Damn Conservatives

[Buckeyefan 1]

Am I right in assuming a far right winged conservative = Bush, and further pushing the envelope = Nazism, and further = Arian beliefs? How do skinheads and radical republicans differ? Are they really that far off?

 

[AverageJoe]

Damn liberals?

I suppose just as right as I am in assuming a far left winged liberal = Barbara Boxer, and further pushing the envelope = communism, and further = Marxist beliefs? How do socialists and radical democrats differ? Are they really that far off?

Are you trying to make another giant thread!? The best I could come up with was the Beer thread, and its size is due to the whine talk. I didn't need that so I stop helping it along.

If you didn't already know, I'm a left of center guy. Not far left, about a cm, but enough to be insulted by red necks and gun totting homophobes.

Ya I said it.

I guess you're too young to know the real message of the 1960's...namely that NO politician is to be trusted.

I will start by saying that this thread is stupid. It is a broad brush stroke that will never come to anything good and both sides should let it die.

Now lets all get our facts straight. That "Paul Harvey story" is a fake. He never wrote or aired it.

Lets play a game. We will go out on the town all dressed up nice. I will wear a nice big red shirt with the hammer and sickle. You will wear a nice big Swastika on your chest. You game??

Call me a Pinko( I am not offended by that) our country could use a some pretty pink edges.

Personally, I think both conservatives and liberals should be taken out and shot.

The problem with being so lax on the steam vent is that it makes people feel untouchable. Don't be a troll.
