That’s the most generous comment you’ve ever made about conservatives in a decade of posting. Bravo!
It is a puzzler, I admit. Why on earth would a messageboard explicitly devoted to fighting ignorance tend to skew left? I am clueless.
Only the liberal ones. Conservative chimps— like their Homo sapiens counterparts— are obsessively self-motivated.
Compassionate Conservatives?
They work hard for their shit and are not about to “redistribute the poop” by flinging it indiscriminately.
Show me one, just one, citation that shows that conservatives work harder than liberals.
This is just another of the bullshit self-aggrandizing fantasies that the US Right has about itself.
“Only conservatives have jobs”. “Only conservatives support the troops or serve in the military”. Yeah, right.
It’s a joke.
Fact is, blue states subsidise the mooching and parasitic red states. The blue states would be far better off if they didn’t have to put up with the conservative rear-end of humanity that is the conservative part of the US. What exactly is it that you think the conservative part of America actually brings to the table?
Didn’t read for comprehension, did you?
I noted your projection.
Wow. This thread should be in the pit, really. I can’t believe what I’m reading!
If you “conservatives” had an argument to bring to the table you’d do it.
You don’t, so you just start threads like this one and whine about how awfully you’ve been mistreated.
This would be excusable if the underlying premise of conservatism had any kind of moral validity.
But it does not. Conservatives are continually telling us all that looking out for oneself is a virtue, and that standing up for selfishness is a form of valor.
Defend that shit. Put up or shut up.
EEP! EEP! <splortch>
Was that a “jacking off <splortch>” or a “poop-flinging <splortch>”?
On second thought, I don’t want to know.
In college I was still pretty conservative and I would pick up DC’s City Paper whenever I could. Mostly for Cecil, Life is Hell and to see who was playing in the area. But I knew about Cecil from the books before that.
If you read any of those threads you would see its not a conservative/liberal issue despite how the media wants to portray it. Plenty of libs own guns plenty of cons don’t.
When I started reading the board on AOL I was young. Not so much any more.
In the eyes of the board I would be considered generally conservative. But really you would have to go issue by issue. Con on some lib on others.
My two cents:
We aren’t primarily interested in Conservatism or Liberalism here. We’re interested in TRUTH. Look at the header to the site: “Fighting Ignorance Since 1973. It’s taking longer than we thought.”
Note also that the most frequent response to any posting is “Cite?”. If you’ve got facts to back up your position, you fit in here. If you don’t have facts, you get called on it.
It may just be that most of the “Conservative” positions don’t have the facts to back them up, so they get shot down. (“Liberal” positions also get shot down if they don’t have facts to back them up.)
That’s why I’m on the board. I’m interested in the truth about things, not someone’s biased wet dream of how they would like it to be. And this is the best place I’ve found on the internet that is truly interested in TRUTH.
J.
Without knowing it was a Colbert line, this was my 1st thought.
That statistic only proves that 42% of Americans are easily misled by fancy suits, bad haircuts, fake promises and blatant lies.
I’ve met many intelligent conservatives. But not a single one actually makes use of that intellect.
Sorry if this was already mentioned:
There are fewer conservatives here because they believe computers are tools of the devil?
Can someone turn on a fan? The smug is getting thick.
When the other side is so relentlessly wrong and evil it’s hard not to be “smug”.
You the pot or the kettle?
