My name is shawn and I would probably consider myself more liberal than conservative. I found out just how tolerant liberal sites like DU and KOS and I got booted after I dared question libs POV's
I learned just last week, that a few people on this site defended me after my banning at DU and I just wanted to say thanks.
here is the link (http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=5624.0)

You're welcome.
It's always interesting to see well-meaning people find out what a cespool DemocraticUnderground is the hard way. They are truly horrible people.
-
Welcome aboard shawn. Hope you stick around.

Welcome Shawn. We have a couple people of the liberal persuasion around here, so you aren't alone!
Although I must be honest, we are an equal opportunity board...we treat all jerks alike, conservative or liberal, so as long as you aren't a jerk, you should be just fine!
-
Welcome Shawn! I second what Chris and Flame said. We love a healthy debate and welcome differing opinions. I think you'll find this place a lot of fun.
-
Now you have something in common with Elizabeth Edwards ('cept she wasn't banned - she banned herself). It must be terrible to be unsuspectingly confronted with the ugliness that is hardcore liberalism.
Type-2 liberalism (aka DUmmies) is almost always a byproduct of a hated-filled soul, emotional retardation, childlike logic refusal, intellectual emptiness, moral blinders, and mental illness (that's on one plate, not a buffet).
It makes you think twice before you label yourself, dudnit?
-
Thank you flame :hyper:
I really appreciate the warm welcome here from you and other members.
-
Dixie,
Actuallly I'm not sure If I consider myself all liberal. I am on the fence on abortion, I hate the fairness doctrine, affirmative action, but I support universal healthcare and stem cell research, so I guess I am a left leaning independent.
-
Welcome!

Welcome to CC, Shawn. :cheersmate:

I know when I'm being left out. I really did mean to say "welcome". I swear! :-)
-
lol, lord Undies. No problem. This looks like a pretty cool site. Even though my pov might be perceived as liberal, I actually blog at conservative sites. I find them more friendly than the rabid libs.

Welcome :cheersmate:
Few perfectly fit under conservative or liberal labels, there's always been lots of grey. It's the fun area :-) Some staunch conservatives strongly support stem cell research. While many others, support 'healthcare reform'.

Welcome shawn8! Has your head healed yet? :-) Getting smacked with the stone of "The Reality Based Community" can smart sometimes! :-)

I like to think of this place as a sort of prison for a conservative minded assault outreach group.
have you joined a gang yet or are you planning on just riding *****?
:hammer:

I guess I went at this thing bassackwards, posting first, and not introducing myself. My name is Di, I am a business owner, work at home, just turned 43, and am a Conservative. I appreciate the kindness I have already been shown, even my first bitch slap, and hope that you all won't get tired of me asking questions, I like to know what the heck is going on, and if I don't get something, I ask. I've been lurking over here in the Dumpster for a while, and decided to make my presence known. Great site.
-
Hey guyz, Welcome aboard!
The caveman avatar is the board default, you can do a personalized one by going to the "profile" link at the top of the page and resetting it.
Glad to have you both here.
Don't take the Bitchslap and High Five function too seriously! :-)
-
TTT,
Wow your SN is tongue twister :cheersmate:
I guess I have you to thank for the du thread. Lol how did you come by it?

How are you on the fence on abortion?

How are you on the fence on abortion?
Hi Rich,
I would not consider it for my family, I hate abortion, I agree with partial birth abortion being illegal. On the other hand I believe a person should be able to abort a child in the situation of rape or incest, or if they knew the child would be born with a serious birth defect.

See there. You aren't on the fence about it at all.
I share your POV on this. Especially when it comes to rape or incest (which is usually rape anyway).

Lol Rich, I would have to disagree with your opinion about my opinion :-)
Like I said, I spend quite a bit of time on conservative blogs. Many of them consider the fetus a person and all life is sacred regardless of the circumstances. When I do get into heated debates with conservatives, it is usually against social conservatives.

Few things in real life are truely black and white. There are indeed shades of gray.
Abortion is one of those 3rd rails for many conservatives. Ya see... we don't walk in lock step. We will indeed differ in opinion on many issues.
What is your stance on guns?

I have never understood that "rape and incest" exclusion. Seriously. I don't understand why those little lives are worth nothing. It seems inconsistent.
(I couldn't resist throwing in that 2 cents - the subject matter is bigger than I. Carry on.)

Ok... I'll briefly touch on that.
If your daughter was raped... Would you force her to pay for the medical expence of carrying a child that she didn't want (and didn't have consensual sex to concieve), to bear the not inexpensive hospital cost, the considerable pain of delivery, for a child that will forever remind her of the most horrible moment of her life?

I mole DU! Whenever A Duer exibits a modicum of common sense it's big news over here and we watch closely how long it takes for that person to get "The Granite" :-) It usually doesn't take too long! :-) P
lus I'm a shit stirrer myself so I find other shit stirrers very entertaining! :lmao:

I believe in the right to bear arms. I am little concerned about how deadly some of the weapons available are though.

Yes. We need sweeter kinder guns. :lmao:

Well, there is a technological difference between a blunderbuss and Ma Deuce, but the end effect is the same - dead bad guys.
-
Shawn, we're diverse. There are issues that I disagree on with some posters here. I'm an independent, former Libertarian. I voted for Perot (twice) but voted for Bush, twice. I was in the military during Clinton's two terms. I'm socially-libertarian/liberal and fiscally to the right of Attila.
....but they don't ban people here for their views.
-

They're all deadly, Shawn. I could take a Remington 1100, remove the plug, and load it with single ought and kill 30 people. All I would need is a 9MM to hold the people off while I reloaded.
BTW, can you guys assure us that while you're prohibiting law-abiding citizens from owning AK's that the criminals will be regulated as well? If not, then you have no case. The USSC has ruled that cops don't have an obligation to protect you. They're there to investigate. They are after the fact. ....as in, after you've been shot they try to find out who did it. Does that do any good for you?
Criminals don't follow laws.....no matter how many you pass.

BTW, this JUST happened in quiet Columbia County GA:
http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2009/03/28/met_516220.shtml
Wonder what would have happened if she had been trained in the use of firearms and had a Glock?
Oh, and there was a link. The bitch next door sent her drug-addled 19 Y/O son over to kill her. The concocted a story that her home was broken in to as well and staging a shooting directed at her at her place of business.

The cops are there to draw a chalk outline of the dead body. I prefer it to NOT be mine.

Bingo. h5.

Hi, Shawn --
Followed the link to the famous (or infamous) DUmp thread,
all I can say is... wow - you da man!
-

Amen. And if people KNEW how "thin" the thin blue line REALLY was, you'd see a lot more people going around armed.
I live in a town of 30,000, and unless it's armed robbery, murder, rape, the cops are simply spread too thin to respond. I found out one evening that on a typical Friday or Saturday night, there are EIGHT cops on duty, two of which are at the station/dispatch.
SIX police for a town of 30K, spread out over about 50 square miles of jurisdiction. LOTS of little back roads, etc.
911 is nothing more than government sponsored Dial-A-Prayer.

Shawn,
You don't happen to post at Newsbusters, do you? I know a Shawn there, and if I was using my SN from there here, he would know me.
The reason I use the dorky one I have, is this is the name my daughter made for me the day she got her first computer about 11 yrs ago. I keep it as my default go-to name. I have never really blogged until the last two years. I suck at computer stuff, for one thing. I used to be so busy with running my business, my kids were still younger teens, and so I just didn't. Now, I have too much free time, hate tv, and mostly just read. I never thought of being anything BUT Conservative, my whole family is, it was how I was raised, and I never was near a lib until college, and other than the profs didn't meet that many of those where I went to schoool.

Why did your daughter leave off the 'y'?

Scary ain't it? I used to work for the P.D.

I do post at NB happy1ga. That is my main political blog. I signed on here to thank a few members for defending me from a bunch of libtards. What is your SN on Newsbusters?

H5 for the lovely av...being beautiful isn`t a requirement for the ladies to be members here but damn if it don`t seem to always work out that way just the same. :cheersmate:

In order:
Shawn: If you read just 2 or three of my posts, you will know IMMEDIATELY who I am, as I am possibly the most open person on NB. I don't have time to deal with people who hide themselves or obsfucate online. If you are honest, what do you have to hide? BTW, you and I have butted heads, more than once, but generally you don't inflame too many people. Seems like I remember JWF or BOTG having the most issues with you.
Carl: I almost didn't post the pic, it was the only one I had on my comp. I think it makes me look like I am storing nuts for the winter in my cheeks. However, at 43, I will take any compliments I can get. Thanks.
Dutch: Several mass murders, the President selling us out to the ferriners, and the Norks trying to launch a missle. Slow week? Crap, what would get you all fired up? But I probably deserve a BSing for something.

Come on give me a hint :-) I read your other post, but I still cannot figure it out. Yes I have my share of disagreements with JWF and botg but they are both on my buddie list.
-
Welcome to CC. It's to bad that even DU can't take someones reasonable questions no matter how much it goes against their beliefs. You'll find that they are pretty much inflexible when it comes to anyone speaking out,even a fellow liberal.
-
Shawn,
I would have told you, but now it is just too fun. If you read my posts and can't figure it out? I will see how long it takes you. :-) Notice I knew who you were after only 2 posts here? Of all the Shawns in the world? More proof for you guys that women are the superior species.

Don't mind Dutch his fascination with the BS button borders on insanity! Just don't put your hands anywhere near his mouth! :-)

At least let me know if you are still a current member that still post quite often, or you have not been on the boards for while?

I am now thinking it is a good idea to keep all body parts away from Dutch, just to be on the safe side. :-)
Shawn,
Yes, I post pretty regularly at NB. Still no luck, huh?

Got it in one. You may be smarter than the average bear. :-)
