That thread is the wingnut version of an Uncivil Rights March.

By the time I got to

First we gave them 3/5, but oh no, that wasn’t enough for them. Then “they” set up a college fund only for United “Negroes,” and then at the supermarket one time, this big “black” lady looked at me…

I was idly rubbing my eyes and wondering why Gavin hadn’t put it in block quotes like all the other insane comments and then I realized Oh it’s Gavin poking fun again, but seriously the first few words could have come from any of those nutcases.

Fizzelated.

You know, the dedicated Sadlynauts come up for these things on the Fung Wah.

Yep, did it once myself.

However, uh, I’m living in Berlin, and as they say, the commute’s a bit long.

Cheers though. I hope to make another one o’ them shindigs sometime.

Reading this post was like floating through the LSD hallucinations of 56 brain-damaged self-loathing orangutans.

Actually, the LSD was vastly more pleasant.

Groovy, even.

liberals, however, simply won’t admit to themselves that such limits can exist, because limits are douchey.

Unless, you know, we’re talking about fossil fuels (of which there is only so much on Earth), or potable water, or atmosphere to absorb pollutants and greenhouse gases or… well… anything where there actually is a physically limited amount.

Things like jobs and money supply depend on economic conditions. Not to mention how “they’re taking all our jobs/land/whatever” has been used as an excuse to hate on immigrants for centuries, when the real economy-killers tend to be MBAs with fancy ideas.

the conservative lies to others, and the liberal lies to herself.

Actually, the conservative lies to both, and the liberal lies to neither.

Dumbass.

Hey Officer Bitchett, get me my coffee and doughnuts, dammit, you dumb honky motherfuckin’ cracker!

Puh-leeze. She has neither the depth nor the charm.

“conservatives can be anti-immigration, for the sensible reason that they want to share limited resources among fewer people. ”

…except when liberals invoke “limited resources,” at which point conservatives (or, as always in discussing U.S. “conservatives,” “conservatives”) indignantly cite the endless inventiveness of capitalism (but only if “the market is allowed to work”) and pooh-pooh the idea of limits.

But thanks for playing our little game.

The Goldberg Certainty principle (Knowledge inhibits intelligence) has to come into play here.

conservatives can be anti-immigration, for the sensible reason that they want to share limited resources among fewer people. limits are taboo, however, so their stated reason is some wingnut thing like swine flu. liberals, however, simply won’t admit to themselves that such limits can exist, because limits are douchey.

the conservative lies to others, and the liberal lies to herself.

Everybody here is smarter than me, and quicker, and funnier.

It’s like getting in trouble at school and going to detention and finding out that all the best people are there.

Delightful.
