gettothestabbing reblogged your post “The Big Book of Minority Conservatives” and added:
How young is young? I’m 20 and a white female Christian Scientist (quite liberal church).
That would be young enough. Really anyone under 25. You also have the non-typical religion and gender covered so you’d be great :)

gettothestabbing replied to your post: I hate to break it to you, but I graduated from the IB diploma programme (that’s the British spelling, not an error) last spring. I’m currently on a gap year for my health and to allow me to work and earn some money, to be more involved in my community, and to allow me to explore which of my main interests I might like to major in (research physics, psychology or elementary ed).
You’re an anon. You could easily lie. Don’t disgrace the IB with your bull or any snobbery - I don’t need any lip from people because of your attitude, as an IB grad myself.
gettothestabbing replied to your post: If you don’t know what the IB is you might want to look it up. It’s common enough that you’ll look ignorant encountering an IB graduate. IB schools are all over the world, including the United States, and I graduated from one of those. The IB originated in Europe, so we often use British spellings instead of the American ones for IB classes, etc.
IB is hard work, but you can’t just say you’re an IB grad to prove you’re smart. I’m an IB grad too, but insulting people who haven’t heard of it (read: almost everyone) is stupid. Don’t disgrace your education, anon. (Besides, you could be lying!)
gettothestabbing replied to your post: Indeed, Kent Hovind has a PhD. My point with the IB graduate remark was that I have received an education not controlled by what the US wants me to learn but one based on principles of global citizenship, which requires knowledge of other culture, and more importantly in this instance, of world history.
(I certainly hope your IB education gave you a bit more than #3)By the way, this actually makes some IB courses even more biased to the left than those taught in public high schools, an unfortunate side effect for a conservative trying to get harder work and early college credit. :/
thetrollshavethetardis: Your face is perfect.
angelrin89: Love you too!
gettothestabbing: Not much for Anime. I remember writing a REALLY terrible Gundam Wing/Stargate crossover with a friend once.
I wrote some Supernatural, some Stargate. Mostly a LOT of Supernatural.
between the ages of 9 and 17 during the Bush presidency and didn’t give a shit about politics until I was 16 or say.
I spent the entirety of my political interest from age 16 to 18 in bashing Republicans and Bush in particular.
Bush isn’t the issue at hand here at all, it’s Obama who is in power and his administration at fault in this case. Deflections of “BUSHDIDIT!” make you look like a fool.
I don’t support Bush because he was not a fiscal conservative.
Thank you and good day.
I would like to concur, except I was younger (between 6 and 14) and grew up in a Republican family.
Are republicans seriously saying that because they didn’t care about politics until they were older that the stuff when they didn’t care doesn’t matter?
This is awesome.

It’s not that it didn’t matter so much as we did not pay attention to it (mostly because we were not involved in politics at that point in our lives) and it is no longer current, rather than no longer relevant. Still, the original post was about Obama. Throwing in a Bush reference seems like deflection. Obama, like Bush and every other president, should be judged on his own merits. Just because Bush did something bad doesn’t mean that Benghazi wasn’t bad or treasonous.
“Really?!? Come on. Also I never let Obama go for it, just that you would have to arrest Bush also. “
You guys are literally saying that history does not matter because you did not care about it or that you don’t believe it is effecting life today. The original post was saying it doesn’t matter how long ago something was, treason is treason. Therefore if you arrest Obama for this, you would have arrest Bush. Saying you should arrest one but not the other shows a bias and that your side should beable to get away with things the other side cannot.
Maybe you are in favour of murders not being charged because the case is 10 years old? Are you?
We’re not saying it doesn’t matter. We’re prioritizing prosecution of the current president over the prosecution of one already out of office and focusing on an ongoing issue rather than one that ended years ago, despite its possible repercussions. (We also have different views on how treasonous Bush’s actions were, but let’s let that issue lie for now.)
Same for the murder scenario: I would want both a current and old murder prosecuted and charged, but I would understand if the police prioritized pursuing the current case first. They’d be able to prosecute the suspect and gather evidence more readily, for one thing.

Congress is welcome to start an investigation into what happened during the Bush administration.
AFTER the Benghazi situation is cleared up.
All I’m saying is that the fact that I don’t make a fuss about things that happened when I was still in Elementary school is really not surprising. I’m more worried about the here and now.
gettothestabbing asked:
Probably easier to say who isn’t, but…hmm, Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, John and Abigail Adams to name a few.
I just answered that one, so that’s easy.
There is a rumor that my great-grandfather rode with Pancho Villa. So there’s that.
Also we have a great great great (etc.) uncle or grandparent who was in the New York militia during the Revolutionary war. Not exactly big names or anything, but interesting.
gettothestabbing asked:
All good things to associate with me!
no surprises here
A.) Not a GOP politician
B.) Where’s the link because I would like to see what his “proof” was. You took a screenshot that doesn’t even show what website this is from. It could be The Onion for all I know.
C.) Yeah, I’m going to believe something a GOP chairman who is in prison for stealing over 100,000 from the party without any proof. Because clearly he’s an honest person who wouldn’t lie about anything.
*eye roll*
A Google search of Alex Seitz-Wald, the author, shows that he is a writer for Salon.com and and an assistant editor at Think Progress. The article of this screenshot is also from Salon.com. Here’s a few choice quotes:
In a 630-page deposition recorded over two days in late May, Greer, who is on trial for corruption charges, unloaded a litany of charges against the “whack-a-do, right-wing crazies” in his party, including the effort to suppress the black vote.
…
The comments, if true (he is facing felony corruption charges and has an interest in scorning his party), would confirm what critics have long suspected.
…
As Vanity Fair noted in a big 2004 story on the Sunshine State’s voting problems, “Florida is a state with a history of disenfranchising blacks.”
…
Former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, who has since become an independent and is rumored to be considering his next run as a Democrat, wrote an Op-Ed in the Washington Post recently slamming Scott’s current purge.
Basically, the article offers no actual proof of voter suppression, only claims by people alienated from the Republican Party and voter ID law opponents. Jim Greer, as the article itself says, has an interest in “scorning his party”, as would Charlie Crist, also a former Republican.
Nice try, dear, but some actual proof in your unlinked screenshot would be better.
Ah, very nice. His “proof” is from a Think Progress writer, yeah, that’s trustworthy. Salon.com and Think Progress are little more than progressive propaganda outlets.
Not a shred of proof available, all opinions from people that have been shunned and excommunicated from the party for very good reasons and all have reason to want to smear the party.
Yeah, that’s trustworthy.
Nathan Fillion is not appreciated enough.
Seriously my favorite.
Oh my god, THIS MAN.
This is the Nerdiest Porn on my Nerd Porn Blog
I’m going to marry this man.
My captain!
