"It's not racism when Trump takes a strong stance against Mexicans and others who illegally enter the United States. Mexican isn't even a race, it's a nationality! One can't be racist against a nationality!"
Trying to plead ignorance, eh? White Mexicans aren't Mexicans, but brown Salvadorans are Mexicans. Racists don't ask a Mexican whether he's a Mexican or not before hating on him. They don't need to! They can tell just by looking.
"It's not racism when Trump takes a strong stance against Islamic terrorists who wish to harm the United States."
You mean he'll refuse entry to Muslims. You're right, it's not racism. It's religious bigotry. That's way more UnAmerican than racism. BTW, did Trump ever explain how he'd figure out who was a Muslim?
Trump was is also an Obama Birther. That's pure racism. Even if Obama had been born in Kenya he still would have been a natural born citizen of the US. Meanwhile his opponent in 2008 really wasn't born in the US, but nobody cared. Why not?
You may be a tad paranoid. It's possible the stupidities you mentioned might have been carried out by different people than this heavy-handed censorship.
7-9 year old kids will often have some reaction to porn. They will think it's funny, gross, embarrassing at that age. They may sneak a peek because they know it's forbidden, but its teenagers and adults who are obsessed with sex, not kids.
Yes, that's what socialism is, and no, that's not what thenordic countries are doing. A regulated market is not democratic control of the means of production.
The Senate is supposed to consent to the nominee, not the nomination process. They should vote on whether they think the nominated person should be a justice, not whether they like the current president. Announcing that Obama's nominee will be opposed whoever it is goes beyond the constitutional authority of the Senate.
Unfortunately, there's not much to be done about it right now. We do live in a representative constitutional democracy, but it's maintenance requires a certain level care and faith. Laws alone aren't enough to hold it together. If you think the Senate should rubber stamp all nominees, or you think the Senate should delay all nominees, then you don't really care for our democracy. If the Senate itself thinks that way, we're in trouble.

The only way the country collapses is if Trump voters don't accept defeat in November.
And yet GP is right. Democrats are always left cleaning up the sty after Republicans crap all over the place.
She's not going to be indicted. That's Republican fantasy land.
"a strict Constitutionalist "
Is he for Obama appointing a supreme court justice or against it?
What if Trump wins the nomination?
"SJWs like to tell us that freedom of association died with the Civil Rights act,"
You're the first person I've ever heard say that.
Here's tidbit that will make your day: It's perfectly legal for you to make a whites only club! Just don't open a bar with it.
"SJW is a word used to describe the fanatical ones."
With fanatic usually defined as "anyone who calls me out for acting like a dick".
How will Ocean pay for Wall?
" you could snap up all the coal firms in the world right now for $150 million " Is this some kind of joke? I don't get it.

My experience is that those who are interested in looking at porn are old enough to look at it.
Money doesn't work. People work. Energy works. Money is a lubricant.

Republicans always trot this out. The Borking of Bork was about Bork. It's not like the Democrats refused to vote on the next nominee.
The court is always balanced. Each change in the court just changes the balancing point.
That's funny that they think they can control the convention.
You're leaving out many worlds interpretation which is consistent with all points.
On Slashdot, it's just because he's smarter than they are.
As if you would know.
Congrats, you are not an asshole.
Tip: if you aren't being discriminatory, then nobody is complaining about you.
Your answer to gender discrimination is some sort of self-segregation?
