Lastly, what's with the Teabagggers' obsession with the word "moron"? Is it the universal insult that doesn't qualify as a swear word or something?

You answered your own question - but a lot of it is that teabaggers are horribly insecure about how other people look down on them, so project their intellectual incuriosity onto others.

Very much so, but not just that- I think the military mental masturbation about a civil war overlooks the dire consequences it would have on financial stability. Not just in the United States, but all over the planet. Countries undergoing rebel insurrections just aren't stable places to conduct high level business.

These people think their superior "Americanness" would instantly win the war creating a 500 year Golden Age for Christianity and Conservatism. They've no idea the type of destruction it would bring to the US.

Also, I'm sick of these people assuming every vet is going to jump on board and "Defend Are Cuntry" against the liberal hoard. gently caress them. I'll reenlist and support Obama's Islamofacist Empire of Secular Amerikastan,

Hahahahaha holy poo poo. It's like they're reinventing debate over there. "Use facts that back up your claims. Bonus points if it's facts not from Cato or some other schlock!"

On the other hand it's really sad that poo poo like "facts" and "studies" are considered loving tactics over there. That and how that guy still thinks that the point of debate is to convince somebody else of something, rather than to rationally figure out what the truth is. Also sad is that all science is grouped together into this thing that can never be refuted by a liberal, because somehow that weakens science. You know, because that's not how science, like, works or anything. It's just new discoveries and everything we think we know is never tested or disproven and replaced.

On the whole it's still way more funny than sad, though.

I hope that at least one of them goes looking for facts and when they realize there aren't any sane sources for the bullshit they believe they might doubt themselves for at least a second before going "stupid liberal bias"

Alternatively they'll just get sucked into the cato-verse or some poo poo. I think the best case scenario is they somehow stumble on Dees or something and just expand their paranoia horizons.

Occasionally I'll go looking for sources to back up something and I'll realize that all the stuff I find is some quackery or pseudo-science bullshit "study", and I feel like a horses rear end. Then I change my position.

I can't imagine how they feel.

The victim blaming and support of the rape culture is strong on TPC. I saw an image floating around on there maybe yesterday or the day before (or maybe last week, it all blurs together) that was complaining about some liberal suggesting that instead of arming everybody so they can shoot down would be attackers, we should be teaching our boys and men not to rape people.

Teaching men not to rape and about consent and what it means? = Liberal plot.

But it is man's natural instinct to want to gently caress everything that moves. It is only through female modesty that we are able to curb such animalism. In order to curb men's appetite you would have to turn men into women which is what liberals are doing. (Also it is only through Christianity that we stop wanting to bugger other men).

Solution: Make women men by giving them guns too

This might be a thing.

Imagine, you take a "spam porn" ban, and merge it with a "Rand troll" effort, and you will literally ban the account before starting it in a couple of minutes.

That, or they'll take their time... all those hot, salacious pictures of LIBERTARIANISM all over their screen... they're gonna "go Galt" all right :pervert:
