It is the first time that they have used a "correspondent" with a face so insanely smug and punchable that I don't blame the UNION THUG for singling his face out of a crowd after he got thrown to the ground.

The interesting thing about dyed in the wool conservatism is that if you claim to them that they are paranoid and distrustful, 99% of the time they agree and justify it with (INSERT ENDLESS STRING OF FOX NEWS TALKING POINTS) E: I honestly don't know how to reach someone like that. I've tried for years with my mother and there is just no way. The world is constantly falling apart and trying to destroy her. (For reference she's a Cuban immigrant who grew up in Miami, so I understand where some of the misguided fear comes from)

This obamacare is actually a good thing because it will allow the country to see exactly how corrupt the system is! This will then spur on the grand objectivist revolution where we cast off the parasites and negroes! gently caress it, why not.

The problem with libertarianism is not that it is a step toward the river of progressive change, but rather that it's a selfish and emotional eddy that people get stuck in, expand and eventually subsume others in its disgusting brackish quagmire. Libertarianism is lovely.

radical meme posted:Mark Levin has become totally unhinged lately. I think the guy is close to a nervous breakdown. He bounces from "the evil Obama is forcing his will upon the people" to "Obama is an idiot and completely incapable of doing anything right". It's truly amazing. His most recent talking point is that Obama has destroyed America's historic support and application of the Monroe Doctrine. loving really? The Monroe Doctrine of all things. In Levin's world, reaching an agreement with Iran and letting China declare military flight restrictions over some lovely islands in the China Sea are both examples of pissing on the Monroe Doctrine. What about this is new? Levin has always been conservative radio's weirdo uncle with histrionic personality disorder and a pathological liar.

Wow, it's really weird when you see something published that's 100%, no loving around, fingers-crossed-behind-the-back lying. http://mediamatters.org/blog/2013/11/25/fox-blames-obamacare-for-fictional-layoffs-at-c/197048 quote:Fox News reported that the Cleveland Clinic was instituting "massive layoffs" due to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, but when asked about the reports, a Clinic spokesperson told Media Matters, "We're not." For the record, I work with the Cleveland Clinic often and while they can be some money-grubbin jerks sometimes they are honestly one of the more respectable private institutions I've ever been associated with. A while back I recall their CEO suggested we should tax tobacco out of existence which tickled me. Still though, how the gently caress do you get "We are offering retirement packages to older employees" = " we are laying off grannies due to ACA" gently caress conservative media in its loving weird varicosity-dense rear end in a top hat

Von Sloneker posted:He sounds like he's planning to run in 2016. I had no idea this was a thing until a few days ago when I saw him talking about it to Megyn Kelly. Man, Ben Carson drives me crazy. He's a literal genius doctor but his social views are just the worst. I suppose you don't grow up a seventh-day adventist and shed it so easily. A literal quote of his from his prayer speech: "PC is dangerous, because you see, this country, one of the founding principles was freedom of thought and freedom of expression. And it [PC] muffles people. It puts a muzzle on them." From his thing on Hannity: "Marriage is between a man and a woman. No group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn't matter what they are. They don't get to change the definition." That's right Dr. Carson, gays are literally the same as pedophiles and animal rapists. Yup! On top of all of this I've had several med student buddies of mine both at Johns Hopkins and UMaryland say that hes a huge dick and he treats his subordinates like crap. I've heard stories about him browbeating surgery students at Johns Hopkins for not wanting to make as much money as possible for their services. If he does run for Pres in 2016, I don't think he'll make it past the first bit of primaries, he has a ton of baggage. Beyond this I don't see him running a radio show. I think he'd rather be doing his whole neurosurgeon thing.

My Q-Face posted:That was the Vanderbilt-Whitney kid, and it was two years in oil fields in Texas. He was still somewhat vacuous, and yeah, he went back to his wealthy life afterwards, but he was the most sympathetic and self-aware of the group. I watched that video, and as someone who married into wealth through my mother, all those kids are shitheads and I recognize each of those kids from the brief time I spent with my mother and her husbands friends' kids. They are mentally and socially deranged and for the most part, solidify into huge dickbags after they go through their "liberal youth" where they question if it's fair that they get infinite resources and pleasure at the expense of others. e: gahh I just dredged up memories of going out to dinner with some of these cretins and basically being so loving embarrassed at the way they treated "the help". I'm pissing bile out of my eyes thinking about them. e: also if another multiple mansion owner tells me that some working class guy is "richer than he is" because of his huge debt, I'm going to erupt into flames.

PUGGERNAUT posted:This is such a dumbass argument. Older relatives are always like "when you have kids, you'll understand" or "you just don't know what it's like to protect your daughter". The "when your older argument" is a way old people try to end a conversation and try to keep their self respect when they have nothing to retort with. I often just let my mother "win" with that one and try not to strangle each other over holidays. It's the only way not to implode into a black hole of infinite frustration.

joeburz posted:The libertarians I know contend that progressive economic policies, and most specifically minimum wage, are used to deliberately lower employment levels of minorities. Because if only companies were allowed to employ minorities for a fraction of the current wage floor, the plight of the downtrodden and disenfranchised in the US would be solved. For what it's worth, I'm in grad school and am dating a law student, and I have yet to meet anyone who isn't a tremendous neck beard who believes this kind of nonsense. I just hope that extrapolates further than my little bubble so I don't loving implode with rage.

HipGnosis posted:I know that a lot of people feel that progressive social policies for minorities (and women) "remove the individual's agency." Affirmative action or quotas or providing birth control or providing abortions is the "nanny state" treating minorities and women like less than human. Like improving inner city schools, so that they have, you know, teachers, is going to get in the way of little Intergenerational Poverty Johnny or Jane bootstrapping their way to success. I have this sneaking suspicion that all of this bullshit stems from some Protestant thinker misattributing the "teach a man to fish quote" to Jesus and running with it until it's mutated into some maddening just world fallacy. I guess my response to "removing the persons agency" is what inherent power personal agency provides that supersedes the limitations of someone's ability to live out of constant fear. Perhaps that fear in itself is supposed to be a motivating factor rather than a paralyzing one. None of these premises hold up under the lightest scrutiny so the only reasonable answer at this point is to attribute it to god and then fart all the way to the bank.

Alternatively you can point out that beloved conservative icon Jesse Helms ran a filibuster to prevent MLK Day from becoming a holiday under Reagan. I don't think most conservatives give a flying gently caress about MLK anyways. There's a reason Jesse Helms is a conservative hero.
