I don't see where H1 is disagreeing that McVeigh committed the act because of the Branch Davidian attack. However, he notes quite accurately that McVeigh was a prime example of a far right conservative nutcase whose terrorist act can be laid at the door of the far right.
My comment was accurate and on target. Decent Americans want nothing to do with the current version of US conservatism. People like William F. Buckley would be appalled and disgusted by what passes for conservative thought today.
Conservatives often get angry and vituperative when decent Americans resist them, no matter how peacefully it is done.
Why does the idea that people exercised their constitutional right to buy and own property, then chose to use it as they are legally allowed to fill you with rage?
You have it exactly backwards. Reality-averse conservatives have been trying to take over this site for about the past year and a half. The whole Right Wing Echo Chamber has moved in and set up shop.
Your comment reminds me of those Christians who rant about "keeping Christ in Christmas" while they blithely ignore the fact that Christians stole the holiday. Even the most devout biblical scholars acknowledge there is absolutely no way Jesus was born anywhere near that time of year.
So I'm sorry to correct you, but you are 100% wrong.
"I guess they don't care about selling to half the country. They should change their name, 'Cards against conservatism' ".
That would be the half of the country that either has no money, no sense of humour, or both. Why should they waste time and effort trying to sell to people who wouldn't buy the game anyway?
"Since economists first began keeping track in 1970, every decade has ended with fewer people in the middle class than at the start. And 2015 was the first year on record when Americans in the middle-income bracket did not make up the majority of the country: that is, those above and below the middle class (rich and poor combined) make up half the population..."
Just because you don't know where to look, or how, doesn't mean it isn't happening. But hey, you just went to the mall and there were people there, so it's all good.
For some reason, Musk seems to incite a lot of rage among the "It'll Never Work" crew. When you're 40 years old and mom is still paying the internet bill, seeing somebody who has literally changed the world do well must hurt.
Are you sure it would be powerful enough? I heard she had a plug in model scaled to her weight, but when she used it, there were rolling blackouts across half the city.
Your fake concern is amusing...almost as amusing as your attempt to re-cast alt right archetypes as something out of Grapes of Wrath. Your behaviour elsewhere here is a much better guide to "the real you".
Thanks for playing, though. You have yourself a lovely day.
If you were annoyed by the rudeness of that DNS jerk, read on down the thread a bit. In a back-and-forth exchange, "hyades1" gives him a slap-down for the ages. Turn your sarcasm detector up to "ROFL" and enjoy.
It's like this: the starting points are different, because the US is a profoundly racist society (as those of us outside it see quite clearly, though apparently people living there don't). Black people often start off with two strikes against them. White people, on the other hand, don't.
So when somebody takes a shot at archetypal trailer park denizens, they're insulting people who worked hard to attain a level of ignorance and poverty that people of colour have thrust upon them. The social degeneracy is, I guess, something of a bonus, or perhaps a symptom.

He's an American. The version of history those poor bastards are taught has very little to do with reality.

So it would be fair to say that on this issue, at least, you two are dick-a-metrically opposed.
"That ticks almost all the boxes!"
Then set Trump loose on the set and he can tickle all the boxes...whether they like it or not.

The Envy. It is strong in this one. And so bitter!
So you're the original Anonymous Coward?

I wish I could say you were wrong. I wonder whether the influx of right wing political drones is a cause or a symptom.
Only willfully ignorant people don't already know the answer to that question.
I've been testing Epic. So far, I really like it. It's based on Chromium, and gives a very high priority to privacy.

That's like announcing popcorn that causes ungovernable episodes of explosive diarrhea will be available at all your local supermarkets.
"Subhumans...where have I heard that phrase before, Adolf?"

I hope your angry buddy is foolish enough to respond to this. I'm laughing so hard I've truly got tears in my eyes.
This is gold!
The answer to your question is, "Not soon enough!

I hope this helps.
