Ah yes, the ole "graphics and hypertext links" excuse--good call!! Oh by the way, why the mother fuck am I reading an article about UCLA put out by the "John Locke Foundation:"
> The John Locke Foundation is an independent, nonprofit think tank working for truth, freedom, and the future of North Carolina.
This just reeks of Oath Keeper horseshit. Or even horsehit (sic) if you prefer.

Sorry, I read the article and you're still full of horsehit. There were no pertinent quotes and what the fuck this has to do with "the future of North Carolina" is still a glaring question. Everything about your post and this article stinks to high heaven.

And boom goes the dynamite. Even before googling I knew innately the "Free Beacon" was right wing horsehit:
The Washington Free Beacon
The Washington Free Beacon is an American conservative political journalism website launched in 2012. Wikipedia
Founders: Matthew Continetti, Michael Goldfarb, Aaron Harrison
Editor-in-chief: Eliana Johnson
Headquarters: Washington, D.C.
Managing editor: Sonny Bunch, Victorino Matus, Stephanie Wang
Political alignment: Conservative
Near as I can tell the "Free Beacon" was looking for something to piss and moan about, as evidenced by the word "conservative." But, to repeat,what the motherfuck this has to do with the "John Locke Foundation" is anybody's guess. Rather than "the future of N. Carolina" it's more like "we'll pitch a bitch about anything we've heard from other "conservatives" pitch a bitch about." This stuff starts out as fucking garbage and gets worse from there. The "conservative" technique: find some horseshit (correct spelling) to whine about and flood any and all forms of media with it. There is no other motivation, or semblance of sanity here. Now be a good boy and fuck all the way off. You're busted on multiple counts of horseshit.
