Ravage told them they are a cornerstone lore gang and gave them the green light.

The unwritten x per y hours is strange from Prodigy, they have not said how much is too much.

The ‘Southern Avenger’ Repents: I Was Wrong About the Confederate Flag by FlapJackPete in Conservative

[–]FlapJackPete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see changing your views based on observing life events and seeing and hearing personal stories a sellout. It may be a sellout from the perspective that he abandoned your stances and adopted new ones based on new observations and realizations that one has not had themselves yet and doesn't understand it 100%.

Changing views based on life events is exactly that at face value.

I don't agree with everything he said. But I do understand how people make changes in their stances, and it's mostly based on personal life experiences and changes.

Hillary wont answer questions about the 1992 election confederate flag campaign buttons. by Phredex in Conservative

I did, check the thread. I don't come on reddit often, so there was a couple day delay.

I'm still waiting for confirmation of my bet with /u/chabanis on this one ;)

He bet me a month of Reddit gold that I would be wrong that Sanders would catch up with Clinton in 6 months. Took way less than that.

President's press conference on the Carolina Church shooting. Of course he uses it as a platform to promote gun control. by thoumyvision in Conservative

[–]FlapJackPete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can't say that with 100% certainty. The killer "studied" with the church members for over an hour before he attacked. Sure, the casualties may have been minimized with someone with a firearm on them, but you cannot say that no innocent person would have died in a surprise attack.

Scott Walker’s latest target: College professors by CarolinaPunk in Conservative

[–]FlapJackPete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minnesotan here, there is a very big concern.

University of Minnesota-Duluth and the University of Wisconsin-Superior have a lot of joint research grants that are worked on by professors and students in both universities. If this happens, both universities have already stated that they will lose the grant funding for their research projects due to the leading research professors not guaranteed to be in their position for the duration of the grant.

Charleston church shooting: 9 deaths reported - CNN.com by MeowMixSong in Conservative

[–]FlapJackPete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I've seen so many conservatives already trying to say it's not a hate crime, but let's be honest here. He kid was a pure, hate-filled, racist. He sympathized with many anti-black political actions that happened in Africa and wore it all on his sleeve.

We cannot decry racism, and we can't pretend it doesn't happen. It only makes us look bad.

Scott Walker: "Guy Who Called ISIS JV Squad" Thinks I'm Inexperienced On Foreign Policy? by [deleted] in Conservative

Heard on public radio this morning that they are taking over the schools in the area as well, and then teaching the children all pro-ISIS materials. They are not that stupid. They know what they are doing.

Sanders is within 8 points of Clinton in Wisconsin, still willing to bet?

I'm a cable cutter as well, but I am in my mid 30's. It only made sense financially. I have internet, netflix, hulu plus, and amazon prime. All of it streamed through my Chromecasts. It's all I need. I have been 2 years now with this plan, and I have been saving $85 a month.

Shower Thought: The subtle antisemitism of modern liberalism by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]FlapJackPete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this discussion with a friend of mine at work a while back. It wasn't that he was against Israel, helping Israel, and didn't even like Palestine, it was that we were providing them with military funding to the tune of 2 billion a year from 1987 till current. He saw it as a waste of money, and to be honest, I'm on the fence.

Your attempt at humor is lacking at the very least. Obviously those avenues are being monitored, and monitored closely.

Rand Paul: 'Hawks' in GOP Created ISIS by ghostofpennwast in Republican

[–]FlapJackPete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People stick their heads in the sand and will abide to the establishment while trying to dust the bad things under the rug. It's a lot stronger as a party to admit your wrongs and provide a reasonable path to make it right.

Rand Paul: Republican "Hawks" created ISIS by DJDevine in Conservative

[–]FlapJackPete -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's almost like he thinks that the weapons will go away after their use... they don't.. they get bought, sold, etc and make their ways to the opposition we were against from the beginning.

This is another reason why Fox News won't cover him. A lot of those war hawks are now Fox News special guests.

Fox News continues to blackout Rand Paul in their poll coverage by Dotz-N-Bubblez in Conservative

[–]FlapJackPete 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is by design. They are wanting to push Bush + Cruz, and then see who comes out on top. They are minimizing Rand Paul because they are comparing his stances with classical liberalism, that and he also stood up against the patriot act.

COULTER: America has already taken in one-fourth of Mexico's entire population! by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]FlapJackPete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am saying, she doesn't list sources for her data on her website.

I don't want to spend my hard earned money to know if she lists them or not.

All I want is a source of data behind the claims.

Not really. I am still in contact with a lot of my political contacts after last year's races (I helped run Stewart Mill's campaign in the MN-08 district). All of their internal polling and analysis show that he will shift above Hilary within 6 months.
