    Remember Todd Akin’s comment on sexual assault?

    "It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.”

    Not that it matters if an abortion is requested due to rape or any other reason, but this quote really drives home that it isn’t really about protecting children despite that last line: they think all women who get abortions should be punished for being murderous sluts despite all evidence to the contrary.









  • The mod there is always doing that game where he winks about how the Democrats were the slave owners during the civil war, as if the numerous political realignments since then never happened.

    I got banned yesterday for posting a speech by Lincoln where he was mocking slavers because they called themselves “conservatives” despite the fact that they wanted to break long-standing prohibitions and push slavery onto the rest of the country.

    He apparently didn’t appreciate my demonstration that it’s always been ideological conservatives who are consistently weirdo fascist losers.




  • Let’s sum up:

    You can’t understand a simple sentence explaining that you accept that there are common-sense limitations on the principles of liberal democracy (like freedom of speech), but you don’t accept that there are also common-sense limitations on the principles of anarchy (like freedom of association).

    Then you tell me that I’m in denial about… something? It isn’t clear, really.

    Then you tell me that I’m stupid for editing a spelling mistake.

    What a hero to dig in your heels and die on the dumbest possible straw-man hill. I have so much to learn from you. I’ve changed my mind, thank you for correcting me with your angsty-teenager understanding of anarchism. o7
