One problem is that, as [Scott Adams recently pointed out](http://blog.dilbert.com/post/109880240641/sciences-biggest-fail), what is healthy changes way too often, while the latest fad is always promoted as the only correct alternative, while everything that until now was the only correct way is suddenly stupid and bac... |

Juvenile article. This is /r/politics' bread and butter. |
Its straight off the US Neo-Con train I have noticed getting more ground in the UK for the past couple of years. I have watched a lot of US news over the years and its the same old tactics that the Republicans and the tea party use.
Lots of fear mongering, very few facts, misinformation and an aggressive/ approach to... |
Beautiful solidarity!!
And we support the Novorossiyans' steadfast stance and interest in carving out an independent-minded civilization apart from the NATO dictate and the hireling regime in Kiev - may they reach Odessa by the end of the year!!! This is why Arab-Russian solidarity lasts for so many years and the deca... |
Obstructionism, as in the president saying he'll pretty much veto everything now that the house and senate are controlled by republicans?
Edit: sure, down vote me. I'm just pointing out that it's not only obstruction when congress won't work with the president, but when the president refuses to work with a congress. I... |
Tone policing is no way to go through life son. I would rather we police the tones of speech than allow hateful ideas to spread. |
Former socialist here (so I expect to get a lot of downvotes).
I feel like any system of economic distribution will violate human nature in some way or another, but it seems like capitalism inculcates better incentives at the micro-level for the average citizen than a socialist system. Socialism relies too much in my... |
The reason that religions get a pass on taxes is to keep them the fuck out of politics.
In my mind, they still manage to intertwine themselves far too closely with politics.
So... what we should really be doing is figuring out how to extract maximum political disconnect for their tax exempt status. impossible to do,... |
Had a teacher in high school with the last name Martin so it is a surname. Holy shit, how many downvotes is that for a small comment. Je Suis McDaniels92. |
Holy shit, how many downvotes is that for a small comment. Je Suis McDaniels92. Lol! Bunch of miserable cucumbers in this sub.
You fools! Downvotes only make me stronger!
Je Suis McDaniels92 |
Wasn't he going to Unite the parties too.... LOL at the most divisive President in our history Hard to be a uniter when every other thing out of your mouth is how evil "the other side" is. |
Well this is interestingly funny to have appeared on your sub. My comment is backed by the facts that Japan did offer/send 200,000,000$ to Palestine in relief funds. Before that France along with Ireland supported/support the idea of Palestine becoming an independent state (which for some silly reason 'threatens' cry b... |
Yeah, but the "crux" of the argument isn't even an argument, especially from a Scalia/Thomas point of view:

So, does that mean that the Constitutional question has changed, si... |
So he rejected to give Ukraine any weapons? Thats great news, thanks. Ukraine got a chance to get out of this mess without loosing thousands more dead You know Ukraine could just stop the war and start to negotiate right? Would end bloodshed immediately.
And I mean negotiate directly with the rebel leadership |

Brought to you by liberals To anybody downvoting, please remember that the Republican party was founding in opposition to slavery, and the Democrat party was absolutely pro-slavery for a significant period subsequent to the civil war. The Democratic party is singularly responsible for gun control in this country *fro... |
When are ancaps going to realize that free markets DO NOT EQUAL capitalism? Check out market socialism to see "free market" principles applied to another system. In other words, free markets are not exclusive or necessary for capitalism to exist. In order for capitalism to exist, private ownership of MOP must be in pla... |
Most of the "checks and balances" that make the US unique are pretty bad. Most democracies do not use them and that's why they have better policy outcomes and more freedom. No one has more freedom than the US despite all our present faults. |
I'm not sure I agree with this generalization. Alot of poverty can be accurately described as man-made, but poverty as a whole isn't. Not all poverty is due to capitalist exploitation. No poverty is "due" to Capitalism.
Most poverty is due to socialism. |

“Bruce Rauner’s scheme to strip the rights of state workers and weaken their unions by executive order is a blatantly illegal abuse of power,” AFSCME Council 31 director Roberta Lynch said. “Perhaps as a private equity CEO Rauner was accustomed to ignoring legal and ethical standards, but Illinois is still a democ... |
The reason a lot of people are unhappy with Obama's statements about the crusades is because it seems like he is trying to justify recent acts of terror. Exactly....he's using centuries old conflict to make modern militant islam acceptable.
Fucking loser, Obama. |
>Russia can be safe that they can shoot one nuke without nukes fired back because the US and the EU does not have the balls.
That is exactly their doctrine. A limited strike first, then see if they back off. Everything is in place for a first limited nuke strike from Russia.

Why is this important?
What's your point? OP is a bigot. Nuff said |
I literally quoted a sentence from the article without adding a word.
Then you reply:
> So killing an entire family because you wanted their parking spot is okay?
You owe me an apology. You are both douches, there, happy? |
But it's perfectly acceptable to give Obama countless standing ovations at the State of the Union? Do not taunt Happy Fun Hive Mind. |
Even if she doesn't run in 2016, I'm perfectly happy with her continuing to do exactly what she's been doing.
Also, just because she's good at this stuff, doesn't necessarily mean she'd be good as president. I think she needs to be Treasury Secretary. |
'So-called men’s rights activists...'
Written by a so-called journalist? The anti-male PC bias in this screed is palpable. I'd have expected more from the NYT but, meh. Good topic and all and the writing is above a freshman level; too bad it undermines itself with needless posturing and gender bias. I agree, good/gre... |
No, I think I'd rather not bother. Intellectual degenerate.
It's currently a combination of secret politicization, and secret whatever the fuck they want. |
Teacher friend of mine says his priority is to produce taxpayers, even if they pay $1. If that was the goal of every teacher, I think we might have a better nation. So that they can pay into the welfare system to support liberal arts majors who refuse to work so they can "make art."
Yeah, that's a workable model. |
Thinking for yourself = parroting the extreme left views of the academic establishment. LOL Or the Tumblr hippies who make up words like "microaggression". |
Maybe only 35 permanent jobs, but building a pipeline of that magnitude takes time.

Teachers wouldn't be such easy targets if a) their unions were so eager to protect turf, and refuse some objective accountability regarding effectiveness, and b) the vast majority of public funds allocated to "education" appears to disappear in a black box.

Thanks for the fight-facts-with-downvotes train, guys. Way to argue your point.

I don't think conservatives are really that smug. They have plenty of other faults, sure, but I think OP is right that liberals seem to have this trait on a much higher level than most other people. I've never gotten the sense you described in this comment from listening to conservatives.

This sub is hilarious. Love me some hypocrites. It's one of my favorites. /r/politics get stupid sometimes, sure, but this group gets it's panties so wet just finding examples where Dems can be as bad as Republicans. It's like they've discovered penicillin every time. |

Fuck, Jews need to leave Europe.
Just fyi I am saying this from a Jewish perspective, not an antisemitic one. I am worried for Jews in Europe to get into a country where there are much more likely to be killed in a terror attack? what an antisemitic thing to say. |

Watch closer and keep in mind the lightning pace this was all happening at. The action that makes them shoot is clear.

The suspect had already thrown... |
I don't see how guilty until proven innocent is a fair characterization of this law.
For instance, if I stole your car would it be reasonable because I claimed that you consented to me taking it because you saw me grab your keys, walk out, start it and at no point stopped me. Or would you expect a court to say that I... |

No, because it was the GOP who pushed for the civil rights movement while the dems fought against it.

MRAs do not think this. That is ridiculous.

Well it's not exactly a 'fact' that he was wrong. Saying that a policy is hurting growth isn't 'wrong' just because there is *some* growth. If the growth could have been better without that policy, the original statement is still true.
