In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

    If you label someone an anti-semite fraudulently, you risk creating one genuinely

    Thanks, new coup. I'm not sure if I agree with you on all points (but then my thoughts on the conflict are almost universally ambivalent), but the OP was carefully considered and well-written, I felt.

    New Leaning: Classical Liberal

    Yeah, such is armchair politics. People who are out to get libertarians will be upset that you're not retarded enough to be their strawmen, people who consider themselves the same will seek to deny you your self-imposed label if you don't march in lockstep with their view of the doctrine.

    Racist or not Racist.

    Anyone who can spell 'racist' is a racist. EDIT: Except me.

    Racist or not Racist.

    I think that's probably the least subtle thing I've ever witnessed. And I've seen [punchline not written yet]. I'll try to come up with something later.

    What did you have for dinner?

    Jeez, that's a classy dinner. I want that. I had, uh, Mexican food last night. Burrito Deluxe.

    Racist or not Racist.

    There was a comic a few weeks ago that caused a stir, the one with the monkey being shot by police and the officer making an Obama Admin quip. Some people thought it was racist, incorrectly I thought. Considering the news story of the escaped monkey, I thought it was quite reasonable. I even...

    Racist or not Racist.

    You didn't read my post on the previous page, or you didn't understand it, but I'll reiterate my point here for you. What I saw was a dare, not ridicule. Really, it has little to do with Obama at all. The OP presented it a weird way; typically you would post the Obama comparison, wait for...

    Racist or not Racist.

    No one could make the comparison without being aware of the racial implications. I suppose it is possible that someone could compare the two knowing that, and yet not have a motive or prepared counter for the viewers who will inevitably decry it. Simple innocent presidential ridicule. I'll...

    What are you listening to? Part 2

    Actually I've never been a huge fan of theirs until this new one. I jumped on the Animal Collective bandwagon, as it were. I've appreciated, at a distance, the creativity on display in their past outings, but their work just never grabbed me before now. EDIT: I also loved Panda Bear's solo...

    Dayton Mother Caught Breast Feeding and Driving

    Yeah I'm not really following you on this either. Breast-feeding seems at least infinity+1 times more dangerous for you and your kid. I don't have breasts or kids, so maybe the process is much simpler than I have perceived it to be, but it sure seems like a terrible, terrible idea to me.

    Do parents affect the chances you have in life?

    Of course your parents affect your chances. If your parents are rich, they can pay for you to go to college, or even private school before that. Well-connected parents can in turn connect their children, and our behavior is greatly influenced by our parents behavior. That being said, I think...

    Racist or not Racist.

    Neither is racist, nor funny for that matter. However, the first picture - and practically any comparison of Obama with a monkey - is something much more complicated and absurd: A comparison for the sake of hoping someone will claim it to be racist, so that the provider of the picture can...

    name some programs supported by the other side that you support, and why

    -Like others have implied, nuclear power is a no-brainer. -The importance of an open market on an international scale. I'm not opposed to assistance for Americans who have found themselves on the wrong end of an overseas labor transition, but protectionism through the blocking of international...

    Is Jindal the new face of the GOP?

    You guys are gonna hate this, but it's crossed my mind that Jindal is The GOP's Obama, as it were. Sorry. He could be a big deal in a couple of years. He shares a number of qualities with our current chief: He's sharp, he's young, he's a writer, he's non-caucasian. He's hip, in a way. He's...
