Instead, you've launched into the usual uberliberal kneejerk garbage you've posted here.

Yeah, that "uberliberal kneejerk garbage," like epigenetics, lead from gasoline, lead from pipes, and effects of pollution.

Damned uberliberal scientists.

Like I said. A diversion. You changed the topic because you really couldn't argue the author's points.

Why don't you go take a nice swim. Wellfleet is lovely this time of year.

Nice diversion. Besides the fact that, as a committed Masshole, you like to sling the racist label onto anyone who wants to have an honest conversation about the black community, I think the author has a lot more understanding of what is happening within his community than you do.

This is a hilarious argument coming from you, given that you refuse to give Larry the same credit you want me to give Greg!

More diversion. Very Trumpian tactic you're employing, Josh.

You have yet to address the core of Raleigh's text.

Instead, you decide to attack me for posting it.

Sad, but true. You've become what you claim to loathe.

A person who thinks man and dinosaurs co-existed, because the latter were on Noah's Ark has been chosen to review the evolution standards for Arizona.

Hey, he probably knows more about what's going on in Arizona than I do.

Says the master of diversion.

You claimed uberliberal.

I disproved it.

You went back to your other bogus argument.

Why bogus?

Because I agreed with much of what he said, but disagreed with his conclusion. You figure since I disagreed with his conclusion, I must somehow have not address his points.

Utley, you can wear your underwear on your head or not. That's up to you.

But it sounds more like you should just chew on it.

It won't change that his conclusion that the only way to fix their problems is on their own.

Or that he's wrong.

And again.

You ignore the fact that your argument contradicts your own actions.

I had you on ignore for a reason. Maybe I will go back to it, because you are so full of your own shit that you sound like Kiid and Redd.

And you can accuse me of being Trumpian, but fortunately, I have only to consider the source, bigot.

His words were true enough.

There's no wisdom in having open borders...absolutely none.
You get taken advantage of.

Guest worker programs...all workers undergoing health checks, background checks etc...good idea.

Tony

I will indeed pray for you, sir.

But two things about your passage:

Selfishness causes depression?  Really?

And as for the immigrants "afraid to go to the police" - too much made of this.  Someone does you wrong - you say so.

While Arizona wants a man who believes dinosaurs rode with Noah to evaluate the evolution standards, in Tennessee, GOP State Senator Mark Green opposes medicaid expansion because it prevents people from finding God.

Probably not if you're in the country illegally.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/15/politics/kfile-sinema-flyers/index.html

 Reflecting on the rally a year later, in an interview with local media KTAR, Sinema said the war was about American access to oil.
"So this is not about the United States doing the right and moral thing by a toppling an evil dictator," she said. "This is more about the United States having access to the oil and the power and control and world stature that it's seeking. It's not about the individuals in Iraq."   

heh

yeah - the prevailing "wisdom" of the time.

Even more ridiculous now

It’s only ridiculous because your k-pop band of wanna be tyrants and empire builders failed epically. The goal was to have the war pay for itself through Iraqi petroleum concessions. When it turned out Rummy and Brenner didn’t have the juice or organizational acumen to pull it off, the corrupt party of crime and incompetence did what it always does when it fails. It moves the goal posts.

This is why you and Mrs. Kid disagree so sharply about how many years it’s been since you’ve had sex.

There you go again.

You get exposed for your diversionary methods and once exposed move to the default setting; the other poster is a racist or bigot.

It's a shame you're so thin-skinned that you can't actually respond to what Raleigh wrote.

I guess his expertise as a former gang member and now as one who works directly within the community is too much reality for your community college lead paint theory to stand up to.

Better brew yourself another cup of tea and put on your warm jammies, Trumpian one.

Then return to your confirmation bias zone where you and your fellow Massholee can comfort each other by echoing what you each just read in the Globe.
