The problem with the Republican party?

[LouAvul]

My local gun board is infested with libertarians and democRATs. The Rats were gloating about O'Dumdum's re-election, etc. Prior to the election they were insisting O'Bummer wouldn't make any moves to restrict gun rights, ownership, etc.

Now they've got egg on their faces, and one of them announced he's converting to the Republican party, solely on the basis of gun rights. But he continues to be a liberal on all other issues. Numerous posters chimed in that they did the same, etc, and are working to change the Republican party from within. They want to make us "socially relevant."

Absolutely sickening

You need to label your nonsense Vanity - fool.

"My local gun board is infested with libertarians..."

"infested with libertarians" ?!? I dare say that MOST local gun boards would be GREATLY IMPROVED if they were "infested with libertarians"...

Try reading this, and then revisit your slur, sir: Libertarian Position on Gun Rights

[Responsibility2nd]

I’m just wondering WTH a “local gun board” is?

Is this an elected office? A neighboard group?

[LouAvul]

Ah yes. A libertarian’s response. And you wonder why we don’t like you. Well, part of the reason, anyway. ;)

[LouAvul]

Nonsense. Black panthers and white supremacists also champion gun rights. Doesn’t mean we have anything in common.

[DManA]

It is a simple courtesy to put Vanity in the header when you flap your ignorant gums.

But I don’t imagine you spend too much time worrying about courtesy. ;)

better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt..

libertarians do not believe in gun control, period..

[LouAvul]

GREATLY IMPROVED if they were "infested with libertarians"...

BTW, civilization would be greatly improved if we were rid of you people. Open borders. Vending machine dope (right next to the bubble gum). Continued torture and slaughter of 1.5 million annually, unborn children. Faggot equal rights, etc.

No thanks. Give a social undesirable a gun and you have, well, a social undesirable with a gun.

[bmwcyle]

There is no Republican Party any more.

[LouAvul]

And only a fool could miss the reason I posted this thread. It's not about gun rights. It's about you and your ilk coming into the Republican party and contaminating us with your abortion rights, dope, open borders, etc.

How can you people be so obtuse?

[DManA]

So angry. So stupid.

"...Black panthers and white supremacists also champion gun rights. Doesn’t mean we have anything in common..."

To "have something in common" means to share some goal, have a characteristic or property in common, etc.

Your post seemed to be SPECIFICALLY about "Gun Rights".

Your statement that your local gun board was "infested with Libertarians" implied that was an impediment to exercising your 2nd Amendment rights. I posted the relevant position of the LP regarding guns. Your assertion that having LP members on the board restricts your 2nd Amendment rights is not correct.

If you are a strong 2A supporter, then you have that in common with the Libertarian Party.

If you READ more of their platform positions, I would bet you have even more policy postions in common.

I would ALSO bet that if you READ the Republican Party platform positions, you would find many there that you would DISAGREE WITH.

Unless you are the head of your own political party, with a membership of ONE, then NO single political party will EXACTLY match your views on everything.

[joe fonebone]

I see you are angry..

allow me to try reason..

are all republicans conservative??

the obvious answer is no..

are all libertarians ron paul nut jobs??

the answer is no..

this libertarian (small l libertarian) is against abortion, against open borders, but is also against the war on drugs, not because of the drugs themselves, but because of the police actions and slow erosion of personal rights that has come with it..

now what do you have to say, sir?

[SwankyC]

Open borders. Vending machine dope (right next to the bubble gum). Continued torture and slaughter of 1.5 million annually, unborn children. Faggot equal rights, etc.

LOL, You're correct, you dont have much in common with Libertarians. You have much more in common with democrats and you're just as stupid and dangerous as they are.

"wondering WTH a “local gun board” is?"

Depending upon where you live in the country, some cities, counties, etc have "commissions" or "boards" that review and either grant or deny gun purchase or carry permits.

I think that they are usually appointed by heads of local law enforcement, like the Sheriff, but that may vary from region to region.

[ex-snook]

Sorry, a trouble with the GOP is people making up sophomoric names and think that takes the place of serious ideas.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Given that he mentions posters, I’m guessing it’s an online forum.

[Rebel_Ace]

Here you are posting a thread about your "gun rights", you clearly want access to firearms, and when someone engages you in respectful and thoughtful conversation, your reply is, and I quote:

"BTW, civilization would be greatly improved if we were rid of you people."

Did I threaten you? Have I called you names (such as "social undesirable")?

I sense that if your local gun board is giving you grief, it might be for reasons other than being a Libertarian or Democrat...

[SwankyC]

Amen Brother.

To be libertarian as opposed to Republican is to be a critical thinker as far as I'm concerned.

I have yet to see evidence that the Republican party is the party of small govt. There's far more evidence that they're just as totalitarian as democrats, just in somewhat different ways.
