LOL. Their political board is like CNN and MSNBC. Some serious far left loons over there.

Send me a pm

Liberals like other people to pay for their things. Just an observation.

I'm liberal. I certainly don't need anyone's help. Just drop the shit.

And yet people voted for Romney and still went and filed for food stamps Wednesday morning. It goes both ways. I voted for Obama because of Romney and crew's views on rape,incest and abortion mainly. Followed closely by gay marriage and Mitts lack of transparency. I'm not one to talk politics because frankly it ruffles feathers and I don't like to ruffle my friends feathers. So with that being said, you won't see another political post from me.

You talk about lack of transparency. Tell me the last time Obama said anything that was honest. Start with Benghazi and go from there. Try to explain why new jobless claims jumped by 80,000 the week after the election after having dropped continually before the election. I hope you have the brains to know that everytime Obama speaks, he lies.

Even gay marriage is a transfer of wealth. No one in main stream politics want to restrict what people do in their bedroom. The only thing gay marriage changes is that it gives massive access to marriage monetary benefits to gays, when their is no societal reason to do so. I don't support homosexuality; but I'm not a blatant homophobe. This is will surprise you; but my personal trainer is openly gay. He's a good guy, works his ass off. I went out of my way to help him get his job back as gym director at my club. But I'm not in favor of his current partner get health benefits at my expense.

From my perspective; only fools make social issues their primary reason for voting, especially during times when our economy is on the verge of imploding. I'm pro-abortion within limits. I think Republicans are fools for opposing abortion in any case. But anyone who doesn't vote their pocketbook before anything else is and idiot. Here are two realities. Abortion is here to stay, regardless of what conservative Christians want. Roe v Wade is here to stay, except perhaps being changed in the margins such as calling live birth abortions illegal. Equally, gay marriage is a states rights issue, not a national one .

If you completely flipped social issues and had Democrats opposing abortion and gay rights and Republicans supporting the opposites; but keeping economic issues the same; my vote wouldn't change. The real issue that seperates liberals and conservative is the issue of transfer of wealth. If you don't think that the core of the progressive liberal agenda is taking money from one class of person and giving it to another; you need to go back to the books and learn what you are actually voting for.

Until you understand that basic premise; you are best to stay away from posting on political issues.

I have a sub at IT too. Joined when Gerry and Jeff were over there.

Trust me, I dont have to reach to make you look foolish. You do a great job on you own. Glad you married into money. Hope it lasts. Don't expect me to impressed. I respect people who actually make their own success. One of my good friends did the same thing. He's paid for it for forty years. Real men make their own fortunes. Limp dicks think marrying into money make them look successful.

Are you laughing at yourself.

I stopped giving a shit what you think a long time ago. In fact, I remember the exact moment. You got on a thread I started about Garrett Gilbert and blasted me for saying we should go on and start McCoy and Ash. That's the moment I realized you weren't the brightest star in the galaxy.

Forcing someone who was raped by a complete stranger or even worse,a family member,to have a child is terrible. But since youre so worried about our economy,explain to me how more illegitimate children in the world results in less government funded living arrangements. Then explain to me how incest resulting in mental and physical retardation doesn't also drain government resources.

And I could give two shits less what a religious document says about marriage. That's all I have to say about that part of your post.

BS, you care more about what everyone posts on here than any human being should. "Hey, guys I've never met but talk to online, I'm coming to Austin! Let's hang out! I love the Longhorns and good food!" You care. It's weird how much you care. Accept it. You care a lot.

I am conservative and have no idea why a working person would vote for Obama and his agenda, but I also realize that others have a different mind set and there are many issues that one votes on besides fiscal issues. I have a partner and close family members and friends that are liberal/progressive and for the life of me just do not see how. We cordially talk about the issues but in the end agree to disagree, just as I do with those of different religions and life styles.

I also get the feeling that what some are getting at is feeling they are now disliked because they have a different view point. This should never happen and is similar to hating some one because they are a different race or religious belief. When you threaten a man's livelihood or beliefs he can get pretty intense and I understand this. My feeling is: hate the idea but like the person where ever possible. I think some of the animosity here came from several threads that got into name calling and crossed the lines of how friends act towards each other. If any are guilty of this then private discussions may be in order but would pm on this so as not to risk amplifying the issue.

My two cents.
