No one will publicly say "i don't want to be a dumbass laughingstock anymore", but they'll sure as hell <i>privately</i> say it, and the only indication we'll have is that there aren't as many conservatives as there used to be, despite no one having witnessed an actual mind change.<br /><br />Polite debate is designed for public conversions. Since those don't exist, start twisting the knife.steevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620735494191381865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-86334541004064163482014-04-24T15:56:06.875-05:002014-04-24T15:56:06.875-05:00For a lot of things to occur, there has to be a cr...For a lot of things to occur, there has to be a critical mass first.<br /><br />Whether it is another piece of evidence documenting the right's insanity and sedition, or someone like Bill Nye going out and being visibly critical of stupid ideas, at first the majority of the population won't really pay attention.<br /><br />I'll just leave this here:<br /><br /><i>First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.<br /></i><br /><br />DG: You're also fighting the good fight. Most people in Illinois, nevermind the US or the universe, have never heard of you or read your work. But that doesn't matter. You're still documenting the right's utter bullshittery and keeping it from going into the memory hole.<br /><br />Thanks again.Cinesiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14996950964848333121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-83006463672578778792014-04-24T15:47:21.944-05:002014-04-24T15:47:21.944-05:00The raging right gets away with calculated, extrem...The raging right gets away with calculated, extremist rhetoric because Democrats are too cautious and courteous to call them BS-propaganda-slinging hacks to their faces. We need to hear more people say:<br /><br />I don’t respect climate change deniers, and I refuse to pretend that I do. They don’t pretend to respect us. <br /><br />I don’t respect evolution underminers, and I refuse to pretend that I do. <br /><br />I don’t respect Wall St. crooks, and I refuse to pretend that I do. <br /><br />I don’t respect reproductive rights dismantlers, and I refuse to pretend that I do. <br /><br />I don’t respect those who commit crimes against humanity, and I refuse to pretend that I do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-77305628310512234602014-04-24T13:48:14.870-05:002014-04-24T13:48:14.870-05:00The thing to do would be to feature Chomsky, but n...The thing to do would be to feature Chomsky, but not identify him.

Look, you’ve done the background work, the rest…wait for it…should be easy. The world needs this shit documented in hardcover. It would be a book I would gladly buy so I could give it to anyone I know who ever says anything like: “Brooks makes a good point”.<br />I know it’s a lot to ask. Just give it a thought if you haven’t already.<br />Also, don’t stop beating on that bastard. Some commenter’s occasionally disparage your continuing commentary about him, but it needs to be said every fucking time that pencil dick opens his yap or types one goddamn syllable (my apologies to all the pencils in the known universe).<br />I now return to my lurking status.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
