    You think China was ever our friend? They're as bad as Russia without the good parts. They play nice every once in a while because of our huge consumer base and ridiculously friendly trading agreements. At least TPP won't be going forward to make things even worse.

    She'd have lost by more if it wasn't for the winner take all method used by a lot of the states. She'd have lost upstate NY for example which would have been a few of the electoral votes for that state. Parts of CA too. This time around, it was basically the super large cities that voted for her en mass. Almost everything else went red. That was enough to gain the overall popular vote, oddly enough.

    The difference is that most of our hideous caveman stuff (Kill, anti-gay, eye-for-an-eye, etc) was in the Old Testament that was supposed to have been superseded by the more friendly Post-Jesus New Testament.

    Higher bone density makes swimming a bit harder. If I remember correctly, there are some structural advantages in the legs that help with running compared to a Caucasian with the same level of conditioning. We all have strengths and weaknesses, both intellectually and physically. It's time to stop using them to divide us. Affirmative action is racist and serves only to divide us and pander to and weaken the "beneficiaries". The left will never win an election again once the minorities realize what has been done to them by the left.

    What does being a good swimmer have to do with being in the Coast Guard? They use boats, precisely to avoid having to swim.

    Really? Just in case you are not the only one that can't connect the dots I'll explain this.

    To get in the Coast Guard they require the recruits to demonstrate a very basic level of being able to swim. This is for the safety of the crew since if there is a problem on the boat then they will have to be able to swim some distance to safety. Also, there are a lot of positions in the Coast Guard which require people to be able to swim, such as the people that have to jump in the water to save others from drowning. Those that are the strongest swimmers (if you excuse the pun) float to the top. This is a bell curve. Statistically speaking Europeans are better swimmers on the average than Africans. This has a lot to do with the large number of coastal European societies compared to Africa and natural selection setting in. If the people applying to the Coast Guard is even close to the statistical norm of the general American public then this tendency will show up in those that graduate from the Coast Guard training.

    This is why it is important to have minority voices heard. They can debunk stupid shit like this, and equally as importantly make sure policies don't unintentionally screw them.

    Did I say that minorities needed to be silenced? Did I say that Blacks need not apply to the Coast Guard? In fact I'm saying the opposite. All people need to be heard. No one should be discouraged from applying to the Coast Guard. What should happen though is that we should not prop up a minority out of a fear of "screwing them". If we told the Coast Guard that instead of being 5% Black (or whatever the ratio is right now) they need to match the general public and have 12% Blacks (or whatever) then what we will see are Black people winding up dead. Being at sea is dangerous if you are not a strong swimmer. If we keep out strong Caucasian swimmers to let in weaker Black swimmers then we are not helping out the Blacks, we're putting them at risk of death when it could have been avoided.

    This shit is precisely why affirmative action is not applied to the uniformed services. They already have a rigorous scheme to weed out any kind of discrimination based on anything other than merit. If affirmative action is imposed then people die.

    You're being too thoughtful. You're writing to someone that obviously has benefited from racist programs such as affirmative action that keep them trapped as a dependent voting block and suggest that they are not capable of meeting the same standards. The jobs they are given in the government and especially contractors tend to be menial token jobs to keep quotas where they need to be.

    Meanwhile, the left side of the legislative class enables the real problems that are keeping these same minorities down with multi-generational welfare programs, poor schools, revisionist history that reinforces a perpetual state of victim-hood, and so much more. It's a huge scam and should be outlawed. Term limits now!

    Why AC for your well thought out post? Oh yeah, the moderators are leaning a bit left today. You should have made a stronger conclusion though. Such as: "ALL MSM in the US has become so politically slanted in one direction or another that they are all basically fake news now." Journalism is dead.

  16. Are you white? Then you're a racist. (at least that seems to be the general tone of what I've had to endure these last 8 years). This new version of PC is not PC at all. It is revisionist, anti-white, anti-USA garbage. For some reason the current version of the left wants us to feel guilty for America. The "professors" and "journalists" (terms used loosely for the most part) "teach" the students to judge the actions of our founding fathers and other key figures that don't fit their idea of what's right by today's standards. Slavery is bad, it was always bad - yes. However, it was a prevailing practice when the US was involved in it and we were one of the first nations to abolish it (Lincoln was a republican). The democrats in the South had us fight and win a civil war to get rid of it. I am still amazed that the democratic party has spun things so effectively that they keep the black vote. Amazing what a bit of pandering from the treasury can do. It isn't helping the minorities though. Other countries have this problem too. Use a bit of spin, buy some votes - but never actually help them become independent and strong or they'll stop voting for you.

  17. The problem with a racist president, is that he's constantly giving us examples of horrible racist behavior.

    Trump spread racist lies about Obama's birth certificate, and now you want us to act like the people who supported him, didn't support the abject racism that he ran on.

    I'm sorry that the people who voted for our racist president are being evaluated based on the racism of the candidate they voted for...

    In this age of journalism being dead, we have to multi-source news and compare it to rule out bias or outright lies. Hillary was also part of the birther game in 2008.

    How your examples relate to racism is beyond me. I suspect you are a fool that doesn't have a point and simply screams buzz words at adversaries. Racist, Nazi, White, American, Conservative, etc. Please sue your university to get your tuition back. They failed you completely with their brain-washing regiment. They were supposed to teach you about critical thinking and some other stuff that would help you succeed in the world (maybe some skills, but I doubt your school teaches anything but how to be dependent on the government).

  18. Wow. I'm lost. I see a bunch of nonsensical leaps to using the racist term over and over in your post, but they aren't supported at all. Am I missing a poor attempt at sarcasm or are you really such an incredible fool?

    It was shameless this time. Their echo-chamber effect overwhelmed them. Perhaps that's how divided our nation has become. I remember during the run-up to the election, a huge push of blue state govs doing awful things like suddenly pushing for felons to vote.

    The MSM left crowd pushed for focusing on a magical Russian hacker fairy that masterfully exposed the "misunderstood?" comments in the emails that exposed rampant fraid, bullying, pay-for-play corruption and so much more. Additionally, the magical hackers also had a perfect understanding of our electoral system and hacked just the right districts by just enough to give Trump the electoral edge.

    All this despite Assange (formerly a hero of the left) repeatedly denied Russia was the source and strongly hinted that it was a DNC insider.

    Another recent development is that ALL U.S. news sources seem to be blatantly biased in one direction or another. I can't stand to read CNN, MSNC, CBS, NPR, ABC, NYTimes or FoxNews (most others are much lower than this group). I am not sure at what point real objective journalism died. It is extinct in the USA, now.

    Both sides are awful, we shouldn't get stuck on picking on someone that is trending one political direction or another in this stage of his/her life and start considering ways to actually improve things OUTSIDE of the tried-and-failed/outdated methods of the legislative class.

    Actually since so many are rejecting facts, we need to keep proving the fact as many times as possible until it gets through their thick heads or they give up. If those that reject facts would get out of their feelings and look at the data for what it is, not what they want it to be, we could have stopped researching "is it happening" and we could be on , "how do we fix it." But as usual, science deniers are holding all progress back, because it just does not feel real.

    This is an opportunity for the so called "facts" to be brought to light. If they are indeed facts, there is nothing to be afraid of. There might be some convenient rounding that they might be worried about, but on the whole, I'm sure no one was lying.

  25. If you don't think this is the first step of a purge, you're a complete fucking idiot. Those in charge know exactly what this is because they aren't complete fucking idiots. And when something so obviously unethical (and illegal) is coming down the line, the only ethical thing to do is refuse to comply with all the orders that will facilitate it. Just because each step along the way is legal does not mean you should blindly do it when you know exactly what the end result will be.

    Why the hysteria? The great thing about shifts in power in the U.S. is that the vast majority of things stay basically the same. People do what their told, work keeps getting done and a few key issues shift a bit. Relax.
