Yeah, blocking traffic may cause hardships, and if it’s a main road, it may not be avoidable even. It’s not an ideal form of protest IMO. But drawing a connection between that and what Nazis did to truly restrict movement?

I actually saw one of my dipshit ‘friends’ on FB describe the despicable murder of Heyer as an unfortunate result of two ignorant sides fighting each other, as if the murder of somebody standing against racial hatred is basically the same thing as standing against racial hatred. I mention this because this is the…

Root: “White supremacy isn’t a fringe group among white people.”

The ACLU protects freedom of speech in general, without exceptions, regardless of who the speaker is or what they believe. They’re not condoning violence, so much as they’re protecting the first amendment to a fault. That’s important in an era where we have a White House administration that seems perfectly ok with…

As a white guy living in the South I have seen and heard enough over the years to know that this has been a long hard fight that isn’t over. All I have to say is to carry on and keep up the fight.

Google is your friend.

If the concern is human rights abuses in the provision of materials or supplies for our transportation, then yes, let’s absolutely worry about what’s going on in rare earth metal mining. In fact, let’s really get on that. Because sticking with petroleum as a major ingredient of what it takes to get us moving is not a…

The new Leaf is better looking than the old one. Not exciting, but it’s a transportation appliance, not anything aspirational.

Subtle hint at the driving dynamics?

My wife is from Hillsborough and we still live sorta near by and go there often as she still has family and friends there. The town has changed DRAMATICALLY since she last lived there in the nineties. PHE was a big deal because “Do you know what they sell there?” After college one of our friends from school worked…

Tom, let’s post our favorite cash purchases, just to remind people that you don’t really need the $30k, $40k, 50K new car.

Roger that. I’m driving a 12 year old Saturn VUE (albeit with a Honda engine, thank you GM) with 285,000 miles on it. Running like a top. I can easily replace it, but am waiting til I get over 300,000 miles, because 300,000 miles.

Crack Pipe.

The magic pill to being underwater? Keep the car you don’t like anymore and you wanted to trade in, keep paying down the loan, and eventually you will have paid off the note. It is called being a responsible adult.

The kicker is that if Zinke holds forth on his threat to Murkowski — and withdraws federal support for building roads to support the expansion of mining and drilling in Alaska —, her vote may have saved both the ACA and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (for now).

McCain is still an opportunist; he jumps in at the last minute and gets all the praise.

McCain 3:16 says you can’t whip enough votes!

I think he must think we don’t history or something

I’ve posted this before and I have to post it again.
