Yep. They serve the purpose of making the rest of look just like the Bible-thumping, NRA membership owning, middle-aged, right-wing extremist males the left stereotypes us as. I'm not sure if it's ALL deliberate but know some of it is. The rest are useful idiots, so basically the same thing.
"Bible-thumping, NRA membership owning, middle-aged, right-wing extremist males the left stereotypes us as."
Hey, what's wrong with being a Bible-thumping, NRA membership owning, middle-aged, right-wing extremist?
;^)
But point taken.
Are you aware that your words probably describe at least half of the FR membership? As for me, while I don't do bible-thumping I have no problem with those who strongly support and advocate religious principles; I am a life member of NRA; a bit past middle age; and I am definitely hard right rudder. I tend not to have much patience with big-tent RINO moderates, exemplified by the dolts that have hijacked the California Republican party.
Good to know what you think of us.
You have a problem with "Bible-thumping, NRA membership owning, middle-aged, right-wing extremist males"? Geez....maybe if I eat more granola bars it will make me more sensitive and compassionate.
I've "thumped" the bible on occasion...it has a great ring to it. It can be a very clear and pleasant tone...when "thumped" appropiately.
I own alot of guns...haven't counted them in a while. But, I'm not a member of the NRA.
Middle age is actually 35-38...but I know you probably mean 45-50....Well, I'm that too.
Lastly...I'm a pround member of the Vast Right-Wing..!!
So, you've pretty much nailed me....and I would suspect you've nailed a whole bunch of Freepers to boot.
FWIW-
