadder nadder!

What a pretentious constipated twit.

@Bricker

Maybe he’s tired of a board where silly arguments are left alone when they come from liberals and challenged when they come from conservatives.

Point us to a specific “silly argument” and we’ll comment. I have no problem with Dr. King’s use of “inhumane.”

“Inhumane”, much more so than words like “usual” or even “typical”, is one prone to different meanings for different people. It’s a word that inherently cannot be perceived as an objective word. You were the star of your 4th-grade debate class and you didn’t even learn about words like that??

Search shows me that I’ve used the word “inhumane” a few times on this Board. To save Brickhead the bother, I’ll quote them, and provide rancid right-wing rebuttals.

@septimus

But it seems more reasonable to blame those cops … and also retarded right-wingers whose inhumane attitudes foster bad cop behavior.

BRICKSHIT: What’s inhumane is black felons forcing the police to waste taxpayer-bought bullets. That’s why my friends and I carry guns and pay for our own ammunition. We’re ready to help out!

@septimus

Until society decides whether executions are intended to be painful revenge or humane eliminations, it should avoid them altogether.

BRICKSHIT: Maximum pain and torture. That’s the humane way to treat inhumane criminals.

@septimus

I don’t know about Denmark, but in U.S. the “lifestyles” of most cows are so inhumane that the creatures, if intelligent enough to form such a judgment, might welcome an end to their tedious life, whether in a death that takes 10 seconds, or one that takes 30 seconds. (I’ve read that a main slaughterhouse torture for cows is waiting in queue after they’ve figured out what’s happening.) To focus on that possible 20-second difference, especially since the evidence is unclear and it could go either way, strikes me as bizarrely stupid. It’s the kind of lame-brained reasoning that gives fodder to right-wingers who think “liberals” aren’t very smart.

The legislation seems so silly from an animal-rights perspective, that I wonder if it’s actually intended instead as a jab at non-Christian religions.

BRICKSHIT: Bravo! “Liberals aren’t very smart”! … From the mouths of inhumane centrists!

@septimus

… So the premise that the common man fell victim to his own greed is incomplete. He had a lot of help; naive homebuyers were strongly urged to buy homes more expensive than they’d intended.

But even if your premise were correct, the conclusion is wrong. 49% of the people are below average in intelligence. To blame such average people for being victimized by con men is inhumane. It is precisely because people are imperfect, and because average people are not expected to take a college class in Bubbles and Burstings that regulation is needed.

BRICKSHIT: The bilking of the stupid was Laissez-Faire Dog-eat-dog capitalism at its finest. Transferring money from the stupid and poor to the smart is the quintessential American dream.

So Brickshit has shitted all over another thread, insulted that Martin Luther King used the word “inhumane.” Brickshit’s particular opinions about a particular word are more important than healthcare for the masses.

It’s hard to believe this pretentious dolt was once a respected poster here.
