You posted the photo and comment cold on a thread about a laser. If that’s not SJW grandstanding I don’t know what is. This isn’t hard. I too hate the confederate flag. I also hate the Aryan brotherhood and ISIS but I don't post a photo of their flag and say "burn with laser please" unprovoked. Just enjoy the damn…

The states’ rights... to perpetuate slavery. If it was really about states’ rights, then the Missouri Compromise would never have been necessary. The slavers saw the rise of new free states to be a threat to their ability to own people, and so required some of those new free states to allow slavery... just to make the…

Every day I become more and more convinced idiocracy was a documentary. Reading the comments here is like the scene where they are discussing WWII and talking about how the UN un-nazied the world from Charlie Chaplin’s evil nazi’s. The South legally and democratically seceded from the Union, they were then invaded.…

And yet no one really gave a rat’s ass until about 2 years ago on the internet.

That’s about 10min from my house. I haven’t seen it lately, it may have been taken down.

Translation: “This is going to be great. I’m going to use this totally unrelated moment to prove to everyone how much of a social justice warrior I am. Golly, I’m special. My mom says so.”

Or worse, Solyndra part 2. Both sides are ripping us off. Do you think this will go to small innovative businesses. Or to those that will be impacted the most by a flat per barrel gas tax. No, it will so to some bullshit “research” companies and “shovel ready” projects awarded to those with the best paid lobbyists.…

That’s an argument against doing anything, isn’t it? Don’t pass a budget with infrastructure, defense, or health care because that money will just be diverted.

Well, and there’s also the problem that even if people would be for a specific tax that goes for a specific initiative that they support, most people do not trust Congress to actually spend that money on the original initiative.

Considering voting demographics still skew older, and retired folks being on fixed incomes are typically active against any tax increases for them I would say that sentiment is still active. You can be a candidate in any party that plans on raising taxes, but you just have to keep that exact statement out of the…

Oh, I definitely believe you would have gotten slaughtered twenty years ago for saying that, the question is does that same sentiment exist today? Even Hillary’s camp, had made an off comment about the electability of a socialist who proudly smiles about it. Certainly it if it came down to Trump vs Sanders, there…

Congress would love to pass it. They’d be like “sure, we’ll spend that tax money on green energy”, then the next batch of whores gets elected and the revenue stream will go elsewhere. Kinda like the social security reserve and the aviation gas taxes.

This would be awesome if it weren’t just political grandstanding. He knows there is no way he is going to get a tax proposal like that past Congress, even if it were run by democrats.
