I just surfed some conservative blogs just for the hell of it

 Three or four of them... Same old-same old. Obama: Bad, RINOs: Bad, Liberals: Bad. I'll spare you the gory details.

However, there was one aspect about them that was pretty consistent; I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what the **** they were talking about.

Their entire frames of reference were completely outside of the pale of actual reality,

It's like they pull their so-called facts straight from their dimpled asses. None of their shit makes any *******ed sense.

I feel sorry for any of you who have to deal with assholes like this on a regular basis, be they your relatives, co-workers or acquaintances. I wonder how you can keep migraines from crippling you when you talk to them.

I don't know if these people a stupid, crazy or mean, or some weird combination of them all.

What is it in this country that creates people like this, people with absolutely no common sense at all?

Any idea?

I sometimes fell sorry for him because they ignore him.  I lie.

4. I am a 63 year old who remembers when
 Republicans were republicans. I remember, although I was only 7 or 8, when Eisenhour was elected. Republicans changed when Reagan and Bush came along, thats when things changed. Thats when I realized what snakes they all were.

Fact :  Reagan made people greedy.  It's true, I read it on the DUmp.

6. I am 

 A little older than you, I too remember well when Ike was president, I actually met Truman when I was a child...reagon was the main turning point when they went from something that actually resembled sanity to total chaos and complete insanity and seemed to drag a goodly portion of the electorate with them. Republicans treat their politics as if it were a religion and their leaders it's gods.

Republicans do that ?  I'm shocked.  P.S.  I did not vote for the messiah you people call Obama.

10. I disagree that Reagan was the start of the winger
 cliff dive. I think he hit the national scene on the crest of a winger wave.

My age falls somewhere between both the above posters and my memory somewhat differs.

To me the anti-war movement of the 60's and 70's started the right on the path to Reagan. When Nixon was forced to resign the nuttiness magnified and then the various disasters under the Carter administration paved the way for Reagan and his cronies.

In the 70's and then in the Reagan campaign Lee Atwater perfected the politics of destruction and mentored people like Karl Rove to further the extreme agenda well into the 21st century.

Reagan was the manifestation of simmering hate and "government is the problem" thinking that the Republicans, then and now, perpetuate. Rather ironic when you consider that the anti-government anti-war movement is probably what got the ball rolling in the first place.

You could be right.  I don't remember all that but yeah, the people were fed up.

7. I understood the Republicans of the '70s

 Edited on Mon Mar-08-10 09:29 AM by MrScorpio

Hell, the hard working, union-loving, black and white citizens of Detroit voted for a Republican governor of Michigan to keep him in office for fourteen years.

Republicans like Ike, Rockefeller, and William Milliken could be both decent human beings and Republicans at the same time without hardly any trouble at all.

What the hell is up with this current crop of assholes is utterly perplexing. 

You're going to hurt yourself Mr. Dorkio. You may know Republicans but you know nothing about Conservatives.

16. It's Called The Parallel Universe...

 These people live in their own Private Idaho. It began in the 80s at the altar of Raygun and Atwater. It was a "redefinition" of not just their worldview but a lexicon to go with it. It was a lingo that incorporated all the feel good buzz words that masked the racism, sexism, homophobia and outright obnoxious nature that the rushpublican party used to "energize" a base and keep it in line. They not only mastered the "Big Lie", they build a theme park around it...called the Parallel Universe.

This is a world that gets more unhinged and inpenetrable...massively conflicted with its own hypocrisies but with no concern as to how little credibility they hold. They have revised their own history to avoid taking any responsibility and redirect the blame on its enemies. It's a world that now turns on its own hatred and frustration...no real ideology other than some conveluted dream of "What Would Raygun Do" and empty soundbites they cling onto like life support.

What creates it? Many sources...all who are opportunists who know that their empty catch phrases can be used to manipulate and sucker millions. It promises "prosperity" and privilidge built on the backs of the "inferior"...the "un-Amurican". It's an easy world to live in as the talking points are constanly reinforced on hate radio and shown on corporate media. In many ways the right wing have become the WWE of politics...it's a bloodsport and doesn't matter if its staged.

Cheers...

The Karma Train has jumped the tracks.

18. They're reinforced daily by AM radio and Fox "news"
 It's sort of a mass delusion.

What if you don't listen to AM radio or watch Fox news ?  Are you still deluded ?

I think it's kind of interesting to consider just when it was that the democrat party went crazy. I think it started the first time LBJ uttered the words "Great Society". That's when the democrat party decided to base its appeal on class warfare, and become an amalgamation of splinter, weirdo underclass groups and racial minorities. They completed their descent into lunacy when they adopted support for infanticide and hostility toward Christianity as their litmus test for party membership. That's the reality that the "reality-based community" can't see.

Let's see, when I went to lib websites for the past 8 years, this is what I saw, primitive Scorpio:

Same old-same old.  Bush: Bad; DINOs: Bad; Conservatives: Bad.  I'll spare you the gory details.

And it hasn't changed.

Maybe it's time you examined your own side before you start believing you have any right to comment on us.

Me thinks Mr. Skippy has been reading here-  

Tucker
yank them out of their rectal apertures

Mr. Skippy
It's like they pull their so-called facts straight from their dimpled asses.


miskie
-and other primitives do the same until the information they accept as fact has nothing to do with reality.

Mr. Skippy
Their entire frames of reference were completely outside of the pale of actual reality,

When placed in the reality/projection-correction translator the post reads somewhat like this...

I just surfed some DU-type blogs just for the hell of it

 Three or four of them... Same old-same old. America: Bad, Christians: Bad, Conservatives: Bad. Socialism: Great, Dictators: Great, Killing unborn babies: Great. I'll spare you the gory details.

However, there was one aspect about them that was pretty consistent; I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what the **** they were talking about.

Strangely, the DUmmie doesn't recognize or remember that Reagan was a DEMOCRAT until the 1960's.

FDR did it long before LBJ did, gobucks.

It promises "prosperity" and privilidge built on the backs of the "inferior"...the "un-Amurican".

No, Kharmatrain, it doesn't.  It offers the opportunity of prosperity built on OUR OWN backs, if government would just get out of the way and stop stealing from us and our kids, to give to freeloading jerks like you.  Big difference.   

I don't want anything from you, and I don't want to get anywhere near your back.

Typical.  We discuss things like:

1)   The Constitution
2)   Limited Gov't
3)   Freedom of Speech
4)   Freedom of Religion
5)   Intent of the Founding Fathers
6)   Morality
7)   Rights of the Individual
8)   Freedom
9)   Liberty
10) Justice

etc.....

Is it any surprise that the primitives have no idea what we're talking about?  The above holds no meaning to them, it's not a part of their political vernacular, so of course it doesn't make any sense to them when they read it at conservative sites.

Remember when the species Golfcorsicus RINOicus was an endangered species that one never saw anywhere near Washington.  Remember that cute and cuddly loser?  Now it's been replaced by conservatus victorious.  Dang it./sarcasm
