Yes. Every time a conservative says something like “keep politics out of the college classroom” or “the professor pushed his/her political views on the class and they shouldn’t do that,” people should read that as “I don’t was challenged on my beliefs/assumptions, and I couldn’t defend them and that made me angry.”

republicans love authoritarians. They love being told what to do by “strong” “leaders”. The problem is they can’t defend their loathsome policies. So they distract their gullible voters by making scapegoats out of “the other”, I.e., “Mexican rapists are stealing your jobs!” (Its certainly not corporations…

Saving this, thank you!

Yep. Republicans tend to hold hypocritical views.

Oh, you filthy hypocrite. You have an invite-only speech with pre-screened questions but it’s everyone else who has a fragile fucking ego? Get the fuck out of here.

This needs more context so you can see how ridiculous it really was. (I’m a student at Georgetown Law. Yes, Tiffany is in my class, but not my section.)

HE HAD A WOMAN ARRESTED FOR LAUGHING AT HIM.

While I don’t agree with all aspects of how campuses are (some of the policies they have are well-meaning but can go a step too far such as Safe Space policies that go campus-wide) the idea it’s the students who have the fragile egos is laughable.

The right wing only wants one way free speech: They say what they want and we shut up. The right wing knows that their ideas cannot stand up to debate.

“But it is transforming into an echo chamber of political correctness and homogenous thought, a shelter for fragile egos.”

My sister for one. She had taken her daughte to the ER to get stitches from some sport thing. There was a woman there with her 4ish-year-old daughter with, what sounded like from her description, pretty severe bronchitis. My sister overheard the other mom say they didn’t have insurance. Of course, the child was…

The kind of person who would support someone who would let everyone suffer because his tantrums weren’t enough to pass a shitty healthcare bill

Because: “I’m a school librarian, I make $17 an hour and my health insurance sucks. But unemployed people have magic insurance I’m paying for so burn it all down and no one should have it.” http://www.npr.org/2017/09/26/553799111/boston-surgeon-and-new-yorker-writer-explores-whether-health-care-is-a-right

Scott Pruitt sure is protective of the environment; HIS OWN envornment, not ours. First the private jets, now his soundproof booth - who does he think he’s working for, CONTROL? Wouldn’t an inexpensive plexiglass Cone of Silence be sufficient?

Why was that video instead of text? There was no commentary; it was just words on a screen. It means you can’t watch it on your phone or read it discreetly at work and it uses a shitton more data. And makes your computer run hotter.

Players: “We are protesting racial disparity, racial injustice, and systemic oppression.”

Obviously, ACA has problems, but—the main issue the guy talks about in the thread seems to boil down to “Texas didn’t vote for Medicaid expansion.” And the reason they didn’t vote for Medicaid expansion? Because most of the people in the state voted for Republican politicians who declined to expand it (and were likely…

In fairness, this article is written to suggest that all pesticides are bad whether by purposeful misreading of the Science piece or by not understanding it, we’ll have to see if the author chimes in (ha ha ha)
