Actually, you’re exactly right KPG, it is my first time. I only stumbled onto this through a Google search. I have no idea about the practices involved in these things, since as a conservative, I’m gainfully employed and never have time to sit and chat about the evils of America, Bush, the military, marriage, family, work, or anything for that matter. Sorry for intruding.

Joe, I work 55 hours a week, I think of that as gainfully employed. I’m married, so I spend time with my wife. I also write during my free time, I’m about halfway through a novel now.

I still find time to sit and chat. (and occasionally flirt with Sadie.) It’s not that hard, really.

By the way, there are a few conservatives here, just look around. I’m conservative myself on many issues. Nobody would have attacked you had you stepped into a thread and voiced a rational opinion. You may even have ended up in a decent and civilized debate. Instead you popped in with:

It’s too bad all you bunch of lefty morons wouldn’t move to Canada, so we superior conservatives can live in peace without your treason destroying our wonderful nation!

Which basically means you’re a fucking git.

Joe: It’s too bad all you bunch of lefty morons wouldn’t move to Canada, so we superior conservatives can live in peace without your treason destroying our wonderful nation!

Man, trolls aren’t what they used to be, huh? Shame, really.

Joe: … since as a conservative, I’m gainfully employed

So, only conservatives work. Interesting.
Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives. (John Stuart Mill - 1806>1873)

Joe: ... never have time to sit and chat about the evils of America, Bush, the military, marriage, family, work, or anything for that matter.

I noticed you missed using the word ‘think’. SNAFU.

As a liberal, I haven’t moved to Canada for the following reasons:

1. I love it here in California.

2. It’s my country too, and I’m not leaving.

3. The political pendulum will change again.

4. Anything that pisses off people like Joe can’t be all bad. Since apparently our very existence works Joe into a tizzy, I think I’ll just stay put.

Hello,

I’m new here. But I think I am in love with Les. At least I am in love with his comments in this forum. I have these things to say:

1. For the record, I hate Ann Coulter. I hate her as much as I hate the Republican party, Confederate flags, the KKK, Hitler, and anyone/thing else who feels that they are intellectually and morally superior to “the rest of us.” Coulter’s viscious, vitriolic, verbal vomit is the type of hate speech that creates further dissention between intelligent adults of differing political parties. It’s a pathetic attempt to distract non-right wing, batshit crazy people away from the manifestly insane actions of the people currently “in charge” of our government. Bush tried to do the same thing with the Gay Marriage Ban amendment.

2. Al Franken had it right when he titled two consecutive chapters in his book Lying Liars... “Ann Coulter: Nutcase,” & “You Know Who I Don’t Like? Ann Coulter.” He also had it right with the title of his book Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot. Al Franken is an incredibly smart man, who actually checks his facts before he puts them into print. He has become one of my heroes because he is able to say the things that the right wing media (yes, I said right wing media) has not given us “lefties” the opportunity to say without constantly interrupting us and invoking the name of God or Reagan or some other Republican deity.

3. I am still having trouble believing that Clinton was impeached for getting a hummer in the White House (surely a private issue between he and his wife), but Bush is able to get away with lying and lying and lying about things that have caused the death of thousands of innocent people, including over 2000 members of our military. Oh, and that he can invoke the memory of 9/11 when it suits his purposes (like the reason why he has a right to secretly wiretap citizens, or in every other sentence of his “debate” arguments), yet people who lost loved ones in 9/11 apparently should never, ever be allowed to voice their political beliefs lest they be called “broads” accused of enjoying their loved ones deaths? Let me just say again, that I really hate Ann Coulter.

4. Sexy Sadie is exactly right. It is my country too, and how dare anyone suggest that if I am unhappy with the way the government is being run, I should leave? So the Founding Fathers didn’t know what the hell they were talking about when they assured ALL of us we would have the rights to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the freedom to petition the government for a redress of grievances? Gee, they made it the very first thing in the Bill of Rights. Maybe they got it wrong? I am staying here, in MY country, and till the end of my days, I will be heard and seen and sign petitions with reckless abandon, if they attempt to redress my grievances.

5. I think swearing is fan-fucking-tastic for when I feel like empha-fucking-sizing my point. It doesn’t make me any less intelli-fucking-gent. It just under-fucking-lines that I am upset about something stupid a right wing dumbass did. Or it means that I watched 30 seconds of O’Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Bush, Rice, etc...

6. At least I don’t smile like an idiot and appear feeble-minded in my mug shot (DeLay, Limbaugh). Oh wait...I don’t HAVE a mugshot!

7. I feel the winds of change blowing. The presidential approval rate, or should I say disapproval rate indicates that, as Dylan once said, the times, they are a-changin’. Watch out all you right wing wind bags. The People are fed up.

That’s all, for now, I suppose. I feel better having vented a little. It’s time for me to do my volunteer reading for little kids at the library. Yes, I volunteer. Republicans can go to http://www.dictionary.com if they are not sure what that word means.

Thank you in advance for listening to me.

Hey Joe, I feel sorry for you, you are so put upon in the States.  I’m glad here I don’t have to suffer a bunch of left wing liberals trying to force the president to keep the left wing liberal constitution, what with it’s freedom of speech and all men being born equal.  The sooner Bush flexes the Neo-Con new world order, and gets rid of this out of date liberal rubbish which is slowing the world free capalist state, the better.

Welcome, SeminoliaPilchard!  I have a hunch you’ll like it here.

Thank you Decrepit! I do feel right at home. I mean...left at home. Horrible, I know.

I have yet to find a liberal who doesn’t take umbrage at having their point of view rejected or challenged.

If I as an Afro-Cuban(not a new word been out for at yeast 50 years) were to speak my conservative mind , I would have the wrath of the liberal world set upon me. But since I don’t give a dam as to what people may think about me, I speak it anyway and If I disagree with their point of view, I say it anyway.

The reason why I adopted a conservative philosophy is because I have found that conservatism not only works, but is more open to different points if view and I have found that conservatives do a much better job of listening to intelligent arguments whether they agree with them or not.

Ann Coulter says exactly what I and many other people think.

I for one am fed up with the political stature these “victims” have. They had money before 9/11 and they have a lot more now.

What about the black kids that were one the airplanes? I guess they don’t count do they?

Typical

liberal who doesn’t take umbrage at having their point of view rejected or challenged

As opposed to all those cons who only too willing to say ‘Yes, you have valid point there’.  We can tell that by the hate filled bile you get when you disagree with them.  I’ve seen enough of John Boulton sneering at those who don’t agree with the US to last me a life time thanks.

conservatism not only works

Like segregation.
