Crazy ass republicans

[TomCat84]

After you have queued the cued nihilists what ya gonna do with them? :biggrin:

I was trying to think of a clever queue as a line of people joke- but alas, I am not as clever as some of the folks around here :wink:

I have noticed an abundance of republicans on this forum.
That wouldnt be a problem if they werent of the crazy teabagger variety.

And they seem to assume anyone who disagrees with them is a liberal democrat.

I would just like to say I am a Federalist. Look it up.

This is not a shot at all the republicans because im sure there are more rational ones then loony toons but...

You know.

Anyway The point of this thread is to separate the crazy bastards from the rest.

So if you are indeed a republican fell free to post a couple of your thought on various hot button or keystone topics.

In A=B=C fashion, it'd seem plausible that you are a Constitutionalist, of which there is a modern party.

I doubt he thought about it that much. Sounds like a punk kid who's just trying to sound smart.

Even so, why insult him. Hell, at least he is thinking.

Why do so many in this particular forum here on an otherwise fun and friendly website engage in such name calling and downright mean behavior?

^Why does such a supposedly 'rugged' conservative suddenly have such tender feelings? Aren't you the same guy always whining about political correctness being for sissies?

Keep running in circles sport... Afterall, your side is defined by its hypocrisy.

Because people like you provide the fuel, then try to back out of it by saying it's "just a joke" when it starts to burn. You can only do that so many times before people get a little tired of it.

Innocence is not your strong suit.

I've always been a registered Republican. However, the party has been taken over not by conservatives, but by a bunch of radical crazy people. As a result, I have not voted for a Republican candidate for many years. I consider myself to be a pragmatist. Do whatever works and is fair and just without worrying about such labels as liberal, conservative, Democrat, or Republican. Labels just obfuscate issues and I eschew obfuscation.

^ I consider myself a pragmatic progressive liberal who is registered non-partisan :wink:

Where do you get this stuff. Gawd, it's funny. It's like you only read the words you want to see and then you make up whatever is missing that you need to see.

rugged, tender feelings, sissies? lmao. Dude you crack me up.

I'm a people person! I recognize the good and bad in things. I look for balance. I find balance in things other than love and war to be the best solution most times.

Fiscally conservative, socially more liberal. Is that hard for you guys to get?

Disagree fine - but you guys are a trip when you get people who see things differently. Attack attack.....discredit, lie, name call ATTAAAAACCCCCCK!!!!

It's funny and sad all at the same time. How is it living in a world where you think you guys are the only smart people? You must be sooooo frustrated with people of such a lack of understanding occupying the same area as you.

Same here. Independent voter, slightly disgusted by the Democrats for a while now, but absolutely aghast at the direction of Republicans since 2000. IMO the root of the problem is that successful election theft then left them thinking that votes don't matter. Hence Obama cannot be a legitimate president regardless of election results, or be treated with any respect by R officeholders.

One reason I remain a registered Republican is that it provides me with the ability to complain to party leaders about what the party is doing. Being a member of a political party increases one's ability to influence the party.

That's basically my position. However, having a degree in business administration with the equivalent of a minor in economics, I believe that there are times when running a deficit is a necessary evil. Unfortunately, George II pushed through tax cuts at a time when we were engaged in two wars, thereby pushing deficits to (then) record levels, and now it requires even more risky deficit spending to reverse the financial melt-down.

It would be unfair to blame the melt-down on any one party or administration; there is plenty of guilt to go around. But, some problems could have been avoided.

Here in New Mexico, the state, when there was a budget surplus, spent more than necessary and gave money back to tax payers. It should have kept better control over spending and INVESTED the surplus to provide funds for hard times. Because it did not, there are now serious problems which are exacerbated by corruption.

Queue the nihilist.

Still into the pigeon-holing and stereotype-reinforcement? My rejection of externally-imposed labels is not nihilistic; if anything, it's vastly life affirming.

^I dont think the kid knows what nihilism is, really

^I dont think the kid knows what nihilism is, really

So he knows nothing about nihilism? Anyone who took Latin is chuckling right now, admit it!

 

[B_VinylBoy]

nihilism - the rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless

Just because he refuses to adhere to the overly used labels spun in society doesn't mean that he thinks life is meaningless. I side with BBucko here. Labels are tired.

Indeed: "one fits all" never does.

And I'd have never survived living with HIV/AIDS for twenty-six years if I were a nihilist.
