The Charge of the Light-Weight brigade

[YupItsMe]

Okay, admit it.  How many of you stopped reading and nearly died laughing when Taverner, the doped-up ignoramus posted "we, the intelligent ones"?

Yeah, at first I thought it might be a mole trying to make us laugh, then I saw it was Taverner, even funnier.

Oh I see, when I saw AD I thought you were saying active duty.

Yep I figured it out.

Wonder how this slipped past the primitives without comment?

61.It was during...

(snip)

Some USC folk did some research a few years ago. They asked conservatives if they understood other conservatives and if they understood liberals. They also asked liberals if they understood conservatives and other liberals. They posed a series of topics and asked each to explain themselves--and then to explain the viewspoints and reasons of others of like politics or opposing politics.

They found that a relatively small percentage of conservatives were willing to explain other conservatives' politics. Most who did so were right, although they gave themselves low odds of being right. Their answers didn't always agree with their own views--conservatives who were willing to answer were aware that most other conservatives would give other reasons. Very few were willing to explain liberals' politics. Most were wrong and thought they probably were. Their knew where their knowledge ended and ignorance began.

The researchers found that a startingly large percentage of liberals were willing to explain other liberals' politics. Typically each liberal said every other liberal thought precisely as s/he did; a hefty percentage were just plain wrong in explaining their colleagues' thinking. There was a marked lack of actual empathy and awareness of where one's ignorance began.

A startingly large percentage of liberals were willing to explain conservatives' politics. They were overwhelmingly wrong but said they were highly confident of their answers. And they were overwhelmingly wrong in mean-spirited and petty ways, and gave themselves similarly high confidence levels.

Primitive pointing out a USC study where libs were confident they all marched in lock-step (an indication to me that it's their desire to do so) and were arrogantly wrong in their evaluation of conservatives.

How long have these idiots been threatening war?  The best they've done is to make a mess and then violently sob, after getting maced.  I wish they would just get on with it.  It would make for an interesting afternoon.

I've been here 3 years, and on Free Republic since 2000.

During the Bush years, they threaten "something" every 15 minutes.  

Since Barry, not so much.

They are all bark and no bite, which is a good thing for their sake, if they tried any of the shit they talk about they would be 6 feet under and the person who put them there would not be charged.

I read about a similar study where conservatives were asked to explain liberals views and vice versa.

Conservatives more often than not got it correct.

Liberals didn't know shit from shineola when it came to conservatives.

At least this was sorta funny.

36. People who are at war don't vote in common elections.

So I assume in November you will be sitting at home cleaning your gun.

What else.   

Blowing his f'n mind (what little is left).   

Wouldn't do for this DUmmie to shoot him/her/itself in the head, he/she/it could never hit the brain.

[BlueStateSaint]

Yeah, they're all sorts of brave behind their monitors, aren't they?  Part of me wishes that nthey'd just start something, just to get it over with.  Then, the more sensible part of me realizes what a cluster-**** that would be, and hopes that they'd just die off by themselves.

[txradioguy]

DUmmie hypocrisy and double standard on display yet again.   

When they think they are "winning"...they want to declare all out scorched earth warfare against the rest of America (i.e. Conservatives/Republicans/anyone who disagrees with them)...but when you have events like 2010 roll around and they aren't getting their way...they all bemoan the lack of civility and cooperation in D.C. and call us mean.

Taverner...you're nothing more than a keyboard bully douchebag who'd wet yourself if we ever met face to face.

That used to be the norm, until all those damned WARNING LABELS started popping up on everything from airbags to cereal boxes.  Now the really stupid ones are not killing themselves off before they reproduce, and we are getting really, really stupid ones.

Well, "free health care" to DUmmies = "free drugs", the labels are in smaller print on the pill bottles, and with the "successful" public school system we have, they can't read the label anyway.  Things might be looking up.

I'm still not curtailing my range time, plus, I got 2 more new pistols I need to "sight in".

I've got to reckeck zero on a .30 WCF, a .308, and a .30-06 sometime in the very near future.

So, when can I expect some gun manufacturer to make a 12 ga. pistol.

Why aim at one when you can take out several at once.

Yes, tavernturd, we know.
Your forte is to post blustery, sternly worded comments on a closed far lefty message board.

Well, if you like the Taurus line, there's these (at the link):

But, if you'd prefer a Smith & Wesson, there's these models (at the link):

Yeah, they're .410s, but they're legal.  IIRC, a 12 gauge handgun is a "destructive device" and subject to (massive) regulation.

I believe there was one made that went along with those short Aquila rounds a few years ago, don't know whatever became of the idea, though.

Well, about the time of the Civil War the CSA had one of these:



It was a revolver with a 16 gauge shotgun below the revolver barrel.

I have read that thing caused more Confederate casualties than Union.

Taverner is trying to win DOTY for 2012, isn't he? 

Again, divide up the country, Taverner.  You socialists, hippies, freaks, welfare moms, and lazy asses live in one half of the country.  The rest of us will live in the other half.  Your half won't survive because you won't have anyone to leech from.  You'll end up in a miserable heap of freeloading socialists whining, crying, and complaining. 

Our half will thrive because we will work, take care of our families, live responsibly, and take care of those of our own who truly need our help.  And we will be much happier people.  Oh, and we'll have all the guns. 

DUmmies are such dumbasses. 


 

You know, back in the first one, the plains states were just cementing their statehood. And the mid-west from what I've seen with Wisconsin and Michigan are moving further right. So, if we split this deal up, what do the libs have left? Part of the west coast and part of the east? I'd like to see those two snotty factions communicate with each other over the great divide or be able to find any common liberal ground at all.

As for taverner, he's not too easy to pick off if this goes hot. Just wait for him to sink another needle in his arm and sit there in the ensuing mind numb; he is bye bye.

sounds like the study basically surmised that liberals or arrogant assholes who have no capacity for introspection or empathy and definitely no humility. Doesn't surprise me, that's about the same summation I would have given of many of the liberals I know.

[ADsOutburst]

Those responses I made were to ADs. It never dawned on me that he was responding to Taverner's dumbass. If that's the case .... 

Forbear! I'm one of the good guys!
