I am part of the problem, I’m sorry, it’s true. I’ve added to this message board’s net income by clicking on a Google ad. Please forgive me, I couldn’t resist finding out what the heck this:
…was advertising.

Damn, when did Foul Ol’ Ron learn to use the Internet?
Millenium hand and shrimp!
That’s the second time you tried to tell someone else what they’re thinking in this thread.
I don’t care what political philosophy you subscribe to, that’s just rude.
So what is that bends you so out of shape with with a same sex couple holding hands or even tenderly kissing?, is your constituency so fragile that the mere sight of such crumbles it to a pile of bigoted ruble? Oh manly straight shooting conservative paragon of decency, huh?
Or is it that you see two guys holding hands in the park and your brain jumps to "buttfucking! :eek: " faster than the flick of a finger?
Crosses legs, opens notebook and clicks pen:
Tell me, Danbar, why are you so obssesed with homosexual sex?
I really haven’t got the time to wade through three pages of trolling and troll-baiting.
Which of course is why I just have! 
Gotta love the pressure of imminent coursework and exams.
I think the OP is actually Ben Stein.
I picture Mr. Stein reclining nude under purple satin sheets, head propped on one arm as he clacks away his stern missives on his laptop. All the while, he is being gently spooned by a hirsute Sean Hannity purring in his ear: “You were great last night, kitten. During and after the show. Now turn off that laptop and come to Daddy!”
I doubt it — a random word generator would produce something more coherent.
Methinks the infinity of monkeys and their corresponding typewriters have been reassigned from producing the complete works of Shakespeare.
Hiya, Tokie.
I think it turns them on, and they don’t like it. Makes them feel all dirty.
I thought maybe it was december. Except he doesn’t speak in limericks, so that’s probably out.
Hey, hey, HEY! Just because it’s true doesn’t mean it’s a nice thing to say.
I gotta admit, the prospect of free posting had me a bit worried, but I haven’t laughed this much in a while. It’ll be good to have the fringe element back, at least for a little bit.
Yeah, I’ve missed the inimitable odor of paste-breath.
I think that’s what he’s saying; it’s kind of hard to tell. But to be honest, I’ve seen a number of liberals – usually within the confines of academia – with the exact same attitude only the other way around.
A pox on them both, I say.
Even if it’s mere fingerbanging, the image is too horrifying to contemplate.
Please do not evoke a nude Ben Stein again. That makes my brain hurt. Besides he is a Libertarian. There are about 12 libertarians in the world and 11 are board members here. I hope he is the one who has not found his voice here.
Danbar,
Please consider my carefully constructed reply.
Conservatism’s lack of ethics has become, so flagrant, that it merits your complete attention. But first, let me pose you, a question: Is Conservatism actually concerned about any of us or does it just want to create, anomie? After reading this letter, you’ll definitely find it’s the latter. If I could ask Conservatism one thing, I’d ask it why it thinks it is a spokesman, for God. The problem is that Conservatism shrinks from such questions like a vampire shrinks, from a crucifix. You’d be more likely to get Conservatism to admit that its goombahs are a subspecies of those inane tossers whose nasty excuses and jealous fulminations have become the stuff of legend. Well, that’s another story. To get back to my main point, I ought to mention that I do not appreciate being labeled, no one does. Nevertheless, most people don’t realize that Conservatism has already revealed its plans to make things, worse. It revealed these plans in a manifesto bearing all of the hallmarks of having been written by an avaricious huckster. Not only is its manifesto entirely lacking in logic, relentlessly subjective, and completely anecdotal, but in a rather infamous speech, Conservatism exclaimed that a richly evocative description of a problem automatically implies the correct solution to that problem. (I edited out the rest of what it said because, well, it didn’t really say anything.)
My argument is that Conservatism raises an enormous hullabaloo and tries to drown me out every time I state in public that its promise of equality is a false one. Ridiculous? Not. One might avouch that at the heart of the problem is Conservatism’s obliviousness to history, its moral cowardice masked in bold rhetoric, and its overwhelmingly shallow political, posturing. While that’s true, it does somewhat miss the point, you see, if you look soberly and carefully at the evidence all around you, you will clearly find that some reputed – as opposed to reputable – members of its junta quite adamantly think that Conservatism is a paragon of morality and wisdom. I find it rather astonishing that anyone could claim such a thing but then again, I receive a great deal of correspondence from people all over the world. And one of the things that impresses me about it is the massive number of people who realize that Conservatism once tried to enact new laws forcing anyone who’s not one of its devotees to live in an environment that can, at best, be described as contemptuously tolerant. If you consider this an exception to the rule then you undeniably don’t understand how Conservatism operates. I hope, however, that you at least understand that it likes to brag about how the members of its faction are ideologically diverse. Perhaps that means that some of them prefer Stalin over Hitler. In any case, Conservatism maintains that people prefer “cultural integrity” and “multicultural sensitivity” to health, food, safety, and the opportunity to choose their own course through life. This is hardly the case. Rather, there is growing evidence that says, to the contrary, that I don’t just want to make a point. I don’t just want to provide a trenchant analysis of its subliminal psywar campaigns. I’m here to give an alternate solution, a better one. I don’t just ask rhetorical questions; I have answers. That’s why I’m telling you that it avers that it has its moral compass in tact. As you can no doubt determine from comments like that, facts and Conservatism are like oil and water.
I imagine that if one dares to criticize even a single tenet of Conservatism’s fibs, one is promptly condemned as ridiculous, evil, self-satisfied, or whatever epithet Conservatism deems most appropriate, usually without much explanation. Never mind that Conservatism would swear on a stack of Bibles that it can convince criminals to fill out an application form before committing a crime. What’s really important is that I speak from experience. Don’t make the mistake of thinking otherwise. Conservatism does, and that’s why it has a knack for convincing shrewish duffers that we have no reason to be fearful about the criminally violent trends in our society today and over the past ten to fifteen years. That’s called marketing. The underlying trick is to use sesquipedalian terms like “saccharogalactorrhea” and “orbiculatoelliptical” to keep its sales pitch from sounding homicidal. That’s why you really have to look hard to see that in public, Conservatism vehemently inveighs against corruption and sin. But when nobody’s looking, Conservatism never fails to erode constitutional principles that have shaped our society and remain at the core of our freedom and liberty. Now that you’ve reached the end of this letter, let me leave you with the key take-away message: Conservatism and its zealots are blossoms on the upas tree of unilateralism.
Hey, you don’t have to recognize the wisdom of the Goldberg book. Just remember, Freedom is Slavery.
Danbar I suspect a take-over by the Priesthood.
To quote your response to me in your Buffalo Beast thread:
“Glad you enjoyed it.”
I fully suspect that free posting will attract similar kinds of posters that currently use the guest system. There will be some people posting without reading forum/board rules, some people that become good posters almost immediately, some loud and obnoxious idiots, some nutjobs, and some that quietly go about joining the community. There will just be more of them.
Points to anyone who can guess which group danbar falls into.
Can there be overlap with a couple of groups?
