That perfectly describes Indiana University of Pennsylvania where roughly 90% of my graduating class was criminology majors which meant I had to wait 2 hours before I got called up because I took an actually challenging major and not an excuse to party and then get the whole school in trouble when St. Patty's day came and a bunch of douchebag cultists from Penn State came over since Happy Valley closes the bars.

This is the dumbest argument of all time, but "Democratic Party" maintains iambic rhythm and "DemoCRAT PARty" does not.

It doesn't have any electoral ramifications, but it sounds worse to the ear so right wingers like to say it.

Fishmech I get that guns are dumb but dispensing with Equality Before the Law (even for the 2% of the terrorist watch list that are American) doesn't just lend itself to a slippery slope argument, it IS the slippery slope.

I'm trying to fathom how people don't see that the very second that these greater restrictions on freedom of speech were rolled out, they would be see to silence the left, not the right.

Do you really not think that, if hate speech laws were given more teeth, you wouldn't see it used to shut down anyone who criticized Israel's actions against Palestinians? That if libel and slander were expanded, it wouldn't be used to silence coverage of the Koch brothers? That if protest restrictions were strengthened, they would be used against abortion protesters and not against police protestors?

This post is 100% correct. False equivalency is an American birthright at this point, and would be deployed accordingly.

They've also got their own Facebook page. It's kinda strange knowing the US anti-ISIL task force has their own official Youtube channel that they regularly upload videos to, and a Facebook page where they regularly list all of the previous day's airstrikes. Social media has changed war in some very weird ways.


Now to get Republicans to start watching their Youtube channel and start liking Obama.:v:

Not a huge fan of The War Nerd but he had a good post about this aspect of modern warfare last year.

In large part they suddenly stopped being besties with the French Republicans as soon as that revolution kicked off another, closer one which for some odd reason caused Southern landowners to suddenly remember how they'd always had reservations about such wild excesses of liberty, for as Jefferson himself said, "I become daily more and more convinced that all the West India Island will remain in the hands of the people of colour, and a total expulsion of the whites sooner or later take place. It is high time we should foresee the bloody scenes which our children certainly, and possibly ourselves (south of the Potomac), have to wade through and try to avert them."

This is a good excuse to plug CLR James's The Black Jacobins, on the interplay of Revolutionary ideas in France and Haiti, the limits of French republicanism, and the life of L'ouverture.
