Not really. It will have to be one hell of a conservative democrat to retain the seat, though.

I already knew that - you live in Texas and are a musician. Bills fan seals the deal. (where the hell did the beer emoji go?) Agreed. The test could be more detailed and specific, and there were a question or two that I rolled my eyes at, but for 5 minutes spent it's pretty accurate.

Not terribly convincing, but it'll work.

So when you said " Yeah, I have sympathy for these people, and have some friends that veer towards this kind of desperation" you were referring to antifa tendencies, not anything else?

What that person's problem is, is that he/she is a jerk. I know two people who have transitioned , and a very good friend is a transvestite, and all three of them are not only very cool people, but quite stable - nothing like that idiot in the video. In fact, I didn't even hear any mention in the dialogue (but I may have missed it) about that jerk being a trans. In good, old fashioned parlance, were I to employ an epithet to describe that person, I'd go with the tried-and-true "bull dyke".

Yep.

Here you go - here's a link to the actual test. https://www.politicalcompass.org/test The old "what would John Kasich do?", eh? I posted the link above. Take the test, post your results honestly. I'll bet you're not as centrist as you think you are. The last time we did this, a few people were surprised at learning what category the fell into. edit: I just took the test myself, and am pretty much the same as a couple years ago when we did this before: Economic Left/Right: 5.5 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.0

I thought that too - I haven't seen much in the way of "reeling" by anyone in this case. It's refreshing to see someone say this for once.

He was also Howard Johnson in Blazing Saddles. RIP

You're scared of liberals, and you pretend you're something you're not out of fear - of what, you don't say. Why would anyone attack such a gutless, non-committal world view?

Well, a handful of idiots taking selfies while they shriek. That sure made a difference.

I put it on par with "your/you're", but to me "self of steam" is comic gold. I still laugh every time I see it.

No, I would not. In fact, only a total dick would. Diversity of thought and belief is the most essential form of diversity there is, and to feel a need to confront someone because they are expressing an opposing belief is only for people who can't handle true diversity or have no respect for other people's first amendment rights. By the way, a major pet peeve of mine: Will you confront someone with different politics THAN you?

Well, today's the big day. Not a very inspired result: https://pjmedia.com/video/watch-liberals-gather-scream-sky-ny-philly/

So Gatorman is female?

Yep, I think you're absolutely right.

It's been a stated goal of AT&T to become a content provider while remaining a delivery provider for some time now. That said, the hierarchy will bend over backwards to avoid providing anything that may alienate potential customers, and CNN doesn't have the best reputation at this point in time. They're also not doing very well in the ratings, as I understand.

Oh, I'm sure they could find something. That's their current MO - redefine something and then hate it for what they now deem it to be. Idiots.

This. I hate NAZIs and loathe commies. The world would be a far better place had neither ever existed.

I see what you did there.

Not me - she's too kneady.

It's safe to include all fiscally conservative ideals if generalizing about the TEA Party movement, but the primary tenet is tax reduction, plain and simply. It is not the taxpayers' responsibility to make up for the complete lack of restraint in spending by our elected officials. Congress must exercise restraint in both appropriating and spending, and there is plenty that can be saved by streamlining the federally-employed workforce, especially considering that the feds have duplicated many services and entities that already exist on the state or local level. We do not need to start by cutting assistance programs. Anyone who pays a federal income tax should be qualified, at least on principle, to receive a tax cut. But if you do not pay federal income tax, then you should neither receive or expect one.

I'm not sure who exactly qualifies as a TEA Party deficit hawk, since the primary focus of all the various TEA Party entities is to lower taxes (hence TEA being an acronym of Taxed Enough Already). Most people who believe in tax reduction are also big believers in stopping congress from continually overspending. Tax reductions do not need to mean greater annual deficits, and there is no reason on this Earth why congress can't be expected to work within a tight budget.

Go away. Far away. Stay there.
