I keep reading OG as "Original Gangster" and was quite confused until I put 2 and 2 together.

That is such a fun series!

I loved Soulless. I can read it over and over. I'm not sure what I think of her new series though, I'd rather have more Alexia.

My husband would bring me flowers for a week if I came home with this bad boy.

Being thought a bigot by a bigot is fine with me.

Oh yeah, it got out of control. I sometimes conflate conservatives with republicans for ease of communication when I really shouldn't. You just don't know how well versed in political theory your audience is. But, I do apologize for lazy rhetoric.

Because you're showing the same myopic reading of history and similar arrogance in thinking. The historic record is unambiguous on both events and both the "holohoax" and "war of northern aggression" groups advocate "alternative" interpretations of those records as well as cherry picking primary sources to support…

If you read through the thread you would see that I sacrificed accuracy for the joke. It wouldn't make sense to say a Nigerian is a Republican. I assume that in the US most intelligent and moral conservatives aren't even in the Republican Party at this point, given the current aims of the GOP.

Huh, well given the demographics of the 2012 election I feel pretty safe about my assertion given that Democrats were more likely to have gone to college than Republicans. Wealthy people are far more likely to vote Republicans and the Republicans block every tax increase to this group that they can. White people are…

It was the first time the politicians kicked the can down the road, but it was far from the last.

I thought about taking that one on, and in hindsight I should have wrangled that point instead of politics. I'm glad you said something.

I read that! It was fascinating, wasn't it? I try to be aware of all the ways my brain can trick me and I've been thinking about this one a great deal.

I would join that party in a heartbeat and even do door-to-door canvassing.

Right back atchya!

He probably thinks the history of Holocaust is incorrect and overblown too.

I am not entirely certain that this poster would agree on the people thing. Can anyone who gets all worked up about defending the Southern side in the Civil War be anything other than a racist? Is it possible?

I see what you're saying and I agree with you. Language is so tricky. I usually don't conflate liberal with Democrat but painted myself in a box because of my original joke. I couldn't say 'Republicans are bad at math' because it would make no sense when talking about a Nigerian.

Oh, I do. It's absolutely a situation where I'm voting for the least awful group, no question about it. I research the hell out of the Democrats, too. I do think it is possible to look at both platforms, empirically, and see that one is significantly less harmful to humanity. Abortion is a very difficult subject and I…

Hee! I see what you did there.

I haven't provided links because I didn't think it was necessary. It's a water is wet kind of territory among educated people. But here you go:
