I love when libertarians try and argue that free market/libertarian ideas are more environmentally friendly than (insert other options here). Of course when pointed to cases like this the response is usually along the lines of: "It's the regulation that makes them pollute. Cause they can pay off the regulators to keep them from not regulating them enough and ...."

I figured that the mentality of "Catholics are a cabal of pope worshiping cultists" died when Kennedy became president. It's also pretty funny that he drew them as pseudo-KKK members considering that the KKK hates/hated Catholics as much as minorities.

Dr. Killjoy posted:Also she's trans. Like Jesus loving Christ just how does that mesh with a movement that believes in the Bell Curve Hypothesis. The gently caress am I reading? Oh god, I just got to the end: quote:Universal equality and classical democracy are not synonymous with an all-purpose, lowest-common-denominator leveling of mankind. Rather, they speak only to an existential fairness in which each of us has the right to value, direct and make meaning of our own lives. This ol' chestnut. Yeah, let's not actually ensure that people are treated fairly in areas where such actions can be regulated, but assume that people are benevolent, rational actors. You know, in spite of almost all of human history where society has done the exact opposite. Using "existential" or "philosophical" in front of fairness has basically turned into a dog whistle for "don't tell rich, mostly white male, people not to gently caress everyone they can over, and blame the victims when it happens".

Post 9-11 User posted:Wait, wait, that's what the "controversy" is? Mozilla screens new employees for bigotry? No, the (now) former CEO of Mozilla donated to PACs and campaigns and such that seek to maintain "traditional marriage". People found out, and since the most public product base is internet users, and spoke out against that. Much in the same way people spoke out against/protested Chik-fil-a. The CEO stepped down over the outcry and the right wing went nuts because "OMG THE GAYSTAPPO IS BEING INTOLERANT OF PEOPLE RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH! HOW WOULD THEY LIKE IT IF A CEO WAS FIRED FOR BEING A FAG!?". Basically the same old reaction of "Why can't you tolerate my intolerance the same way I tolerate your poo poo  ".

This is such wonderful persecution porn. I've never seen people so mad that they aren't being jack booted by what amounts to American Nazi's and attacked constantly by black people. Day by Day isn't even alt-history or a dystopian future, it isn't even just alt-present fiction. It just amounts to mental ramblings akin to "If a guy busted in here with a gun I'd totally be able to save everyone. Now I'm going to day dream about how".

Why do conservatives jack off to the King James Version of the bible. The version that comes from a church created by a guy who just wanted to get his dick wet in another woman to get an heir? Mirthless posted:Asay got it right on a few comics near the end there. He wasn't a complete hardline conservative in every area. I recall he had some positive opinions about Marijuana Reform near the end of his career as well.

Ok, so baseless bullshit and ad hominem attacks. I'm sure this is going to be the tactic used to get the discussion off of her credentials as a stateswoman. In the same way that talking about Obama's birth was a way to avoid actually having to argue on his merits.

Randler posted:Not my point. My point is that the right does not has an inconsistent position when it comes to "Support Our Troops" just because they oppose Bergdahl who according to the government investigation into his disappearance (per NYT) left his post. Therefore the Bennett isn't some sick burn on Republican inconsistence in this matter. Also the right is only saying that now. There's more than a few people who have dug up posts of GOP members calling for Bergdal to be rescued and "How dare you leave our boys behind OBUMMAR!" as recently as last year who are now frothing that Obama bothered to save such a piece of poo poo. It's smoke and mirrors and if GWB or another Republican had been in power there wouldn't be any sort of controversy around this rescue. The only reason there is a story here is because it's Obama who is in office.

Acid Haze posted:Oh yes, Muir has some very enlightened views on the LBGT community. But that's not how the constitution works Muir...  I'm sure that even he himself has said "The constitution only exists to define the scope of the Federal Government's power", or something there about. But when it's something he hates he defaults to "Not in the Constitution, suck it losers." The 1st amendment just says that Congress can't make any laws restricting free practice, or establishing a religion. It doesn't.... Know what? gently caress it, I'm preaching to the choir.

Darkman Fanpage posted:Obama penis small. "Mommy I want to be an astronomer." "Whatever" Parental apathy serves to inadequately provide context to things children are not prepared to understand and fails at kindling a child's dreams and aspirations towards difficult, but rewarding, future endeavors. A good comic. Also maybe Muir has a degenerative disorder, his just taking grade school pot shots and going the CAD style of copy-paste comic making. At least earlier on he was actually drawing things and had a coherent (but terrible) story line.

^^ Everyone just thought "Space Jews" and left it at that. Fojar38 posted:Is that a negative white person caricature? There really isn't anything that you can racially caricaturize white people as. All I think when people try is that one line from a Boondocks episode "Wait, why am I mad, I'm White!" (walks off with a smile). It's one of those few areas where "check your privilege" is actually true.

Or do they just justify it with "But if I said the truth it's just racism because I'm white"?

The only point that needs to be taken from that Tolkien comic is that the author just wants to say offensive stuff and not be called on it. You could replace Tolkien with Twain, Roddenberry, or loving Plato and the message is the same as a million other anti-PC comics: "Why can't you just let me say [racial epithet/sexist taunt/culturally bigoted remark] and not bother me!?"

Tatum Girlparts posted:Also reminder that he literally made a comic about how bad he was at 'being pc' which included a line like 'so what if I want to call this black guy the spanish word for black, what then PC POLICE?!' Yeah, context is Public Enemy #1 for people like this.  :"It's Spanish for black." : "Are you Spanish? Are we in Mexico, Spain, or any other Spanish speaking country? Is the person you're calling "Negro" of Spanish decent, speaks Spanish, or have any connection to Latin America, Mexico, or Spain? Are you trying to connect the persons bad deeds to his skin color or otherwise trying to connect bad deeds done by other people to him based on his skin color? " "I never said any of that. Guess you're the real racist here!"Denying context is the only way dog-whistle poo poo even becomes dog-whistle. In context it's just plain racist but for some reason they think they can deny it just because they didn't say it.
