Starving Artist: Totally Insane? Or Just Almost?

Never, to my knowledge. You *did *say…

… which still stands out in my mind as the single most retarded thing I’ve ever seen posted here, so congratulations.

It’s the perfect encapsulation of **mhendo’s **argument about you. “Well, I didn’t know any disgruntled black folk. None of them complained to me.”

There was a related comment at one point about how African Americans, or perhaps people whose civil rights were being shat upon more generally, would have themselves preferred a more gradual transition than the sudden and drastic change that the awful liberals imposed upon everyone.

No, not as retarded as the quote you found, but similar. Kind of reminds me of the Dan Quayle quote to people in American Samoa, IIRC, about “happy campers you have been, and happy campers you will be.”

Just for fun, a gem of paranoid, blame-liberals-for-everything hilarity from SA. I will try to find more of these, since there’s a Pit thread going, but this is the first one I came across this morning. I’m not even going to comment on them, just post them for your collective amusement and edification.

Liberals are responsible for STD rates:

Here’s the problem - you can’t have all those things you say you’re not against (womens’ lib, the Civil Rights era, etc.) without all this other stuff you’re railing against.

Anyway, on what possible grounds could you blame liberals for drugs in society?

They do? That wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that you think conservatives couldn’t find a decent VP candidate because of liberal psychic interference, would it?

Are you joking again? Or are liberals controlling you right now? I can’t tell.

Oh my god, Starving Artist thinks I’ve made a ridiculous statement. My credibility is in shambles.

I also notice you’ve brought political parties back into the discussion, after explicitly disavowing that was ever your point to begin with. Classy.

Not really, no. I thought that was the purpose of the hood-- so conservatives couldn’t be identified in their roles as Klansmen. I freely admit that many conservatives likely don’t embrace the Klan. Again, the Amish come to mind.

I admit I erred when I said that. I was responding to your post, and therefore I had no control over my own words. I apologize. :smiley:

What can I say? He’s one of my favorite liberals.

But very easily mind-controlled, which is understandably confusing to onlookers. You should look into some form of headgear to screen that effect. Or consider abstaining from politics. No offense intended, but our country sorely needs reliable leaders with demonstrable immunity to malign psychotronic influence. You’ve seen what the liberals have made Bush do over the past eight years.

Ya know, even though I disagree with SA’s reasoning about liberalism’s responsibility for STDs, etc., I’m inclined to grab the bull by the horns and attack his moral premises rather than his factual ones. Suppose for the sake of argument that liberalism has led to bad consequences for society. Why not just say, So what? If respecting people’s rights leads to bad consequences, that is no reason to abridge people’s rights. Rights exist to protect individuals from considerations of social utility. Even if the gay rights movement and the corresponding greater tolerance for gays *has *lead to greater incidence of disease in the gay community, BFD. The state doesn’t have the right to restrict what consenting adults do sexually, even if positive consequences would arise from such a restriction.

You know, this whole liberal/STD thing is starting to sound a mite personal. Is there something you would like to share with the group? Get it off your, ah, chest?

Excellent point and I agree.

Though the factual errors are hilarious and shouldn’t be ignored for that fact alone. :smiley:

Damn, that’s impressive!

Those of us who grew up in Virginia back in the day, had to take Virginia History in the fourth grade. Maybe they changed the course for the better later, but in the early 1960s, the text portrayed happy slaves before the Civil War, and troublesome, unhappy Negroes afterwards.

SA has managed to shift that portrayal a century forward, to the civil-rights era. Sweet. :slight_smile:

Mr. Moto, in the Beeyotches thread, said:

*"Well, this view is more widely shared than you might think.

My older black friends often are strangely nostalgic for that era [bolding mine]- and when I asked one of them about that, he mentioned quite sensibly that civil rights marchers in suits and Sunday dresses wanted to share more equally in the decent society that existed then, not share equally in a less decent society that followed."*

This crap about how a less decent society was necessary to do away with racism is utter bullshit. There’s. no. fucking. correlation.

Exactly. Which means jsgoddess was lying, just like I said.

Well, one can hardly expect to come onto a board dominated by liberals, point out to them all the ways they’ve fucked things up, and expect to be showered with bouquets of roses, can one?

Sure you can. Black people themselves made terrific strides in achieving equal rights during the early to late-sixties by being polite, well-dressed and civil in their marches. It wasn’t until white liberals got into the fray in the late sixties that decency went out the window.

Libs (many anyway) love to get in the face of anyone who they think disagrees with them or isn’t moving the way they want fast enough. Even Barack Obama exhorts his followers to “Argue with your friends and neighbors; get in their face”. (Something I’m very happy about by the way. For one thing it shows me Obama isn’t quite the rare though classy lib I thought he was, and second, if there’s anything guaranteed to get somebody to do the opposite of what you want, it’s to get in their face and tell them how they should think or vote.

And frankly, it’s been my observation that things like decency in society doesn’t matter to liberals in the first place…or at least not in the minds of the ones who drive the movement.

Well, first of all, remember that I’m talking about people hewing to liberal philosophy, not necessarily the Democrat party. When the cultural revolution began in the late sixties, liberal spokesmen like Timothy Leary, virtually every psychedelic or rock musician in existence, Hollywood, and virtually every leftie I knew at that time, latched onto drugs as if they were manna from heaven. That mindset was also part of the fun of the time…you know, sticking it to the man, not letting society tell you what you can put in your own body, etc., etc.

Leftie drug use became so prevalent that movements were born (vestiges of which remain today) to legalize them, and eventually everyone just came to view and accept them as part of day-to-day life in this country. Then that pro-drug mentality (which hopefully you will admit certainly hasn’t emanated from the right) led to more harmful and destructive drugs like cocaine and meth, which has in turn led to the pain, misery, suffering and death that I described in my post which Rubystreak posted above.

It’s probably worth noting also that I appreciate your efforts to help get my message out, Rubystreak. :slight_smile:

Again with the lies! (You guys just can’t argue honestly, can you?). :dubious:

I didn’t say conservatives ‘couldn’t’ find a decent VP candidate. What I said, in response to the fun that was being made (and appropriately so, IMO :D) of the coat Palin was wearing, that given her hotness and likeability, we conservatives now kind of have our own Jackie Kennedy, or at least to the degree it’s possible these days, given the society you people have created in which finding classy, stylish and well-turned out women such as Jackie Kennedy is difficult indeed.

And as I also said, if one should somehow magically appear, she would undoubtedly be reviled by the left as a snooty rich bitch out of touch with everyday Americans and who thinks she’s better than everyone else.

Yep, there’s no room for class, style or manners in the liberal mindset. Cite :dubious:

Okay, you got me. My teenage girlfriends and I hate condoms! (But since one out of every four has a case of the nasties, what else can ya do but use 'em or go celibate?)

There, happy now?

By parity of reasoning, there’s no room for class, style or manners in the conservative mindset either.

As opposed to lefties, who would take us forward into an impossible golden age in the future based on a dumbass hippie philosophy of multiculturalism and the worship of diversity for its own sake. I am extremely leary of anyone who takes golden ages seriously.

Just like the right wing to consider xenophobia a virtue, isn’t it?

What lie? You claimed (proudly!) that Palin was the best you guys could present as a classy and sophisticated representative, and that somehow liberals are directly to blame.

Oh my god. McCain supporters marched through a New York street art festival, and people yelled “Boo!” and “No war!” And some people even gave them “the finger!” There may be even more egregious gestures in there, but it’s hard to make out some of the details on account of all the superimposed text:

I’m sorry, you were saying something about how “my side” can’t argue honestly?

Gosh, “Coliseum with lions?” “Tarred and feathered?” Yeah, I could sense the atmosphere of violent persecution from the way the marchers were peacefully allowed to complete their demonstration.
By the way, Starving Artist, what is that tune playing on your video clip? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I can’t seem to place it. :smiley:

Just like a leftie to consider anti-white racism a virture, isn’t it?

Just like **LonesomePolecat **to throw the word “racist” around while continuing to profoundly misunderstand what it means.

Liar. Multiculturalism =/= racism against white people, and only someone who somehow thinks that white people somehow deserve to be considered exceptional among all others would think so. You can’t play nice and simply be one part of this collage of immigration and world culture we call the US, perhaps you’d prefer to live in one of the more traditionally monocultural European countries instead.

jayjay, please don’t try to unload our problems on Europe. I haven’t yet fully given up hope of visiting there someday.

Aw, fuck that shit, you whiny little pussy. Anti-white racism is the most ubiquitous form of racism today, and multiculturalism is one of its forms. The men who founded this country never intended it to be a beautiful multicultural rainbow, and whites in America never consented to being reduced to a minority in the country their own ancestors founded. Whites have absolutely nothing to gain from giving up their status as the dominant majority, and this “collage of immigration and world culture” is becoming dangerously more unstable with every passing decade.
