The hardline stance on "sweat of your own brow" is so weird to me. Personal hard work should definitely count for something. But unless you grew up in a literal vacuum, lots of someones gave of themselves to get you where you are today.[DOUBLEPOST=1513178024,1513177900][/DOUBLEPOST]
To be honest, I really hate when the internet does this (about anything). As much as I dislike defending Roy Moore on anything, I dislike this crap even more. I see it on Imgur/Reddit all the time. Woe unto thee if you post anything about weightlifting, for example. Apparently the entirety of Reddit lifts, bro, and everyone else does it wrong.
This is what
But once they're born, the hell with 'em.
I agree with you in general, but in this particular example, he did it as a stunt to show voters what a "true American" he is. It is were a random "Roy Moore has videos of him horseback riding on his Facebook page", I think your statement is correct.
Yep. There's a difference. That said, most public politician activities are scripted, so why not the mode of transportation.
In an age where the public has decided that everything is a message, might as well turn every action into a message, because the instant you don't think about what your actions might possibly convey in a 2 second clip or sound byte, you're going to be ripped to shreds for being yourself.[DOUBLEPOST=1513188679,1513188572][/DOUBLEPOST]I don't know what I'm trying to say. I expect being a politician sucks, no matter what side of the aisle you're on. You can't win. You can't break even. Past a certain point you can't quit - people are still vilifying past politicians who hold little real influence today.
I think you need to find a better hill to defend than Moore. His entire message is "if you're not a white, straight, evangelical, you can go fuck yourself."Yep. There's a difference. That said, most public politician activities are scripted, so why not the mode of transportation.

And if you are, go fuck underage girls.
I'm not interested in defending Moore. In the post you're quoting I was making fun of him and bush for essentially the same kind of political stuntsmanship, but then I veered off course and wondered aloud how hard it must be to always be so heavily scrutinized that everything you do might as well be a political play.
That affects everyone on both sides, though, doesn't it?
