Okay, I see your point…individual folks who happen to be Mormon are usually nice, helpful, competent, regular folks. So maybe “worthless herd” isn’t quite the best way to put it.
“Laughably deluded, with some very questionable and occasionally borderline dangerous ideas” might work better.
Speaking as an impartial observer, I feel I must point out that, in fact, Jack Batty’s snark worked beautifully. It made a good point about the blind partisanship of Obama’s detractors, people who look with kindly, forgiving eyes on Bush’s innumerable fuck-ups, while reserving their most critical judgements for Obama, a man who, if he turned water into wine on the White House steps, would merely be pillioried for his choice of vintage. More importantly, it was funny.
It worked. It just worked. You don’t have to believe this, or even understand it. Your lack of comprehension doesn’t change anything. You do, however, have to just accept that, although the remark was addressed to you, you were not its target audience, that the rest of us found it amusing and that, consequently, you should shut the fuck up about it! You are, on this point, completely and unalterably wrong. Always and forever. Get it? Got it? Good.
Bush promised to get the son of a bitch and then failed miserably (while getting us bogged down in two wars and lots of other bullshit). Along the way Bin Laden was “not all that important” (it is a matter of public record that he said this) or was the bogeyman (depending on which was expedient at whatever time to bolster his “ratings”). Mitt Romney is on record as having been against going after the son of a bitch.
Obama approved the plan to go to Pakistan and kill the son of a bitch in his house. And it worked.
Oh boy, another voice from the voice from the echo chamber. :roll eyes: The problem isn’t that a bunch of like-minded wankers would go yuk-yuk-yuk as they pull their puds over a shot using their go-to demon, Bush. Hardly. The problem is that it’s based on the fabricated erroneous notion that I voted for Bush or was/am a fan of his. Not that you and you’re ilk have a problem with a rank lack of truthiness.
Not sure I agree. I cant say my buddy speaks for all gays, but from what he told me, the gay community isnt completely “smitten” with him. They felt betrayed and lied too. Now, they see it is nothing more then a vote getter. At least to listen to him, he still doesnt think Obama will do anything. Even in his words, this is just a deflection to get people off the economy history over the last few years
That being said, it isnt like they will vote for Romney or any of the other Republican bigots.
“Everyone thinks I’m wrong, therefore they are all fools and I am right”
You’re a clown. Not the funny kind - the sad kind that is drunk at the side of the road and has pissed himself. Really, we should just look away, but it’s fascinating in a sick sort of way.
Let’s not give Dick Cheney too much credit for a Profiles in Courage moment on this issue. First of all, he has a gay daughter, which tends to clarify one’s attitudes towards gay people. Second, he waited until 2009, after he was out of office and guaranteed never to run for any office again due to his single digit popularity, to annouce his decision.
People like that always bother me, its like they don’t see what would happen if the other side gets to put the clamps down on civil rights progress. Do they ever stop to think if a McCain or Romney administration would have the accomplishments that this president has made?
They act like its Obama vs. himself, where the idealized version of Obama with <your minority group here> rights as his foremost priority is fighting against the reality of Obama with the obstructionist and hateful conservative Congressmen. Of course its to get votes (or to not lose them) but of course it is still the right move. If the ultimate goal is civil rights, marriage rights, adoption rights, etc., then if I were a member of that minority group then I would not care how I get them as long as I get them.
It may be different in this community. As far as adoption, or same sex parents, Ive seen many here. My daughter went to a school where about 25% of the parents were same sex. I dont know how many of those kids were of 1 of the parent or adopted. (Small school. Only a couple hundred kids.)
Since you can’t conclusively demonstrate the extent to which my views accord with those of the majority, I can dismiss your entire post as baseless and can be safely mocked and ignored.
