She converted to Christianity a year before pursuing politics, still gave her son a Hindu or Sikh name after that, attended a Sikh temple through at least 2004 and possibly to this day, her kids have lived in big cities and her son attends a liberal northeastern university in a supposed liberal hellhole city and posts pictures in Biggie and Muhammad Ali shirts, she’s pro interracial marriage (her daughter is in one) but anti calling out Confederate slavery, and she’s white when it suits her and minority when it suits her.
The nicest thing I could genuinely say about her is that she seems to have raised her kids well and taught them decent principles based on their life choices. The second nicest thing I could say about her is that she’s not Donald Trump. But that’s about it.
Like, she’s pretty clearly not conservative deep down within, but she wanted to get into politics and figured that was her best path, so she joined the party in which she knew she’d have to go against her actual beliefs. Is there a word for that? It’s like the moral version of carpet bagging.
lol, guy who hates Harvard also desperately seeks the status it confers:
The school describes itself as an “open-enrollment institution prioritizing access, equity, and transparency.” Eligibility for the school is, according to its website, “largely based on your performance in up to three requisite Extension degree courses, depending on your field, that you must complete with distinction.” High school grades and SAT and ACT scores aren’t required at the institution.
Rufo, in an email, disagreed that there was any difference between Harvard Extension School and any other school. He said he was unaware of any debate over whether HES should be referred to differently than any other graduate degree from Harvard.
You must be new here. It’s not lately, It’s how I’ve always posted. It’s almost a running joke at this point. I am what I am.
However, on this particular point I don’t think it’s trivial. You’re doing a thing that massive racists do. In your case, I’m sure it wasn’t racism and you just didn’t know, which is very different. But now you know, so you’re welcome.
Someone posted a story about how she forced her husband to switch to his middle name. I commented that she did the same thing. Not sure what’s racist about that but you do you, melk.
Since you’re such puristst, do you guys want to point me to the times that people called out Mitt Romney for using his middle name?
Or how about when people were accusing Beto of doing something wrong with going by “Beto”, and he pointed out he went by that name as child. I guess he was wrong for pointing that out.
