What does "clash of culture" mean? Either the definition the shitheads advance or the non-dogwhistle version. I thought they were more afraid of Sharia Law's forceful imposition or whatever?

(Seriously, I couldn't. Russia, China, ISIS, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and North Korea only got me to seven. Al Qaeda? Did they count "Syria" as an enemy? Am I missing Mexico? Venezuela? What the hell does the average tabloid reader think about?)

So far he's said bluntly that he has no doubt whatsoever that the Russians were behind the hacking and leaks of the DNC and DCCC (but did not alter votes) and that the President did not formally ask him to stop the Russian investigation.

edit: "General Flynn at that time was in legal jeopardy. ... I don't think it's for me to say whether the conversation I had with the President was an attempt to obstruct. I took it as a very disturbing thing..."

Haha no. "Critical thinking" to them infringes on their "right" to indoctrinate their children with their religious beliefs. It's a facet of their whole problem with secular education corrupting their innocent children with the devil's lies about sex and evolution and other religions and the round earth. These people are obsessed with homeschooling for similar reasons.
I was thinking about this the other day - why is homeschooling legal? I assume it's because it always has been (and one party supports it wholeheartedly), but like, why was it ever? Just outgrowth from when everyone was a farmer?

As a white dude, what the gently caress? Maybe I just don't know how bad it is up North or how good it is down South? Goddammit, I probably have to click this one.

e: a barista was racist, but when she went back South she learned about a KKK church burning in 1995 and saw literally no sense of anything livable

quote:

his South where history looms large, filled with Confederate flags and songs of Dixie, isn’t the South black millennials are flocking to. Perhaps that, too, is part of my Northern elite imagination, or just a tired stereotype. Instead, they are headed to a modern, progressive South brimming with black politicians and business executives, a formidable black activism scene and black middle-class suburbs.

To affect change you need to work within the accepted framework. The far lefts 'ban them all forever' is a non starter. There are legitimate effective ways the country could start handling it's gun problem but when both sides are too busy screaming at each other like it's Facebook it will never happen.

I suppose now with how partisan all politics are we've probably lost that chance, nationally at least. Local laws can only do so much when you've got red states sitting next to blue states.
Yeah, when there's 90% approval (I might be exaggerating but only by about five percent) among all gun owners for background checks there sure is nothing we can do, yep, nothing at all.

The "accepted framework" is one side has NRA lobbying money and the other side doesn't have jack and poo poo. Who cares what the NRA considers "acceptable"?
