If I argued my philosophy papers as poorly as this Philosophy major from Princeton, I would have been kicked out of the program.

Ivy League liberal arts education is a joke. I honestly think you'll find more rigorous programs at state schools...but I guess that's not saying much these days.




There's a reason most Ivy League professors werent educated at Ivy League schools

So, Republicans control the Senate and the House and the Presidency. At the local level it breaks down as follows --




Seriously, how f*cking stupid is this kid?

Exactly. You could literally replace the words "conservative" and "conservatism" with "liberal" and "liberalism" and have the exact same argument. What a dunce this guy is.

I predict that "IF" this guy gets married, he will be sitting on a couch watching his wife getting plowed by real men while she espouses the virtues of modern-day feminism.

I hate to say this, but at some point a lot of these folks are just going to have to be dispensed with.

There is no historical record of successful negotiating with tyrants, particularly of the left. So, if you can't negotiate and you can't separate yourself from them, then you're going to have to resort to a conflict of arms.





Been saying this for years.

It is only going to get worse...the more we left this evil sickness grow and get stronger and bolder.

Here he is correct. Opposing an idea is perfectly fine. That's the basis of a discussion.

When he advocates for shutting people up because he doesn't like the opposing idea, then he's advocating infringement.

This is not surprising at all. Most Regressives aren't mentally capable of handling different political beliefs other than their own. That much is a fact.

It's why you see so many of them act like children on video.

Conservative ideas rejected?

We control the House, Senate, and President.

Does that sound rejected?

So, this supposedly smart person takes the position that if an idea hasn't won the day in any given moment, then that idea that the ideas should even be heard is silly?

Interesting take.

Good thing this moron only wants to start applying the standard NOW rather than say, 1700, or 1800, or 1900 or 1950 or 2000.

Imagine all the ideas the moron cherishes that just wouldn't even have been heard applying this moron's standard.

This is but one more example of the reality that being a smart person does not mean one is a decent person.

This writer is a complete piece of human excrement who happens to be smart.

By smart I merely mean that he had the mental acuity to get accepted to Princeton.

That doesn't prevent him from being such a self absorbed narcissist that he can't consider ideas other than his own though........which, he is.

Oh, and, he's pretty much a totalitarian too. So, frankly, I hope he meets an untimely end. People like him are dangerous.

All we have to do is decide what the correct viewpoints are and then ban all dissenting viewpoints.

A brilliant idea really.

He probably is "smart" from a cognative standpoint.

His problem is he has the emotional mentality of a small child.

That's how these snowflakes are. They are emotionally retarded for lack of a better word.
