... You do know where the left-right distinction comes from, right? It's who sits where in parliament.

Frederik B, Wednesday, 5 July 2017 15:39 (six years ago) link

If you want to be pedantic, we don't have a parliament, you Nordic nitwit.

Wow rude

Sorry, I couldn't resist, I watched too much Lost in Space when I was a kid.

jenkem street team (carpet_kaiser), Wednesday, 5 July 2017 15:47 (six years ago) link

I didn't say you did. The distinction wasn't invented in the US, you self-obsessed idiot.

Frederik B, Wednesday, 5 July 2017 15:48 (six years ago) link

'Nordic nitwit' is fairly good, though.

if i invented a liberal mooching claw that could steal drug money from the pockets of Makers, would that make me a Heroic Entrepreneur?

jenkem street team (carpet_kaiser), Wednesday, 5 July 2017 19:53 (six years ago) link

it depends on how much money/property you've already or will inherit

reggie (qualmsley), Wednesday, 5 July 2017 19:54 (six years ago) link

i love to snooze, i love to mooch, i love to take, from those who make. i'm the moochman. check out my moves, you racist hicks.

I have a theory about global warming and why people think it's real. Go back, 30, 40 years when there was much less air conditioning in the country. When you didn't have air conditioning and you left the house, it may have in fact gotten a little cooler out there because sometimes houses become hot boxes. Especially if you are on the second or third floor of a house in the summer time, and all you've got is open windows and window fan, or a servant fanning you with a piece of paper. When you walked outside no big deal still hot as hell, now 30, 40 years later all this air conditioning, and it's a huge difference when you go outside. When you go outside now, my golly is it hot, global warming. It's all about the baseline you're using for comparison.

Aside from 'sociopathy' being misspelled in the title, very solid thread, this one.

Angry at plenty of things, but I don't understand trying to write an essay as a series of tweets.

Jesus once said, "Help the poor"
But he doesn't believe that any more

People -- before birth, God rates them
If they are born poor, it means God hates them

And destitute children are no longer worthy of our pity
Although grudgingly, Christ allows an orphanage in the worst part of the city

"Blessed is the richest guy in town"
He says, "For his wealth shall trickle down"

twitter only lets u write 140 characters per tweets (1/)

sometimes you have more than that to say, but want people to be able to read(2/)

it inside twitter rather than click out to something else.(3/)

if ppl have to click another link, they will probably skip it.(4/)

if u dont want to read tweet threads, skip them. (5/5)

nice cage (m bison), Saturday, 8 July 2017 18:34 (six years ago) link

guys, conservatives just love to poop their pants. that's it. psychoanalyse them all you want, that's all there is to it.

flopson, Saturday, 8 July 2017 18:58 (six years ago) link

Lol @m bison, esp the part where even one goddamn sentence doesn't fit into a tweet and has to be split into two tweets.

All I see here is a bunch of know-it-all's giving their opinion without having read a lick of Republican literature.

Go on and smash with your baseball bats the lowest hanging fruit of the conservative tree while the rest of us try to live our lives the best we can.

Banana Man, let me give you some homework and then we can talk. How about you read Ideas Have Consequences by Richard Weaver.

Believe it or not, I was once young and went to college just like the rest of you.

The Sniper, Monday, 10 July 2017 16:47 (six years ago) link

But then you were done mowing the lawn and went home

Charles "Butt" Stanton (Neanderthal), Monday, 10 July 2017 16:49 (six years ago) link

In its pages, Richard M. Weaver argues that the decline of Western civilization resulted from the rising acceptance of relativism over absolute reality. In spite of increased knowledge, this retreat from the realist intellectual tradition has weakened the Western capacity to reason, with catastrophic consequences for social order and individual rights.

so Weaver's being prophetic about modern conservatism?

the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 10 July 2017 16:51 (six years ago) link

not to nitpick but weaver isn't really "republican literature" right? it's more like conservative literature. there's lots of great conservative literature.

Mordy, Monday, 10 July 2017 16:53 (six years ago) link

^ Republican literature

Nugget from our national poll coming out tomorrow- only 45% of Trump voters believe Donald Trump Jr. had a meeting with Russians...

It's not treason, because this was a Republican.

Republicans working with the Russians to destroy the United States isn't treason because the Republicans are the New American Confederacy, and their goal is to destroy the United States and replace it with a series of fiefdoms in which they are once again allowed to own people.

When a Republican works with the Russian government against the United States, it's merely working with an ally against a common enemy.

reggie (qualmsley), Wednesday, 19 July 2017 18:10 (six years ago) link

a series of fiefdoms in which they are once again allowed to own people.

actually these will be voluntary contracts. constitution!
