You're probably right because you know a few conservatives and they don't seem that bad.

Did you ever learn how the deficit and the debt work or are you still studying up on it?

This site is really against republicans. So pretty much every political thread is going to be against them or some kind of liberal stab. I like roll my eyes whenever a political or religious thread pops up since its just more of the same.

On the contrary, I think the site is very supportive of Republicans, it's the Republicans that are very against Republicans.

Wait, what?

Many posters may not be, but as a general rule, the interwebz are young and liberal. Nobody is waging a war on Republicans moreso than they are on themselves. Giving primaries to just about every moderate nationwide and falling in behind obstructionists for fear of being called a RINO.

You're referring to arguments that I won previously? Come on now, you have a selective memory.

I don't recall an argument that you've ever won against me.

I do recall you misinterpreting my post, refusing to be corrected, posting a meme pic and trying to run though. Did I not remember that correctly?

You have to admit, my earlier post was pretty well rounded. I gave an example found in this topic, gave a different type of example that speaks to the continuing trend of right-wing ideology and I gave a third type of example pointing out the sheer stupidity of right-wing politicians, all off the top of my head.

Only reason why you'd call me a troll is because you don't like the conclusion, and work backwards from there...which is, ironically, a pretty conservative thing to do.

Nope. But I don't have time for your crap today anyway. I was marveling
over the fact that I actually agreed with some of Jet's points today. It's groundbreaking.

Edit: "My side is smarter than your side, here's an anecdotal example." Sounds like a "well-rounded" argument to me.

Oh oh you don't have time for me. I'm going to interpret that as you admitting that you never change your underwear, is a justin bieber fan and you find your mom sexually attractive.

Man, looks like I just won another argument.

Yeah, that sounds like a typical Ihina argument. Better than usual, actually. Keep up the good work! =)

Painted as new and exciting? Quite a flair for the dramatic... Perhaps it wouldn't be as "overused" if it wasn't so spot on.

In any case, I've got to get up in six hours, so I'm sure I'll miss out on the bulk of this pseudo-cerebral discourse. Night all :)

Speaking of "Why do I never see ..." topics, why is it that you never hear people say "Democrats do it too!" or "Republicans are just as bad as democrats", or some way of projecting false equivalency that brings republicans down to the level of democrats.

Anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of the country favors republicans supposedly, then why is it that false equivalency is almost always portrayed in one direction; usually to damage control something a republican has done or said.

It makes me think that not even conservatives would be republicans if they hadn't talked themselves into believing that democrats are equally just as bad.


And I believe I've said this in another topic, but I'll repeat it here.

Passive aggressive smiley faces stopped being clever 15 years ago. Please stop, it's annoying.

See thread on main page entitled "How not to make an ambassador from the U.S." Obama does something fishy and the left proceeds to say how it's politics as usual and all presidents have done it.

Half the threads in this section could just be posted in the Random P&R thread, probably more. I don't know why we have so many threads open right now, the only real thing happening is the failings in Arizona where republicans are turning against the bill that they themselves passed.

Oh right, the mods just don't care to do anything.

Well pleebo.
A. the far right polluted it's habitat and it died.
B. The far left aborted the poor thing.

Either way its a shame and the fringe element once again destroyed something good. Lesson is be in the middle or poor baby octopus is not here!

The actual reason is there there is one person who constantly spams anti-republican threads, and while I'd personally consider myself closer to a liberal than a conservative, I'd say I find him/her as annoying as everyone else does.

There's no equivalent right-wing person who constantly spams anti-liberal threads, so the result is that the site is flooded with poorly made left-wing threads.

Comes in swinging from the right and retreat back to the middle towards the end before high tailing out of here.

Sounds like someone wants to run for political office.

because they took jesus out of the boy scouts and it made bald eagles cry red, white, and blue tears of coca-cola on the lincoln memorial. if we don't start a meaningless discourse on this the terrorists will win the worldwide connect four championship and china will become the country that likes apple pie the most.


i doubt ffxiah is going to let that happen!

There's actually not that many, and there are several neocons that spam garbage, where have you been?
