I doubt this is a Catholic thing. Remember when Bono bro'd out with Strom Thurmond? If you're willing to work with Bono on anything he'll praise you for it. I also think he disarms these ultra-rightwingers by being so open to their support. I respect him for it.

I didn't realize there was anyone itt who wouldn't describe themselves as liberal tbh.

progressive != liberal

I describe myself as smitten by Ginger. That's as much as I'll commit to.

square!=rhombus

well no, actually a square IS a rhombus

but is a square is a rhombus!

haha crosspost

most progressives vacillate between begrudging affection for liberals & outright hatred of them

bono has never been a catholic, raised in the church of ireland(anglican) iirc

it's a KIND of rhombus

someone getting upset about being called a liberal when really they're a progressive... I dunno bros

these are not real stable categories

I mean I say this as a liberaltarian liberal progressive socialist interventionist.

I'd be upset if I was a square tbh

but it's hip to be one

All squares are rhombuses; not all rhombuses are squares. All Mitts are Romneys (as far as I know); not all Romneys are Mitts.

Liberals decided they wanted to be called progressives when they thought the L-word had too much Naive Gullible Ineffectual baggage attached to it. Well, guess what...

But the senator grimaced when he was introduced, and as Romney delivered his own stump speech, an increasingly impatient McCain pulled up his sleeve and checked his watch. McCain gave his endorsement address without mentioning Romney’s Iowa win until the end. “By the way, we forgot to congratulate him on his landslide victory last night,” he said, laughing. Romney ignored him.

Did McCain "endorse" Romney just to troll him?

another political compass thread

let's split the progressive/liberal hairs here

also LOL @ Nicole's quote

btw aero, we need some new lyrics (again) to the Ochs song, I nominate you as this year's Jello Biafra.

I saw someone else yesterday wonder if McCain's endorsement was consciously meant to hurt Romney...CNN just played 90% of an attack ad against Romney, tried to get Matlin and Brazile to guess who'd put it out (neither could), then played the rest, and of course it was a McCain ad.

I guess there's an ok track record for Presidents using speeches to scaremonger the country into war. But for major political and social movements and changes it's mostly a fantasy.

yah i read some poli sci research somewhere that said in a lot of cases a president can actually hurt his cause via over agressive selling due to obvs partisan factors

always thought progressive was just the new word for liberal once the gop machine successfully ruined that brand

anyway i like the word progressive, i mean progress yeah who doesnt love progress

liberal is cool too, its like do what you want and we will still love you be free be yrself alls good

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/05/santorum-gets-into-testy-debate-on-gay-marriage/?hp

The session ended with many of the students booing Mr. Santorum as he left for his next event.

It takes a man willing to take risks or a total idiot to show up to an event and have the shit booed out of him...

well he was well known to be the stupidest senator

also he brought his stillborn child home and cuddled on it w/his family for a couple hours

i can't believe he has a law degree. he gets asked about why he opposes two men getting married, and repeatedly deflects to asking about what the questioner thinks about 3 or more men getting married? what? comparing his approach to the Socratic method, like the NYT does in that article, is just absurd.

tbf Socrates would've totally married three men

I might too on a Thursday.

Socrates: may we do evil?
Crito: of course not, Socrates.
Socrates: so you're saying that no men ever do evil?
Crito: what? no, I would never say that, you must-
Socrates: and so you agree that all men must do as their masters command, even if the command is evil?
Crito: i'm not following what you're-
Socrates: we're going to have a civilized discussion here, ok?

itt socrates is waaaaaasted

Nah, Shakey. Socrates had a pretty conventional marriage to Xantippe and fathered some kids with her. According to Plato's Symposium (Xenophon wrote one, too) Socrates spurned Alkibiades's sexual advances. So, not much evidence for your assertion there.

Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

'twas just a lil joke Aimless

lol socrates u married someone named Xantippe

you guys Santorum said on Bill O'Reilly that he didn't say "black people," he said "blah people"

you guys you guys you guys

so tired of all these blah people on welfare. they need to put some zazz into it

he really said this

new internet meme

it really oughta be

you're already spreading it. all it really needs for rocket fuel is a 7 second video clip.
