Re: Disgraceful activity. update!
Dogsdad;<br /><br />Who I vote for is not what defines me. I voted for ralph not because I believe everything he does, but because he was talking about issues that no other candidate was dealing with (well Pat Buchanon was a little bit, but a little too rabid for me, thanks). Peak oil, Globalization of our job market, corruption in party politics, things like that. I would still love to see the dunces running for prez right now answer a couple of questions about peak oil. Because its coming, and it might be coming sooner than we think, and neither candidate or party has any realistic plans to deal with it, except the repubs bold grab for the last deposits of the stuff. I do give them that; they do seem to have a short term plan anyway.<br /><br />In the last race here, I voted for a republican county commissioner and a democratiic sheriff. When I lived in the city I voted for republican coucilmembers several times. That does not make me a republican or a right winger. If you EXTREME partisans want to look at the world as black and white, go right ahead. Maybe they'll go to voting machines soon where you can only pick one major party or the other. I think that would probably make plenty of folks on this board happy enough. <br /><br />While we're here discussing my extreme liberalism, how does my aversion to bigger government, gun control, and all the do-gooder bans on smoking, eating horse meat (CA actually passed that ridiculous piece of dung a few years back), driving without a seatbelt and anything else they can think of that might be harmful or too much fun fit with that? still, you already seem to know much more about who I am than I do, so I guess there's no point in trying to argue with someone so smart as that.<br /><br />The line between "threat" and "warning" is a thin one, and you seemed to be applying your "warning" pretty broadly to "the left" who has been pushing their "agenda" (the nerve! No republicans would ever do THAT!). This is hardly the first time in US history that one party or another has engaged in election year hanky-panky, petty vandalism and the like. I'm sure that both parties are full speed ahead right now with whatever they think will work. You only seem to believe and be offended by what already fits with your worldview. The idea that you represent the center seems pretty off to me, but hey, to each his own, right? this is still america, land of the free etc etc.<br /><br />Snapper:<br /><br />there is no middle allowed here. You have to pick democrat or repub when you come in the door, and then wear your choice on a prominently displayed tag. That way there won't be any of this business of sneaking into the other side of the room to hear what the other party is talking about. We wouldn't want THAT.<br /><br />Pointer:<br /><br />Can you point me to where the left claimed that dogs and hoses were used on blacks in FL in 2000? I never heard that one. Halliburton is a relevant piece of news. they won many millions in no-bid contracts while their pal was in the white house, and were caught overcharging the pentagon for gasoline among other things. Why is it that in times gone past, conservatives like you guys could actually get upset about pentagon boondoggles, but now you all act like it could NEVER happen under W and ****? You really, really believe in the whiteness of their hats, huh?<br /><br />12 footer;<br /><br />Must have ben someone else last time who was all for amending the constitution. Sorry!<br /><br />Your christainity doesn't offend me one bit, until it becomes the state religion or you or anyone else start shoving it down my throat. I'm sure christianity works for a lot of people and I'm sure there are good examples of people living the bright and loving side of that belief system all over the world, just as there are moral and good people practicing islam, hiunduism, buddhism and many others, all having the same degree of success in relating to god as you do. I hope you also will fight for everyone else's right to worship as they see fit, too.<br /><br />When you call it a Christian society though, where does that leave those of us who are not christian? Outside of society i guess, but if this christian society is ready to start shooting over which doofus we're allowed to choose from for president, then I don't mind being outside of it. In fact, I prefer it.
