Remember when they banned the word "fascist?"

Self-awarenes doesn't seem to be their strength.

According to Hill, Clarence Thomas asked her out socially many times during her two years of employment as his assistant, and after she declined his requests, he used work situations to discuss sexual subjects and push advances. "He spoke about... such matters as women having sex with animals and films showing group sex or rape scenes," she said, adding that on several occasions Thomas graphically described "his own sexual prowess" and the details of his anatomy. Hill also recounted an instance in which Thomas examined a can of Coke on his desk and asked, "Who has put pubic hair on my Coke?"

Right?

That's like asking the fuckin' cops for shrooms.

That definitely makes you a hacker.

It's more about the spirit than the knowledge, but you've got both.

Yeah, traditional European cultures have historically been opposed to oppressing women, hating Jewish people, and executing gay people.

Nevermind that the most common slur for gay people is a reference to burning them alive, Jews were ejected from England in the Renaissance, and women were almost entirely restricted from positions of power.

I've worked shoulder to shoulder with them.

What's your point?

No, my logic is that we have a self-selecting population of highly motivated and ambitious people who want to be Americans.

To turn them away is foolish if you care about the economic and cultural wealth of the nation.

And you still haven't clarified what "traditional values" are opposed to immigrants; even the fucking Romans welcomed people into their citizenry.

Oh, I see.

You don't care about the truth.

It all makes sense now.

So when you said the UK isn't a nation of migrants you knew you were wrong?

Some people actually aren't afraid of history, to the despair of conservatives worldwide.

Also, what a fun admission that Europeans invaded the Americas. I'm sure you'll be logically consistent there.

Someone tell the 1066 Normans they were actually born in England.

Oh, and the Romans.

Oh, and the Saxons.

What "traditional values" are you talking about?

We're a nation of migrants; you don't get to rewrite history because it makes you mad.

The first immigration law passed in this country was a process for naturalization; it doesn't get more traditional than that.
