Twisted Perspective posted:

It's a phenomenon that's becoming more and more common in conservative America - voluntary segregation. It's a symptom of a totalitarian mindset and a refusal to accept alternative points of view. It's sad, but a sign of conservative decline.

Funnily enough, they still accuse liberals of being really close-minded and "having no idea how the world actually works."

My dad always gets on my case for "judging Republicans based on their extremists" and saying that "I need to grow up and respect their views" even if they're completely outlandish, asinine or outright detrimental to society.

He's just so invested in this sense of false equivalency and living in this bullshit fantasy world where "the truth is always in the middle" that it's just so frustrating to talk to him about politics, especially since he's your typical engineer dad who thinks he knows everything.

My immediate comeback to this is "I judge Republicans for tolerating their extremists because they need their votes. If you welcome racists into your party then you're no better than a racist".

Oh, I've done this. He's then like "There are still many decent people who call themselves Republicans!"

It's kinda weird how close he is to capturing the same vocal cadence as Rush Limbaugh.

Oh, man, I remember posting about this kid in the old Idiots on Facebook thread. I remember he took down his "Obama is making kids gay!" YouTube after a left-leaning news site featured that video in an article and shamed him something good.

Megyn Kelly is occasionally fairly progressive (for Fox, at least) when it comes to women's issues, but she's still mostly an awful shill on everything else.

Yeah, she has some good moments (e.g. "Is this math that you as a Republican do to make yourself feel better?"), but most of the time I know not to listen to her.

I think Bruce Bartlett once said this, but there's a new fairness doctrine: false equivalence (as you can see by Never.More's posts). "For every Democratic opinion the news shows, they show a Republican opinion and present it as equal, even if the Republican is lying his rear end off" or something like that.

If you're anything like me, you probably spent the waning hours of your Sunday evening asking yourself, "What has brilliant political prognosticator Dick Morris been up to since ~~accurately predicting a Romney landslide~~ election night?" Wonder no more, friends. It turns out our friend Dick has taken up the glamorous job of...uh...posting self-filmed videos in various rooms in his house.

Dick graciously shares his expert knowledge with videos such as "Backdoor Gun Control: Ammo Purchases", "Obama surrenders to terrorists!", and of course, "Stop losing elections"

The comments are mostly meh, but one patriot cuts to the heart of the issue:

It sure is, Suckmeister005. It sure is. God bless you, Dick Morris!

FAKE EDIT: After typing all that up, I went back to the channel page and saw he's been doing this for two years

Also you can learn how to draw a dog

If there's anything I've learned from seeing PewDiePie, it's that Dick can probably make millions off of asinine vlogging :negative:

He was like "Barack Obama, father of the welfare state" and "I'm sure there are a lot of Republicans in this room, you just don't talk about politics because you don't want to go against the majority!" It was amazing how he'd launch off on tangents about THE EVIL NOBONGOMER and LIEBRULS while talking about Locke and Rousseau and whites massacring blacks :freep:

So I caught a little bit of Herman Cain today.

He seems to have real hard on for Obamacare, but in addition to that, he was beating the perennial dead horse of lowering corporate tax rates and de-regulating so that jobs. He had a little rant about single payer too, citing a case in the UK where a woman got her boobs done paid for by the UK's supposedly single payer system (it's not single payer) and then changed her mind because they were too big and now she wants the government to pay to have her boobs shrunk back down.

This was presented with the ultimate level of seriousness as to why single payer is bad. First of all, the UK doesn't have single payer health care, so there's that. Second of all, there were no citations or sources given as to whether this story is even true or the details surrounding it. Lastly, Herman cited this story as if it was commonplace and amounted to an epidemic in a single payer system, rather than the anomaly that it probably represents once you learn the whole story.

How does Herman Cain not know that the UK does not have single payer health care though? They have a combination of private and public options.

A ton of American conservatives are pretty painfully clueless about the rest of the world. Remember last year, when fuckloads of conservatives were talking about how they'd move to Canada or the UK or Australia or wherever to escape Obamacare?
