This place is a joke - Merged with AIRING OUT GRIEVANCES

[CSM]

Very nice post, you presented a very objective veiw of things...if I could give rep points I would hand some over to you. (though it looks like you have quite a few as it is).

The whole Lib vs. Con thing is often inaccurate anyway. I find that even the staunchest conservative has what could be considered liberal views in some areas and vice versa. It truly is a matter of perspective. For some on the far right, I am sure I look like a liberal lefty. On the other hand I can only imagine what I look like to a leftist!

Then there is the view I have of myself. With all those perspectives, its no wonder we get confused around here!

I find it both amusing and fitting that this very thread only illicits and encourages the precise behavior maxpower so vocally (and charitably) detests.

It does?

:rotflmao: Never!! You know I think you're cool!

Actually, from what I've seen, you lean right but are generally reasonable...you just call 'em as you see 'em.

I'm really a closet lib. I might as well admit it, since we're owning up to things.



That IS what we're doing, right?

Really? I think most of the posts have been reasonable...

I promise I won't tell.

I think we all also have our hot button issues. Some people are also just more genteel by nature.

Apologies. Unclear.

These types of threads are a rallying point for everyone to get together, pile on, rep each other up, and generally continue the exact kind of stuff that drives the thread starter nuts. That's not to condemn it, but rather just that I always find it amusing when someone comes on to complain about something and only ends up making what they didn't like increase.

I wasn't trying to be thread-specific, although my post certainly seems that way. Hope that clarifies...

AHA!!!!

This was really a test ... to find the closet libs on this board so we conservatives could gang up on them and run them off the board! Go ahead, post something liberal and see how long you last!

True enough and of course, some people are just one big button that simply screams "PUSH ME!" I find those extremely hard to resist...

Never said anyone was being unreasonable. Well maybe Max, if he thought starting this thread would actually accomplish anything he thought of as resolving the issue.

Understood. It often does turn out that way doesn't it. I cannot help but wonder sometimes if that is not the intent anyway.

Of course it is! The danger is forgetting when to take other posters seriously.

That's incorrect.

Let me rephrase that. You feel 9/11 was engineered by our government. You may or may not feel that Bush personally engineered it.

That's incorrect.

Again speculative on my part but im going by what you give me in your posts about 9/11 "coincidences" and Bush's setting up puppet regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think you'd fit in fine over at DU. ITs not a "Democratic Party" site. ITs a left-wing cook site that holds many of the ideals you do.

Again, trying to paint a very inaccurate picture of me, not based on reality.

Just working with what you give me.

So, I'm correct, you were exagerating.

No, I simply am open to the possibility of it. You must admit that those are some strange coincidences, no?
Perhaps you think closed-mindedness is a virtue, I do not.

Uh huh, pure speculation. In other words,

Thank you, , for demonstrating my point.

The irony, of course, is that I'm a staunch fiscal conservative. Try reading a few of my posts in the Economy forum. You're far more of a socialist than I am.

But, you'd rather label anyone that disagrees with you as a "liberal," a "liar," and a socialist, who wants to destroy America... based on absolutely nothing.

What am I socialist about? Wanting trade embargos against china? That's not socialism, it's sanity.

Please continue this thread in one other half-dozen 'this board is unfair to libs' threads.

Well, since you're the one who first insinuated that I was socialist, why don't you tell me how I'm a socialist?
