Blood moon, that's right, can't wait!
So I decided to check out Colbert on the late show, naturally I watched the episode with Trump as the guest. Seems like he's getting a lot of political guests.
Off to watch episode 2 of South Park for this season. Episode 1 was great.
Second episode was not as good but still good ! I love how they have Jenner run over somebody every he drives off in a car.

We managed to take a very complex topic and dumbed it down to non sequitur cheap shots and logically nonsensical talking points. And, what's more, most of the jabs weren't even remotely funny. Time to move on.
We should talk about the 2nd amendment now. Lakshmi.Sparthosx said: »

War on Women
War on Planned Parenthood
War on Benghazi
War on EPA
War on Wealth Distribution
War on Affordable Healthcare
War on Table Legs
War on Toyota
War on Plastics
War on Girlboys
War on Crayons
Did I miss any?
Never mind that it's the liberals who actually declare these "wars" but Republicans are apparently the warmongers here....

Come down off your perch my friend.
Where do you see me throwing around wars?
Is this trying to change the subject to ISIS. You are in a war. You just aren't fighting back, yet. You think peace is watching millions of people abandon their homes on foot while savages run rampant from country to country killing everyone in sight.
Yeah, go you.
Your answer to every American conflict is a dose of yee haw bomb the ever living *** out of the area. Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Russia etc etc.
Yet fiscal responsibility? When we're still on the tab for the last two wars without considering how much more we'll be paying injured vets for decades to come? Got more trillions to flush.
There isn't a war conservatives don't want to sink their teeth into. I guess we'll just bankrupt the whole place fighting ISIS and Iran on two fronts. Because the last two front war went over swell.

Pretty sure he meant war against nations.
The list you've made is what republicans think democrats think of them. Does it matter? Point still stands, liberals/democrats wanted the war against Iraq and Afghanistan just as much as Republicans, except when it came to the point where those wars started to become unpopular. Then they started balking, saying that they never wanted the war in the first place.
Kindof like how nobody seemed to have voted for Obama in 2008 or 2012....

War on Galka really needs to end.
How many more Galka WHM must quit because of rampant inequality between Taru and Galka. I say we raise the MP tax on Taru, offer Galka a subsidy to encourage mage growth to wean ourselves off bloated MP pools.
If we want to be mage efficient for the new Crystal Era we need to invest in our Galka. They may look like derpy bearpeople but they're Vana'dielians like you and me.

By definition, yes. I'm fairly certain that a good number of the Democrats who voted for it consider themselves to be liberal, though.

So, Republicans are conservatives, Democrats are conservatives, Bernie Sanders is moderate, and Obama is a member of the tea party.

No duh. But when a large majority of a certain party claim a particular ideology and vice versa, it's not exactly earth-shattering to switch the terms out occasionally.

I suppose it's not earth-shattering, but that doesn't make it correct, especially when the person using the terms incorrectly obviously knows better.

This is what he said:
What, are you denying that liberals/democrats didn't vote for the Iraq War? Or Afghanistan?
There were liberals that voted for the war. There were Democrats that voted for the war. There were liberal Democrats that voted for the war. Stop playing semantics with his terminology.

Well, it's easier than addressing uncomfortable truths.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
