UGHH, I hate these kids. I always get 1 or 2 in every history or politics class, and they just think they can shout their opinions and expect an A in their class, and when they don’t get it, they blame the professor for being liberal. Such shit. And it’s like, they don’t realize that everyone just wants them to shut up, but they think that they’re doing society a favor by dominating and destroying any chance at intelligent, political dialogue in the class and simply regurgitating what they heard Rush Limbagh or Glenn Beck say the night before. It’s not even because of their political beliefs, because I know people who are conservative, but are reasonable people who will debate a point without being a complete douche-biscuit. It’s because they feel entitled, and think everyone should bend over and kiss their asses for being white, middle class, and cis male. They literally feel like they are being endangered by anyone who isn’t exactly like them or who doesn’t live the way they do, and don’t have the capability of using empathy or logic to see things from any view point other than their own. BAH.

^That exactly. The one or two conservatives at my school always scream “you’re ganging up on me and being intolerant! FREE SPEECH! FREE SPEECH!” 
Uggh it’s like “STFU!”

5. Romney’s insufficiently nuanced assumptions about human relationships cause him to cluelessly stumble into uncomfortable situations:

“Daughter?” he asked a woman sitting with a man and two younger girls at the diner in Tilton, N.H., on Friday morning. Her face turned a shade of red. “Wife.”

Oh, Mr. Romney said. “It was a compliment, I guess,” said the woman, Janelle Batchelder, 31. “At the same time, it was possibly an insult.”

4. Romney likes to congratulate people, but “[f]or what, exactly, is not always clear,” as if this is just something he has noticed humans saying to one another. 

3.  Romney’s forced, robotic laughter is transcribed multiple times as “Ha-ha.”

2. When Romney can’t compute an acceptable response to a comment directed at him, he will quickly shut down the conversation, like a web browser that crashes when loading a complicated program:

In Bedford, N.H., a woman walked up to him after a speech and declared: “I have a lot [of] friends who say you are the robotic type. And I am like, no, you need to stay that way because you are a leader.”

Mr. Romney’s mouth arched into a somewhat pained smile as he rushed to conclude the conversation. “Nice to see you guys,” he said as he walked away.

1. Romney has trouble with the uniquely human trait known as “humor,” sometimes falsely detecting it when it does not exist:

[A] voter named David Rivers asked Mr. Romney whether there would be place for Mr. Paul, a Texas congressman, in a Romney White House. Mr. Romney treated the question as a joke, letting out a laugh and walking on by.

“I was actually kind of serious,” Mr. Rivers said in an interview afterward.

Fehrnstrom to a reporter who questioned Romney’s truthfulness:  “You should act a little bit more professionally instead of being argumentative with the candidate, all right? It’s out of line. You’re out of line.” Johnson tries to protest, but Fehrnstrom…talks over him, accusing the reporter of journalistic malpractice four times before reiterating his initial warning. “Save your opinions — save your opinions — save your opinions — save your opinions and act professionally. Act professionally. Don’t be argumentative with the candidate.”

2011 marked a banner year in the Republican war on woman’s health. Close to 1,000 anti-abortion bills sped through state legislatures as the GOP-led House led a “comprehensive and radical assault” on a federal level. But in surveying their arsenal this year, 10 bills stood out as…
