WHITES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE REALLY OPPRESSED. Apparently he has never heard of the Latin Kings, MS-13, or biker gangs because apparently gangs that aren't black are pretty much negligible? This guy is a quintessential libertarian who has one of the biggest persecution complex's I've ever come across. He's constantly yelling about reverse racism or the apparent demonization of fat people (he is very obese).

I saw this on my feed today. I'm not even entirely sure what he's trying to say. It sounds like he's saying that either WMDs did exist because why else would the New York Times say so or that it's the New York Times' fault that Bush thought there were WMDs in Iraq? Maybe he's just trying to say that the New York Times sucks? I don't even know. Scruff McGruff fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Jul 2, 2014 |

Oh I severed a while back, we hashed it out a couple of years ago to the point where we both agreed we weren't going to change the other's opinions because we fundamentally differed on the fact that I care about others and he does not (he said that directly).

The crazy conservative Christian lady on my facebook just posted a link to this article. http://conservativetribune.com/jeffersons-response-to-islam/ How Thomas Jefferson Responded to Islam in 1801 Puts Barack H. Obama to Shame posted:The radical Islamic jihadists that make up the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria are engaged in a war to reestablish the former Islamic Caliphate and spread their version of fundamentalist Islam around the world. Because of course military tactics from 1801 would totally still work today. That's why we sent in Dragoons to Iraq mounted on steeds with lances. I also love that it's conclusion of what needs to be done to win is "confronting them and defeating them". I am also really tempted to quote the Treaty of Tripoli on the whole not a Christian nation thing too. Also, isn't Obama a secret Musilim? So he's probably studied the Koran too right?

seiferguy posted:I just had a weird conversation with a coworker. He's hard conservative, probably leans tea party. I've posted some of his facebook shares here before. The conversation started with us trash talking the SEC (college football), then it suddenly ended up talking about the new law Texas is trying to put through, which essentially makes all federal laws null and void (hint: it's to avoid federal gun laws!). He said it was a good thing since the feds have been pushing Texas around too much and it was time to take a stand. I responded with that it leads down a slippery path of civil war, but I doubt we'd get to the point of shooting each other. He said that's probably true, but that there's "disturbing" news that Army Generals were being asked if they were willing to fire on American citizens, and if they answered no, they would be dismissed or forced to retire. I just got another military worship one today about ARE BRAVE GENERALS STANDING UP TO NOBABA. Which of course has the usual recursion of The Political Insider links its source to Wounded American Warrior, which links its source to Conservative Tribune which just links to itself repeatedly. The same person also posted this which I thought was pretty funny. She alternates between insisting that because of OBAMAs failures we're all about to die from Ebola and saying "hmm, isn't it mighty suspicious that the Ebola crisis is suddenly gone?! Maybe it was just a ruse to distract us!" That's all it is too, it's not even a link to something. That is the entirety of the post on the other dude's facebook. I almost want to reply "It's not being reported by any news..." but I feel like that would just prove her point somehow.

I feel like anyone, if they just took a second to step back and be like "could this even remotely, possibly, be the tiniest bit true" they would see how ridiculous that whole paragraph is because there is zero chance of that being real. Then I think of the two crazy people I keep around on my facebook and how eager they are to believe anything negative about Obama. Especially the lady who went super "SUPPORT ARE TROOPS WHY DOES HUSSEIN OBAMA HATE OUR MILITARY!!!!" after her son (who is actually a really great, well adjusted guy) joined the army.

Mister Bates posted:I know a bunch of younger people who have joined the American Legion after getting out of the service. They all have a few things in common - they were all involved in some sort of office or clerical work, they never actually deployed overseas (not even to safe places like Japan), and they're all way more chest-thumping motivated 'HIGH-SPEED LOW DRAG HOO-AH!' than any of the actual combat veterans I know, who are mostly pretty low-key about it. Conversely, none of the combat veterans I've met want poo poo to do with the Legion. Talking to the vets I know this seems to be pretty universal. http://terminallance.com/2010/01/26/terminal-lance-7-good-reasons-to-not-go-to-the-gym/

With the American Sniper stuff I usually just try and quote the review from Terminal Lance in that, while it's an exciting war movie that is technically accurate in its portrayals of combat tactics and environments and was fun to watch, the movie missed huge opportunities to address real issues.Terminal Lance posted:American Sniper is a movie that is presented to you in a classical American truth, that assumes it is correct. It doesn’t ask any questions, and it doesn’t invite you to ask any. There is a lot to be said about the Iraq war and a man who is famous for killing 160 (confirmed) people, but the film really chooses to say nothing about it at all. Instead of a morally complex and possibly even abrasive character that we know the real Chris Kyle was, Bradley Cooper plays him with a cuddly, teddy bear-like goodness that I’m not sure makes sense in the grand scheme of things.

All anti-vax arguments are pretty dumb, but one of the worst for me are the ones that say "No one gets X disease anymore, why would we need a vaccine for it?" and never stop and connect the dots that maybe the reason no one gets them anymore is specifically because we vaccinate for it. I'm hoping I can help get her to connect the dots, she's usually pretty open to changing her viewpoint. This same lady posted a common core math macro a couple of months ago and her sister, who is a teacher, explained how it worked and why it's a good idea and by the end of it the OP was like "oh, that makes a lot of sense, cool" so maybe the same will happen here.

Ho boy... Conservative Tribute (because of course) posted:The murder of “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle is getting even more attention now that the movie adaptation of his best-selling memoir has become one of the biggest hits of the year. "He objected to the awful way prisoners were treated?! SYMPATHIZER! Also, how can he possibly have PTSD if he never saw combat?! MAKES YOU THINK!" This is one of three articles this person has posted basically saying either that Routh was secret islamic assassin (because they needed to take out glorious American hero Chris Kyle) or that his PTSD wasn't "real" PTSD and he was just a wuss.

This may be one of the worst "articles" I have seen yet posted by this lady on my facebook. She has been slowly creeping towards full-blown Muslim bigotry and frequently posts those "OMG MOSQUES/TRAINING CAMPS IN MY AMERICA" articles but holy poo poo. She is also genuinely terrified of anyone wearing Muslim garb.Conservative Tribue of course posted:Muslim “Welfare Queen” Refuses to Remove Headscarf in Court… Judge Puts Her in Her Place I do really enjoy watching her and her legitimately anarchist friend duke it out though.
