MaxxBot posted:As I stated before I don't even think he has a chance of winning, I don't care what happens to his campaign at this point. I'm just sick of the fact that it's impossible to even discuss his candidacy anywhere on these forums without you jumping in with smug, idiotic insults at every possible chance. It's pretty loving clear that rational discussion of the candidates is the last thing that you want. Stop being Fishmech'd, stop responding to him and stop quoting him so people who have taken the intelligent route of putting him on ignore still have to read his crap.

Joementum posted:Republican Super PAC uncovers the hidden truth that a man running as a Democrat is, in fact, a Democrat. The race is heating up, and I'll bet Vitter is NOT happy right now. http://theadvocate.com/news/13896377-63/louisiana-gop-chair-calls-republican After Jay Dardenne officially endorsed John Bel Edwards, LA GOP Chairman Roger Villere and Reince Priebus called Dardenne's endorsement "an act of betrayal". Villere even called Dardenne "the Nick Saban of Louisiana politics". I also just saw that Scott Angelle supporters are throwing a fundraiser for.....John Bel Edwards. (http://blogs.theadvocate.com/politicsblog/2015/11/05/scott-angelle-supporters-plan-pro-john-bel-edwards-fundraiser/) I can't believe everyone's turning against Vitter so fast. I mean, I can, but still. Listening to talk radio on the way home tonight, there were people evenly split between "Dardenne did what was right for Louisiana" and "Dardenne has always been a RINO/Obama will kill us all/Worst betrayal since Benedict Arnold".

This is from far earlier in the thread (pre-fishmech chat apparently), but re: Rand Paul on free college: If free college is bad like heroin, then where does he stand on public primary and secondary education? Does he think those should be privatized as well? Is it an imperative to shut the poor out from even attaining a basic education? How is any of this sane or consistent with free primary/secondary education? How could anyone even argue against access to pre-tertiary education?

He is still a typical American libertarian on most issues after all.

Wouldn't that just make our society even more dysfunctional if a sizable portion of the population literally do not learn basic literacy or math? Would we just go back to 1800s style politics where party machine bosses direct illiterates on how to vote? God drat, libertarians really do look back on the Gilded Age as a water mark in American history, don't they?

The good faith answer is that they believe that a completely privatized education system would out perform any public system. The bad faith answer is they don't care nor do they believe in society.

zoux posted:The good faith answer is that they believe that a completely privatized education system would out perform any public system. Strangely (or not), the "good faith answer" seems to be actively pushed in Intro to Macroeconomics courses. Anecdotally speaking, there was part of my Macro course in college focused on line graphs between private and public education and the debate on whether to focus on private education versus public based on net outcomes. Then again, libertarians seem to cull only the surface-level economics (ie the "heh  " smug rear end in a top hat part of economics and economists) and form political opinions around that limited beep-boop Ayn Rand understanding.

Meanwhile, in Israel...quote:The United States takes offense at comments by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new communications director accusing President Barack Obama of anti-Semitism and suggesting that Secretary of State John Kerry had the mental abilities of a 12-year-old, the State Department said on Thursday.

Don't worry, once Hillary is president we will go back to never criticizing Israel no matter what they do. Even if they were to start a true active genocide of the Palestinians we will continue to actively suck Bibi's dick if her recent statements are anything to go by.
