On the plus side that's the first time I've seen a Freeper acknowledge the existence of evolution. On the negative its for racism.

I don't get why these people don't understand that they would be among the first crushed under Putin's boots if he somehow took over. Have they also forgotten that Russia is one of the only countries that agreed to harbor notorious traitor Edward Snowden? There's a lot of really weird things about their mindset, but the Putin worship is one of the toughest things for me to wrap my head around. If you'd gone up to these same assholes 30 years ago and said "I respect Gorbachev a lot more than Reagan", they'd try to jail you for treason.

It's stuff like the rabid Putin-worship that tips Freepers over the edge from "just really conservative people" to "actual fascists" to me. These people desperately want a single, powerful governmental figure that seems to agree with their worldview. They want this person to give them benefits, while punishing those that they don't like. All of their whining about how free speech is dead, and how the government surveys and controls everything, goes straight out the window and is completely overridden as soon as a figure like Putin comes in and starts comparing gays to pedophiles and imprisons them. They know that, under Putin, their free speech would be curtailed, and their lives would be monitored daily. But, hey, at least those homos would get what's coming to them! I know it's more complicated than my limited analysis and knowledge on the subject, but that same desire to be "benevolently controlled" is probably one of the reasons for the whole "When Bush did it, it was okay, but now it's tyranny" trend in Freepland. It's not that they didn't know that Bush started rolling back constitutional rights and started actively spying on its own people. They were well aware; but Bush was on their side, so it was okay!

It's been said before but here goes again. Freep would be perfectly happy under an oppressive dictator so long as that dictator supported their ideas. So like a Christian version of the Taliban.

It'd be pretty hard to pick an event, but I think that's about the time that Massachusetts struck down their gay marriage ban, but it's not like that graph's precise enough to even pinpoint what year that data point is for.

quote:-- Modern man evolved in Africa from his ancient ancestors a few hundred thousand years ago. Keeping it simple, the ancestors of the blacks we know today simply stayed in the warm regions of Africa where the living was relatively easy. Basically, they didn't need to develop new skills or learn new things to survive. They could basically live off the fruits of the jungle regions. From an evolutionary standpoint, they stagnated for thousands of generations, basically until the present days. Mad Magazine used to have this awesome running bit back in the 1960s or so called "You Can Never Win with a Bigot", where they'd show the same guy saying biased poo poo in two opposite situations. The one this reminds me of is with a guy in his recliner watching football: - (black player throws an interception) See, football is a white man's game, these coloreds just don't the brains for strategy! - (black player drives through offense, scores touchdown) Of course, they're all as strong as apes! Comes from all them years of living in the jungle!

I don't know, I've seen suggestions that gay marriages initiatives polarized the electorate, bringing out voters on both sides, and it may have been a net loss for the Republicans. Al Franken wrote about a study to this effect in one of his books (The Truth: With Jokes, I think), but I don't have it on me.

Yep pretty much. Ironically, the Mass Supreme Court ruling probably set back gay rights by about 10+ years because of the backlash. There likely would have been popular votes for gay marriage at this point rather than court cases trying to overturn the reactionary gay marriage amendments we have now.

The reactionary right would/will never sit idly by and allow for a national pro-gay marriage bill. So you'd still have had to do the state-by-state process, and any serious ballot initiative would have just wound up poking the bear regardless. 10 years later, ~18 states have legal same-sex marriage, with more cases pending. Federal courts almost uniformly agree that its an equal protection issue, which means that even the reddest of red states are fair game. Its not an easy progression, but its a positive one.
