UH, WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?
BWAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAA! FOOLS!
The conversation degenerated when alanb17 stated:
"...our present (unelected) president..."
"We used to think that Mr Clinton set the standard for presidential lying; but Mr Bush is _much_ worse."
"He has tripled the threat of terrorism"
"He "defends the environment", but he lets us drink arsenic and breath mercury"
Do you agree with these statements as facts...yes or no?
So, let's see...you have been on FR for one week...we have been here for almost 8 years (6 years for me)...are you suggesting we don't have well referenced debates here?
What is your reference for saying that. I have mine...
Wrong again!
-Show me the profanity
-Show me the violence
-Show me racism
The replies were very respectful...the humor of the photos was superb...but then again, I guess liberals are generally too angry to appreciate humor, or too disrespectful of different views to appreciate diversity...
I am suggesting that I haven't seen a well-referenced debate over this particular topic, although I did think that sboyd made several interesting points on which I hope he will elaborate if he is still visiting this board.

I would actually be curious to know Alan17b's supporting arguments and sources for these assertions...

Take a look at the final statement of your 12/6 post.
-Show me the violence
Surface-to-air missiles are not violent? (I'll overlook the stun guns :-) )

I would be curious to know just exactly what you think a liberal is. You seem to be implying that I am a liberal and that by some definition of "liberal" that I am angry and/or disrespectful. All I have done is to try to defend (very politely) an individual who, when seeming to attempt to engage in thoughtful, albeit controversial dialogue, has been treated as if he has done nothing more than, well...take a look at the final statement of your 12/6 post...
2. I had several posts on 12/6 and there were no profanity...unless you count "poop".
3. Photos are not violent. They are used here to have a good laugh in many ways. Don't like it...? Easy solution, I'll let you figure that out.
By default, if YOU cannot vehemently deny the first salvo fired by alan17b about an unelected president, you should be totally ignored. I have been very generous in giving you a platform...this is your last chance.
Answer questions or go home.
Don't we all show up uninvited?
Don't 'pass the buck' to another poster, which for all we know, may be YOU!
Are you saying that Alan17b is no longer available for comment? If you think that I am Alan17b, I thank you for the compliment, but I am simply a student. My aim has been to obtain an education about what it means to be a conservative. I have learned much.

Wow! I thought I had logged onto a conservative site. Have I somehow been forwarded to a fascist one?
