Hi there! I'm a liberal, and I want to help you guys out. The fact is that neither side was particularly well represented this year, and in the interest of improving the level of conversation between liberals and conservatives, I thought I would offer to answer some questions and give some advice.
Read the rest before you ask, please, and if I say something that sounds sarcastic, it probably is, but I mean no offense.
Enjoy the welfare state you just helped create.
This could be fun...PING!!
You had better pray that The It is a whole lot less effective then he has promised. Otherwise, you will learn the true meaning of “Unintended Consequences” and the uses of a pig pen.
You wish he was a CAPITAL "C" communist, versus the Ayers small "c" communist?
I don’t know. I hope so, and the fact is that I am as for to the left of him as you are to the right, and I think that most Americans disagree with both parties on some serious issues.
Maybe if we could “unite” for a minute, we could get some things that all of us want done taken care of, and then go back to squabbling over details. This was the spirit of my post.
IBTZ!
Some people (liberals) are like slinkies, they are no fun until you push them down the stairs.
You forgot ILLEGITIMATE President-Elect, since so many believe he was born in Kenya, and because of all the fraudulent ACORN voters.
Actually, I’m in. You’ve registered. I’ll listen. I’ll attempt reasoned discourse.
My experience in dealing with self-declared *political* liberals is that I get very little in the way of principled positions, or fact-based arguments. My experience is that political liberals are among the most intolerant and irrational among our truly diverse populations. So, having written all that ...
So, I’ll give you your shot. I am ready to listen.
Tell me,
(1) what are the top three ‘changes’ you expect from an Obama administration, and
(1.1) what are the indicators of success of those top three changes, and
(1.2) what is the price to be paid of NOT making those changes, and
(1.3) what is the price to be paid to MAKE those changes, and paid by whom?
And
(2) What, SPECIFICALLY will be better for you because Barack Obama is going to be our PResident?
You must be confusing this site with someplace else. Do a little more research (and stay away from large cities). Please STFU.
And Zot!
So do we, welcome to the club. McCain didn't lose on account of being too conservative, libtard. The silver lining is that we can go back to hating him now.
Nor mine, that sort of what I mean.
You forgot his birth certificate....not released.
So how many years should a child be out of the womb, before you would abort it?
Translation...I'm the government, and I want to help you guys out.
“So, let’s leave the 9/11 conspiracies and the guilt-by-association (Ayers, Wright, Liddy, etc) stuff alone, and talk about important things. And please, if you want to know why I hate America, it’s all about reality TV (<— sarcasm); real questions, please.”
OK...First question...what makes you think I give a tinker’s damn about why you hate America? (<— also sarcasm; maybe)
OH! And, that ‘guilt by association’ thing...it’s far too important to leave alone. The sheeple wool over your eyes just won’t let you see it.
Of course we can (and will) talk about important things. But, if you have nothing else to offer other than the cock-a-mamie socialist malarkey that comprises the Liberal platform, you are very likely wasting your breath.
If I remember correctly, DU closed down the site to non-members following the last election. Make of that what you will.
My gut tells me that liberals are O’s worst enemy at this point. The expectations are enormous and he’s almost destined to fail to meet those expectations. Conversely, no amount of success will win over the conservative base.
Of course, you never mention the NYT/CBS/ABC/MSNBC smear-fest against Sarah Palin. Your friends at Daily Kos told us Trig was really Bristol's child, incestuously conceived with Todd. Of course, this was just the Obama campaign's attempt to flush out Bristol's current pregnancy, an open secret in Wasilla at the time.
Your friends in the hate-filled anti-Christian media criticized her mainstream Christian beliefs. For instance, some scandalously pointed out: "She is a member of a church that believes in the 'end times.'" Yes, all Christians do. There's an entire book of the Bible covering the subject (Revelation).
Your friends irresponsibly kept alive the myth that she tried to ban books in Wasilla, for instance. They kept alive the myth that she abused power in regards to trying to get a man fired from the Alaskan State Police whom the Governor's security staff said was a threat to the Palin family. They tried irresponsible gotcha journalism and asked questions of her that they never asked of The Messiah.
Ayers and Wright are not minor issues. They show a a long-run tendency to make friends and political allies of anti-Americans, anti-capitalists, and racists.
Your desire for conversation is what your side always does: Tries to neuter us by seeking phoney bipartisanship at the same time that you try to take away our First Amendment rights by driving our voices out of the media and, with the coming Fairness Doctrine, shutting up talk radio.
No longer will we be cowed by your claims that any attempt to advance our beliefs is inherently racism, mean-spiritedness, or divisiveness. We are now going to fight like we haven't fought since 1994, and that does not bode well for your totalitarian leftist friends.
Will you try to have decent conversation with us when Obama closes all churches that teach the Biblical positions on homosexuality and abortion? Will you try to seek common ground with us when Obama shuts down talk radio and bans conservative viewpoints from the media? I doubt it.
Le Zot!
