I’m still wondering how Slacker can blather on about any position when he proudly mouthed that nonsense about “welcoming any immigrant so long as they are not Muslim”. He doesn’t support the constitution? How un-American! ---

Again, we are literally in the same thread where I repeatedly said I would like to take any protection of religion out of the constitution. > [@Kimstu](#): > > Already had it. No, you didn’t. Or you lied. The fact is that if I had any real doubt that her marriages involve some kind of technically illegal shenanigans, I would not encourage people to believe otherwise, no matter how much I dislike her. ---

“And here we have House Resolution 9699, sponsored by SlackerInc, whereby we declare that Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota’s 5th congressional district gives us all the heebie jeebies due to her murky marital history. All in favor?” ---

> [@SlackerInc](#): > > Again, we are literally in the same thread where I repeatedly said I would like to take any protection of religion out of the constitution. No, you fucking moron. You are not wishing to take any protection of religion out of the constitution. You only want to take protection of Islam out of it. You clearly stated that you would welcome any immigrant _other than Muslims_. Newsflash, you fucking moron: Muslims are what those who practice the religon of Islma are called. Fuck it. The fucking moron is back on the ignore list. Life is too short to see this much stupid in one such small mind. ---

How did you earn that “science advisor” tag while being so bad at basic logic and evaluation of evidence? The two statements are not in conflict. If she’s honest, Kimstu can set you straight as we had an extensive discussion of the topic. ETA: To spell it out for you, I can be indifferent to, or at least only mildly intolerant of, the religious beliefs of non-Muslim immigrants without needing constitutional protection of their religion per se. ---

At this point, there’s far more evidence that SlackerInc is a Republican troll than Ilhan Omar actually committed a crime of any sort. ---

> [@Chisquirrel](#): > > At this point, there’s far more evidence that SlackerInc is a Republican troll than Ilhan Omar actually committed a crime of any sort. I faced this accusation before and spent a long time digging up my old posts as evidence. Fortunately I can now just recycle that case. [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21527637&postcount=44](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21527637&postcount=44) These are not just very pro forma mentions of being a Democrat or not liking Trump. It’s insane to imagine that someone who really did like him would be able to think of this stuff, but you can run any of it through a plagiarism detector and find that it is original to me. But let’s say you grant me some sort of diabolical genius in terms of being a conservative Trump supporter who manages to pretend otherwise and engages in a very deep cover operation (since 2004!) to build up some kind of credibility. If you look at my posts in the elections forum, I am advocating nominating someone like Bullock or Beto. This is not what a sabotaging Republican would do. They would try to push people towards someone they see as easier to beat, like Bernie Sanders. Yet I have opposed him more strongly than most. And why would I not just pose as a more conventional liberal with no heterodox opinions? The whole idea doesn’t make a lick of sense, and you really ought to look into Occam‘s razor. ---
