Republicans are destroying their own party.

Um. No I didn't, what the ****?

You were the one who brought 'defeat' into it, I said defend. Please learn to read.

Like it or not, the Klan has a right to say what they want to say, just as all other groups of people (including corporations) have a right to organize and act politically. If that boggles you're pathetic Limey mind, it's because Aaron Sorkin was right. America is advanced citizenship.

Another ****ing idiot who can't read. Is there some contagious form of mental illness going around recently?

What you don't understand is that the fact that the ACLU standing up for unpopular groups is what makes them good. It's easy to support the free speech rights of people we agree with, but supporting them for people we hate is hard.

The fact that we allow groups like the Klan to organize just shows how much more tolerant we are than Europeans. Truly, we are a bastion of progressiveness in a world of bigots and statists.

Your posts rarely merit the attention required to never make slight mistakes on reading them.

You mean like I already made completely clear with my comment about how sometimes the bad guys have right on their side? Like literally a couple of posts before you leapt in?

Hush now, this isn't about guns or being mean to poor people, it's really not a conversation you'd have any interest in.

Please actually read posts before you leap in with your poor attempts at smugness. I wasn't questioning the ACLU's defense of the Klan, I was pointing out the silliness of using the name of an organization as some kind of symbol of truth, or in that case evil. Sometimes the good guys are wrong, and sometimes the bad guys have right on their side.

What exactly was evil about the ACLU?

[Felch]

I'll tell you all what's evil. The Public Order Act 1986. Section 5 effectively destroys the right to free speech, while Section 14 allows the police to put a limit on how many people may attend a peaceful political assembly.

Kentonio's country doesn't just lack a written Constitution. It doesn't have freedom of speech or freedom of assembly. Britain is openly hostile to the values that America holds most dear.

Britain does oppose gluttony with their awful cuisine and teeth which make eating copious amounts of food more difficult.

[Dinner]

British food is good.

[Aeson]

A poster named "dinner" willing to eat even British food ... kinda proves my point.

[Sava]

teeth which make eating copious amounts of food more difficult.

most fast food in america doesnt even require chewing
ever had a burger from mcdonalds?

I haven't yet had one without my teeth, so I cannot confirm or deny your assertion. In any case it's largely irrellevent to the issue at hand, which is that eating British food with British teeth makes becoming obese more difficult and thus is UNAMERICAN.

[Sava]

agree

british food is gross

[Sava]

heh
