You’re kind of missing the point. It doesn’t make a wetslap of difference which person gets into the White House.

Hell, I think Bush vs. Obama is a very good illustration. They branded themselves in completely different ways but I dare you to find any significant Bush policy that Obama disagreed with. Both were for

David Azerrad is not a French-Canadian from Quebec, he is a Sephardic Jew from the Western part of Montreal. His English language skills are not the problem here (he teaches in Dallas, TX) the real problem is his retrograde ideology.

You know what bro?

I’m hoping we’ll see an impact this election. My parents are “economic conservatives” but have always been for gay marriage, abortion, and immigration. They were Dems until Clinton’s time because... I really have no idea why. Anyway it’s been a real issue for me and my siblings to come to terms with because even those

Which Trump? The Trump that used a be democrat and was strongly pro-choice and pro-universal healthcare, or the remodeled Trump that claims the Bible is his favorite book and is now pro-life?

That is incorrect. "Regime" would have the same creepy undertone in Qc French.

Just last night the Pope said that freedom of religion means freedom for all religions. He laid out that that means inclusion of Muslim, Jewish and other religions. Ben Carson couldn’t even wait until the Pope left American soil to spew his hatred towards others.....in the name of Christianity.

Well, to be fair, most Muslims can't read Arabic.

What about Presidential candidates who are Christian? Should they be held to the same standard?

And this:

The way I see things, Ben Carson is a fundamentalist idiot. That said, until a mainstream branch of Islam publicly accepts gay rights and marriage and allows a woman to be imam, what the hell’s the problem with criticizing Islam?

Any time any of these jerks starts bloviating about what Islam tells people to do, I wish a reporter would ask them, “sir, do you read Arabic?” Which, of course, the answer will be no, to which the response is, “then how do you know for sure?”

It bugs the shit out of me when people act like everything is ok and we’ve come so far, so there’s no need to get riled up. They accuse us of being “angry feminists” and wonder why we are still fighting to protect our rights. I’m just like, “You’re goddamned right I’m angry! There’s too much fuckery going around

Because I am now and always a Discworld geek,

Some people will not being happy until there are women bleeding to death on the floor of some back-alley clinic, with a wire hanger and a bottle of scotch for company as they die for the sin of wanting autonomy over their bodies.

I’m taking a strategy and war class with the Naval War College and the prof (retired Navy officer) went off this week when someone criticized Weinberger. He wouldn’t back down that it was a rogue AF LtCol and a rogue admiral. Like honestly, you think two people did that all by themselves with NO support from anyone?

You know, you can buy the boys costume and it will probably fit your three-year-old daughter. The obsessive gendering of toys and clothes for little kids is a bit problematic, but with a child that young they can wear any of the costumes, there’s no reason for her to complain about the costumes for girls vs. those for

Ugh. As a parent of three children of various genders, I find these complaints ridiculous. So what if the company separates it into boys and girls costumes? If your daughter wants to dress up as a UPS driver, buy her the UPS driver costume! It’s parents who say “oh you are a girl you must choose from the costumes

Or, there’s a third option: just let your kid wear the costume they want but that’s too simple and doesn’t let the soapbox out of the closet.
