What Republicans do, and what Someguy and Kinser think is "intelligent"
from Letamericavote.org There’s a lot happening in Washington, DC right now. It is nearly impossible to keep track of everything extremists are pushing through and I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this: "House Republicans Just Voted to Eliminate the Only Federal Agency that Makes Sure Voting Machines Can't be Hacked." -- The Nation, 2/7/2017 These extremists insist on placing more and more restrictions on voting rights in America. They claim it's to protect voting. If their concerns about voter fraud are genuine, they shouldn’t be eliminating the only Federal Agency that protects voting machines from hacking. Add your name to mine → Tell members of Congress we can’t make it easier to hack elections. The Election Assistance Commission has great importance. It is the only federal agency that makes sure voting machines are hack-proof. It helps states conduct elections and improves election administration. So really, these extremists insist on restricting access to the voting booth -- for everyone but hackers. This could be up for a vote on the floor of the House soon. Before it does, let members of Congress know that you are AGAINST the elimination of the Election Assistance Commission. Thanks. Jason

Amazon launched a fake radio station to promote ‘The Man in the High Castle.’ Angry Trump supporters thought it was real.
When someone says "Nazis are bad" and your first instinct is to scream "No I'm not!" it might be time for some soul searching.

(Iowa Congressman) Steve King is a virulent racist — why be surprised? He represents the current Republican Party perfectly
Yes, I know the usual suspects are going to moan at the source, just read it...

I found neither of those quotes objectionable. The "civilization" one was clumsily worded, but if you're talking about modern industrial, post-Enlightenment civilization it is completely correct.

I ran into this Reddit post that I thought was relevant:
Quote:I spent the latter half of my childhood in Crawford County, Iowa - part of his district, and even handed out signage for him at the behest of a friend's family who had taken me in for a little while. That was probably his first reelection campaign, but I don't really remember.The bolded part struck me because it reminds me so much of where I grew up in western Minnesota.

Is the world getting bigger, figuratively speaking? If transportation and communication are getting faster/cheaper, and people are moving more, wouldn't it be more apt to say (as most people do) that the world is "getting smaller"?
Also, I know you denied it in the other thread, but the bit about rural Minnesota sounds once again like somebody wanting to get back at his peers from high school by helping tear down their world around them. Not a classy move.

No, just recognizing the flaws. I'm the kind of person who can wax nostalgically about the good things about growing up in a rural area without being in denial about the bad things.

He didn't say anything about white people contributing specifically to Western Civilization, he just said "civilization". How the FUCK is that not racist?

Quote:He didn't say anything about white people contributing specifically to Western Civilization, he just said "civilization". How the FUCK is that not racist? I suppose that would depend on how you rate the accomplishments of modernity versus the previous few thousand years. Since you are a progressive and not some kinda, I dunno, reactionary, seems like it should be about right.

I wonder if Classic Xer agrees with this view by Steve King of "what it is that unites us"
King seems like a ripe target if there's a Democratic wave in 2018.
IRS strips tax-exempt status from Richard Spencer's white nationalist nonprofit
Whoopsie! Something tells me the IRS will be one of those agencies judged to be "inefficient and unnecessary" and thus merged with a more useful and productive agency, like the Department of Free Hand Outs to Billionaires...
