Paul Blest calling out anybody for their journalistic abilities is pretty rich, but linking to the Samer Kalaf "piece" as evidence of anything other than Samer's incompetence is just idiotic...

McReady was a captain in the Marine Corps. Its entirely possible he didnt care for Omar’s comments himself. That said, he likely doesn’t have a progressive bone in his body...

You could easily invent a drinking game that revolves around BarackaObama labelling people, though everybody knows his favorite label is “racist.” SNL is racist, Pelosi is racist, everybody is a racist coward, essentially. Remind him that NC’s voters and MN’s voters are different and he just ups the volume on his…

Colorado--Wyoming’s Mexico...

McAdams is from Utah, for God’s sake. If you think Utah will ever elect a progressive Democrat, you’re out of your mind...

Ha! Well, opinions certainly vary, but at least he raised me to appreciate the sacrifices others have made on my behalf. Your dad clearly taught you that whining about US imperialism is the most lasting contribution you can make to society, but no doubt he knew you’d be a lifelong victim from a very young age. Three…

My dad was called a baby-killer for flying an Army helicopter, dipshit. He knew multiple men who were spit on. Please try again. And yes, bombing the ever-loving shit out of the Taliban and ISIS keeps you safe. Its much harder for the Taliban to plan attacks against the West when they are running for their lives. 

Alternative take: the military is a necessary evil that exists solely to protect ungrateful, lazy shits like yourself, and he should be lauded for doing something you are unwilling to do.

“Just because you’re education failed...”

You mean the polls that show enthusiasm for M4A drops precipitously once its details are fleshed out? Or the polls showing Bernie’s popularity has tanked in the last few months? Or maybe the polls that show that, despite being “painfully out of touch,” Biden has a double digit lead in popularity right now? 

Alternatively, Biden could be polling well because a large percentage of democrats arent ready to embrace the progressive wing’s lurch to the left. But I dunno, Im just spitballing...

Mueller was also leader of the FBI for twelve years, an organization which Trump has made every effort to shit on. And because he’s an American citizen not named Trump, he surely realizes the threat Russia poses to our democracy. This is an exceptionally bad take

The only thing consistent about your point of view is that its completely devoid of nuance or critical thinking. Thats why people are ganging up on you—you are exhausting to listen to...

GND - short on specifics, gets full-throated support regardless

Young people dont HAVE to move anywhere, or do anything they dont want to do. But if the state needs, say, teachers for their economically depressed areas, or doctors in rural counties, and you cant lure them there with high starting salaries, debt forgiveness seems like a pretty reasonable way for two groups of…

In terms of active duty soldiers (50,000), its the biggest base in the world, which I didnt know. Its also home to much of the Army’s Special Forces community, with the 82nd Airborne and Delta based out of Bragg. Each year the Green Berets have their final two week field exercise there, encompassing over a dozen…

Refuting a gross generalization of Muslims with a gross generalization of Catholics isnt hypocritical at all. Nope, not even a little bit

The third district is home to Camp Lejeune, a MASSIVE Marine Corps base. Military is king in this part of the state, with the Army’s Fort Bragg being only two hours away. Its also home to lots of forgotten textile and Ag towns, thousands of hog farms and struggling farmers, and booming tourist destinations like the…

Educated criticism of Islam might include a critique of Mohammed’s approval of consaguineous marriages, and many Muslim countries’ enthusiastic support of the practice, which approach 50% of marriages in many Muslim nations. Thats a staggering number, and its a problem that doesnt get addressed in the public square,…

Both Islam AND Christianity are idea sets, you fucking moron. You can criticise both of them without being a bigot.
