  1. Do you actually think that's the idea? Because that would include the United States of America as well. Do you think liberals want to disband the actual country itself, or do you think it's a little bit more complicated than that?
  2. Was the Duke of York's name...York? Or New, the Duke of York? nvm I just looked it up - the Duke of York's name was James Stuart. So how is New York named after him?
  3. I guess you can make an argument, and you could apply that argument to the first 250 years of America, but then the question is this: Is having a different/additional national anthem a gross and profane example of a race of people having something forced on them and shoved down their throat?
  4. There's a distinct difference between "racial divides" that are voluntary and wanted by members of a particular race, and racial divides that are forced on them and shoved down their throat with the power of an empire behind them. What's next, black MUSIC!?
  5. You don't understand what the word equating means.
  6. I've seen 47. Guess I gotta watch the Godfather 1 & 2 for the first time, and Leon
  7. The student tickets had to be validated if selling to non-students. Validation meant that you/they had to pay the difference between student ticket price and face value price. Also, my mom and her flip phone are not going to like this.
  8. This is about spot on. There's a lot of good instinct in libertarianism, but for some super weird reason the only people you see arguing for it are people who aren't poor and trapped at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. Our country is currently a lot of socialism for the rich and powerful, and a lot of rugged individualist capitalist for the poor and helpless. If we flipped that around some, where there's a good and helpful safety net paired with tools for success and growth at the bottom, then yeah, let's libertarianism the hell out of the top.
  9. Essentially, yes. There are many diffeerent forms and avenues of power, not having one doesn't negate others.
  10. Which would have nothing to do with whatever hypothetical back room washington power she could have.
  11. No, it isn't. In comparison to Putin, he does it as the president and with state control over the media. Hillary had neither of those things.
  12. Putin does it out in the open. • He has any real potential opponents murdered or constantly detained/harassed by security services and shut out from the election by concocted crime convictions. • He squashes demonstrations and protests with draconian laws that leave no room for something akin to the first amendment. • Election officials are controlled by the state, and many stuff ballot boxes. • He/the state controls and owns the media So in a nutshell he doesn't do it in the shadows, and he uses the power of the centralized state. The Clinton's don't have or couldn't operate the same way, so I mean I'm not at all a Clinton conspiracy theorist but Hillary losing the election(s) isn't a proof through to the claim that the Clinton's obviously don't or couldn't have some powerful behind closed doors influence.
  13. Let's say the Clinton's are frighteningly powerful in the shadows. Can have people killed, have loyalists in different areas of government who can squeeze and mold things to their liking. How does that kind of power extrapolate to controlling an election with citizens voting and citizens volunteering/counting ballots?
  14. Yes, you would... because they are. Have you seen his approval ratings?
  15. What do you mean by "it"? Something that doesn't exist?
  16. There are lots of "eagle on top of something round" insignias, including a lot inside our own country and government, but everything in America, and in other western countries, that has that general composition has the eagle facing west. Nazi Germany's eagle facing east/right was/is an important distinction that made it unique and specific.
  17. It's a parody site. The banner on the bottom reads "This web site is made possible by a generous gift from one of Jeff Fortenberry's constituents and is maintained by Sniff Fartenberry Productions, which is really a name we just made up for Seeing Red Nebraska, and we obviously have no connection to this useless Gilead commander's re-election campaign, which we try to stay upwind from at all times." Seeing Red Nebraska's site says "nebraska politics from the left"
  18. Then how is there violence there?
  19. That's true, but they won't be traveling to several states, having hundreds from other states traveling to them, being confined into small airplane cabins, spending time in hotels and so forth, which are all big factors in increased spreading.
  20. Well yeah....but she's brown and opinionated.
  21. Well, it only took them 40+ years to figure it out, but better late than never I guess.
