I know, but as you know sometimes a cheap shot is worth taking.

I've never seen it until Donald came along, and it's all over there. Don't go on those subreddits though

It is incessant whining and self-entitlement. The only difference between Kasich and 50 other republicans who could poll well against Hillary despite nobody ever hearing their name before is that Kasich won Ohio! Big ****ing deal. Also, Kasich is just another republican idiot. His main purpose is so that people like you can get all your racist policies without the overt racist overtones and can claim it is about "small government/corporate welfare, not racism".

It's more explicitly racist than MRA. It's used quite literally, at the core the cuck insult is about #WhiteGenocide because by allowing immigration you allow miscegenation which allows interbreeding which produces non-white children.

I went to Tulane undergrad and that description is the most bizarre thing I've ever read and not reflective of my experience at all.

I always assume Tulane is a great school because it was a location in 1993 PC adventure game Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father.

Sorry, today I'm going for volume over accuracy.

Heh, that explains why he's always firing shots at the law school fly went to. That guy is a walking ball of projected insecurity.

Regarding Breitbart's experience at Tulane:

"After high school, Breitbart attended Tulane, where he joined the Delta Tau Delta fraternity and drank and gambled away his parents’ money. In the Big Easy, Breitbart concentrated on partying and avoided what he now disparages as Marxist academia. He now believes that his boorish immaturity was a blessing in that it prevented him from being co-opted by what he calls the “cultural fascisti.”

Breitbart complains that he was exposed to a raft of deeply anti-American ideas. As an American Studies major, he writes, he was subjected to the evil thoughts of émigré Critical Theorists like Theodor Adorno and Herbert Marcuse, who he blames for destroying everything good in postwar America. It is impossible to overstate Breitbart’s hatred for these “boring and bleating philosophers” who escaped the Nazis and “exploit[ed]” America’s openness and liberty by deploying “ideological Anthrax.”

At one point, Breitbart fantasizes about choking the life out of these mid-century refugee philosophers. “If I could go back in a time machine, I would go back to strangle these malcontents,” he writes.

Not read them. Strangle them.

Or at least that’s what it says in a review copy of Breitbart's book provided to Media Matters. Someone apparently sanitized this line at the last moment, because in the final, published version, it now reads, “If I could go back in a time machine, I would go back to kick these malcontents in their shins.”

Strangulation aside, not everyone remembers Tulane as the Marxist nightmare that Breitbart describes. “The required courses in American Studies included two semesters each of American Literature and History,” says a former director of Tulane’s American Studies Department who taught and remembers Breitbart. “We used the Norton Anthology—very middle-of-the-road, canonical stuff.” Among the “cultural Marxists” the young Breitbart was supposed to study but didn’t were the Puritans, Franklin, Edwards, Emerson, Thoreau, Twain, Hawthorne, Melville, and Stowe. According to this professor, not even the more advanced interdisciplinary seminars at Tulane offered much critical theory.

So perhaps it isn’t surprising that Breitbart would not have graduated at all but for his pleading with a professor for mercy. “I need to graduate,” he remembers begging. “I have family and friends coming in from out of town tomorrow. We have reservations at Commander's Palace.”

Kasich’s hostility to women runs so deep he even took a swipe at rape victims, signing a law that would defund any rape crisis center if they are caught telling pregnant rape victims about their legal right to abort a rape-caused pregnancy.
Quote:
As governor of Ohio, Kasich made this racial subtext undeniable in 2014 and 2015, by targeting minority populations for food stamp cuts while letting white people keep getting their food stamps. As Mother Jones explains, the entire state of Ohio was eligible for an emergency extension on food stamp eligibility due to economic distress, but Kasich decided to grant it only to 16 counties in 2014 and 17 in 2015.

“Most of these were rural counties with small and predominantly white populations,” Hannah Levintova of Mother Jones writes. “Urban counties and cities, most of which had high minority populations, did not get waivers.”
Kasich 2016.

What do you like about Kasich specifically Lou?

Well, he's not transparently delusional like his competitors. Just delusional.

Just backing up what we already knew, that Trump voters want to Make America Great Again with safe spaces on campus where nobody says mean things to them about how ****ty and dumb they must be for supporting him.
Trying to say libs aren't the queens of safe spaces is so lol.

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/03/22...?referer=&_r=0

Greatest safe space ever described in the article. The libs needed an area to recuperate from troubling or triggering comments. The room contained coloring books, play-doh, cookies, bubbles(wtf?), pillows blankets and a video of frolicking puppies and stuff equipped to deal with trauma. ???? Is this real life??

If I didn't look at the website I would have assumed it was from the onion.

You see the difference fly? The republicans were scared for their physical safety, the libs are terrified of what their eyes and ears could see and hear.
04-05-2016 , 11:36 AM
Why would you pursue an American Studies degree if you can't stand cultural Marxists like Melville and Thoreau? Doesn't Tulane have a computer science department for these guys who get triggered by classic literature?
04-05-2016 , 11:39 AM
Oh man I've never seen that Brietbart thing before. Pretty unsurprising he was involved in the worst fraternity on campus. I didn't even rush, but man those guys were some maladjusted weirdos.

95% of liberal look at this and think, "idiots." You look at it and think "liburls!"

Have Hillary and Bernie been calling for more safe spaces in their campaigns? They've mainly been campaigning on economic fairness, (keeping) universal healthcare, personal liberties (abortion, voting rights), confirming a supreme court nominee, steady foreign policy, and resisting the republican impulse toward forming a anti-tax theocracy. I don't recall either discussing the need for trigger warnings.

California poll:

Trump 40
Cruz 32
Kasich 17

Kasich very narrowly wins the Bay, Cruz wins Inland, Trump sweeps Central and "Greater" which I assume is the LA area. Based on this I think Trump has about 120 delegates in the state right now.

If Cruz wins WI 33/9, Trump wins NY in the mid-80's and then takes the rest of the Northeast by 538's projected margins + 120 out of Cali, I have him finishing at 1241 delegates.

How big of a pussy do you have to be to fear for your safety? How many Trump supporters have been physically attacked?
