Political forum.com,... are? Of course everyone, everywhere, will deny that they have a base which is mostly "left", or "right", pro or anti , anything... However, EVERYTHING, HAS SOME BALANCE OF POWER THAT IT REPRESENTS, whether it is intended , or not I hope this topic will be permitted, in the interests of that most basic and wonderful right: Freedom of Speech So, opinons please?????
Not sure what the point is you're trying to make here. Could you dumb it down for me a little further?
If you are a conservative and ant- gay. Does that make you a conservative ? or ant- gay ? The tags we put on people are for illustrations only. So if we are Fiscally conservative are we tied with the ant- gay conservatives ? On the other side.. Are all democrats progressive ? Do they have to be to be a democrat ? Or where in the heck does Paul fit into the mix ? and what does that do for our tags and illustrations?
Tagging anybody anything is disruptive to any debate, and deflecting away from the issue/topic being discussed. It's counterproductive and childish, which exactly why the propaganda machine has emphasized categorizing people in groups of acceptance and groups of contempt. 　 One of the reasons, almost each and every thread deteriorates within the first few posts and by page 3 doesn’t even resemble the original post. The only balance is total extremism.
Dos not deflect,or add to the reality of it in any way.. when I come to a new town, it is a legitimate question to ask.. it is an honest question, if I say: The Daily Mail, The Sun, or THE GUARDIAN, most people would give me their opinions very easily. I am still relatively new to this forum, and while I realize the might be no definitive answer, I would like to know people's ideas about what the predominate attitudes of this Forum SEEM to be, to THEM...???
When I first arrived on the scene here at Forums,the place was taken over by Libs.They had rights that Conservative posters did not. I insist it had to do with an almost overwhelming majority of Liberal or Moderate type Mods.The kind that are either dead set in their Politics or sniffing around for leads,like a Coon dog after a hardened criminal. The place has moderated slightly towards the Right because the Left has little ammo left.Their arguments and tinkering Politics just don't meet the ' smell test.
SD, most of the best are long gone from this con cesspool of stupid hate, so you'll have to make of it whatever it is as present. Mostly it's the hard core that are still battling the same old, over and over, no matter what the topic is. It's devided like the US is, most will just shut up and let the popoff's turn up the heat until everybody gets burned. Don't waste your time, it's basically 'you suck, no you suck!.
Sorry but categorizing and defining people because of what you/others think they are is not productive. My point was the enormous amount of what should be considered name calling, directed at individuals who use logic and common sense when trying to make a point is more propaganda than reality. You must be a liberal if you believe A and you must be a conservative if you believe B, is extremely dishonest because it is only meant to derail the debate. 　 If you just want to know what political party people bow too, then the standard has already been established and there isn't any need in having a debate. Topics/issues are not black and white but that doesn't stop people from painting them all in that manner, and that is the real reason why there is very little intellectual honesty on forums like this. If choosing sides is all it is about then what is the purpose. Mob mentality rules. 　 This place started out dominated by republican neo-cons (Bush being in office), it eventually went democrat, as most folks came to the realization that republican/neo-cons were not as conservative as they pretended too be, and then the Obama era came to be. Things started out feeling like liberals had a strong hold as most conservatives were punch drunk by this time. Bushco being such losers and then McCain, a Rhino being thrown in to the match, but now as Obama has proven to be just another dirt bag professional corporate politician, no better or different than his predecessor, the conservatives have been given a new burst of energy (in their minds), only they are back to believing that the republican party is conservative again. So we are right back where we started from, haven’t learned a dang thing about the best government corporate money can buy, and we, the most ignorant bunch of ideologues ever manipulated by the rich/elites, are about to turn the reins back over to the sleaze ball corporate owned neo-cons all over again. This forum reflects that insanity to the fullest, or is that foolish extent?
It isn't so much that the Republican Party think they're as Conservative as a Ronald Reagan, then they know they're more Conservative than the liberal/marxist/commie regime we have in the White House at this time. Newt Gingrich is as Conservative as one can get, but we all know he makes for a weak politician when it comes to being electable. But that new burst of energy the Republicans now have started back in the 2010 elections with the inspiration and Conservative mindset of the Tea Party faithful. I don't see where anything concerning the Conservative movement has changed since 2010.
Back to the lesser of two evils mentality I see. Voting for a criminal because he is less a criminal than the last criminal still leaves you following a criminal. 　 　 Newt is a conservative?? Conservative what?? He's a typical dirt bag corporate politician, and that's just one of his finer characteristics. He's also an unethical sleaze bag opportunistic disgrace for a human being, and hypocritical serial adulterer who talks out both sides of his arse depending on which way the wind is blowing. Or is that another secretary/aid?? This guy is the total opposite of any acceptable definition of what a conservative is or ever has been. 　 　 Your hatred and emotions are not allowing you to think properly, if you conclude that Newt, of all people is a conservative. Just because he hates liberals, and says he is a conservative doesn't make him one Libhater. Same with disagreeing with neo-cons doesn't make you a liberal. You’d think after decades of this charade it would finally start being apparent.
