Holy crap, Obama being re-elected really did break the right's brain. This is going to be fun to watch. Well, people have been unironically using using the term 'bootstraps' for a very long time.

BiggerBoat posted:I was X-mas shopping in a Barnes & Noble yesterday and they had entire walls of what I can only assume is a new Oliver North book. Is this guy still A Thing or did he just have a book signing there or something because god drat. Even though I live in a pretty conservative area, I was still a little shocked at the sheer amount of books I saw by right wing authors when I was browsing the politics section. Some of the titles were loving hilarious. Yea, seeing book titles like "Liberals should be executed" is pretty disheartening. It's even worse when you know that people are essentially being told this in all of the news they watch as well. I suppose you could take solace that the left wing doesn't need a bunch of writers for them because all of the books are in the sciences section

Lord Lambeth posted:You should also point out that ex-Football players and ex-Hockey players are hitting their mid-life crisis with severe head trauma. With 20 odd years of getting smacked around I'd want as big a salary as possible. Avoid the concussion/quality of life after playing discussion entirely because a conservative will just say "What are they whining about? They knew the risks, and got paid ridiculous amounts of money for it!" But if you're already down that path, you can say "Yea, coal mining is dangerous too, but that's no reason not to give miners hard hats or some basic equipment to survive cave-ins"

Listen, liberals don't have the motherfucking time or energy to criticize the President for something he's done because thanks to the worthless loving sack of poo poo conservatives, we're too tired from your accusations about the President of things he's not responsible for.

Skeeter Green posted:I don't know what it is about libertarianism but somehow it manages to get me angrier than any other ideology. I know it isn't as awful as neo-nazism and doesn't have the same clout as conservatism but something about libertarianism just gets me riled up. I think it's the fact that it claims to be a rational, logical, thinking man's ideology but is really based upon the deification of The Market as some kind of benevolent force for the good of all. Libertarians like to pretend they're all 'progressive' on social issues because they say the government should get out of the way of personal rights. However, they're too loving retarded to realize that their ideology doesn't protect those rights. For all the horseshit they talk about rights and social issues, they've put out the blueprint for a government that can't enforce poo poo.

Because its a waste of loving time to try to reason with family members who think Obama is a socialist and that global warming is a hoax. Here's the sequence of events: 1. The shitheaded family member brings up some politically charged talking point they want to whine about 2. You point out that its bullshit 3. They throw out dumb loving links that don't prove poo poo 4. You pull out links that prove that its bullshit and they're retarded 5. They don't trust the source of the links because its from some liberal indoctrination college, or some loving retarded bullshit like that 6. You ask why your links that have more scientific consensus and do more to factually prove your position are suspect, while their retarded loving 'foundation for tea party agressive shitstaining' website has more reliable information 7. They bring out the stupid loving "It's just common sense!" argument 8. You tell them your poo poo disproves "common sense" 9. The argument either gets even more heated until people calm each side down or the retard says you can't be reasoned with because you use facts.

NatasDog posted:It's not cognitive dissonance, it's compartmentalization; which is the specific mechanism used to prevent them from feeling the discomfort of dissonance. I'm sure everyone here knows what you meant, but if you're going to call someone else out on it you'll want to use the right terms. Quoting this because it really needs to be repeated. Cognitive Dissonance is a term that a lot of people have been using incorrectly in D&D for years now. Compartmentalization is definitely the better term.

radical meme posted:But this whole line of argument and messaging from conservative radio hosts is really unsettling to me. First, they are backtracking on decades of Constitution grandstanding. They have always held up the constitution as some of kind of infallible document and suddenly they are saying its broken and has been broken for years and needs to be fixed. I don't understand how that type of 180 degree marketing can sell to anyone. Maybe my comprehension is off, but it sounds like Rush is saying that the constitution is fine, but its being trampled on.

(Barnes & Noble being the largest and the only book chain that still has stores in all 50 states, BAM has them in 31) The thing is, all bookstores I've seen are filled to the brim of conservative tell-you-what-to-think books.

Popular Thug Drink posted:Actually, the USPS service cuts are because the USPS was mandated by Congress to shovel billions of dollars every quarter into a gigantic pension/healthcare plan. I don't have a link on me but I remember last time I checked that the amount USPS was obligated to remove from operational funding every year was larger than the combined yearly net profit of both FedEx and UPS. IIRC: The USPS has 5 years to fully fund the pensions of people who haven't even been hired yet.

ToxicSlurpee posted:I kind of need to wonder how many of them have actually read Rand or given it any deep thought or, really, understand what Rand believed at all. I'm not defending Rand but generally whenever they meet a Randroid they don't understand Rand's philosophy beyond "she says I can be a selfish rear end in a top hat!" More importantly, they're almost always fat, white middle managers that don't know how to actually make anything themselves or couldn't feed themselves if society collapsed. Exactly none of them are the entrepreneurs and engineers that Rand thought were the best people in the world. Best part is most of them are pretty damned lazy, barely able to do their jobs, and only got to where they are thanks to the good fortune of being born to upper middle-class white families. I don't think we need to necessarily go down the road of detailing how useless these people are with regards to Rand's philosophy when we can just say that they aren't the type of people this philosophy is supposed to work for anyway. If you at all have to rely on wages you get from an employer: she wasn't talking about you in her book. You are not the ubermensch. That's all there is to it.

Let's assume that he does have family that dated back to the 1870's in that specific area. His family had more than enough time to make a claim and own that land he's been using illegally. So, either he's lying his loving rear end off or he's just another descendant in a long line of retards.
