A memory of elephants? There’s a novel title in there somewhere…
G. I. Joe
Yeah, I’ve noticed as well how overrun with Democratic pile-ons the Freerepublic boards are, and how little they acknowledge a fellow Republican :rolleyes:
Not Perfect? What a clumsy diversion attempt!
I am arguing modern Dems are useless. Can’t even piss up a river.
What that has got to do with anything here?
You are a total idiot.
I was trying to pay Dems a compliment, distinguishing them from lemmings and caribou; comparing them with territorial animals, living in family units and endowed with distinct personalities.
Are you trying to say they aren’t?
No, you’re stating or ranting that the Democrats are useless. For you to be arguing that the Democrats are useless, you would have to actually make some sense, take a coherent position, and support it with rational discussion. You haven’t yet managed any of that.
The point i was making, and which you are apparently too thick to understand, is that your OP was so stupid, so full of shit, and so obviously uninformed, that it was not necessary to offer any coherent argument is rebuttal. All shit like yours requires is the appropriate shovel.
No need to divert with idiots like you, it is amusing to see how you compliment and then you condemn at the same time. Can’t argue with someone that shits all over the place.
BTW: your pissing tale has as a moral that one can not change his/her fate as a slave or servant; as I said before, the American Revolution and then Civil war was fought to end that. Look for other metaphors you elephant dung.
I’m sure this whole donkey/elephant thing sounded really clever during the months you spent crafting it, but it’s not. It’s garbage. You’ve actually managed to be wrong on just about everything during the course of this thread. Your OP simply reeks of someone who is trying to look clever but just can’t hack it. Every response you post is a wild swing that connects with nothing.
The worst part is that you will probably write this whole disaster of a thread off as another liberal pile on. :rolleyes:
Naw, some are quite intelligent. It can be hard to tell if they are also incoherent.
And sometimes they get into the liquor cabinet, go berserk and make a mess.
Alas, so far the effort was quite mediocre.
mhendo managed a decent donkey-jackass contraposition. The rest couldn’t rise above elephant dung.
If you had paid attention to what **mhendo **said, you should have realized by now that there is no need to do any special efforts to show to everyone else that you are indeed elephant dung. Care to point out who is defending you with your piss poor metaphors?
With VCO3 DQed by suspension, it looks like we have three clear leaders. (duffer’s not even in the race any more, he’s been making way too much sense lately. 
) How to choose? They’re all such worthy candidates, each bringing his own special twist of the knife to the body of human knowledge.
Perhaps we should declare them a triumvirate? The Three Assmen of the Apoplectic?
Your link goes to the ‘report bad post’ box.
But I don’t see why we couldn’t have an Anti-Doper triumvirate. But calling them assmen reminds me of Mallrats, though.
Says BANNED under his little name here.
Well, your part in the pile on has been equally mediocre. The OP was boring and wrong on just about every count. Your replies have made little sense. Thus far the pile on has been more about fighting ignorance than political hatred.
Now Reeder or Brutus. They knew how to start a pile on. Now all we’ve got is Iskander. 
Sure, Scylla is doing his damndest, but it’s just not the same. This board really is going downhill.
ETF, VCO3 was clearly using stupidity steroids. It’s not fair to the rest of the people participating and it sets a bad example for the kids out there.
As for the rest of them, I’ve got Updike in a close third. Excessive light was a great start but he’s kind of fading in the back stretch. Iskander is making a good showing in this thread, but he’s still kind of flaily. No form at all. I’m putting my money on Clothahump. Not only was the CNN completely stupid, but he’s shown an ability to run that is yet unmatched by the other competitors.
What? New Iskander has posted a lengthy, labored, semi-comprehensible rant solely to express his dislike of some of the members of this board? Wow, never saw anything like that before.
Nope, they’re Republicans, and they are in charge right now. Almost forgot, NI is full of shit and borders on lying. However, plenty of OTHER Republicans AND Democrats did serve. They are just not in charge.
Below is a short list of our war hero leaders and shills, followed by a short list of cowardly peacenik Democrats.
Gingrich - Though he relentlessly pushes military spending and talks like a bigtime hawk, Gingrich avoided the Vietnam War through a combination of student and family deferments. Used the Cheney method to avoid serving in Vietnam: first a student deferment, then marriage deferment when rules for student deferment were tightened
Bush - You know when a guy walks away from a National Guard obligation during wartime and gets away with it, he must come from “a good family.” Not that his daddy had anything to do with his getting a Guard slot in the first place - oh, no …
Used family to join Texas National Guard , a draft-dodging tactic favored by “sons of the powerful” (Colin Powell/Memoirs). GWB went AWOL when National Guard introduced drug testing, remained AWOL for 17 months- SEVENTEEN MONTHS – in 1972-3. He was not disciplined for this in any way. In 2000, angry Alabama veterans offered a $3,500 reward to anyone who could prove that Bush had served in the state. There were no takers.
Cheney - Says he had “other priorities.” You bet he had other priorities. Imagine how early in life you must begin scheming to get away with what this guy has. He was too busy thinking about Halliburton to go fight Charlie. Started with student deferment; when rules tightened, married to get family deferment. When rules changed to exempt only married men with children, Cheney went to work, fathering a child born exactly nine months and two days after the rule-change. “* had other priorities in the 1960s than military service.”
O’Reilly - Avoided military service during Vietnam era by unknown strategy.
Lott - Lott, like other students, enjoyed an exemption until his graduation from law school in 1967. By then he had married Tricia Thompson of Pascagoula and, according to Selective Service records, secured a ‘hardship’ exemption because of the impending birth of their first child Chet.
Libby - Clearly “Scooter” is a ballsy kind of guy, so it’s a complete mystery to us why, when he graduated from Phillips Andover in 1968, he didn’t enlist in the Marines or go Airborne instead of going to Yale.
Rumsfeld - When the shooting started in Korea Rummy here was either 18, or about to turn 18. Not to worry for him, though — he spent the war at Princeton, wearing a ROTC uniform. Once the war was over he flew jets for the Navy for a few years. Defenders of Rumsfeld will say he’s no chickenhawk — he served, and it’s not his fault the war ended before he got his commission. To which others answer, “plenty of farmers and mechanics and kids just out of high school served. served in Navy (1954-57) as flight instructor.
Wolfowitz - Yet another Bush administration man in the Pentagon who has no idea what it’s like to wear a uniform. He got a BA at Cornell in 1965. Maybe if we’d had a guy as bright as he thinks he is in Vietnam, it would have turned out differently. Also, avoided military service during the height of the Vietnam War, due to elusive medical problems which vanished once that unhealthy draft ceased.
DeLay - “I would have joined up but those minorities took all the places”
Limbaugh - alleged medical problem which RL has identified as either “anal cysts” or "an ingrown hair follicle on my bottom " Also eligible for exemption under Vietnam-era draft law on sexual orientation. “…and, upon taking a physical, was discovered to have a physical – uh, by virtue of what the military says, I didn’t even know it existed – a physical deferment and then the lottery system came along, when they chose your lot by birthdate, and mine was high. And I did not want to go”.
Ashcroft - To avoid serving in Vietnam, Ashcroft sought and received a military deferment because, he claimed, he was involved in work of national importance: teaching business education at a small college in his native Missouri.
Feith - Turned 18 the year draft ended. Legitimate reason, unlike the others.
Rove - Lott says he (Rove) was so focused on his studies and student political matters, such as getting soda machines in the dorms, that he didn’t think much about either protesting the war or volunteering for it.
Kemp - sought medical deferment (while playing in the NFL). “Knee problem,” although continued in NFL for 8 years.
Buchanan - Sought deferment (for bad knee).
Robertson - His US Senator father got him out of Korea as soon as the shooting began.
Reagan - Due to poor eyesight, served in a non-combat role making movies.
(My comment: I managed to be "accepted into the Army, despite terrible eyesight. The only time it was a problem, was when I tried to get into helicopter flight school. I was turned down).
Schwarzenegger - AWOL from the Austrian army

Well you dumped so much of the bloody stuff in the OP it’s hardly surprising. Sir Edmund Hillary would think twice about taking on that mountain.
What have you been eating, by the way?
