I AM always rung.
Another rung on his latter.
Another Bricker, the stall.
Right, which they did because they knew it would reduce minority voting, correct?
Glad you agree. So the fact they tried to restrict minority ability to vote earlier means nothing, right?
Good for the governor!
They sure did. But why did they request it?
Well, that’s just awful.
Surprise!
What an asshole.
Apparently everyone involved in the discussion is dense. Including this guy:
Also the appellate court:
So much density…
Suppose I decided that all of my future SDMB posting was going to be written in an incredibly dense academic style, with super-long sentences, and every obscure and pretentious SAT word I could possibly imagine.
I think that in general, we like to think that it’s admirable for people to have a good vocabulary, and admirable for people to be able to parse very long sentences. And yet, I’m certain that this new posting style would vastly decrease the likelihood that any one of my posts would actually communicate any new information to anyone, or convince anyone of anything. (Although it might actually increase my odds of meaningful communication with you…) So if I did that, and suddenly no one actually got what I was talking about, should I kvetch about how unworthy all the other posters were? Or should I realize that while I wasn’t doing anything technically wrong, I was doing something that severely lessened my likelihood of the communication that one assumes was my goal.
I think it really comes down to what your goal is in posting on the SDMB. I sometimes feel (cheerfully acknowledging that this is just 5-cent pop psychoanalyzing of someone I’ve never met) that your goal is not to actually really communicate with people, or have any chance of changing people’s minds, but just to win points with some imaginary debate judge who is reading the SDMB and awarding merits and demerits. Would you rather phrase your posts such that your “opponents” are fuming and sputtering and insulting you and thus not actually scoring cogent points; or phrase them such that even the liberals who are predisposed to disagree with you and even dislike you at least clearly understand what your position is and what they’re arguing against?
(Emphasis mine, mine, all mine, bwa-hah-hah…)
From the HuffPo story on the case, here…
Don’t feel a comment is necessary, but if anyone does, they are welcome to make it.
The stupidity is strong with you.
Rather than squirting out your hypocrisies and whines, maybe you should take a little quiz so we can see if you’re even as well-informed as the average Doper.
- Which Party receives support from a majority of Americans with PhDs?
- Which Party has the most high-ranking members who don’t believe in evolution? Don’t believe in AGW?
- Compare the intellectual content of the typical discourses of the two Parties. Which convention had the more intellectual roster of speakers?
Lies, snide whines, and fact-free rants flow from your orifice like uncontrollable diarrhea. Try some Imodium®.
Bricker’s painted himself into a corner, here. We could be polite, withhold further scorn and let him acknowledge the inconsistency in his statements, if that’s not too stereotypical of liberal coddling.
We could…
That’s it. Or, as Charlie Sheen would put it, “Winning!”
Never makes any difference. Boy is a stubborn as an opinionated boulder.
Ever notice when some guy comes along in one of the longer threads, seems like he wants to be the Bricker Whisperer? Like he’s got stage four Broderism. If only Bricker were spoken to respectfully, without antagonism or snark. Listen to his points and offer cordial criticism and polite disagreement, and a perfectly cromulent discussion will arise. All very nice, tea and crumpets, roses and hashish.
Never lasts. Sooner or later he wears them down. Point being, he has a lasting impact on them, but he isn’t even dented! Plus ten Silver Paladin Armor of Crystal Vanadian Steel. Even Phandal’s Excellent Prismatic Spray is just so much dazzle dust!
Rock of Gibraltar, standing by the water, and it shall not be moved, either.
I’m more of a befriender than a whisperer. For a few years now, this thread’s been my personal guilty pleasure. I fire up my browser, and see “I Pit the ID-demanding GOP voter suppressors” has new posts, and I clap my hands and exclaim, “Yay, the Bricker show is on!”
This last couple weeks have been in our slow season, so I’ve had a bit more time for non-productive diversions. I had no expectations of actually changing anyone’s minds, I was just poking and prodding to get a better idea of what makes my favorite drama character tick. I do feel I better understand his motives and goals, so it has been productive for me.
The N.Y. Times, America’s libtard pinko pro-terrorist paper of record, offered its opinion on Republican vote suppression.
I’ll try to save our Esquire Bricker a click by outlining the immorality of the N.Y. Times.
Nowhere did these libtards mention confidence in the integrity of electoral outcomes. :smack: If I were a white supremacist I would certainly have less confidence in voting outcomes if the fine sheriff of Sparta weren’t vigilantly striking blacks from the rolls. Wasn’t it the famous jurist William Blackstone who wrote "“It is better that a hundred eligible blacks be disenfranchised than that one homeless soul be suffered to vote”?
Some complain that the Voting Rights Act was overturned by a narrow 5-4 margin. These immoral Hannity-hating oafs can’t do simple arithmetic. The vote was 2003-4. Of course the votes of Scalia and Thomas, the two greatest legal scholars since Hammurabi, should count 1000 each.
The North Carolina Republican party just can’t help themselves.
They really, really want fewer early voting opportunities, no Sunday voting, and no college campus voting.

Clearly, this will make voter confidence skyrocket.
Nice to see liberal racists (an oxymoron) continue to loudly proclaim that blacks and other minorities are too stupid to get photo IDs. Have their hoods arrived back from the cleaners yet?
Dennis Miller, look out! Aliensshow is here with the snappy lines!
Polling North Carolina Trump supporters…
Would it be better if the Republicans of NC wanted to suppress black voters because they vote Dem rather than simply because they are black? Is that a step upward, toward the post-racial Republican Party?
“We allow both kinds of voters: Republicans AND Conservatives.”
It’s ***Bricker ***making that claim here, not liberals.
Go do your homework, kid.
That would involve, y’know, thinking and looking at facts and stuff. That’s difficult for some people.
Maybe look up what “oxymoron” means while you’re at it.
