So I notice a lot of you are.... extreme.

[Dragon]

It's not that there are NO liberals on this forum. It's that:

1) A disproportionate number of the members are conservative; and

2) A disproportionate number of the conservative members are reality-denying true-believer cultist nut jobs.

Nevertheless, there are exceptions. I advise patience and fortitude.

I am a fiscally conservative liberal.

there are a few very left and several in liberals who are more like true independents.
Not the embaressed ex Bush supporters who call themselves independent. We have some of those as well.

The thing is with the vocal strength of the right wingnuts.
They think they can outshout reason.

I am a fiscally conservative liberal.

There is no such thing.....

Sure there is. It is one of many flavors of ***Independent***. Can't you brainwashed SOBs ever get that through F'n neanderthal skulls?

I am just basing this off of what I've seen. Trust me, I'm a moderate. Obviously, not all of you are extremists, but it is concerning there are so many of them on here.

Two days of what you've seen?
Jump to conclusions much?

Well there's the members, and there's also a lot of GOP campaign/anti-Obama ads on this site. If that's mostly what I've seen, I think it's reasonable to assume at that point that this sight leans to the right. Maybe it doesn't, but I had enough reason to believe it.

You got a problem with that?

It's funny how you confuse your fantasies with reality.

Read up on the JBS. Compare your views. Get back to me on it.

The John Birch Society - John Birch Society

You say "Jump!", I say, "Fuck off, moron!"

Have it your way.

But the reality is that the people describing themselves as conservative are not necessarily what you call conservative.

Haven't you ever wondered why your dream candidates can't even get the nomination?

Yeah, that.

 

[daveman]

Ahh "Self Professed conservatives" is the key part of that statement.

And there it is: A liberal insisting he knows more about complete strangers than they know themselves.

Ahh I know a lot of "independents" here in KY.
We did elect Palin last time after all

And we re-elected Beshear a couple days ago.

Did you really think you had a point?

"Disproportionate"?

And here's somebody else who wants an echo chamber.

 

[jillian]

the board used to be pretty balanced.

it's leans pretty far right now.... and the radical right posters post A LOT of threads.

 

[Charles_Main]

...At least a little.

I hear a lot of you like to generalize all liberals as being the same. Some of you say that they are liars; they are lazy; they are socialists that are ruining the country, etc. Come on, really? ALL liberals are lazy hippies and socialist pigs? Do you even know any liberals personally? Seeing a piece about them on Fox News doesn't count.

Isn't that the problem with politics today? They have become so polarized. Do you know how to get the truth behind political issues? It's by thinking crtically. You look at both the conservative and the liberal POV, and decide who is right.

Don't watch Fox News or MSNBC... or better yet, watch them both!

I'd give liberals the same speech, but there doesn't appear to be any on this forum

I don't know. I have been Lumped in with Extremist over this issue or that on here, but Over all I am not at all an Extremist. I consider myself pretty moderate actually.

 

[Amelia]

Celebrating change for the sake of change is like celebrating growing an extra toe.

If you want to experiment with extra appendages regardless of their practicality, liberalism is right for you.

If you want to make sensible changes in a sensible manner, you're probably a conservative.


Well, at least a moderate. ;-)

Conservatives out number leftist liberals in America too. I think the board is a good representation and cross section of America.

And yet ANOTHER liberal who claims to know more about people than they do themselves.

Who are my dream candidates?

LOL probably about half those so called Radical Right posters are actually asshole Lefties trying to reenforce Stereotypes.

Yeah I know, you will say Bullshit but deep down you know it's true.

 

[SAT]

Yes, disproportionate. Message boards often have a disproportionate number of right wing extremists.

Their dream candidates, folks like Ron Paul, do not get many votes, and they cannot understand why.

actually, i'm still waiting for you to post something that isn't false.

you do realize that the responses to this thread prove my point, right?

 

[Dragon]

And here's somebody else who wants an echo chamber.

If everyone here was liberal, that would also be disproportionate.

If everyone here was intelligent and rational, that would be disproportionate, too.

Not sure which of those you meant. Either one could be considered an "echo chamber" from my perspective.

That may actually true of some. I have deep suspicions about Brutus, for example. I doubt it's true of as many as half, though.

Ok, you get rep for that.
