The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Love the tired old arguments. Like I said above, some things never change around here.

Neither do the liberals who drink the liberal kool-aid. They just go along thinking "Republicans are bad, evil, trying to destroy the country, insight riots and lynchings".


JW, Wendy, Sca, aren't you guys tired of going round and round and round poking at each other yet? You're never going to see eye to eye. This thread is now little more than JW poking at Sca who is poking at Wendy who is poking at Leo who is poking at JW. And frankly, it's tiresome of this same damn beating taking over every single conversation.

If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

BTD,

I am not a liberal. One does not need to be one, nor does one need to "drink the liberal kool-aid" to recognize hypocrisy and point it out.

I have a healthy distrust of both political parties. It's just that the last (almost) nine years have taught me to distrust the Republicans a hell of a lot more than the Democrats.

The point I am trying to make still stands. The three of you just go round and round and round. It has to be tiresome to keep poking at each other. It is tiresome that nearly every page of this thread has derailed into it.

Simple solution: Stop making them. Don't lie about what people say, then pretend to be outraged by what wasn't said.

I'll take your word for that right now.

Tod,

With all due respect, unless you have read all 104 pages in this thread, you really don't know what is actually going on.

Are you talking to JW and WB? Nothing like jumping in, having no idea what's going on, and hopping on a self righteous pedestal.

Anyway, you know BTD, you're mostly right. I'm done in here. It is ridiculous, tiresome, old, and has really caused this board to head in the direction of others that I stopped posting at long ago.

Excellent point. I took "the old tired argments" to mean the old tired right-wing arguments.

Please excuse my ignorance of the 100+ pages that preceded this one.

You really have no idea what you're talking about. Your assumption as to what I am referring to is completely wrong. The fact that you are hardly around is enough for me to say you shouldn't form opinions about things you don't understand.

I used to think LoT was awesome because we could have political discussions without people trolling or name calling. But it seems that it was all an illusion.

I'm taking my own advice. When an actual political discussion can be had without the same people beating the same dead horse I'll come back and play.

Please quote where I have called anyone names in this discussion.

Some of us are simply tired of our right leaning friends here defending the Republican party at all costs - especially with what is going on right now. It seems to me that most Republicans (include most of my family) seem incapable of criticizing their party and fellow Republicans, or even recognizing that there is something to criticize. This attitude of "party first, before country" is something I am just unable to fathom. It boggles my mind.

And yes, I know that there are some Democrats with that attitude, and I have just as much disdain for them. But it is far less prevalent on that side of the fence. Blind obedience to party seems to be a much more right-wing thing.
