Hot Yellow KoolAid posted:Much to the disappointment of conservatives, "2016: Obama's America" was not nominated for any academy awards Countdown until creation of Conservative Movie Awards. And a lot of kids are taught from day one that the world is fair and if you work hard and do the right thing you'll definitely make it. When you view it like that, fiscal conservative makes sense. Why spend all that extra money to help people that don't want to help themselves? It's not until people stop taking care of you that you realize the world doesn't give a poo poo about you unless you were born into a rich family that you start seeing things how they really are.

SilentD posted:I'm not really trivializing it. But a DUI and pot isn't relevant in one bit to someones capability as a politician, kinda how hookers and blow aren't either. Someone got drunk and did something stupid, oh loving well. Let the cops take his license for whatever time, make him pay a fine and do some community service, but that's about the extent of it. It's a fairly normal failing and screw up. It wasn't alcohol he wasn't intoxicated with. They didn't specify what it was, but they made sure to point out "not alcohol".

Pretty much they wanted him kicked out for using his first amendment rights to speak out against their second amendment rights. They did not see the irony in this at all.

A lot of music can be bad without mocking the music style it's emulating. Was working on some stuff at a church today and they had Glenn Beck playing. He was talking about how the government is planning on registering all the gold people own and how China is forcing the price of gold down (but it won't stay down for long) because they want to destroy our economy. Then after his commercial break, which consisted entirely of things like Lifelock, life insurance, titanium backup, and other things you should be scared of, came back to say that a friend's uncle down in Texas was visited by the ATF. They wanted to come into his house and make sure he wasn't making guns, and they also gave him a lie detector test to make sure he wasn't. I don't understand how people can listen to this poo poo all day long.

cafel posted:Did he give any explanation for why it would destroy our economy? Lower gold prices would actually be a boon for the sectors of industry that use gold for parts, gold mining isn't a major contributor to our GDP and the goldbugs never stop whining about how we're off the gold standard. I'm curious if there was any greater rational then 'the lovely investment I duped you into is crashing, but it's them drat yellow foreigners at fault.' No explanations, just that we can't negotiate with them because they own so much of our debt and they're planning on crashing our economy for some reason. Like, they don't even care that theirs would crash too, they're just that spiteful.

Since this is mostly the fault of these people, I just wanted to post this: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/energy/2013/04/130430-light-bulb-labeling/ Conservatives are less likely to buy light bulbs if they're labeled as "environmentally friendly" no matter how superior they are.

Warchicken posted:Those realizations will require humility and admitting to a certain amount of ignorance, and I don't think that seems likely. We can hope that someone on these boards will be able to look at facts and realize that maybe what they've learned through Fox News isn't all there is. Fox feeds their viewers a steady stream of Us vs. Them and playing to people's already great fears. Things are changing in the world which makes some folks scared. People tend to get more conservative when they're scared, and a conservative news source preying on those fears is disgusting. Once they've got you not trusting any other sources, you start believing their stories about Saddam being linked to 9/11, ACORN participating in prostitution, Obama staging school shootings to take away your guns, and that your only hope is to vote Republican, invest all your money in gold, and support taking rights away from The Other. It's the only way you'll be safe.

cafel posted:You know, I want to go into No Music Discussion and start posting about how the Beethoven actually was a giant hack or into Cinema Discusso and post about how 'Citizen Kane' is an overrated snooze fest. I want the rush posters apparently get when roll into a subforum on a topic they don't understand at all and then pull broad sweeping misconceptions out of their rear end. See, the difference here is that those things are entirely subjective. There's no facts that say Beethoven was amazing or Citizen Kane was perfect, it's just a very well known and agreed upon opinion. The actual impact of the debt and deficit spending can be seen throughout history and through facts and figures.

Warchicken posted:How loving stupid do you have to be to actually believe this was going to work and make you rich? Donald Trump is a horrible businessperson and his wealth is a complete accident at best, and due to the poaching of morons in exactly this fashion at worst. I really have no sympathy at all for anyone who fell for this, they clearly shouldn't be allowed to have enough money to waste it on this anyway. Trump is rich because his father was rich. Once you get up to that level you can stay up there no matter how terrible at business you are.

What I find funny about it is if the right hadn't done everything they could to drive down wages and kill unions then maybe both people in a household wouldn't have to work and women could still have the choice to stay home and cook and clean!

I talked to a guy who totally agreed wages should go up but not to $15 because then people who didn't go to college would be making the same as him. That was his entire justification.

ToxicSlurpee posted:It's the ages-old American tradition of deliberately setting somebody up to fail then punishing them for it. Usually the backwards alphabet is combined with standing on one leg. They don't give a poo poo if you can do the alphabet backwards, they're looking to see if you can do two things at once without totally screwing up. Just like walking a straight line while touching your nose. Generally people that are drunk use a lot of their focus on one task and forget about the other one. Also, if you even feel a little buzzed, don't drive.
