radio silence

and now for the facts... i'm being coerced into posting this by the way
Even the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan clarified that Black was neither a Klansman nor a sympathizer.

Korematsu v United States

 

[Rob Roy]

Yeah, those damn racist southern Democrats of the '30's.

Oh, isn't that who morphed into the current Republican base after 1964 CRA?

If you don't like FDR, then don't ever sign up for any of his social programs. They aren't mandatory.

Thank you for admitting that the two party system is a ploy and that the same thuggish ideas can be cloaked in either red or blue.

Oh, and by the way FDR was from New York state, which I guess is "south" if you live in Quebec. Wink.

I realize the error. And made another post about it to compensate. Good catch, I threw another one.

Admitting errors is a step in the right direction.
Now if only trump supporters were as willing to admit their error of being fooled by a dictator. (Putin or trump, take your pick).

Rampages like this will be used to justify ever more security, ever more investigation, ever fewer civil rights. The perfect foils for the New World Order (the fascist super-nationalist corporations).

The insurance lobby should not be allowed to dictate laws. Big pharma should not a be allowed to make medical policy. A bank/investment house that's 'too big to fail' is a direct threat to our national security and must be seized and dismantled according to 'orderly resolution' rules for failed lenders.

And every fucking dime that enters politics from any source but a registered voter MUST END, and each voter limited to a universally accessible sum, say $100. That includes their own money.

Failure to conform to the rules disqualifies the candidate from being accepted to serve in office, period.

These aren't new ideas. It's only recently we've found ourselves being snowed on a mass scale by those who would profit from democracy's demise and told that these concepts are anything but essential to the people's control over their government and not the other way around.

Anti-intellectualism says that knowledge itself is unnecessary. This is a thread that could unravel the very tapestry of civilization itself.

Korematsu v United States

The decision of the case, written by Justice Hugo Black, found the case largely indistinguishable from the previous year's Hirabayashi v. United States decision, and rested largely on the same principle: deference to Congress and the military authorities, particularly in light of the uncertainty following Pearl Harbor. Justice Black further denied that the case had anything to do with racial prejudice:

Korematsu was not excluded from the Military Area because of hostility to him or his race. He was excluded because we are at war with the Japanese Empire, because the properly constituted military authorities feared an invasion of our West Coast and felt constrained to take proper security measures, because they decided that the military urgency of the situation demanded that all citizens of Japanese ancestry be segregated from the West Coast temporarily, and, finally, because Congress, reposing its confidence in this time of war in our military leaders—as inevitably it must—determined that they should have the power to do just this.

Bannon, lol. Fucking slug. He belongs in a sealed oil drum.

I meant to mention: I dig that countertop, man. We had the same stuff in the 70s...

Big fan. Like the vintage 50s/60s WOOD PANELING in my small creepy room.

Staples and tape marks on the walls, weird dirty personal items.

Winning.

 

[ttystikk]

are you on the same page with what he is literally doing?

Of course not. He hasn't seen the systematic chipping away of generations worth of protections specifically erected against PEOPLE LIKE CHUMP.

 

[spandy]

Let's see- said it during campaign, is doing it now, I'm seeing it on news feeds. I'd say so

They cry and "protest" and forget to realize that its only them who aren't getting what they want.

So far so good I say.

How has anything trump has done over the last 10 days possitively affected your life?
Now think about how what he has done has negatively affected the lives of millions of people directly or indirectly.
Do you give any shits about the greater good?

I support the greater good, just not your greater good.

 

[HAF2]

Greater good = the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

Do you really think "your good" is the best for the most people? Or just the people that you feel are the most important?

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/utilitarianism-history/

The Classical Utilitarians, Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, identified the good with pleasure, so, like Epicurus, were hedonists about value. They also held that we ought to maximize the good, that is, bring about 'the greatest amount of good for the greatest number'.

I don't know who you're winking at, choomer's not here.

I neither said FDR was from the south or racist. You said he was racist, though.
When KKK lynchings were continuing in the 1930's south, Eleanor went down and made speeches to the dumb fucking rebels to try to reason with them. I'm sure FDR asked her to go and appeal to them.

If 51% of the world are assholes, then the greater good gets tossed aside.

How do you figure 51% of the world supports donald trump? Or was that 51% is positively affected by him?
I'm going with less than 1% will see any positive outcomes from the trump presidency. The rich elite.

If around 25% of the eligible voters voted for him, his world wide support is around 8%.

Oh wait, maybe 9.5%. Forgot about Russia.

Ever see a bolt of lightning strike a tree?

I have.

Ever see a terrorist kill someone up close and personal?

Me neither.

I don't live in fear like President Bannon.

I once saw a cow on the roof of a cotton house. But I haven't seen no terrorist kill a man.

You certainly don't seem inocent but rather complacent so Then if you are not facist, You must be an insesible follower, a dimwitted indoctrinate, or a sharpened tool. I take you for the former mostly.
