I cant argue with my friends point

Logical1 said:
A friend and I were discussing todays politics. One of the subjects was why it seems so many young people hate the United States.

His answer was blame teachers and college professors. I could not argue with that!!! Today's young simply have been brain washed by radical left wing teachers and professors!!!

It made me sick to my stomach when the W. Bush war criminals spewed their bull**** mantra, "if you're against the Iraq war you hate the troops!".

trumpanzees interpret people wanting reform, or campaigning against a war as "hating the united states". It's a decade-old fear tactic that's lost both it's credibility and efficacy.
 
~ School Choice is a very good idea. Hopefully this will soon be implemented ✔

Science shows no evidence of a creator. You believe in things when you have evidence to support them, you don’t disbelieve when you have evidence something doesn’t exist. For someone who claims to have gotten good grades as a physics student you clearly didn’t learn when your teacher explained what “Falsifiability” is.

Or more likely your claim to have been a good physics student is as factual as your claim to not be a conservative.

Check out this science.

 
Your friend is right. You should learn what a message topic is.

George Tenet single handedly caused the WMD story to start war. And I think he was put there by Clinton.

I go back to me being anti the Vietnam war. But not for your reasons. I believed Johnson used the troops for Politics.

I became a Republican at age 42. But lord knows I paid the price of being a Democrat from around 1960 to 1980.

Obama is an example of someone who didn't try to create a culture war by comparing half this nation to Nazi's.

Another Rob whataboutism fail.

It’s weird how the Right consistently hates education. It’s almost as if reality itself has a liberal bias and when people learn more about the world, they are less likely to hold the ignorance-based beliefs of conservatism.

The social conservative Christian right is our version of the Taliban. In different societies, the same groups exist in different forms. When you hold such fundamentalist and absolute views of the world then knowledge and science become your natural enemies.

This question obviously still stands. I frankly do not blame you for not paying attention to the incompetent Obama.

Our version of the Taliban are those ripping down statues. Holding cities hostage. Killing cops and children.

Notice when black children get killed the Democrats ignore that. The mayor of Atlanta pleads with democrats, wake up.

Conservatives and libertarians always have and always will hate anything to do with public works. After all, children might be indoctrinated by our public roads, trash collectors, police, social security, civil rights, prisons and schools, etc. Currently we all can choose these services, it's called voting for your representative who agree of how our government should be run. That's how America was conceived and continues to function.

Conservatives, never understood that it take a village to raise a child. They want to keep their child hidden in their basement ensuring that they'll never to interact with other kids and teachers who might give them info, or other ideas that might cause them to question the indoctrination of hate of, 'the other', by their parents.

If conservatives don't like our system, they can vote in radical conservative, libertarian or reactionary politicians who will do your bidding and allow everyone choose who or what corporation they want to provide the services above, otherwise cry me a river. Thankfully, there's a majority of Americans who prefer what all Americans, provide to all Americans...

Kids getting killed is caused by the drug war. Are you saying you don't realize that?

The only solution I know of to the drug war is to end drug prohibition. Have Republicans proposed a solution other than more police and more prisons?

The drug war was ramped up by Nixon and Regan. Incarcerations rapidly increased. At the same time Republicans promoted looser gun laws.

Loose gun laws + drog prohibition = gun violence

Stop pretending there's some easy solution here. Georgia is a red state. Why haven't any Republican presidents solved the issue.

I'm fully awake. You're still asleep. Your views are simplistic.

Moreover, you agree with the Taliban about gays, guns and a government guided by the religious beliefs of the majority.

"Hates education" or "hates indoctrination". Quick question, is male and female defined by biology or a social construct?
 
Logical1 said:
In the conversation he reminded me of what he told me several years ago when one of his sons was in college. His son told him virtually all his professors were left wing, but one was rabid left. His son said that if he or anyone turned in a paper that had anything that was the least big right, it was an automatic "D"!!!!

It's weird that I've been through college and know hundreds of college graduates and can't find anyone I personally know with these same kind of stories.

Male and female are biological realities related to sex, while gender, identities, rolls and attitudes are a social construct.
