Equivalencies


 The entire thread can be found here.

We survived Bush. You will survive Obama.
How is assuming all Republican voters are evil or ignorant any different than when Republican voters assume all Democrat voters are drug riddled, welfare mooching, baby killers?

It's become far too easy and, to a more disturbing trend, socially acceptable to vilify individuals for disagreeing about politics.

Alex McDowell Anti-science, anti-worker, anti-women, anti-LGBT, anti-peace, anti-education, anti-Americans, anti-progress, anti-environnment. Pro-gun, pro-slavery (both outsourcing jobs, and the private prison/slave industry in our own country), pro-theft, pro-racist, pro-propagandist, pro-lying, pro-bullying, pro-theocracy, pro-plutocracy. Hell, I'm forgetting quite a few...Yeah that's no false equivalency you got going there. I didn't even mention a party name. Do you know which one I'm talking about?

And further down...:
Alex McDowell We survived Bush. You will survive Obama. "You know, you're three times more likely to be robbed by a black person than a white person. Does that mean you consider all black people to be dangerous? Following your previous example, it would seem that is the case."
Really? Define "robbed". Nah. Not racist, pro-plutocracy at all.

Alex McDowell Give us one example of a GOP elected official left that is either not bat-shit crazy with racism, religious Dominionism, sexism, anti-science, or xenophobia, or is not in it to steal the treasury for everything they can get their hands on for themselves, or their plutocratic masters. Just one. Tell us all about your "moderates" that are looking out for the best interests of America's future.

Alex McDowell I'm desperately trying to find the video clip of that wonderful moment in the 2012 GOP debates when the question was asked about creationism where EVERY candidate raised their hand. Harder to find than I would have thought. John Huntsman at least regretted the moment. How's his standing in the party these days?
Alex McDowell NOW, I apologize. My memory wasn't very good. It was about spending cuts v taxes. The "10-1 question".

Alex McDowell Still indicative of intransigence and failure to deal with reality. And the lock-step of the party.
Alex McDowell You may not have supported him, you may not have even voted for him, but when all was shaken out, this was your guy:

When he doesn't know a camera's rolling, the GOP candidate shows his disdain for half of America.

Vershire School

http://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/05/us/education-vermont-seeks-tighter-rules-for-prviate-schools.html We made the New York Times http://marthamoxley.com/news/042802gt.htm And our OTHER claim to infamy : Micheal Skakel and the Moxley murder This was one of the places I went to school. A very unique place in a very unique time. Pictured, the dining hall in the main building, "The Lodge", and a few years after the place closed down. For Vershireites with foggy memories (for whatever reasons), or nostalgia: http://web.archive.org/web/20080624190520/http://www.vershireschool.org/ I think Chip Allee put this together, but it's no longer maintained.
