The media is encouraging a battle between Paul, Cruz, Christie, Clinton, and Biden. Super PACs, under the permissions given by Citizen’s United and the SCOTUS, will empower these folks in their efforts to run.In the meantime, really good people with vision, ideas, and lacking the baggage of the aforementioned five candidates will watch with the rest of us from the sidelines while candidates pick their voters instead of voters picking candidates.Tiredly,C.
I would venture to guess that “we conservatives” are not all that much different from “you liberals”—excuse me, “libtards”.
Some conservatives do hate people, believe it or not. And your term “libtards” does not help support your premise that conservatives don’t hate.
Some liberals do not fear conservatives. They (and I) may fear the results of plans that conservatives want to put into place, but we don’t necessarily fear the people who want to put them there.
I would strongly caution you not to assume that everyone who believes differently than you do is exactly the same in every respect. That kind of assumption will only play into the us-vs.-them mentality that has caused, and continues, our current gridlock.
Wow. Let’s look at the evidence here, shall we?Radish cited a fact: that Rand was quoting a line found in Wikipedia, and nothing else.Gresch insulted liberals by identifying them with 1984DebtFree insulted liberals by claiming they “hate others” for no reasonskipcarlson insulted liberals by calling them “libtards” and by saying they should visit their psychiatrists for “conservaphobia.”Meanwhile,Respectful Troll and I Play One on TV both tried to engage politely.Dear conservatives: let’s tone it down a bit and maybe you can have a conversation, eh?
Where do you think wikipedia took it fromThe first sentence of Wikipedia looks a lot like the first sentence on IMDB. But, both are user generated content. If only there were a way to know which was written first…BUT, there is! The IMDB entry dates from 2008, the Wikipedia version dates from 2006. So, in this case, IMDB must have plagiarized Wikipedia. Since both are user generated content, it’s possible that the same person wrote both.Apparently, getting your facts straight before making a claim, is a liberal thing. /sarcasm
@Zuhlamon & Robert Landers:There are a few conservative leaning posters here who can actually make logical & articulate comments, but many more seem to just want to post without regard to supporting their statements.There are a lot more people who read the comments than engage, so I usually feel obligated to point out anything that is a flat out lie.
Thank you, so do I. And those few such as RT that actually make a visible effort to remain relatively moderate and usefully in the middle politically. really do get my attention also!!
But to some here, if Ronald Reagan himself were to post on here, he would be considered a “Communist” by some of our more conservative posters. This does not anger me that much, as I just consider it a kind of sad commentary on the state of political debate that is going on in this country at this time!
