I've found some really good source of extreme right-wing dialogue is to find a fast-food place that does breakfast that gets a table of 3-6 retirees who sit around all morning with their coffee and bitch about government, Obama, Democrats and everyone/anyone who isn't them..Acelerion posted:The conservative over sexualization of women is something that always bothered me as extremely hypocritical. Not quite the same thing, but back on my fast food thing, a few years back I was in one and a guy comes up to me and starts trying to talk politics, starts talking how he never thought he'd vote for a woman president but he'd vote for Palin because she'd make a great president, starts asking about favorite music and my favorite president, how Clinton and Obama ruined the country, etc. I was really not wanting to have this conversation. However, in the midst of this, he starts talking about how loving disgraceful it is for girls to show up at church dressed up with a lot of make-up and short skirts and it's offensive. But he really gets lingering on that for a little too long, and his tone quickly went from one of being offended to sounding like he was aroused by his own descriptions of how slutty girls dressed these days.

To me it's not even shocking anymore when you run into stuff like the conservative slut-o-phobia/mania and people who've transposed lust into anger/projection. It's shocking that people in America have been struggling with puritanism, sexual frustration and the national kink for sex to always be dirty and secret, and then still don't recognize behaviors like this for what they are, but the actual behaviors are so commonplace it's almost cute when you run into someone so wound up and confused by their own poo poo that they do stuff like get hot and bothered while they protest too much about those darn skirts. I suspect many problems in our populace would go away if we somehow convinced everyone that jacking/jilling off wasn't the worst thing ever.

King went well beyond being a paramour. I mean, they lived together and, by all accounts, were treated as a couple. Andrew Jackson, as you can well imagine, didn't much like minorities (racial, sexual, religious -- didn't matter, he hated 'em all) and had a lot of choice words to say on the relationship.

That's what I'm saying, those are the very obvious reasons....but those same reasons also cause a vast portion of our population to either pretend or believe that there aren't obvious causes to point out. Even when our mass denial runs into something like the LA spree shooter we still avoid addressing the idea that the dudes hosed up view of sex contributed to his mentality on anything but the most surface level i.e. he was mad at women so he killed them, and some other people. Like okay that's a basic reading about it but why and how does a guy that age not know that EVERYONE had a time in their life when they were young and not getting laid? Why does he have access and a prediliction towards a library of MRA and PUA bullshit but not more realistic and healthy discussions about sex and getting laid? Monkey Fracas posted:Pffft sounds like fuckin' bullshit to me, man. Now let us brighten the mood with some Wholesome TV Violence!

My work place sucks. At any given moment, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh AND Sean Hannity are all playing. At the same time. Loudly. Like, the people listening to it will constantly turn it up so they can hear it over the other persons. And my current job requires me to review audio for tiny defects. I'm honestly considering quitting.

It's always Monday, Wednesday and Friday this summer where the guys who work at the front desk in the weight room have the TV set to Fox, even though as far as I can tell they don't even watch it and just browse Facebook. At least pretty much none of the eateries surrounding my university play Fox, though (it's always local news channels or ESPN for the ones that actually have TVs).

Ahahaha a Facebook friend just posted this Peggy Noonan articlePeggy Noonan posted:What is happening at the southern border is a true and actual crisis. News accounts justly use words like chaos, collapse and breakdown. They feature images of children—toddlers, 4- and 5-year-olds—being shuffled to warehouse holding centers, sleeping crowded at night on what look like pallets, covered only in Mylar blankets. "I never thought we'd have refugee camps in America," said Texas Sen. John Cornyn, "but that's what it's appearing." There are two groups who feel alarm, the poor kids who are dragged here against their will, and the poor racists who don't want Hispanics around. Peggy Noonan posted:They know America can't pay its bills. They fear we're living on the fumes of greatness. They want us to be strong again. Watching our border collapse doesn't look like a harbinger of progress. I mean we could have given each of these hundred thousand children $1,000,000 and it would still cost us less than blowing up Iraq war like she wanted to so bad. Peggy Noonan posted:Here it must be said that those who live comfortable lives can afford to roll with the historical punches. But people who are not affluent live closer to the ground, and closer to the country's deterioration. The rougher America becomes, the more they feel the abrasion. They're not protected.  "The affluent just don't understand the struggles of the poor" says the affluent white woman as she argues to kick helpless refugee children to the curb for the crime of annoying her with their existence. Peggy Noonan posted:The latest border surge has been going on for at least two years. Children and others are coming because they believe that under the president's leadership, if they get here they'll get a pass to stay. (They're probably right.) This was predictable. Two years ago Texas Gov. Rick Perry wrote the president that the number of unaccompanied children was spiking sharply. He warned that unless the government moves, other minors would attempt the journey and find themselves in "extremely dangerous situations. If only Obama would be more cruel to these children than the miserable conditions they're fleeing! Then they wouldn't come here! Peggy Noonan posted:There is every sign he let the crisis on the border build to put heat on Republicans and make them pass his idea of good immigration reform. It would be "comprehensive," meaning huge, impenetrable and probably full of mischief. His base wants it. It would no doubt benefit the Democratic Party in the long term. Don't feed the little turds, they won't vote for me! Peggy Noonan posted:The little children in great danger, holding hands, staring blankly ahead, are pawns in a larger game. That game is run by adults. How cold do you have to be to use children in this way? God, what a horrible witch. I thought she believed America was a Christian Nation but I guess that's only when it comes to bashing gays and owning women, not succoring refugee children.

Gawker's Hamilton Nolan had a great breakdown of that Noonan column.Hamilton Nolan posted:This is how Peggy Noonan thinks normal people think: just like Peggy Noonan, in the midst of a gin-soaked afternoon fever dream, four Xanax deep, beset by visions. Is that you mother? I'm home again. Home in America. A squealing boiler. Nightmare children. Squirrels and hornets. Buzzing! Buzzing! Buzzing, attacking, advancing upon my castle, my home, my fortress! The police can do nothing. The children, they stare with dead eyes, needy. Children of the corn—Mexican corn.

This is an excellent example of why Obama shouldn't go the border, probably shouldn't do anything other than renew calls for money to help fix the problem. Yes it is a crisis, and not just because the GOP says it's a crisis. Yes it's a humanitarian disaster. But who are the victims? Seriously? There's nobody that Obama can show sympathy towards and not create a poo poo storm. He can call for compassion and charity for the children but he can't actually embrace them because they are in fact refugees with no legal status. He's sure as hell not going to sympathize with the crazies calling for their extermination as vermin. It's a really screwed up issue, a classic rock and a hard place.

You can imagine how enraged these totally not racist and sane people get when they realize this uppity negress who once said a mean thing about America is basically what they've spent their entire lives demanding the FLOTUS be.
