The Hofoid House of Absurd & Ignorant Posts VII

I voted for Trump in 2016 and I will probably vote for him in 2020.

I've always been a social democrat and I still am. I realize social democratic programs are impossible to maintain with permissive immigration policies.

I wonder what happened to Mortimer to make him so obsessed with immigration policy. I really feel like there is an origin story here, kind of like Tender's bike being stolen by a refugee (or whatever) when he was a kid.

I assume the incumbent was never in danger of losing to this clown.

BTW, why don't all these left wing purist fanatics organize some primary challenges to these RI state legislature DINOs instead of whining about Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp?

Seeing as how there are several progressive primary challengers in Rhode Island and Manchin and Heitkamp were easily renominated...

In an extreme situation, Crowley could actually still win the general, or in a perfect vote-split with Ocasio, throw the seat to the Republican Nominee.

Judging from this and your previous post, maybe you should take a break from this thread.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

What percentage of Democrats believe that homosexuals are "born that way" even when there is no scientific evidence to make that assertion?  What is the likelihood that such beliefs are, in fact, narrative-driven for political reasons?

[Atlas Force]

Nobody will care by November. Actually, nobody cares now.

My God, you're turning into Wulfric. Making the same banal statements in every thread. We get it, you don't think anything that happens before November 1 has any significance whatsoever because the electorate has a short attention span. Why are you even following politics at this point in the year if you think that?

Look, I get it. It's a lot more "fun" to move the Wyoming Senate race to safe D based off this comment from a guy in North Carolina that nobody is paying attention to in July. But much to the chagrin of many here, that is not how politics works.

As far as why I'm following it, it's a combination of boredom and the fact that the primary elections are occasionally interesting.

Anyway, the Dem hacks shouldn't be too upset. I'm on your side a lot as well. Like when the people here panic about Dems dropping 0.3 points on the generic ballot in March or insisting Jon Tester making mean comments about Dr. Whatshisname in May will torpedo his re-election chances.

Disgusting. What is the likelihood that Fuzzy ignoring myriad of scientific research and human experience is, in fact, narrative-driven for bigoted reasons and missing the times when they were making homosexuals miserable and abusing their human rights?

Also, anyone who claims to be pro-life yet opposes adoption rights for gay couples is a massive hypocrite.

I wonder if most evangelicals think gay couples giving a child a good life is worse than abortion.

I don't ignore human experience, but the scientific research is just not there to state that particular conclusion.  If it were, this would be proclaimed from the rooftops.

Although I've posted this many times, I am opposed to sodomy laws, etc, and I'm opposed to discrimination against LGBT in housing, employment, etc.  I don't condone meanness and harassment (although to some, merely quoting Scripture on this subject is considered mean and harassing).  I'm not going to refute Scripture, however.  That's really what people are asking me to do.  That my God means little or nothing to many of these folks doesn't mean that I should view him as anything less than LORD. 

I've attempted, and will always attempt to put myself in the positions of others even when there is a chasm that can't be fully bridged, and try to assume the best of people.  I like to think people will do that in return, but there are some here (not Parrotguy, but others) that aren't interested in that one bit.  I'm posting this for the reasonable and the rational, and not for those who are as "scortched earth" oriented as the factions they despise.

But there is myriad of research that points exactly to this direction. Sure, there could be social factors, but they're likely very weak- scientists agree that the biological explanations are by far the strongest. Sure, you could claim that anything is not exactly proven- such is science, it's a process that always discovers new facts. But when something has so much evidence for it, why would you claim that believing it is "political"? If anything, claimign that it's purely from social factors is clearly politically motivated.
Also, the respect I've got for your ability to have civilized discussion is mutual, I've got two questions for you on this subject:
1. If you refuse to give up on this particulat law in the old testament, do you also follow the rest of the old testament, considering there is nothing on homosexuality in the new testament? Do you observe the Shabat? Do you eat pork and other non-kosher food? I'm sure you don't observe these so why exactly focus on the "lay with other men" part?
2. Would you consider randomly coming up to a gay person and quoting this particular line of the scripture mean and harrassing? Because I've experienced this, and while I personally found it hilarious and it made my day, I do believe it's clearly not a legitimate thing to do.

Low iq trash. No you SJW types, this has nothing to do with race or gender... she belongs in the same pile of low iq trash as kid rock, Ted Nugent, Roy Moore, Tom Cotton, Corey Stewart, Paul Nehlen, Don Blankenship, etc. So stop with the yells of race and sexism.

Imagine unironically comparing Ocasio-Cortez to Roy Moore and Don Blankenship

Totally equivalent.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

If people think my changes in views are insincere, I am happy to make a longer post explaining why I changed in more detail, but the reason I did not is precisely because I did not want the attention. I may however take a break from posting if people are really that bothered by it.

Does that actually matter though? The problem many users appear to have with you is that they believe you're trolling, ergo anything you say really can't be trusted. Whether or not you think that is a fair perception of your behavior, it's what you've created with your posts.

Well that's rather unfair. It means there's literally no way I can defend myself.

To be honest I'm surprised that many people even care. But I still think I'm basically being persecuted for having unpopular opinions, especially an unpopular switch.

Literally no one buys this switch for a second, given your “earlier” politics.

And btw, you’re not being “persecuted” for your phony beliefs. You’re being criticized for being a dickish and mentally unstable troll. Grow up and stop pretending to be a victim.

So you are allowed to make a thread out of the blue personally attacking me for no reason, accusing me of being phony, but I am not allowed to defend myself? I never claimed to be a victim except in the narrow context that your attack on me is wrong and unfair. I don't think it's unreasonable of me to defend myself against personal attacks.

You know very little of my earlier politics except that I was a partisan Democrat, if you really understood what I think is wrong with the state of things today and what I am increasingly realizing the root causes of these problems are, this party switch I have decided on carefully would not be such a surprise to you.

Lmao, good to see black people attempting to invent their own equivalent of ‘n-r’ by calling all white women who do things they don’t like ‘Becky’ (also applies to ‘yt’ I guess). Tremendous stuff.

To be quite honest, I think ICE is just doing it's job. They are enforcing the law. What do you dems want? For illegal immigrants to just get away without consequence?

1940: Just enforcing the law and doing my job

I find it incredibly strange that you would compare what is happening at the border to nazi germany. It really shows why the democratic party is losing voters. Way to be separated from reality.

Exactly. These aliens are the ones invading our country. If anything, the illegals are the Nazis and ICE are the heroic resistance partisans.

The same reason why we’re okay with Ojeda having voted for Trump & Harley Rouda being a former Republican & Kasich donor.

Big tent, not everybody has to have the exact same positions & voting history to be a Democrat.

Is there an abbreviation guide for this forum???

Labour under Corbyn are the UK equivalent of Trump and the Republicans. Albeit it a bit nicer and way more intelligent.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

He's unpopular enough at this point that I can see large numbers of undecideds voting Republican just to spite him.

Yes I remember that poll where "spiting James Coney" was listed as the top issue amongst undecideds this election.

HP. I respected her and was initially glad she defeated Political Boss Crowley, but she let the celebrity get to her head. She became a sour winner despite Crowley's very gracious song-endorsement and showed her character as smug and disrespectful. And of course, being a socialist and anti-Israel doesn't really make me like her more.

How dare she disrespect the people running this country into the ground?
