"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." - Emerson

We don't call ourselves pro-life, you do. We are anti-abortion.

Some anti-abortion folks call themselves pro-life. Little relevance though, labeling one another is just a way we frame the argument. Like calling pro-choice people abortionists, or abortionists calling themselves pro-choice. I think pro-birth is the most accurate way to describe the Republican ideological perspective on abortion in a clever word-phrase.

I like to think we should go after root problems and not just the symptoms. I suppose others believe that too and just disagree about what the root problem is or how to deal with it.
Everyday I look around me and think "is anybody else seeing this?". Whenever I'm sitting in traffic I'm just thinking how completely absurd what I am doing is. I've taken to riding the bus when I can, then I can just get lost in music and look out the window. Drawl back is I don't get to leave or get home whenever I want. Also for the most part affluent people don't ride the bus, so they kind of suck. We spend very little resources on public transportation. Instead of improving our citywide mass transportation situation, our leaders who were just elected out last election decided to spend $150-$200m on a street car that rides along a tiny path downtown that the city is mostly paying for but the board for the streetcar has heads of our big business population who have their headquarters here, like Proctor & Gamble, Chiquita, Kroger, American Insurance, and a few other big dogs. The street car stops at all their buildings and goes to shopping areas Downtown, to our new Banks development, our new Casino, and our hotel area that is just a few square blocks. So, it is nice for them. The buses, their routes, and their frequency remain the same, even though $200m would greatly help our Cincinnati Metro, even if it is tuning up the buses, hiring some folks to make the routes more efficient, or just giving the drivers a raise because they deserve it.

I guess it was unrelated rant time.

don't forget the people who are against all those things, and yet still believe Norman Borlaug was a pre-Monsanto harbinger of death.

Up infrastructure and give those jobs to the inner city folk. Not just roads and public transport, but fiberglass and new Extra/Ultra-HV power lines too. That's one thing I liked about the New Deal.

He never said Israel doesn't have a right to their 1967 legally defined borders. Chiding Israel for invading and occupying its surrounding territory is consistent with chiding Russia for invading and occupying its surrounding territory.

Bad meme. Internally inconsistent.

He said Israel has to stick to the Green Line for its borders, which has never been an official border of Israel. The Green Line is simply where the troops were when the shooting stopped.

Flat Earthers.

Are you making an appeal to a majority here?

Lol, Inkanddagger's ThinkProgress.
