I understand that some people don't like confrontation. But to be so devoted to non-confrontation that you prefer humiliation at the hands of scoundrels is beyond me.

In a way I miss the days when Republican fuckwits would come here and try to defend the horrible shit elected Republicans were up to. It would be especially interesting to hear them argue that attacking the congress and killing cops is OK because ...Maxine Waters...used the word 'fight' once ...(?)
