Guy is goofy He admits they don't know what they stand for , that the conservatives use studies to prove their point then remains a liberal
What am I missing

[GOPJ]

khangaskhan's liberal and smart, not that fake "attitude" smart, but really smart. How strange. Explains why they banned him?

. The point of Head Start, for example, isn't to perpetuate the Head Start program. The purpose is to provide an educational boost to underprivileged children. If the program doesn't work, then we need to change the program. If the other side points out that the program isn't working, then we should thank them. What vested interest do we Democrats have in a program that doesn't work? None.

[uncbob]

And the reason that we haven't been HONESTLY DEBATING THEM, is that we have lost touch with our Democratic roots. Ann Coulter isn't our problem, WE are our problem.

Of course this guy can't figure out the reason WE CAN'T HONESTLY DEBATE THEM is because we are wrong

[coloradan]

(I work with 90% liberals).

90% of rangers airborne are liberals?

[Cold Heat]

Parsy, I know that it infuriates you to realize the rats on that site cannot see your wisdom and shun you.

They call us nazi's and a lot of other adjectives (too numerous to mention), but they, in fact, do the things that they say that we do.

You now know that it is a lie. (Unfortunately they actually believe that lie)

We (republicans) do most of the things they say we are lacking. They (democrats)do most of the things that we are accused of.

Amazing how the politics of diversion and lies work.(but that is the definition of politics) Too bad the democrats are so buried in their own BS that they cannot see what is happening within.

At one time, they were a honest and worthwhile foe. Now they are liers, thieves, desperate and generally f'ked up. I really wish they would get their crap together. I hate to argue with a child.

Thanks for the post. Whether it is true or disinformation, it was an interesting read.

[parsifal]

I guess he/she/it was banned for saying something nice about Ann Coulter. Either that, or skinner or elad has a relative who works for Headstart.Maybe they are afraid brains are contagious. parsy.

[parsifal]

Oh, its true. You can search here on FR under the title and pull up the original thread. parsy.

[uncbob]

At one time, they were a honest and worthwhile foe

I dunno about that
I started getting interested in politics in 68 ( was a democrat because my father was )and it didn't take long to see that they were disonest corrupt and did just what Ann Coulter said they do.

I also remember reading that during Hoovers term at the beginning of the Great Depression he tried to pass some of the same type of legislation FDR later did to help get the economy moving and the democrats stifled it so they could win the WH

[Cold Heat]

BTW! Since only paid members can get in now, perhaps you can keep us abreast of activities. FReep mail me if something is up. (likely nothing will be of much interest) LOL!

[Billthedrill]

The liberals on that site are not interested in debate.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. It isn't a debate site, really, it's more like an extended therapy session. They're out of touch with the mainstream, dontcha know, proud individualists, noncomformists, and God help any one of them who deviates from the party line. Weird.

Kangaskhan would be more comfortable here at FR, frankly. He/she'd take some heat but would also be defended by conservatives not afraid of ideas. (Also, it's a great place to keep tabs on the ones we're gonna rub out when the Revolution comes, like parsy the toast over there...)

[RogueIsland]

The funny thing is, the author basically admits that the Conservatives have the facts, the intelligent debate, and the good reasoning, but he still thinks they are bad (presumably because they make him feel uncomfortable about his intellectual foundations) and prefers to adhere to his liberal beliefs.

No learning took place here, just a reassessment of tactics.

[parsifal]

No, it isn't like that. I never expect to be called "wise" and would prefer to be considered a fool. What irritated me over at DU was the way they slapped down any non-dem-establishment thought. A lot of polite freepers have been banned there for simply pointing out that Clinton is a piece of cr*p crooked liar. (And Bill is, too.) As a dem, I would like to be able to make constructive criticisms about my own party without excommunication. parsy the fool.

[Dec31,1999]

Gather your children. Your children are the sheeple who believe the Democrats and vote for them. Teach them lovingly and they will support you instead.

[For the Unborn]

I see that the libs are still dictating as usual. No sense in giving ordinary people the credit to think on their own.

[Badger1]

The difference between Liberals and Conservatives is that Liberalism is based on emotion and Conservatism is based on logic. This basic difference is manifested in how the two sides debate the issues. Liberals debate an issue emotionally, which means "Republican's motives are analyzed, his intelligence critiqued, his personal life unearthed." In other words, all emotional arguments. Conservatives, on the other hand, debate issues logically by citing facts, studies, data etc.

The problem for Liberals is that if they want to debate issues logically, they have to abandon their emotional attachment to the issues. But once Liberals abandon their emotional attachment to the issues and start to think about the issues logically, it will force them to logically assess their basic beliefs. This is the path most Liberals turned Conservatives have taken, which is why it is hard to find a Liberal that can debate issues logically instead of emotionally. Most Liberals who have made the transition from emotional arguments to logical arguments are already Conservatives.

interested in politics in 68

..Actually, it has been longer than that if you want to find the turning point. Try the 40s!

[parsifal]

I tried to get the dude's email address and I was going to invite him/her to FR to embarass *U, among other things, but I could not visit the *U profile page without jeopardizing my longtime secret identity over there. parsy.

[Reactionary]

I had roughly the same experience when I became a conservative. It wasn't an easy road.

I still remember the day that I decided to leave them forever. I was sitting with my newborn son watching CNN, and there was one of those typically bitter feminists talking about abortion in such a casual way that it made me physically ill. I could not reconcile my feelings as a father with what the party stood for, and it was at that moment that I understood how unfeeling and inhuman they really were. I could not go back.

[beckett]

The author is a confused young person whose heart is in the right place, but who, although he doesn't quite realize it, is only now learning how to think. The Left has depended upon such persons for foot soldiers ever since Rousseau.

Most eventually escape at some point or another, to one degree or another, and it looks like this writer is on the verge of his own getaway.
