I'd just like to give a brief list of what the liberals around here think of you bloody conservatives. 1. All these conservatives are white, male, Christian fanatics who are intent upon shoving their religion down everyone else's throat. They have no respect for other people and can't stand the thought of America actually embracing other cultures and religions, because, after all, our Founding Fathers were all Christian, so why shouldn't we

Venturing off topic with whip- yes I returned.. I wasn't aware that I even had a blog. All I've ever used here is just the forums, so I'm not entirely sure what you mean by blog. The reasons thread that I posted is a couple pages down on the forums- it hasn't been deleted at all- just not replied to for a while. And I did read your post- I'm trying to find the time to respond properly to it. I didn't know I had a personal blog site

Eh, that's two posts in a row I've almost totally agreed with today. I'm doing well. Considering they were both by conservatives...and conservatives and I don't really mix well a lot of the time. A helpful guide. i understand {and readily acknowledge} why you targeted this towards liberals, though I think I might go so far as to reccommend that you change it and jsut target it towards everyone. Liberals are more noticed, I think, when stuf

I think you are confusing the norm with the exception. Religion has always been 'integrated' into society, even at the governmental level. That's why "In God We Trust" is on US currency and why our Congress starts with a prayer. Right or wrong is up to the people to decide, but you can't pretend that this is something ne

Howard Deam has a point only if he applies his statement to the DNC as well. But looking objectively at the "big two" parties, I would categorize the GOP as being MORE diverse than the DNC Want proof? Look at Bush's cabinet choices. More minorities, more women than any presidential cabinet in HISTORY. Y

I differ with your concept of "rights". Marriage isn't a right, any more than a driver's license or citizenship is a right. it's a governmentally defined and licensed state one lives in. If this were just about gay people living as married people, it wouldn't even be an issue. I'm not entirely sure I un

More and more lately I've been noticing just how much religion- namely the Christian religion- is starting to appear in everyday life. However, before I start I'm going to say right out that I'll be generalizing in here and saying "Christians." I do not mean all Christians, I mean that the majority of people who are stepping up and putting their religion out so that the country is forced to

I was getting extremely fed up with the Montgomery post- where everyone is just repeating themselves and no one - no matter what side you're on- is really giving reasons for why they think what they do anymore. People just say "this is how it is," and I have yet to see very many good "facts" from either side, despite what people are saying. So, here's my thread. To start off- I would really appreciate it if everyone could keep t

Reply #58 by little_whip: That does not mean any person can just say "ok, since it isnt listed in the Constitution, and the Constitution doesn't limit "other" rights that may or may not be granted by the STATE, I can just do whatever I please because the Constitution doesn't forbid it? Ah, yes

That is exactly what I want to hear. However, I try to be a bit more realistic, and I know that's not going to happen. Humanity in general is too selfish to allow that to happen. Sucks, though. Cheers, Pads.

In that, the democrat leadership (Note for Pads - See? Disclaimer) has been very good about both perpetuating it, and reveling in their power to prolong racism Merci for disclaimer. Although I'm a little confused- first they're the people who want to help everyone and save the starving African

exactly, and still do, the freedom to worship or not worship as you choose But not the freedom to impose that on other people. Cheers, Pads

I mentioned on another thread that you may be more of a moderate than you think....I still think that Really? Why's that? I'm very much so liberal, but that doesn't mean my views are the views of the majority of liberals. They are liberal opinions through and through, but not all liberal opin

I think the thing that really bugs me is the fact that many rightwingers...or people who aren't leftists....base the entire leftist party off of its most prominent members. Just because they get the most attention doesn't mean they represent the leftist party as a whole. Yet you all seem convinced that every liberal is jsut as idiotic and stupid as the famous ones who make the stupid and idiotic statements. And then you yell at us for making general

I'm terribly sorry that you feel our country is going down the drain because Christians dare to speak and act on their beliefs in public If that is truly what he believes, then he

Sorry, but that’s the way this particular pastry is disintegrating. You folks take the pressure off; stop turning government into a competition, and we’ll drift back, too. But you first! And why do we have to go first? That doesn't work with the whole negotiating peacefully thing you were talking about

Sudan has oil. But do they sell it to us? Cheers, Pads ~The Grim~ Actually, yes, they do Then I won't bring it up anymore.

Nice to hear from the other side of the aisle; thanks for posting. Though I agree that there are many stodgy righties, we do seem, by and large, to be the political standard-bearers of humor and self-effacement. The left simply seems to take itself too literally and seriously. Great to hear from you. An

Shockingly enough, I think I agree with you here. I am a liberal, or a leftist, or whatever you would like to call me, but I do agree that the left has had it coming. We've had our share of fun teasing all the rightwingers, and now they can feel free to tease us back. If some of us are so stuck up that we can't take it, then that "some of us'" problem. Not all leftists do see it that way, however. I'm all for the satire and the shows and the teasi

*sighs* You expect us to automatically see the disclaimer and realize that you're not referring to all leftists, but again yell at us when we generalize. I'm not trying to pick a fight with this- it's completely the wrong topic, but I still don't appreciate it. In the tone you were writing, it appeared to the public that you were referring to all liberals. I'm sorry that I don't know you well enough, or have not read enough of your posts, or

Posted by little_whip: WAR FOR OIL: No matter how much evidence is presented to the contrary, leftists stubbornly insist that the only reason we went to war with Iraq was to "steal their oil." I started a thread once, asking any and all to provide some concrete proof of that, and posting all sorts of statistics that do prove

Yes, the false pretenses would most likely be all the WMD's that were supposed to be there, but in fact were something along the lines of plans for the construction of WMD's or something equally vague. Which ,needless to say, is hardly terrifying. The Original Vune - I agree completely. There are so many places that we need to be at right now- and could be at right now if we hadn't invcaded in the first place- that need our help more.<

As for the civil rights argument, please show me the "straights only" lunch counters. Sorry, I haven't seen them. If homosexual behaviour is kept to the bedroom, as ALL sexual behaviour SHOULD be (straight or gay), then there is no realistic way you can "tell" homosexuals from heterosex

Just state how you see it, what you would do for your country. Not much. I don't think America needs to get even more screwed up than it already is. What you would never do for your country. Invade someplace for no apparent or good reason{s}. If drafted to the armed military would you go? or run away. Probably not. A) I can't really fight and B) I have yet to agree with most of our mos

All quotes are taken from the opening post. While I'm firmly against the idea of banning gay marriage, I am sick and tired of those who make the current puch to gay marriages out to be some sort of civil rights crusade. Put simply, it isn't. Yes,
