Trash Conservatives | Arthritis Information

 

oops.  Sorry Lorster, you already had this thread going. Didn't you know liberals are supposed to have "open minds"??  Guess not.

CAN'T YOU PEOPLE STOP THE BLOODY SNIPING.  THIS IS AN ARTHRITIS BOARD NOT A POLICTICAL BOARD.  AGREE TO DISAGREE AND MOVE YOUR "DISCUSSIONS" SOMEPLACE ELSE

 

Pot: YOU'RE BLACK!!!

Kettle: *stares in confusion*

buckeye......Stop reading OT if you have a problem

Is this the conservative thread that the libs on the other thread spoke of?

 

Have no idea.  Lorster didn't want anyone with an opposing viewpoint on her thread, so I quit reading it.

 

Buckeye, be quiet, this is entertaining...all this fighting with no threat of blood shed...[QUOTE=moana]

 I'm getting my popcorn and soda ready as we speak

[/QUOTE]

Flag me down when a little conservative talk gets started will ya?  

You know if everyone is going to start fighting and insulting again I am going to send Marvin down he'll make sure you all behave!!!!

Did you originally title this thread "conservative corner" and change the name?  Can we do that?  Change the name of a thread?

Pip

You can edit the title of a post if you started it. When you edit, it lets you clear out the title or whatever you want to do. But no, it doesn't say that Link edited this thread, so she did not rename it.No, I didn't change it.  Okay, okay.  It was kinda snotty.  But when someone starts a thread that essentially says...leave us alone while we bash you, please don't interrupt us by defending your character or posistion.....it's a little outrageous.  And that from one who's political affiliation prides themselves on open mindedness and free speech!

Well, I really didn't think she meant it that way.  I looked at it as a 'let's seperate the liberals and the conservatives and then we're not fighting."  Liberals can discuss the liberal agenda; cons the opposite.  And I figured anybody can post anywhere as long as there was no twisting words or name calling.  That seemed fair to me.

What's confusing to me is I swear I saw a "Conservative Corner" post that I thought Blessed made - now there is a "conservative corner" thread that says 'this is what I had' or something similar.  So...what happened to the original thread.

My head hurts with all this tech!

Pip

LOL Pip. Blessed DID start one, but then she took it down. So she re-started it.

I never saw that thread.  I didn't restart anything.  I started it.

edited to add:  I just saw Blessed's thread, so nevermind what I just said.

Linncn39388.849537037But if you look at the second post in Lorster's thread, it is all about bashing conservatives.  I mean, maybe that's all that the liberal agenda entails, and in that case Lorster would have nothing else to say but that, but really.  I thought you guys had more to say than "conservatives are really bad people".  I could be wrong about that.

I do find it funny that the post talks about 1.5 million Google hits for the phrase "republican corruption"... I got 2.28 million hits for "democrat corruption".

And what does that prove, anyway?

Absolutely nothing.

Yes, I see what you mean about Lori's 2nd post.  But from a liberal point of view, that's what we see.  When 6t5 posts the 'pledge' post - we see 'part of the story'.  I am assuming that's what conservatives say about liberal posts.

The problem is when we start discussions on these topics we just get to the point of arguing and name calling which serves no real function.  Nobody is going to covert the other side; if it happens it's probably 'urban legend' stuff.

So, if we keep the 'political' stuff in the appropriate thread - the liberals discussing their stuff with no flack, the cons discussing their stuff with no flack, then the independents can hang in both threads and learn and make a decision. 

I'm just trying to figure out a way everybody can do their thing with minimal arguements and rancor.  We've really managed to pull together as a board.  Let's not let a year of pre-election madness stop that.

Hugs,

Pip

PS - thanks for the info on the "conservative corner' thread.  LOL  I thought I was imagining stuff!

Pip

I'm not promoting fighting amongst us. I guess the timing of Lorster's thread, combined with the opening and then the follow thru is a bit shameless. She's hardly subtle in who she's taking aim at, ya know? 

I know you're not.  I'm just trying to come up with a way that everybody can be happy and discuss the subject near and dear to their hearts that the rest of the board can live with for the next year!

I figure the cons can discuss on their thread, the libs in their thread, and the independents can go between and make a decision.  And the newbies aren't freaked out!

LOL

Pip

Linncn. I was not taking aim at anyone. It is a liberal thread. Everything is
fair game. The writing was on the wall with that 2nd post. I was pointing
out to my liberal friends on the corruption. That was only page one, page
two is still to come. If anyone wants to see glaring examples of corrupt liberals, look no farther than Illinois... especially Chicago machine politics and Springfield (our over-the-top inept state capitol).   I'm an independent so I'll be lurking at both threads but I have to say that the liberal thread seemed really nasty toward the conservatives, so much so that I stopped reading.  I was hoping to "hear" intelligent coversation from both camps to help me make a good decision come election day, but........

Jesse -

I think that's the point, in the long term.  :-)

We just need to get going on the discussions and stop on the nasty stuff.

The first part was separating the warring factions.

Pip

I think that the real difference between republicans and demacrats is the way they address corruption in their ranks. The pubs seem to address the corruption and demand action especially if it is in their rank and the dems just try to cover up and make excuses. As can be seen on the "liberal" thread, they bring up only corruption of the pubs and don't even mention the corrupt dems. Justsaynoe more jefferson. They won't even address the issues. The dems want to have all evidence that was seized from the search warrant on Jefferson's office thrown out, saying that the congressional office is safe from search warrants. Where Ms. Polossi demands the heads of any republican even thot to be dirty, she takes a he's innocent until proven guilty with Jefferson. Now me, I say put Noe in jail and put Jefferson in jail. These people that are loyal no matter what the person does because of the political side, need to rethink their own sense of right and wrong and their very moral fiber, shame on all of them.

Jasmine...I don't even have to go that far.  Ever hear of Kwami Kilpatrick?  He's Detroit's dem Mayor.  Lori could EASILY fill her 2 pages on him alone LOL! ( I mean if he were republican).  I think corrupt politicians should be pointed out and booted no matter their party.  But I think that's the typical attitude for most conservatives.

I'll be the first to admit there are plenty of bad folks amoung the "Conservative Party". Our local government here has had it's fill of it lately. It certainly gives the party a bad name when you have a county rep hiring hookers and another coming onto his assistant. I'm ashamed of some of it that's for sure.

Doesn't make me want to vote the other way.....but it sure is an eye opener. Not everyone is what they want you to believe they are.

I was an Independent until my early 30ties. I'm now a registered Republican and on most days I'm proud of that fact. I will have to admit though I'd consider myself to be rather moderate compared to many. There are a couple issues I believe should be up to the individual to decide not the government.

I do vote for the person not the party. It just so happens that the majority of the people I vote for happen to be republicans.

As far as I'm concerned there's no debate necessary with regard to corruption since both partys have plenty of it.  So for me, it's a wash.  The war is a huge issue for me.  I honestly don't know what to do about the war, I want to get out big time, but I wonder if there's some truth to the argument that we'll be in worse trouble later if we don't finish the job.  What's always interesting to me is, everyone I've met who is in the military, those who have the most to lose, feel so strongly that we need to be there.  Are they being brainwashed or do they know something I don't?   I know there are military people and their families who don't believe in the war, but they seem, in my experience, to be in the minority. 

I have been told by my in-laws that I am a librel (sp?)... heck I do not even know how to spell what I am "suppose" to be

Ok.. since librels are open-minded... does that mean if the ole hubby asks for a 3-some, I have to have an open mind and do as he wishes?

Just asking...

I am open-minded, but what's mine is mine... if you know what I mean.
