Yeah. And not just Trump. Legolas Send a noteboard - 26/09/2017 11:59:05 PM

The conservative media or conservative universities aren't necessarily any more open to dissenting viewpoints than the liberal ones - the difference is merely that the liberal and centre-right ones have more power and influence. Nationally at least, I would imagine on the local level that's often not the case.


View original postYou mean like when the President enforces PC orthodoxy by suggesting that national anthem kneelers be fired by their football teams?

Yup. Seems to me that people who make a point of being anti-PC should maybe remember more that there are also aspects of political correctness which they would not actually like to see challenged.
View original postI think he's on the winning side of this issue, but he's lost credibility with me as any kind of supporter of the principle of free speech.

Which issue specifically - the standing up for the anthem?

What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 343 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 705 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 643 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 644 Views

It was a brilliant speech all around, and you don't understand Trump based on those comments. Tom - 21/09/2017 08:32:29 PM 638 Views
He's doing jack shit. He tells people everything they want to hear, then blames Congress... Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:57:36 PM 686 Views
