If you disagree with the tenets of libertarianism, the least you could do is attempt to write up an intelligent critique. Asserting that all libertarians are racist, sexist, bourgeois, selfish stoners who blindly worship Ron Paul does not make your argument. Have you heard of ad hominem?
I would, but I’m much too lazy. I’ll sum it up really easily:...

My mother is on facebook talking about how they need to have an investigation into Breitbart’s death because he angered a lot of “unsavory” liberals.
She concluded with a particularly insightful, “Why can’t George Soros die of ‘natural causes’?!?!?!”

“America has been around for 2000 years.”

Evidently this was said last night at Belmont University.

Why supporting Ron Paul is backwards
stfuconservatives:
gop-circus:
Ron Paul is racist, or at the very least, allowed racist literature to be published under his name. But to me, this isn’t the worst part about Paul as a candidate - His stances on civil liberties and economic issues when it comes to state’s rights are scary. And his supporters who type in all caps and hail him as christ reborn are even worse because they believe...
Anonymous asked: It's quite sad that you think you've "researched" Ron Paul and his supporters enough. Vote for Barack if you feel that you must. Enjoy the injustice and hypocrisy. Afghani children killed by predator drone strikes he ordered would surely thank you if they could.
Anonymous asked: With all due respect, it's not very smart to make a generalized opinion about all Ron Paul supporters based on a group on a street corner. Any small amount of research will show you that Ron Paul is the favorite candidate of a great deal of women and people of non-european origin. I am not trying to be confrontational here, just keeping things honest. Also your background with the hedgehogs...
Anonymous asked: Ron Paul is easily the most consistent politician in American history. He isn't against blacks or women-- it is an awful representation of his belief in the Constitution and being a Libertarians. It isn't possible to be a Libertarian and be a biased collectivist.

After seeing a large group of Ron Paul supporters on a street corner, and after a few moments of silence.
Boyfriend: You see any black people on that corner?
Me: Nope.
Boyfriend: You see any women?
Me: Mm… nope.
another moment of silence.
Boyfriend: Yup.

I feel awkward sitting a few booths down from my Spanish professor in my school’s cafe as he talks with the other Spanish professors about his students.
I feel like any second he could start talking about me
:/
I keep sinking lower and lower and lower into my seat so hopefully he won’t see me.

Do you remember when we met in Gomorrah? When you were still beardless, and I would oil my hair in the lamp light before seeing you, when we were young, and blushed with youth like bruised fruit. Did we care then what our neighbors did in the dark?
When our first daughter was born on the River Jordan, when our second cracked her pink head from my body like a promise, did...

after 25 hours of travel, a seven hour layover in istanbul, expensive food and learning to say “tea” in turkish, we finally arrived in tel aviv. we stayed at a kibbutz (jewish monastary-type place) and had three hours of sleep (not to mention also being eight hours ahead of our biological clocks)…

Whose Occupy?
January 11th was the 100th anniversary of the Bread & Roses Strike. It was more than a strike that successfully raised wages and improved working conditions for 250,000 textile workers throughout New England, more than a strike involving over 20,000 mostly immigrant workers speaking 45 different languages: it was a strike called by no one, led by no formal...

Wondering if anyone else out in the tumblrverse is volunteering with Projects Abroad or Cross-Cultural Solutions, especially in Morocco in the coming year. If so, let me know :) I’d really like to talk about it.

There are maybe one or two people in occupy nashville who for some reason just really, really don’t like me. I’m honestly not sure why, other than one of them I’ve called him on his bullshit in the past and he really, really, really didn’t like that. He’s had it out for me ever since. He’s also one who frequently uses the term “misandry” to describe...

In 1979, McDonald’s introduced the Happy Meal.
Sometime after that, it was decided that the Bible teaches that human life begins at conception.
Ask any American evangelical, today, what the Bible says about abortion and they will insist that this is what it says. (Many don’t actually believe this, but they know it is the only answer that won’t get them in trouble.) They’ll be a little fuzzy on...

I’m applying for the Lumos Scholarship, which funds any volunteer project around the world so long as it’s over 6 weeks long (and not religious in nature).
