ohh yes...and the Democrats display such integrity...get real steen...stop spewing that crap.
Liberals are simply insane...they have a mental disorder and they are going to be the downfall of America...immigration...political correctness...outsourcing...
You don't even understand what democratic means if you think that...both parties display democratic ideals...look up Hamilton and Jefferson if you actually care...
A nation is defined by borders, language and culture...the liberals want to break down our borders...toss away the language...and devalue our culture.
Democrats and liberal garbage in particular make me sick.
You simplistic, narrow minded sheep. (ok, so yeah I got involved in the mudslinging and dirty-dozens name calling, but it got your attention, right? :mrgreen: )
Lets for just a moment forget about democrat and republican, liberal and conservative, left and right...and just talk about people.
Actually, lets take a cue from one of the other forums and create an "abortion" hot seat, so to speak.
I'll volunteer, since it is my post to start.
I am a republican by registration and heredity. My parents were tobacco farmers and my siblings are military...republicans by default, right? But then there is me...a gay republican who denies the Log Cabin agenda. What the fu.ck (sorry about outsmarting the profanity filter, mods). Why the hell would I vote republican and much less for Jesse Helms in the last NC election I voted in.
Well, glad you asked, my padawan learners...
ready...
like a here it goes...
Just like the abortion issue...not everything is set in black and white. I hate jesse helms for his social beliefs...but the man was a genius when it came to protecting my financial interests. Plus...look at it like this...he was a dying breed socially...I mean...come on...he was responsible for:
a public access caller supporting ole uncle Jesse said:
I just thank you every day Jesse for keeping them gott-damn ******s down. We love you.
He was a champion for his constituency...while leading his constituency into a new realm of thought. Elsewise...why would he have had me, a gay kid, as his page.
The point is...these issues dividing us arent black and white. They are very grey. If I, a VERY PROUD gay man, can appreciate one such as (R-NC) Senator Jesse Helms, for all he did, despite being in direct opposition to my personal agenda....then why cant you guys just try to give eachother a little respect and open-mindedness when it comes to a slug of flesh (kidding kidding) that you will never meet? Just a thought and I welcome input.
