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.

Because reactionaries know that they only win when they supress the vote.

If everyone voted, the GOP would not exist as a national party.

It's pretty shocking, but I can fit 2 Ds in my mouth.

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.

Same energy

ETA: It's really funny that you're making this argument in a thread you about how people don't understand how the first amendment has limits, much like the principles of many types of anarchism have limits.

10/10, no notes.

Of course.

That's what makes it even worse though: the joke is that Rudy isn't really "molestable", but the old freak goes for it anyway.

And the pièce de résistance is, of course, that he was found to have sexually assaulted at least one woman in a department store.

Yup. Perfectly normal to joke about molesting a woman in a department store.

Right?

That's like asking the fuckin' cops for shrooms.

Even Murphy's law has exceptions!

Oh, I see.

You don't care about the truth.

It all makes sense now.

So when you said the UK isn't a nation of migrants you knew you were wrong?

Some people actually aren't afraid of history, to the despair of conservatives worldwide.

Also, what a fun admission that Europeans invaded the Americas. I'm sure you'll be logically consistent there.

Someone tell the 1066 Normans they were actually born in England.

Oh, and the Romans.

Oh, and the Saxons.

What "traditional values" are you talking about?

We're a nation of migrants; you don't get to rewrite history because it makes you mad.

The first immigration law passed in this country was a process for naturalization; it doesn't get more traditional than that.
