Dear Conservative Cave Dwellers: The Car Thread? Seriously?

[GOBUCKS]

If that had been a primitive whining about us, I wouldn't have wasted the wear-and-tear on the keyboard with such volume of wordage.

But because it was a fellow Nebraskan, I extended a special courtesy.

Your fellow Nebraskans may not be primitives. They may get an exemption because you are, after all, the final arbiter on that.
But Nebraskans at the DUmp are full-fledged, bona fide, full-blooded DUmbasses.

Yes, very true, sir.

That, but not primitives.

If one has a vested interest in something, or is biased for one reason or another, best to recuse oneself from the matter.

That's what I'm doing here, concerning Nebraskans who hang around Skins's island, being nonjudgemental as to their merits and unmerits, because for cultural reasons I'm, uh, somewhat biased on the matter.

But the others from the other 49 states, it's easy to be objective about them.

[franksolich]

Your fellow Nebraskans may not be primitives.

It's a matter of professional and scientific honesty.

If the non-Nebraskan members of the DUmpster wish to designate them primitives, well, yes, of course; their observations are just as valid as mine, if not more so.

But in my case, since I'm self-admittedly biased--that's the professional and scientific ethics here--best that I personally desist from labeling them anything other than the neutral "my fellow Nebraskans."

You of course see where I'm coming from; unlike the primitives, decent and civilized people can admit to subjective judgement-making.  Primitives on the other hand, being primitives, lie, and admit only to be objective, when in fact they're more subjective than those of us out here in the real world.

I post over there. 

I don't know how you do it.  I got TS'd after about 8 posts almost 3 years ago.  I had never heard of the place (I was not too politically inclined prior), and I just assumed some of the threads and responses HAD to be parodies. People who walk upright just simply could not think as they do, I thought.  Boy, was I wrong. 
So, to you, I am not worthy.   And converse to what someone downthread said, I could spend 15 mins on the Island, and 4 hours here dissecting them.  Luckily my job (sorry Bobbolink) limits my internet time. 
So, I honor you Evil_Conservative.

I'm not there all the time.  Their format sucks.  It's best to blend in and agree with the DUmmies on everything.  It's hard to take off my conservative mask at the door though.  There are far more members here who have been mole-ing at DU for much longer than me.

Hey Frank.

You've recently mentioned of several suspicious cars being pulled over in your corner of Nebraska. One wouldn't have been 2006 Taurus would it?

[Karin]

Hey Compaq, nice catch before it got locked or possibly fllushed.  BTW, did you happen to see your appreciation thread?  It's probably on page 2 or 3 by now.  From last weekend.  

In answer to Omahabluedog's question, "A car thread, seriously?"  He has no idea how precariously close each and every thread here can turn into a car thread.  

[franksolich]

You see what I'm getting at, sir.

It's a matter of scientific honesty and scientific dishonesty.

The left, the Democrats, the liberals, and the primitives have a monopoly on the latter, and I'd just as soon they keep that monopoly.

I think most would agree that I (along with others, of course) do an exceptional job of evaluating primitivity, in my particular case primitives from 49 states and elsewhere.

However, I have a problem with my fellow Nebraskans who hang around on Skins's island.

I think of them as Nebraskans first, and utter idiots second.

So I'm biased, when evaluating their potential primitivity; I'm much more nicer and kinder to them, than if they were from somewhere else.  If Omahabluedog were from, say, Florida or Nevada, I would've either ignored him or snapped at him, instead of being nice to him.  If OmahaSteve were from, say, Connecticut or Utah, I would be lampooning and ridiculing him all the time.

It's because when it comes to my fellow Nebraskans, I'm biased, and admit it.

However.

However.

However.

You yourself, or say, for example, our colleague JohnnyReb from South Carolina, have no emotional, intellectual, or material ties to Nebraska.  So you (or Johnny, for another example) can look at my fellow Nebraskans with an impartial and coldly rational mind, assessing any potential primitivity in them based solely upon cold hard stark facts.

And so if you were to adjudge OmahaSteve as a primitive, well, your assessment, because it's made rationally, would be the accurate assessment.

I can't do that, being a Nebraskan myself, but you and all other non-Nebraskans can.

Me, because I have a proprietary interest in my fellow Nebraskans who hang around on Skins's island, have to defer to your judgement, not mine, because my judgement in this particular matter is tainted, polluted with bias.  Bias has no place in honest science, in this case the science of anthropology, and so I myself, NOT being a "final arbiter," must defer to more rational minds than my own.

I post over there. 

Same here.  Oh, if they only knew.

Hey Frank.

No, but if it has Nebraska license-plates, I don't plan on losing any sleep over it, because in my biased perception (which I freely admit, remember), my fellow Nebraskans don't stoop to low, dirty, cheating tricks like primitives do.

I bitched a couple of years ago when "TwilightGardener," a transplant from Pennsylvania to southeastern Nebraska, a registered nurse, came up to bother and mess up this part of the state--the scenic Niobrara River, practically at my door-step--but now that she's been here in Nebraska for a while, I can tolerate her.

But as for Italian-looking people with Maryland license-plates, old hippies with Oklahoma license-plates and a big wood-axe in the trunk, tiny women with bumper-stickers enthusiastic about abortion, with Texas license-plates, or some stupid pompous jerk with Connecticut license-plates and a surfboard strapped to the top, I'm going to get as unreasonably paranoid as the primitives.

[BlueStateSaint]

I don't . . . and I have tremendous respect for those who do.

I can't say I feel the same way about fellow Tennesseans. I'd love to stuff TN_Socialist in a Mason jar. Fortunate for him TN. is a long state and he's over in Chris's neck of the woods.

The primitives politicize everything.

I'm anxious to see if my fellow Nebraskan OmahaSteve can describe an encounter with a live rattlesnake, or living through a real tornado, without bringing Cindy Sheehan or Walter Reuther into the account.

I bet he can't; I'll bet OmahaSteve can make either instance political.

edited to change "Harry Bridges" to "Walter Reuther," as the first reference is too obscure; sorry for the inconvenience, and carry on.....

Well, but Tennessee's a pretty big state, while Nebraska's the eighth-smallest state in the union.

There's lots and lots of Tennesseans, so one can freely pick-and-choose which ones to like, and which ones to dislike.

But in my situation, there's so few of us that one has to take all one can get, even if only fools and the willfully ignorant.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Wow, they're getting bold over there. That's two shoutouts this week. Guess Skinner went back on vacation and left Elad in charge again.

Either the last fundraiser was wildly successful, or Obama has started forking out his campaign stach and the money truck from DLC arrived at DU.

 

[GOBUCKS]

some stupid pompous jerk with Connecticut license-plates and a surfboard strapped to the top, I'm going to get as unreasonably paranoid as the primitives.

A surfboard is as useful in the Sandhills as it is in Connecticut. Like a tit on a boar hog, or a blank cartoon speech bubble.

[Wineslob]

3. We've decided to lock this thread.
   
It does Democratic Underground no good to draw traffic to sites like Conservative Cave.

Ostrich's meet hole in ground.

[dandi]

Okay, I'm finally compelled to respond to my fellow Nebraskan, about points he made in his campfire...

Brevity is the soul of wit.

But Pedro Picasso's exactly the sort of idiot who would bring a surfboard to the Sandhills.

This guy makes the usual "stupid" look Einsteinly brilliant.
