    Conservatives are labeled as supporting white-nationals, Liberals are labeled as supporting the KKK. Neither is actually true, only a projection from the opposing side.

    According to the actions of many on the left, yes, that is exactly what is happening. They're saying conservatives are hate mongers despite evidence to the contrary

    I do believe visual acuity is far less a mark of distinction for our species than verbal acuity.

  10. No it doesn't. "Kill the live feed." is an accurate use of the word. Most words have more than one meaning. But, just to hammer it home (Merriam-Webster's):

    He threatened to kill them.

    For reference, this will let you know where the missions landed. Viking 1 is close to the equator and 2 is about half way to the pole.
