Sharkie posted:Yeah Bush was an idiot; his performance was designed to hide his class signifiers, not his supposed intelligence. There's overlap between how those two aspects are signified but they're, at a fundamental level, not the same. This is exactly what the Duck Dynasty guys have done as well, because a lot of people who watch that show probably wouldn't buy in to the bullshit if it was filmed in mansions or at country clubs.

The movie is a very interesting if kind of loose take on the story. But it still has a good message. A hardcore environmental one that literally has Noah say at one point "we must stop reproducing and/or kill this pregnant woman so we don't sully the innocent creatures (animals) again".

Hmm yes, things are exactly the same as 100 years ago, when the Ku Klux Klan had hundred thousand strong rallies outside of the White House and segregation was institutionalized in all levels of government.

The funniest thing about the story of Noah's ark is that the majority of christians don't even know what's it's really about. You'll get the common poo poo about a boat and two of every animal but ask the common GOPer who bloviates about christianity about the Watchers or nephilim and you'll get blank stares. poo poo, the movie Noah is more accurate than the disney-fied version of the story nowadays.

Cheney supposedly has said that one of his greatest worries is that in the future historians will labelled him just that, which he apparently thinks would be unjust or at least unwelcome for, despite being an almost literal comic-book supervillian, he's aware that generally the name "Pinochet" tracks badly with most non-sociopaths. Guess what I'm planning on for the title of my first political biography, go on guess.

Bad examples, both phenomena were recent developments 100 years ago, largely as a result of the racist policies and public stances of Woodrow Wilson. He summarily turned around the long standing and before then undisputed policy of racial integration in the Federal civil service, and his openly racist attitudes helped to normalize and speed along the revitalization of what had been an almost completely defunct KKK. History does not run in a straight line towards progressivism and it is dangerous to see it that way.

A couple hours ago someone leaked a giant ~100 slide internal Bush campaign Powerpoint presentation to US News outlining goals, strategies, and data. Internal polling data, ad strategy, vote goals -- really interesting stuff and I'm sure he's livid it got leaked. http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/run-2016/2015/10/29/jeb-bushs-campaign-blueprint He also has a small section on pages 19-21 dedicated to attacking Rubio. No one else gets slides devoted to them:    I haven't had time to dig through the whole thing yet but there's good stuff in it. Aerox fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Oct 30, 2015 |
