Because the Republicans send out faxes, info sheets, and "items of conversation", to thier members which outline to them what they should think and say.

They were told to discredit any dissedent opinion as "liberal" and "unamerican".

The Nazis did it this way too. Just take out "Jew" and put in "liberal".

I'm a liberal, to a certain extent. As in, I believe that the government should stay out of people's business, and stop making laws that limit freedom, instead of protecting it. I think most people, though, just don't feel like creating a bunch of useless threads to debate tired subjects; it's kind of like thrashing a deceased equine post mortem.

Well, I created about half of the threads here and they attracted lots of attention... especially from the right wing liars. Since no one agrees with thier lies they feel the need to post in other peoples threads and troll opinions they don't like.

Oh, and then they lie about it (see post above).. it's TEXT! We can go back and read what was said! But they don't care if they are lieing, they just want to troll those people who actually give a rats ass about the US of A.

Not to mention the death and slaughter in Iraq. Iran soon to follow, because a nation growing to democracy must be destroyed by the USA, Jebus save me.

Well, I suppose I would be considered a "right winger" by you, hell, you've called me one on multiple occasions. Why don't I feel the need to start a thread?

I suppose the answer is fairly simple.

The purpose of threads, (at least on every other BB I have visited) is to discuss a topic or an issue. Ghoulman, it seems, has a strong desire to bring forth issues that appeal to him, and that is fine. However, he apparently doesn't wish the "other side" (though I don't consider myself on that side) to respond at all. I have tried on many occasions to respond with a differing perspective and have gotten little in the way of respect for my opinions or a well thought out response for my troubles (certainly this isn't the case from all posters, there have been some very eloquent and thoughtful posts on this forum on all sides of the political spectrum).

More often then not I have been targeted for my responses, and been accused of hijacking the thread, (which is something I personally feel is odd as I view a topic as dynamic, changing with each post, response, etc...) or over posting when I wish to take the time out of my day to respond to indiviual points made by others, which is just something that appeals to my nature I suppose. I want to be thorough and address them if they have taken their time to address me. Granted I doubt that it will matter in the long run. People will hold to their conceptions of reality no matter what, really.

The most ironic thing about this thread? Ghoulman, (and I really don't want to pick on you, bud, but you just have a habbit of getting my goat with what I view as hypocrisy, sorry) keeps saying that he hates those "right wingers" that get their orders from their superiors, the Rush Limbaughs of the world, and yet he apparently follows an agenda that would be certified and stamped for approval from most any "leftist" spin doctor. Consequently thats where many of his posts come from, articles written by leftist spin doctors. Now, before I get jumped on, thats not to say that there aren't right wing spin doctors, or that they aren't just as wrong and just as prevalent as any other, but one would hope that in the pursuit truth you would want to get the entire angle and not limit yourself to any one.

Anyways, again, sorry for "hijacking" this thread. And if you want an even more simple answer to this question its simply that I can't bring myself to start a thread that would needlessly cause debate, that usually ammounts to nothing more then copy/paste jobs and vitriolic name calling on both sides, amongst Browncoats, people I consider friends. Doesn't seem worth it to me. Maybe other Browncoats think otherwise, but I don't.

I don't care, I'm still free.

^^^ See how they like to reverse the accusation? So now, JCobb is being attacked by the terrible liberals who start thier own threads.

Delusional!

Ghoulie, remember to be polite. I enjoy your posts and they do stimulate conversation. However, you must be careful not to turn into an attack dog - it makes you look bad.

Remember, the person who is polite and articulate will always come away looking better than the screamer of nonsensical rants.

Also, be sure to scrub behind your ears and clean your fingernails.

They? Delusional? It seems to me that it is YOU that suffers from an "Us Vs. Them," mentality. As far as me being attacked, I think its fairly obvious by the abrasive, crass, and often crude language you have utilized in previous threads, or even in this one, to describe those that disagree with you, (myself included) that you had little less then an attack in mind, nevermind a rational discussion. SignyM, Rue, and HKCavalier take a far more rational, thought out approach to their beliefs and how they chose to share their opinions, and yet they share a similar platform to yourself. I suggest you ask them for advice, or just attempt to mimic their approach. Granted, no one mentioned above has the perfect approach, nor do I, or anyone, but they do a darn good job of it.

Then again, that would require rational discernment, something I am now quite convinced you are incapable of.

I don't care, I'm still free.

for KNIBBLET--> lol , thanks and you are right. But when someone posts hateful crap and I respond with "frell off", I would hope they read the previous post to see why!

Hmmm, I must be suffering from those dillusions again. I could've SWORN that you have just "attacked" me. But, of course, you would NEVER do that. Never.

And, you are, of course, right. I follow your every move. I stalk you around the forums, just waiting to pounce! I am a panther on the prowl! Beware my ferocious roar!

...

Or it could be that you post SO very many political threads that we are BOUND to run into each other, I enjoy a good political discussion, and that because I happen to disagree with you, (I don't see you making vague accusations at Knibblet or Rue, or SignyM for participating in these threads) I suddenly live for no other purpose then mauling you and destroying your reputation.

I don't care, I'm still free.

Insidious!
