Just try to get a straight answere from a LIBERAL

Good luck, you will need it.

from JoeUser Forums
Has anyone noticed that trying to get a straight answer from some of the jouster liberals just cannot be done?

Any question with any substance is totally ignored, like it just was never asked.

Kind of like trying to ignore a real stinky fart at a party, everyone smells it but no body says a word.

These same people will throw numbers at you, bend them to their own means and when called on it, just go on with there post like you never existed.

I thought that when someone asks a simple question, you are owed a simple answer but in liberal land this does not seem to be what you get.

What ever happened to civil discourse? Plain courtesy or an open exchange of ideas?

The most favorite tactic these days employed by the more radical of the liberals seems to be, when questioned, insult the person that asks, question there parentage, or just plain swear at them. The liberals seem to place a high value on education and manners, but I see none of that behavior here.

Whatever happened to proofreading? I mean, I thought we were owed at least proper spelling in the title of the article.

Yeah. That's right. But...I think you're falling into the name-calling, generalization trap...and if you're trying to actually make a point other than "liberals suck," that kind of stuff isn't going to get you very far.

~shrugs~ Just an observation.

Are you saying there isn't a mistake, or are you just poking at the liberal?

Just wondering. Not really looking for an answer.

He did accurately describe the tactics of some of our more dogmatic members, though. All liberals? No. Some of the more vocal ones here? Definitely.

The worst I have noticed lately is the "Bush spending is out of control" crowd who immediately shift to "We have to raise taxes to balance the budget!!" when you make them see that Congress is to blame.

I guess the only thing worse than electing crooks to Congress is denying them their spending money. Either way, Bush is the problem, huh?

always bush, except when something good happens then it's the bi-partisanship of the dems that made it happen. President Bush is not king, he cannot just willy nilly make laws, but some dems seem to think he can. In case the dems forgot, it takes a majority of the senate to make laws.

Then ask me a question.

Pro-choice, anti-tax cuts for the rich, anti-war, anti-deficit....

Basically, stay away from my personal rights, and take care of the budget.

Yeah, he can't make laws willy nilly like, oh say, the Patriot Act. Oh, and also, he cannot declare war on another country without consent of the Congress, but he seems to have found a way around that, nez pas?

P.S. I never said I was a liberal. Conservatives can point out spelling errors, too.

--Reprisal
Archaic. An act taken by a nation, short of war, to gain redress for an action taken against that nation. For example, seizing a ship in retaliation for a seized ship.

--Actually, when bush went to congres about afghanistan and iraq, i think this is what he got...not sure exactly...technically it is legal consent from congress...[BTW,i'm still looking deeper for what exactly bush asked congress for since it wasn't a direct declaration of war...]

Congress passed the Patriot act.

"he cannot declare war on another country without consent of the Congress, but he seems to have found a way around that, nez pas?"


Actually according to the war powers act states that the President can engage an enemy for 60 days before he seeks congressional approval to make war or extend that 60 days.

It's kind of a sad, little argument, considering Clinton sent Tomahawk missiles into soverign nations, without Congressional approval, almost every time one of his blowjob press releases was due. He just didn't have much reason to make "war" once he found the distraction didn't work.

I have seen some of your writings.  Good to see you posting on other blogs.  You may not be liberal, but you are not conservative.

And Bush neither passed the Patriot Act (Congress did, he signed it), nor went to war without Congressional Authorization (as Clinton did).  Congress approved of both.  Now the democrats are saying they were tricked, or that they did not understand what they were voting for.

So who does that make look stupid and ignorant?  Bush?  Hardly.  Democrats?

anti war me too, selective tax taxation is real dangerous, bring the deficit down, I agree, and although I think abortion is bad, I defend your right to choose.
