@AndrewLSeidel And they are most certainly coming for gay marriage. They want every single lgbtq person back in the closet with the door locked. After that it will be interracial marriage.

@PokerPolitics Imagine seeing a woman's mons pubis and thinking it's a penis. Who wants to bet he's never seen a woman naked in his life? Also, if you look at women in bikinis and all you see are men....... you might be gay.

@ProleBrain @GazeWithin The Labor Theory of Value *must* true because Marx's entire philosophy depends on it. So it must be defended at all cost. It's a religion.

Word salad is when the individual words, maybe even sentence fragments, have meaning but together there is no coherent thought behind them. The speaker doesn't have a clear understanding but has simply cobbled bits and pieces together to give the semblance of a whole. #flatearth

@owain_wn14 @PhilipWegmann @PressSec Socialism is necessarily authoritarian and Marxists conceive of socialism as the means to achieving their communist utopia. Unfortunately the promised utopia never arrives, (they never do) so we're just left with the Marxist totalitarian dictatorship.
