For wanting assistance from the federal government. In Randian objectivism, charity from the rich and corporations is good, but government is bad.

Also, we finally have an answer to an important question: Is Nate Silver A Witch?

Yes, but he's our witch.

Nate Silver made a great Tweet in response to right-wing pundits insisting that the election was too close to call.

I wonder if they'll still be arguing that the polls are skewed and that his numbers are meaningless in 2016, in spite of his 99% correct record.

Where did all these posts come from! I'm going to just respond to three four. I assume Trollheiming is sleeping now, since I didn't see any MODERATOR ACTIONS posted in the thread (and I read all the posts I had missed, which took... almost an hour, way more time than I should have wasted).

I think Trollheiming is dead. The Chinese government probably found out that he was corresponding on a website with an anarchist bent and had him whacked.

Heh...CNN has an article about Republicans wanting to move to Canada. I think they'd be in for a rude awakening. (Well, okay...it's Canada, so maybe a polite awakening) :P

Okay, that's just stupid.

I heard Democrats threatening to flee to Canada if Romney was elected. I actually considered the idea.

If the Republicans want to flee to any place where their kind still reigns supreme, they'll have to tolerate a pretty dismal standard of living. I almost feel bad for them - what can you do when you're a conservative in the most conservative country in the first world and you want to leave? You go to the second world, of course. Russia must be nice...

Russia has the highest number of Robber-barons Billionaires of any country. They'd probably enjoy it if not for the Russians.

Your right wing simulation mode is either inaccurate or made a spelling error.

I went for the much less offensive of two offensive options.
I'm afraid that I would get warned if I posted the full-strength "n-word".

Pretty sure Toady only cares about "bad words" like nigger if there's actual malice attached.

Yes, but the old playground rhyme is false. They do have the power to hurt if used carelessly or maliciously.

'Course :)

I reference that rhyme as an example of bullshit all the time, heh.

Words are just words, you know.
Words are powerful. Words can do what a man alone cannot. Words have the power to command armies, inspire peoples, save refugees, execute rebels, genocide races, end nations. Words are the power of the many, and spread knowlede of you, your intentions, and other things you wish to convey. Therefore your words must be chosen with care.
