    Everyone has goals, and it’s not any type of brag. I just want to retire early and have hobbies (and becoming less tolerant of heat). That used to be a thing, having financial goals. I have a feeling it still is, but internet righteousness is the new cool. Fuck Abbott y’all!  I’d rather have less security than have that shitbag in office. Wheelchair pun. 

    Elections have consequences

    I think you are misreading what I wrote. Wrapping your head around spending 25k on a watch is different from not being able to do it.  I’m upset because it’s going to take a few more years to have a place on coast and in ski country.  

    Shallowist humble brag ever

    Obama was a welcome palate cleanser after 8 years of George W Bush, but in retrospect he was terrible at understanding how to get, keep, and use power.

    The power should be reflective of the people via their representatives. However, the GOP had/has a clear strategy to work towards power consolidation rather than work on behalf of the people they represent. It hasn't been a good actor in furtherment of our country.

    Free exercise from a Constitutional, state actor point of view. The public high school kids are good if they want to do that. Now if you’re talking NFL, the players collective bargaining agreement with the league and player contracts might have a say in player conduct during the anthem.

    Just so we are rounding out the box of acceptance here. We are good with a black HS coach having a prayer involving black players with a fist raised in the air?

    I wanted Robert Saleh, a Muslim, as coach of the Texans. Instead they hired an unqualified clown. He can bust out his prayer rug pray to Allah on the 50 yard line for all I care.

    But what if they want to pray during the national anthem by kneeling?

    Post-liberal. Read Compact Magazine. 
    https://compactmag.com. You’ll find articles by the leading intellectuals of the new right - Prof. Vermuele, Sohrab Ahmari, Michael Deneen and Gladden Pappin. Sens. Hawley, Rubio and Cotton espouse some of the ideas - not nearly enough for my taste. Hungary is probably the best example of it being put in practice.

    I appreciate the honesty here, but Hungary huh? Fan of Orban?

    Basically Christofascism.  That all of America's problems will be solved if we just make everyone more Christian and white-like.

    Oh I'm aware, I just want to see what they think it is.

    Wrong - claiming that there isn’t a legitimate concern by parents of what is being taught at a grade school level doesn’t let the technical, academic definition of CRT used at the university level - satisfying @Pancho’s criteria is an attempt to skirt the issue. Lumping all white people as being oppressors or the the founding and independence of this country was founded on slavery and teaching that in grade school is the problem-call that whatever you wish.

    You STILL don't know what CRT is. 

     

    Also since you brought it up before but didn't address my question, what is it you consider the "new right"? You said you embody it. What is it? What are the principles that guide it?

    Yep. Lots of 'overreaction' actually turned out to be under reaction. Normalcy bias is a fucking bitch. 

    And this is just the beginning ..... So that's fun

    What a fucking clown.  He might be overcompensating for being actually being a trash human.

    Matthew 6:5-6 

    “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

    Our HS men's coaches were big on prayer.  They were also raging assholes with little to no redeeming qualities, unless you think grown married men fucking HS girls is a redeeming quality, because that happened multiple times.  To be fair, our women's basketball coach did too.  She wasn't an asshole, but she was really butch.

    Back when America was great

  12. Satanist temple about to get a major influx of supporters with the "prayer" being a middle finger and a fuck you to the Christian-fascists.

    What if we aren’t disingenuous about what we want? I can be like the @David Dennison of the new right.

    Can you describe the "new right"? I'm genuinely curious what it's ethos is. The principles and ideas that guide it.
