Hear, hear, Rhythmdvl. Let’s keep this thread on topic.
Speaking of which, according to Tony Perkins the Secret Service prostitution scandal was caused by “…military enforcing open homosexuality”. I had not heard that the military was requiring all those enlisted to be openly homosexual. Apparently this is Sparta.
The Stoopid Lib’rul thread would be a lot shorter if it was confined to actual criticism. But we just had curlcoat and mister nyx sniping back and forth for three pages.
Actually, the “Stupid Liberal” thread, like this one, is mostly about Stupid Republican ideas.
Blame me for the numbers if you wish. If I’d known score was kept, I’d not have padded out the other thread with posts like this one:
The idea that an ovulating woman is committing manslaughter if she refuses impregnation attempts seems extreme, but also a consequence of some recent Republican legislation… I wonder if any Republican politicians are trying out this line on their aides? :dubious:
Unless it’s been fertilized. Then it’s sacrosanct until birth (or sometimes until failure to implant, but that sorta depends on whether it’s lab-grown and/or will be used in stem cell therapy). (Republican rules are complicated.)
Then you haven’t been paying attention. A statement of contempt (e.g. “I have very little tolerance for…”) for failure to do X indicates that anyone, with few if any exceptions, is normally expected to be capable of doing X.
For example, only a pretentious snob would profess “very little tolerance” for people who fail to keep track of the minutiae of food service at a fancy dinner, but most of us would have “very little tolerance” for somebody who picks up a serving dish at dinner and starts lapping out of it like a dog.
Those people are graduating with $80k in student debt, and not thrilled about it. Ms. Foxx is saying she has no sympathy for people with lots of student loan debt. That is, of course, her prerogative, but it is the prerogative of everyone else to call her stupid. This has nothing to do with whether people are succeeding.
OK thing for your campaign manager or wife to say, but when the candidate says it himself, voters may ask themselves the question: “Does this person have all his marbles? Is he paranoid?”
Not as bad as Newt’s space station on Mars promise, but more than a little bit weird.
Then the voters have to ask themselves “Am I actually PART of the vast leftwing conspiracy?” The conspiracy could be big. Really big. Like maybe even 55% of the voting public.
That Obama is so sneaky. He’s going to involve the actual voting public in his conspiracy to get elected!
