Damn what did you do to incite such fury? I hope you stick around here![]()
If you are anything but a hardline neocon evangelical you are not welcome there.

I was intellectually torturing them in a lowkey way. Exposing cognitive dissonance at every turn when I could. Introducing topics that were taboo. The mods flushed me not soon after when they realized I wasn't going to engage in a titanic shouting match. These people don't like the slow simmers. I got into a few fights about the Uniform Code for Military Justice and what it entails.
I revised my post after reading what he did to get booted from Freerepublic. I knew they were pretty neocon but was not as aware of the religious bit. I didn't get as strong of neocon impression from AR-15 though
Waiting for their authoritarianism to get triggered. A lot of people are actually very authoritarian, but it takes fear for them to really show it. Donald Trump is bringing out a lot of these authoritarian sentiments in people by pushing fear—especially a fear of brown people. They want a strong police state because they're tired of those "uppity blacks" protesting against a crooked police system. They want a wall along the border because they actually believe that it's the fault of brown people that they're struggling instead of the very system they're enabling. They want to keep Muslims out of the country and torture/kill them and their family members because they're under the delusion that terrorists are running rampant in this country, despite the fact that the people they unquestionably support—the police—are far more likely to kill Americans. To top it all off, these same people are very likely to favor military action, which is by far the largest reason why anyone would want to attack this country.
Try making sense of that.

FR is really weird. To this day I still find some very interesting articles there. It is a source of the kind of information you can only get from going around the mainstream media.
At the same time, the comments there are at the holy fuck level of rabid police state bootlicking and war propaganda cheering, with enough Jesusing thrown in to make you vomit.
Looks to me like Trump took another shot at Saudi Arabia tonight. When speaking about torturing family members Trump referred to a family of one of the hijackers that went home 2 days before 9/11 to, and I'm paraphrasing, 'a certain place, and not Iraq'. https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/705602532182069248?s=09
Agreed. He will probably release the remaining pages of the 9/11 report just for this reason alone.
Whenever I hear politicians discussing cutting departments I have flashbacks...
Ahh.. the nostalgia. I'll never forgive the people of Iowa for abandoning him in the days before the caucus when the racism charges hit.
