It's all about emotion, with no thought of the consequences of these tantrums.
That is why they go against the very core of what is conservative. Thoughtful, idea-based dialogue about what is in the best interest of the country.
There is very little of that left here.
What I have lost faith in is the ability of this forum to be a force for good because of the emotional nonsense going on here.
We have been invaded. Something indeed is "up."
i wish he were a right wing extremist. if he were, he'd close the borders like 5yrs ago.
Al Gore should stick to promoting movies about Global Warming the same week that Scientists say that the Arctic used to be the Tropics!
If 50 million people voted for the "renegade extremist", what does that say about half of the voters in the US? Is it really possible to have 50 million "renegade extremists" in the US? A "renegade extremist" sounds like a pretty rare creature to me.
Don't forget to thank God for making him so darn cute!
I don't understand it except these so called conservatives are behaving as the parody the left makes of them. If they are in fact honest conservatives, then they have driven me from their ranks. I throw away their literature, I have turned off their radio shows.
Be careful of what you are doing. You aren't sinning against me by taking God's name in vain. You are sinning against HIM.
There is one goal alone here..........that is to drive a wedge between conservatives. Those holding the sledge hammers on this forum are NOT counted among us.
OOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
When I distance myself from the nonsense, I see another conservative split tent in operation. I've been engaged in fighting the illegal immigrant movement since the early 90s. I'm informed. So, I mostly just pass on by those posts put forward by the recently engaged. (But I do study their Bush Bashing techniques and tag-teaming).
There are times, OhioWFan, that I know that what I'm seeing are those "newly awakened" to politics. Where they might have previously been uninformed or yes, even "moderates".
The thing about the "illegal immigrant" as a starting point is, it encourages one to open doors into all kinds of other side issues relevant to politics and elections.
On these boards, it's kinda like observing a Maginot Line in operation.
And in order for that Maginot Line to continue forward, often those with the belly of fire, cannot countenance more reasonable voices, or rather "seasoned" ones.
And the longer I have witnessed the unnecessary "Bush bashing" the more I have observed the fruits of aversion therapy: Folks will agree with President Bush to spite the "Bush Bashers".
Ach, well, and as you have no doubts observed, the "immigrant maginot line-rs" will ultimately meet up with the sleeper "pro-open borders posters" and will thereby have to make decisions, themselves.
Yes, something is definitely "up".
Thanks for your input as more food for thought as I work through my analysis and understanding of what is afoot....
