RIP, you didn't offend me and I hope it didn't come off that way. I hope I haven't offended you.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

Rip, you didn't offend; you just didn't know.
I can TRY to have a rational discourse with 'Rap; fate knows I've tried MANY times over the years... Problem is, if it ain't going his way, he's going to (a) resort to name-calling, (b) insult one's "patriotism", (c) attack the presenter when he can't deny the facts, and lastly (d) stalk away from the thread, only to bring up THE EXACT SAME CRAP TIME AND TIME AGAIN EVERY TIME IT COMES UP.
It's like playing Whack-a-Mole, honestly. And I'm not one to sit by and let lies go unchallenged until they become "truth". That's just not in me. Wrong is wrong, and when he's wrong, you better believe I'm going to point it out. And it's probably going to go ugly early once I do.

The "On Fire" Economy -
The Dow closed at 10,587.60 on January 20, 2001, the day GW Bush took office. Eight years later, it closed below 8000 on the day he left office - a net loss of 25%. That's what conservatives call an economic "success".

Malbadinlatin, count me as one of the Conservatives you "know" that does not display any faux outrage. I hope you have seen that by now. I certainly prefer humor over anger any day of the week.
Remember though...one incident of foundationless phony outrage and I will lump you back into the Conservapublineocontarian category.
And the humor? We're would someone like me find humor in the Conservative world?

I'll try and remember that. Can't promise anything, though. I'm only human.

I know that was probably tongue in cheek, but I'll answer anyway . . .
We find humor in the same places you do, my friend. Movies, TV, Commedians, etc. I'm a HUGE fan of Jeff Dunham and wish I could watch more late night TV. I'm sure I would find The Daily Show VERY funny if I ever watched it, but I just don't. Couldn't tell you why. I DO like Jon Stewart. I've NEVER seen The Colbert Report, but would probably find that funny, too. Granted, things I might find humorous (say on Glenn Beck or whatever) might not suit your tastes, but for the most part . . . c'mon. You know we're all pretty much the same when it comes to humor.

It comes down to me being a conservative, and the automatic misconceptions, the prejudices others have towards my point of view. Long before this issue of the Israeli t-shirts, folks like citizen went to their Left wing, standard issue array of insults set aside for anyone to the right of himself.
Racist, bigoted , xenophobe, homophobe, misogynistic, war mongering....blah blah blah. There are concrete and very valid reasons for my views, but folks on the Left simply don't want any part of it. To have to listen and think would be to threaten THEIR own view point, and that simply is too much to ask for some.

Contrary to what you might tell yourself, not everyone here is am ivory-tower fuzzy-headed librul who doesn't know the world is dangerous. Some of us are not college graduates. Some of us have lived in dangerous neighborhoods. Some of us have been in the military, or experienced terrorism or war first-hand. Some of us own a gun and are prepared to use it. I dare say that many of us have experienced as much danger and fear as you, if not more. We know its a rough world.
So why would so many people, of such diverse backgrounds, disagree with you so strongly?
Believe it or not, in a instance of supreme irony that only a careless universe could arrange, Finn posted the answer.
Didn't catch where Finn's answer is, but I'd like to give it a read.

What it comes down to is examining core beliefs...something it seems you don't do. Core beliefs should evolve over time to include new data & points of view. They should allow for possible error, even long term error. The non-re-examined belief system is stagnant, calcified & wrong-headed one.
It used to be hard for me to admit when I was wrong until I "let" myself be human enough to retain my self-respect even when I was in error.
Be courageous, dude.

This is complete lie. No one is prejudiced against conservatives, and AURaptor is not a conservative. The closest thing to AURaptor would be an SS camp guard who enjoys killing, but can't take responsibility for his actions.

All these things are true of AURaptor, that's why people say them (though he missed off Child murderer and fascist).

None of these things are true.
As a general rule of thumb, if you want to know the truth, it's the exact opposite of what this drug addict worshiping, child murdering racist Nazi says.

Another thing AU, when you post anywhere else on FFF, you are quite easy to get along with, because it's you talking. When you post here, more often that not we're being treated to a regurgitation of Rush, you're barely there at all, except in the form of a brainless tape recorder.
