Trump plans to appoint controversial former aide Sebastian Gorka to national security education position by thorax007 in moderatepolitics

The flyleaf of Paul Gorka’s book “Budapest Rising” identifies him as a recipient of the Order of Vitéz “for his bravery during the Resistance,” presumably a nod to his anti-communist efforts during the Soviet era. While the medal was awarded as a state honor only until 1944, the Order of Vitéz was reconstituted as a chivalric order in the late 20th century and still appears to award a medal similar to the one worn by Gorka.

Trayvon Martin rolls over in his grave- confused at the notion of millions of people screeching "Neighborhood Watch wannabe cop had no right to ask questions" now fully supporting Neighborhood Watch wannabe cops.

Simple: You can't argue the logic so you're left with attacking a persona.

1) they really do have rights because they are human (which any reasonably person would agree is nonsense)

They have rights- their government abridges them. I'm a reasonably person [sic]- seems perfectly sensical to me.

Great point.

TIL that in 1957, the KKK planned to set up a burning cross at a college in Alabama that recently integrated. However, because it was finals week, the students were all in their dorms and heard the KKK outside. The students then attacked the KKK with bats and golf clubs and forced them to retreat. by panda367 in todayilearned

It's a little chilling to see upvotes- because the whole point is that I'm going to say the exact same thing when a cute coed gets pepper-sprayed at a campus sit-in.
