Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

As far as "Before The Hyphens Came", enjoy the second verse:

Somewhere down along the line, someone had the great idea
to divide us up by heritage, and profit from that fear
But growing up a while back, before these racial trends
Whether immigrant, or white or black, we just called each other friends
And if we spoke an extra language, it was just another way
To pledge allegiance to the flag, God bless the USA

Also worth noting is that Sanger was 100% opposed to abortion and promoted birth control in part to reduce or stop women from having abortions. This is a tidbit that anti-abortion quote miners forget to mention for some reason.

Yeah, always fun how that selective quoting works.

Although, to be fair, I'm not sure she was against it the way modern no-choice people are against it. At the time medical tech was more primitive and abortion much more dangerous. I can be 100% against war and not want young men to have to do it without maligning the character of the men who don a uniform. Likewise she could be against abortion due the dangers it posed for young women.


Actually, fun fact. The law roe struck down was not an abortion ban. It was only a ban on new fangled "surgeons" performing them and dated from before germ theory when hand washing wasn't a thing yet. A surgical abortion at the time was a great way to die a week later from purple fever. The crime was endangering her life, not terminating the fetus.

Madison Rising is apparently what you get when you take the style of music that produced songs like "War Pigs" and "Disposable Heroes" and so on and write songs that basically say "War is awesome and soldiers are better than you." And a heavy metal ode praising noted piece of poo poo Ronald Reagan, to cap off the ultimate in pro-establishment "entertainment."

The most offensive thing about that band is people calling watered-down red state radio buttrock "metal". I've heard Drake songs harder than them.

I saw this commercial earlier today and it made me crazy. None of what he was saying was appealing. I wish I could take August off and stroll to the cafe after work.

Holy crap, do these hacks just keep trying to one up each other. It's laughable and sad.

There's some local wanna be, who's apparently relegated to the Sunday night time slot and hasn't made his bones yet bitching about how "Florida gets a bad rap" (Zimmerman, Dunn, Ball) and asking callers to call in tell him what other States are worse and why.

I wanted to call in and say "Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arizona" but, naturally, that's not the sort of replies he's receiving. He actually suggested Hawaii "because it took them 4 years to round up a birth certificate."

I'll just stop right there.

Let me tell you all: if you didn't see Stossel this week, you want to tune in to FNC at 10 to watch it. I saw it last night at the gym, and I have to tell you, it's like marvelous tapestry woven entirely of bullshit. Every word that's spoken, in the entire program, is so wrong that I honestly just have no words to convey the state of incredulity that it left me in.

Also, it's "Stossel University", done with an audience of totally not prescreened college students. It's just great, seriously.

I actually already assumed that many bronies would be conservative because it seems to follow the same pattern as the anime creeps that obsess over shows with girl characters. A lot of them are weirdos that are somewhat stunted and never grew out of the crazy backwards politics of their Fox News watching parents.

It's mostly just because MLP is popular on the internet and there's a lot of edgy internet libertarians who hear things about how evil the government from some guys blog and make it their life's cause.

There also seems to be this class of Libertarian like I pointed out with the guy who messaged me on steam who look at everything thing life as a part of the "Freeloader propaganda" or "Representing resistance to freeloaders"

Probably the most genuinely bonkers thing Iv heard is "Rarity" being evil because she's part of the wealthy liberal upper class discriminating against hard working conservatives like "Applejack" :downs:
