Where are the Conservatives?

[obumazombie]

I'm not yet convinced that you aren't still a mole.

 

I'm overdue for a promotion 

[rich_t]

I'm overdue for a promotion 

OK.  Do you prefer to be called Master Mole or Mole Master?

 

[remington762700]

It's RINOs (a phrase which by the way is a height of political immaturity to use), and if you want an echo chamber then you are looking for freerepublic.com.

Godspeed on your cyber travels.

I appreciate the correction in a subject you obviously have some expertise in. The deflection of resorting to school yard sandbox tactics to avoid the topic is woefully ineffective.

Mole or no, he is funny. 

[EagleKeeper]

Is this part of the Borg Collective or what? "I'm not going to win any friends?" So if I disagree with you I'm not welcome here? Most voters are not interested in politics therefore they cast their vote based on other factors. (That stands to reason doesn't it?) I'm almost certain I'll never meet any of you and while I'll come to respect certain peoples opinions, there are others I won't and I expect that others will feel the same way about what I post.

What liberal trap am I falling into?


The Fairness Doctrine and the explosion of the internet doesn't educate people if they don't want listen or read about politics. I would guess that most people watch 30 minutes of world news nightly and would calculate "their well informed". Could it be that the attempt by the left to reenact the Fairness Doctrine could be somewhat based on an idea that the commentary people do listen to is destructive to their agenda? Wouldn't that be reason enough to want to reenact it?

What "tired old crap" is it that you're referring to?

I'm answering peoples questions and comments to the best of my ability. If you believe this topic is over, you're free to go to another thread.

How would you classify people, for example in the video? With the absents of inflection in the written word I find it curious how you come to the conclusion that I am either arrogant or snobbish.

(Sounds to me like someone needs a hug)

You're letting your fascist slip show, why not just leave things to the peoples representatives.

I guess you could try to do it by executive order, quite frankly, I dare you folkes to try.

You should kneel to the east and pray thanks for the 9th circus every day because that's your last line of defence.

[obumazombie]

I was thinking more along the lines of promotion to Forum Seminole (>or=1/32). Since I'm already black, in protest of the current administration, I could be the forum's 1st black seminole (>or=1/32nd) male lesbian. This deal just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter (say it like Larry the Cable Guy).

I laughed at that enough that my cat startled and scratched my shoulder.

Damage control mode.

**** the 9th circus and would you kindly demonstrate how my post had anything to do with fascism?

I allready did...what is wrong with you people?

I hope this doesn't derail, but Savage calls it the 9th jerkit court of schlemiels.

I am quite new here.If anyone seen what i have done in other places,IM soooo far right...IM diagonal. 

[txradioguy]

The Fairness Doctrine and the explosion of the internet doesn't educate people if they don't want listen or read about politics.

And yet...despite your arrogant assumptions...more people are politically aware on the left than they have ever been.

People sitting around their computers in their pajamas were able to catch a tenured "respected" news anchor attempting to bring down a sitting president with forged documents.

If people were still as politically stupid as you claim that would have never happened. 

If people were still as politically stupid as you claim we wouldn't have the TEA Party as a serious force among the Conservative ranks.

All you have to do is look around this place and others like CU redstate hot air newsbsuters etc to see that people these days aren't "politically stupid".

Shall I continue to show where you're wrong about whether people today are "politically stupid"?

Or maybe we could just look at the results of the recent Celebrity Jeopardy episodes to see which side of the political spectrum is truly stupid.

You seem to be applying late 70's early 80's dynamics to present day...and it just doesn't add up.

I would guess that most people watch 30 minutes of world news nightly and would calculate "their well informed".

Again you'd be wrong.

And then there's this little gem:

Pew Research: Republicans More Knowledgeable Than Democrats

In a scientific survey of 1,168 adults conducted during September and October of last year, respondents were asked not only multiple-choice questions, but also queries using maps, photographs and symbols.  Among other subjects, participants identified international leaders, cabinet members, Supreme Court justices, nations on a world map, the current unemployment and poverty rates and war casualty totals.

In a 2010 Pew survey, Republicans outperformed Democrats on 10 of 12 questions, with one tie and Democrats outperforming Republicans on just 1 of the 12.  In the latest survey, however, Republicans outperformed Democrats on every single one of 19 questions.

Huh?  That makes no sense at all.

[remington762700]

I allready did...what is wrong with you people?

                My mistake......clearly they should have called you the "great communicator"  .......as long as we cleared that up............ ......thanks for stopping by.......priciate it.............(whatever).............

Big Three Evening Newscasts At or Near All-Time 25-54 Demographic Lows

CNN reported its lowest rating in 20 years last week. The reason for it because people are getting sick of the slobbering love affair the Big three have with Obama. Fox New has ratings higher than all three put together, that includes MSNBC in that mix as well.

Which would seem to directly contradict why our n00b is saying.

[EdwardSpacer]

**** the MSM.boycott.

[Kyle Ricky]

Eh?

[EdwardSpacer]

Mainstream media is the altered propaganda arm of the Marxist machine. Go to www.Marxist.org you will see that what is going on in this nation falls in line with the Communist manifesto

That's pretty much what Iv'e done...and quite frankly I believe most people in America have done as well.

I get more info off the web from the news sites that I read.

Can't tell you the last time i sat down and watched a traditional evening news show.

People Bill O'Riley called "stoned slackers".

Ok, lets take a look at the summery of the Pew research.....While admitting the test administered may have been a poor way to judge people's political intelligence; "Fully half would have failed, while only about one-in-six would have earned an A or B."

Intelligence level of all voters during the 2004 election claims;
a. There is no discernible intelligence difference between Bush voters and Kerry voters.
b. Kerry supporters who insist that Bush voters are "dumb," and who point out as evidence state-by-state IQ scores, are engaging in behavior that could be construed as racially inflammatory.

Does the Constitution mandate a separation of Church and State? Lets hear what America's smart voters say.
http://www.au.org/church-state/september-2011-church-state/au-bulletin/constitution-mandates-church-state-separation

Footage of Marion Barry in a room of crack smoke saying, "Bitch set me up." And yet that image, that video did not disqualify him from being seen as a viable political option in the mind of voters. In fact, not only was he re-elected mayor after serving time in a federal prison, today he sits on the City Council obviously put there by "intelligent" voters. 

http://pop-trends.com/key-44317/marion+barry.html 

Politicians have become adept at manipulating numbers, either to pass important legislation or to avoid imposing politically unpopular policies such as tax increases (now often labeled as “revenue enhancers,” falsely implying there is a difference). "Family Planning" replaces the name "abortion clinic" for the slaughter of the unborn (as opposed to the term "fetus") yet your claim is that most people are intelligent enough to see through these disingenuous practices so why are they so commonly employed.       

Clinton employed the term "for the children" to entice voters into agreeing with new social programs and economic policies. Recycling items like paper and glass do nothing to save money or the environment yet people are convinced they do. Beets are a better source per acre than corn as a source for sugar so why do farmers plant corn?

Some people are better informed than others. Personally I'm not here because I'm disinterested in government but according to this study (2004-2008) shows an overall trend that people are less interested in politics. Again from the study, those not interested or with very little interest has steadily stayed around 50%.

So far troll...all I'm hearing from you is negative "Americans are stupid drivel.

That's a Liberal trait not a Conservative one.

Conservatives are more positive about the country as a whole and the people that inhabit it.

If we Conservatives are so dumb and uneducated...what would a genius like you do to fix it?

Still waiting for you to provide "facts" that supports your claim......No? No facts? (And you call me a troll?) Hmmm.....Your emotional argument doesn't change anything. (Isn't emotional argument a liberal trait?) Wanting American's to be smarter, wanting people to amass into internet cafes to catch up on political events doesn't make it so. (Hope and Change? is that your inspiration?) And you call me a troll? (Isn't attacking the messenger rather than addressing the issue a liberal trait?)

Pssst......It's a liberal tactic to accuse the opposition of what they are guilty of.



And I didn't say "conservative".
