Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant.

isn't a conservative doesn't have a brain."

I have always in that respect been heartless. I can't see giving my hard earned money to support those that wont do for themselves

Well Slim, I have a few one-line quotes like that about Conservatives, but I'd rather avoid running the risk of offending anyone here and starting something, that's not productive for anyone. But I'll just say that if you're going to throw around quotes from Ann Coulter, you don't have the right to complain if I quote Al Sharpton (not that I like him, but you get the idea here). Just remember that she's the one who thinks that the wives, husbands, children, and parents of our brothers and sisters killed on 9/11 are running a scam to get charity money for free. Socialism, right?

I willing to agree with you on that but that does not make everything she has said in the past wrong.

Slim, these types of statements bothered me much more before the election. Now, its clear they are the opinions of a shrinking minority of Americans who would quote Anne Coulter.

If the Republicans can't beat "the most liberal Senator ever" who they claim is a Muslim and his best friends are terrorists and he has the middle name "Hussein" ... well, what the heck does that say about Republicans?

By the way, I think its plain-old silly to say a strong majority (approximately 53%) of Americans are "always against America".

The Dems had a liberal running against a popular Republican with an arch-conservative as his running mate ... Biden was largely irrelevant. The American people have spoken. Your side lost. Instead of being arrogant and heavy-handed, hopefully the Democrats realize things are cyclical and work with the other side to get things done (even though they now have a mandate, not to be confused with a "man-date", which was banned in California ha).

I appreciate some conservative principles and I pledge not to treat conservatives the same horrible way they treated liberals these past few years (you hate America, you are a traitor, move to Canada, etc.).

Do what you gotta do man. I think things get ugly when people are always filled with hate, whether it be against Obama or against Bush. There is a large middle ground in America, one which Obama won by being above the fray.

But it takes all types. No one said the Republican party didn't have its own Cindy Sheehans and Jeanine Garafalo's!

not for nothing but if you look at the state of the US when Bush came into office, and the way he will be leaving it in January can you blame liberals for supporting Bush the way they did... look at oil alone.. when Bush was sworn in crude oil was a little more than $20 a barrel, it remained over $100 a barrel consistently for a while and only recently came back down.. sitting today at about $61

Slim:


I find your opinions regarding liberals fairly ignorant. If I may ask you a question: were the Founding Fathers of this Great Country not liberals? If they were conservative then they certainly wouldn’t have written the Declaration of Independence; which states, and I shall quote the great document: “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” I am sure anyone that has a basic understanding of these men will admit that they were not - “too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.”, and for the founders that were over the 40 years of age mark, they certainly still had a brain. If those men were conservative they would not have made a government of the people, by the people, and for the people; and they would not have had a war with their mother country.

Was the greatest president this country ever had, President Lincoln, not a liberal? Did he not free the slaves? Aye some will say, and it is true, that he said he would do what ever he needed to do to save the union; save or keep the slaves; but he did free the slaves. Or was President Roosevelt not a liberal? Was he acting in a conservative way when he said that business cannot be allowed to run the country and did all he can to destroy trusts? Did he not save more forests and natural wonders in this country then anyone else? If anyone else was elected they would have let the loggers cut down whatever they wish. Or how about when he created the FDA, and demanded that every citizen in this Great Country be given a Square Deal? And as for Ann Coulter, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was a very liberal man, and yet he was the one who defeated the Nazis, and took this country from a great depression to economic prosperity. And I shall remind you that the great depression happened under the watch of conservative Republicans: Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. And was President John F. Kennedy supporting the Soviet Union, as Ann Coulter stated? Last time I checked President Kennedy was a war hero from World War II, and stopped the Cubans from getting ICBMs installed on their island.

Now I would like no one to think that I hate conservatives or that they are worthless, ect… on the contrary I think President Ragen was a great man, as was Ike, and I wouldn’t have anyone other then Pete King represent me in Congress. But I don’t see how anyone with half a mind, and without ignoring American history, can just go and say liberals are essential worthless and, if left to their own devices will destroy this country.

You wanna know how I look at it?

It's over.

The American people have spoken.

What's done is done.

No sense crying over it now.

We'll get to do it again in 4 years.

In the meantime, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

So lets get back to doing what we do best: Protecting our community and the citizens of it.

PWFire: you're the man! I'd love to see the country be less hate-filled (on both sides). Obama has basically claimed hed be a guy who listens to both sides ... maybe this will work!

But if he sucks, despite my support against Hillary and McCain, I will be all over him too!

Underhill

How come all your posts are in this thread? Also all those that you listed had a thing that makes them impossible to be a liberal. They believe in God. And on that note I will see you next week.
