Just out of curiosity: Why is it that when female voters tend to vote Democratic the Republicans have a "gender gap problem," but when male voters tend to vote Republican (overwhelmingly, in the case of white males) nobody seems to think the Democrats have the same problem? You have embarrassed me. Why? Because I did not think of that myself. Excellent--you should have a column somewhere.

I get a letter from someone"Private Reply" is considered private, you generally shouldn't talk about the letters people send you in your public posts.

The thing I like most about the Taliban is that they have given everyone on the internet a break from calling each other Nazis. No kidding! That seems to be the insult of choice nowadays.

While FR does have a vocal libertarian wing, we're also the biggest Bush cheering section around. I suspect you probably know this.... but FR has always had a strong representation of libertarians, and has always had a strong contingent of republican party faithful... and they've always argued like cats and dogs over many issues.
And sometimes... they even agree about stuff.
That's part of the charm of the place.

In fact that is what your saying and your attempt to cover up your real answer is dishonest.

Unfortunately I've used it about 5 times today so I can't say TOO much about it.
To: Arkinsaw
Thanks for the clarification. I thought the thread needed a little levity, things seemed a little intense.

You have embarrassed me. Why? Because I did not think of that myself. Excellent--you should have a column somewhere.AC does raise a very good point--of course he knows the answer, it's the national news media bias (But why should Republicans take the advice of the news media!!), . I love AC's posts, they're always succint and right on target.

Personally, I find,
Poster 1: You guys are all correct.
Poster 2: I think you are right, poster 1...
Poster 3: I think you guys are both right
.....a little boring.........

It do make you go 'hmmmmm' don't it.

I would
hate for Big Brother--or anyone else--to tell me what I can or cannot look at. I intend to look at pornography or read
Ulysses or
Tropic of Cancer or whatever I jolly well choose. And I have looked at my share of pornography.
However, I also hate it when--as in Amsterdam--pictures of fallatio and sex organs and other pornographic images are publicly displayed so that I can't avoid seeing them. I particularly don't like it when my children are with me.
I can outcuss anybody. But I hate it when obscene words flow over the T.V. and my children hear them.
I don't want Big Brother telling me what to do.
But I do want want the option of avoiding things like this.
I don't know how to implement this. But it's what I want.
To: dirtboy
Well, yeah. You're right on that one.

Smoking pot is illegal so at best you are a law breaker. But what is worse is the fact that you SUPPORT drug dealers who I am certain DONT VOTE REPUBLICAN primarily, whatever that means, and are probably selling other narcotics or at least engaged in criminal activity that is much more destructive to society. Now, aren't you proud?Why, yes, I am proud to support my drug dealer. He takes the bigger risks that I can't afford to. In exchange for these risks, he is rewarded with a fat margin. Really. He has gobs of cash. And like most venture capitalists, he votes Republican 9 times out of 10.
:) Capitalism wins, even when it is outlawed.

I don't think that the government is doing a good job of this. Yes...they were derelict in their #1 priority as a Federal Gov. IMO we taxpayers dish out over $100 BILLION for national security. They failed us, and I blame Clinton administration the most.

To be honest with you, a political forum without significant dissent, is not only boring, but also will not long survive.
That is what draws people.
And that's why (IMHO) FR has been so successful.
Libertarians and Conservatives are the dominant political forces represented here.
They are just close enough in their fundamental philosophical advocacies to coexist without killing one another, and just far enough away in outlook to make for some lively discussion.
There are some who simply can't stand the idea that dissent is tolerated in ANY capacity, and so they bitch about it. But I think your observation is spot-on.
If people came here to say, "me too" all day long, the interest would wane quite quickly.

I think that you need to put down whatever it is that you are smoking and re-read my comments.
