I'm starting a new political party

I’m honored to be called a “low-grade moron” by someone I’m 99% sure has a lower IQ than me.

…anyway Leftists went off the rails when they stopped believing in God. Back in the 1700s and 1800s there were what we would today call “left-wing” viewpoints, but they were still grounded in a solid belief in the divine.

Since that link to God was severed, the ship of leftism has been adrift.

btw, the beliefs of the religious will seem more and more irrational the further from God you drift. Athiesm? That way lies monsters, my friend.

You are aware that almost all liberals are not atheists, right?

What was the name of the party again? I fell asleep halfway through the 1st paragraph.

I might note that stupid people like yourself aren’t that good at estimating probabilities. :smiley:

Well I knew you were stupid, but c’mon, stop making this so easy!

If you want a sinking ship, see the 21st century Republican Party. The uneducated conservative Christians are singing hymns on the poop deck while the educated, Buckley wing are filling the lifeboats.

Who cares about the Republican Party? That’s an effective organization! :rolleyes:

Who said I was Republican? Why do you insist on placing your opponents into these little compartments?

All I’ve said is that 1) I believe in God. 2) I think you’re a douche.

Yeah, some of them believe in the Earth Mother, the female Jesus, and the Lord of the Corn. :rolleyes:

I’m being facetious. Sure, some liberals still believe in God. And some conservatives are atheists. And here come the log cabin Republicans! And I think there’s a Frenchman somewhere who bathes regularly. And I once found a clover with four leaves. And once a century, a magical unicorn gets his wings…

Wow, you’re seriously stupid. Atheists are a small chunk of American society, and virtually every prominent Democrat is a Christian.

Yeah, you sure sound like an independent to me. :rolleyes:

And you’re dense.

Claiming belief and actually abiding by the principles of religious doctrine are two different things.

…or do you believe Senator Kerry is a genuine Catholic?

I don’t insist. We’re talking about a new party, and you took it an attack on the republican party and attacked the left, presumably meaning the democratic party.

Like it or not, until Malleus, Incus, Stapes! new party takes off we have two viable options in this country. I imagine a knuckle-dragging sack of shit like yourself would have to vote Republican, owing to your strong devotion to your imaginary friend and dislike of facts and reason.

If you don’t vote Republican you’re still a stupid fucking conservative.

‘Ah! But no true Christian would be a Democrat!’

Er, sorry, I paraphrased a little. That alright?

Who are you to pass judgment over who is a true Catholic? Wasn’t there a stinking peacenick hippie a couple thousand years ago who said some shit about that?

Oooh. I get to multi-quote.

I’m conservative and religious. I’m as independent as possible under those two constraints. I mean, would it kill the Democrats to put up SOMEONE I might consider voting for once in awhile? Clinton came close, in '92. Still waiting for another. Prospects look dim due to general nutbaggery among the left right now.

Meh. You might have a point here. MIGHT.

I just glanced through the thread and thought “sounds like a regular bunch of lefty nutbars.” I should have read through the posts more carefully. One guy called me on it, in fact. Mea culpa.

But as for your other point? Attacking the left? Shut up. Any opportunity to attack the Democratic party and the left in general should be taken on general prinicple. There are many possible ways to fix what’s wrong with society, but identity politics, victimhood politics, and 60s-era intellectualizing are definitely ruled out.

First, quit it with the smooth talk. You aren’t getting a date.

Second, I worship God, you lefties worship the planet. What’s the diff?

And if you want to drag reason into this, I’ll share a tidbit with you. The reason I’m not into protecting the earth is that I always assumed that we’d have to dismantle it eventually, to provide the raw materials for our move into space. So why sweat a few endangered species today?

Again with the silver tongue.

Pretty much. The Bible says things that liberals can’t quite get their minds around.

Question #1 - Do you believe in God?
Question #2 - Do you reject abortion?

Boiled down, those 2 questions had better be “yes”, or yeah, you’re not a true Catholic. They’re both kind of requirements.

Cough

Ooh, Mommy, can I feed the troll? There’s a dispenser full of pellets over by his cage! :rolleyes:

But it’s so much fun! Trolls are such adorable little creatures, if you mind the snot at least.

How’s about a cite on that, assface? I utterly defy you (and your like-minded shitheel compatriot, mhendo, who has also called me a liar today) to back up your assertions with examples of lies I’ve told.

I’m betting crickets will chirp.

Lulz. That good enough for you shitbird?

Admit it, ADMIT IT, you had more than 5 dollars on you, didn’t you? :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: As for the OP, Godwin’s Law says nothing about losing the argument. It simply states that the as long as a discussion continues, the probability of a comparison to Nazis or Hitler approaches 1. Assuming it meant you lose is something a Nazi would do… wait… crap.
