I find them bizarre because they're not based on any facts as we know them - they're just pulled out of some conspiracy theorist handbook, designed to cast doubt on your mortal enemy, George W. Bush.
Take a run over to the Democratic Underground and see what some of those crackpots are spewing. When they're not ranting about Liberia or Saudi Arabia, they're talking about how George Bush hired someone to try to kill the Dixie Chicks..
Just got back from the DU - they're talking about how horrible Charles Taylor is and how bad life in Liberia is. However we all know darn good and well that if Bush sent troops to take care of the situation, these exact same people would be shaving their heads, keening and protesting, demanding Bush be impeached. How we know this is because that's what happened with Iraq.

Pretty sad how we have become a society where everything is just so black and white for people in each political party. I suppose people these days are so busy with their day-to-day routines that they need a system to tell them what to think about every topic. And to make sure we don't get confused, they try to lump similar situations into one category and blanket it them with the same notions and resolutions.
But I think this is where the notion of a 10oz bud tasting different. It is the redneck way to bust away from this "control" and be a rebel
SO Vrai, no. We have no idea what people will do if Bush sends in troops (beyond the "peacekeepers" we have already sent). Trying to assume people's reactions to any certain event can get you into trouble, even if you feel the events are similar. We miscalculated the world view on attacking iraq based on the support we had back during desert storm (we're talking major players, not third world countries in africa).
So Vrai, you , and everyone else who spews this crap, needs to quit trying to assume the "opposition's" reaction to every single event and put forth more energy behind the things you feel are right.

These issues have nothing with fences. Like I have said before, I look at each situation by itself and make my decision. I personally am both pro choice and pro death penalty. I would hate to be a member of either party and be ridiculed because I believe strongly in one of those two things.
I always love your little redneck "chicksh!t comments" you tend to make when people don't side with you... I just picture you standing there saying "You might be smart, but can you kick my a$$???"
Yeah, and I picture you straddling the fence looking to see who is watching you before you commit to a stand. You probably wear pink shirts too and have extreme wrist flex syndrome. Also I don't think of you as smart, maybe smart@ss but certainly not smart. BTW, I probably can kick your @ss, but I know you are too much of a p#ssy to try it out.Originally posted by SmallTown

Considering the number of times I have went head to head with people on here, I don't see where anyone could fathom the idea that I straddle the fence. Try again.
As for the intelligence comments and kicking a@@, I would expect someone like you to come up with comments like that. Thanks for supporting the notion.
You are so full of it! Yes, we DO know - we know because that's what the Democrats have done with EVERY Republican President, regardless of the situation. They don't make a peep when Clinton sends a missile and blows a hole in a Baghdad street - they say, "We shouldn't be talking impeachment when our troops are in harm's way." But you let some Republican dismantle an oppressive and brutal regime and suddenly 16 words in the SoU become a major deal.
You're such a product of your liberal media, I swear.
And you bust on us about Fox! What did you think before Judy Woodruff and Dan Rather told you what to think?
You're so full of sh!t your eyes have to be brown. You spend more time on the fence then crows and other dung eating animals.
As to comments about your lacking intellect and guts, I was only responding to your words. You like to start sh!t and then run and hide, you even had to move to Virginia because we were getting close to identifying who you really are (even though you claim it is because we have no Pottery Barn). Why don't you just go away since you have already left. Drag your sorry @ss back to that corner of Virginia that you come from and fade away with the other hillbilly inbreds that you represent.

Name calling
Name calling may release a lot of tension, but it doesn't produce any fact finding. Another way to view ST's position is that he is a moderate who doesn't side with either camp.

Couldn't agree with you more about the name-calling - it's what people resort to when they have nothing intelligent to say *ahem*.
But you're wrong about ST - he's actually our pot stirrer. His function is to disagree with whatever the prevailing opinion is so that we have to actually think and defend our positions. When he gets backed against a wall, he comes out swinging with some nonsense, which incites Ken to violence and name-calling. Stay on long enough and you'll begin to see a pattern...

Not a pot stirrer. Like i've said before, there are many topics I agree with you on here, but going by the numbers you really don't need yet another person patting you on the back saying you're right.
The people on here really aren't a true sample of conservatives. coming from a line where I don't believe a single person is a liberal (or maybe they just felt outnumbered and didn't say anything?), I can say the "blanket term" of "conservative" is a little skewed here. Sure, we have some major hard core conservatives, but for the most part we are pretty moderate Most of us fall in line around powell in terms of political beliefs (talking about the family. I haven't seen enough different platforms being discussed on here to know where you guys fall).
As for Ken... He is a trip. I guess on his resume he can now put down "Ran SmallTown out of Southern Maryland"
I disagree (because that's what I do - disagree with you
). I consider myself pretty conservative. Bush is justthisside of a liberal and I'm much more of a right-winger than he is. Yet the Democrats label Bush as a right-wing extremist, which I find amusing. Christy labels herself as an extreme rightie, but she's very socially liberal. It's all in your perspective.Every single day we get spoon-fed liberal ideology in our mainstream media. How the Washington Post can claim to be independent is beyond me, since every editorial, every political cartoon and the vast majority of the letters they print support the liberal agenda. Same with CNN. It doesn't take a genius to see this stuff.
Yet someone like JLab or even you looks at that and thinks it the truth, not partisan or politically leaning, because it supports your own opinion. Same with me and Fox. Fox might be some bastion of conservatism but I wouldn't recognize that - to me, they're just reporting the truth.
Again, perspective.
You must really think that you are something, at least in your little amoebic mind, trust me I would like nothing better to discover that you have finally left us alone. I won't hold my breath though because that would be so out of character for a coward such as you. I also do not need any BS on my resume, unlike you I have skills that are both valued and in short supply. You are such aOriginally posted by SmallTown

Ken, for God's sake! Get back on your meds! Why would we want a lockstep opinion forum? Nobody ever wants to argue with me except JLab, ST and a few others - even Maynard ditched us. It gets incredibly boring in here with all of us contributing nothing more than
. Yawn yawn yawn.You can have a decent discussion without resorting to flaming. I know you can, I've seen you do it.
You guys, start a new thread to duke it out in.
