That or an adherence to secular values.

Dare to dream. When people are stupid enough to dismantle their cognitive dissonance insofar as they are able to believe in sky fairies, they will not then decide to use logic to guide their behavior. They will simply have to die. Fortunately, they hate science so they live an unhealthy lifestyle and are prone to early death. Unfortunately for us, we have to pay for their health care until this happens and let them wreck the world as they live.

Thanos is short sighted, and trying to get laid.

Hilariously racist joke slipped into an anti-democrat piece:

Kurt Schlichter
So what do the liberals do when they are losing the all the big fights? They try to score points by taking some conservative scalps, which should thrill Elizabeth Warren. But they only end up biting at conservatives’ ankles.

Me and my son in law grilling in the backyard are 100x more racist than that bud, cmon

Isn't the current rule: "You can't be racist to white people", though?

Technically the government can't be racist (and supposedly sexist), otherwise it's fair game for the most part and that's never really changed since the civil rights act was passed.

But we all know it's "dumb as fuck" to say: "You can't do something" and expect someone (or something, like an institution, like the government, or a fucking church ((who run some of our more shitty institutions, like in the health care industry)) to not do it.

You have to back that up with rocket propelled grenades.

the bud of the joke is "lol -- native americans like scalping people and Liz said she was native on her college app."

So the Democrats were caught stealing -- And I'm not just talking about the black caucus!

Tom Cruise was spreading blood libel rumors -- and Chuck Shumer was like "damnit who told em!"

Generally we don't punchline particularly toxic sterotypes. This isn't comedy club set either, its a newspaper joke.

poking fun at a person's purported heritage and invoking stereotypes does not constitute racism. It may accurately signal it or just as often belie it, but on its own it is just insulting. we need a more diverse vocabulary for expressing outrage over hurtful words.

this is true. racism has an academic definition and a lay meaning. it's hard to discuss meaningfully because the two talk past each other.

[mickmoranis]

speaking of racists the left is the most racist cus they try to manipulate minorities to vote for them by making up lies that anyone who doesn't vote democrat is a bigot.
