Does being a liberal automatically get you banned here?

I'm the most liberal guy on the board and I haven't been banned!

I guess its all a matter of perspective!

Very much so. But I've been an Orwell fan (if there's such a thing) since I was a kid so it sort of jumped out at me. Ah, I just like wordplay.

Some advice my liberal friend:

1) Just assume that you're going to be temporarily banned if you serve some conservative admins their hat while debating an issue. It's not a true banning but more of a "I'm being soundly thumped here and need a way out so maybe everyone will forget if he 'goes away' for 24 hours" ban. Short of that, they may just "remove" you from a particular thread when they're wrong and you've proven them wrong for the umpteenth time. It's all good. You'll survive. Move on to the next thread and carry on with the liberal viewpoint. So far I have absolutely no indication they'll unfairly permanently ban you simply for having a liberal view point.

Proper translation: "If you consistently try to shout your way to a win, you're likely to get a time-out. In modern American society, children receive a 'time-out' for improper and disruptive behaviour. Likewise, childish behaviour around here will probably earn you a 'time-out.' If you are able to differentiate yourself from the 'librull' masses, you probably won't receive such a time-out as you will be mature enough to avoid being disruptive. "

Addendum: homo librullus Americanus is an off-shoot of homo sapiens wherein the genetic signatures related to cognitive ability have become so recessive as to become extremely rare. There are still liberal thinkers in h. sapiens, but their numbers seem to be declining as the recessive traits of 'librulls' take over a portion of the gene pool. I do wonder what Charles Darwin would say about survival of the fittest now?

2) They prefer the Alan Colmes type liberals here... you know, almost-Republican apologists. They'll bash you to no end and then whine like babies and then you might get banned for a short while and then you'll come back in a day or two and start over. Meanwhile, they'll have trashed the thread you're in with stuff like, "where'd you go chicken?"

Alan Colmes is a fool, but he's closer to mainstream America than most of the moonbats will ever get.

3) Prepare yourself for conservative hypocrisy out the yingyang. They'll cry and whine about black leaders calling Justice Thomas an 'Uncle Tom' and then call you a 'wigger' in the same thread. They'll watch someone post half a dozen conservative articles in rapid succession (with sources like neoconcontrolcenter.com) and say nothing, but as soon as you post three liberal viewpoint threads they'll accuse you of "running to DU." They'll say nothing when someone falsely accuses you of allying with the Westboro Baptist Church but then, in the very same thread, will scream like little children when you do the same to them. Just be ready for it. Sometimes I think I'm in mock-indignation++land

I can't speak to your allegations of racial hypocricy on this board because I haven't been here that long.

4) Be ready for a constant barrage of links to hooked-on-phonics, reading is fundamental and so forth because many conservatives seem to be unable to remember what they previously posted or are incapable of saying what they actually mean and have to revise and change their position five times. This is their defense mechanism... they can't articulate what they want to say, so YOU'RE stupid. Don't let your feelings be hurt. They don't mean to be so mean... their parents just didn't hug them enough. Try to be as understanding as possible.

If I go after you, it'll be for incorrect formation of logical propositions or failure to apply either deductive or inductive reasoning properly. I might also go after you for incorrectly citing a source which (when read) doesn't support the proposition you put forth. Librulls are quite prolific in citing sources, most of which are nothing more than op-ed (opinion editorial for the unwashed librull masses). Another common tactic for the librull is to cite 'scientific sources' which lack sufficient evidence to conclusively support their position, yet they somehow think that by repeating the same 'evidence' long enough and loudly enough, it will become fact. Sadly, they are mistaken.

5) They're really touchy about the rep points thing. It's kind of like a self-congratulatory circle jerk in that they run around patting each other on the back for sounding like Westboro Coulter. Sometimes you can give some love for an Alan "I'm Sorry" Colmes-type post. But, that's about it. My suggestion, just stay away from the repping thing. To some it's like their life to them. One guy even told me he was going to "hurt" me with the rep point thing... as if I cared.

Said ti before, and I'll say it again. Anyone posting simply to receive reputation points is here solely for their own aggrandizement.

But, as to your question... no, I don't think you're going to be permanently banned for having a liberal viewpoint. The conservatives don't like it when you stand up to them; but, I think we're done with watching liberals let conservatives trample all over us with their screachy, mealy-mouthed arguments.

Anytime you think you can bring a cogent argument, bring it on! If you bring an intelligent argument supported by facts (not just Known Facts(tm)) or by opinions which are cited as opinions rather than 'fact,' I'll be more than happy to discuss the issue with you. So far you haven't provided much more than librull tripe (that I've seen), but if you can raise your debates to an adult level, I'd be happy to engage you.

Oh he's talking about me. He went on and on about how he sympathizes with the black struggle..that when someone calls him black he is proud, etc.

While I consider it the highest form of flattery that you think I am Black... I'm about as white as they come. German and Irish in the blood. I value the discussions, reading and educating I've done to try and understand the trials Black Americans have faced and continue to face on a daily basis.

Black leaders have long proposed ways to enhance, change and fix this country. But, that doesn't make the news nearly as often as the rare times they call out a racist when they see one. You think conservatives have a hard time being heard in the press? Try being a Black leader.

To which I replied:

Why is this so interesting to you? Do you feel you missed your calling in life?

You are white but yet feel that someone thinking you are black is the HIGHEST form of flattery?

There is a word for this you know:

wigger-(n.) one who suffers from "ghettoitis", a disease that occurs mostly in caucasion high school/ college aged males (mostly from rich, white families and suburban homes having 2 or more expensive sports cars or SUVs), causing them to believe that they are african-american and from "the hood", and they they are "missundastood" and will "bust a cap in yo ass" if you "be playa hatin'", they feel driven to listen to rap music as an attempt to blend in with african-american society, sometimes even listening to other sufferers of ghettoitis (ex. eminem, vanilla ice) to feel an even stronger sense of belonging. there is no cure for this illness but it has many side effexts, such as tripping over ridiculously large pants and boots, wearing funny hats, and speaking ebonics, as well as annoying all of those around them.

Now, where I personally haven't seen you or know enough about you to decide if this definition is accurate, I do have to say that the last 9 words are pretty accurate.

He understood this as to be ME calling HIM a wigger. I just pointed out a word to him and in fact, stated in the last paragraph that I didn't know him well enough to decide if this word fit him...just that he was annoying everyone around him.

His reference to Hooked on Phonics is the perfect example of his Modus Operandi. Taking certain words and responding to those words. My post for example. He said I called him a Wigger.

I certainly don't see anywhere in that post where I said, "You are a wigger." In fact, I specifically said I don't know him well enough to know if that definition is accurate.

He missed that though. Guess it didn't help him further his agenda.

Brother GZ - Understand that your last post is NOWHERE near clear enough for asendorf to understand. You may try using shorter words?

Hi.

I just found this site on google that said it was America's premier message boards.

And I believe it is. Every single person who registers here to have their say will get that courtesy extended. Liberals & Conservatives alike are welcome here, as are the opposing points of view. Be conservative and post civilly and you will do fine here. Be conservative AND be an ass and you may not last. The EXACT same principles apply to liberals that join.

I noticed that over 99% of you are of the same politcal persuasion and was wondering if a liberal wouldn't be able to post here, so I just thought I'd test it out. There doesn't seem to be a single post here supporting any liberal person.

Wow, where did you get that statistic? I suggest you learn where the search button is and use it if you are sincere. You can test all you like but please post in proper forums. This forum is not for chatting about the board in general and it's perceived membership. You may want to repost in the regular chat section at the bottom of the board.

This is not a normal political message board. A normal political message board would be a debate between diverse groups, not a very narrow class of Americans. The Republicans in Congress don't even seem to be this one-sided. Call me crazy but you all seem to be stereotypes. What gives and will I be immediately banned?

Debate between any 2 groups is more than welcome here. I do believe you just sterotyped the entire board though, while in the midst of complaining about us supposedly stereotyping.

Thread closed. PM me if you have an issue.

Some advice my liberal friend:

Jason, now allow me to give you some friendly advice. I suggest being a bit less confrontational and leaving the petty arguments to PM's with a mod or myself. I don't want to see bickering on the board, other than honest debates. Of course, as stated in the rules, the occassional outburst will be accepted but please don't push it. PM me directly if you have issues instead of venting on the board.
