> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > That would fit really well on a bumper sticker, right next to [this one](http://rlv.zcache.co.nz/one_man_plus_one_woman_equals_marriage_bumper_sticker-rfc4743e763b44025b2e0f6ff9b704907_v9wht_8byvr_512.jpg). I can’t tell if you’re serious. I mean, pro-straight is a valid view. It just doesn’t extend to legally banning gay marriage, or otherwise being a jerk. “GOP: Over-reaching in legally imposing our preferences on everyone.” ---

I found it humorous compared to real RW bumper stickers that say things like the one I posted earlier. ---

If an op title hurts your precious sensibilities maybe you should refrain from clicking on it? And maybe limit your intake on the Dope to Clothahump’s “Stupid Liberal Idea of the Day” if all you’re looking for here is warm smoke blown up your ass? Just some suggestions to limit the butt hurt brah. Oh, and you have a nice day too cupcake. ---

GOP: Let Freedom Ring!\* \*Freedom does not ring for everyone, and might not ring for you. Ringing of freedom is limited to citizens of the USA who are of European ancestry, own property, and attend the right church. ---

Alternatively, maybe I’ll post in threads that I might have a whim to post in. Yeah, I think I’ll go with that. And sorry to disappoint you, but I actually enjoyed many of the posts in this thread. (Did you think I was a GOPer? Ha!) Funny is funny. And assholish is assholish. Don’t believe me? Look in the mirror. :D:D ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I don’t think anyone would claim this is a debate. I wasn’t referring to this thread, but to the board generally. And as one might suspect, specifically to a forum with “Debate” in it’s title. Plus truth is, its hard to tell with you\* guys sometimes if it’s a debate or not. 😉 The generic, plural "you, of course. ---
