Sorry, GeeMack, but Snake seems to have topped herself on the irony scale with the above response.
It's just astonishing to me that someone who wouldn't "stoop that low" would suggest something as ridiculous as a person who simply pointed out an irony would be comfortable with thought police (or even terrorists!). Unless, of course, Snake is just spoofing herself and I missed the joke, but I doubt that.
And forcryingoutloud, Snake, if you're going to compare Al Sharpton to anyone, wouldn't the better comparison be to Pat Robertson and his failed presidential campaign? |

Yeah, well, until the dems figure it out they are going to be consistantly outvoted by the people who come to the polls to vote for the latest anti-gay ammendment.

This is even more ironic. You've actually bought the Republican propaganda-machine's talking points.
So you see, it's the other way around Snake. You're the one, who by your lack of critical thinking, has been forced to think 'alike'. The difference is that Bush and co. has done this covertly, by manipulation and not brute force.

I think he does, and don't like what he sees. You say that you're libertarian, but you agree and defend most neo-con talking points and actions which is quite opposite of libertarian politics.
I only wish to see you being honest enough to admit to yourself that you are a neo-con, and not libertarian. |

IN the beginning, this site had a good idea and one would think to that purpose, thoughts and opinions could be discussed openly without personal remarks. Oh well!
Dave, unless you are one of the originators of this site but using a disguised name (and I'm sure you are not) then I have not met you and you know nothing about me. Don't pretend that you do. |

What the hell is a 'neo-con'? And what have I defended? I hardly ever defend much so I don't know what you are talking about there either.
I really would like to know, so don't think this sounds sarcastic. |

What I know about you is from what you've written here, including your remarks to GeeMack and myself which show you're a hypocrite at best, and a lunatic at worst. If you're masquerading as someone you're not, it's not my duty to guess, nor is it my problem, Norma. It's yours. |

But Snake, you said, "At least Bush has some creditability." Either you were being ironic, or you haven't been paying any attention to all the lies and deceptions perpetrated by George W. Bush and his cohorts over the past five years. Credibility (or creditability for that matter) is one thing he simply doesn't have. And where you are surely entitled to your own point of view, and believe me I'd be the last one to try to revoke that option, if you develop that point of view from a position of ignorance, you can be certain people are going to call you on it from time to time. Buck up.

This quiz tagged me as "Liberal," and correctly so, I think. If you take it, would you care to tell us how it rates you, Snake?
Not having the time to read through all of it I quickly choose what seemed closest to my opinion. Which was very difficult since almost none of the choices fit anything I'd do. One I didn't/couldn't even answer, nothing was right. But I love taking those quizzes as meaningless as they are.
It said liberal on mine too. So whatever one wants to make of that, there you are.
Thanks for explaining all that slang from the previous post. Wish people wouldn't keep 'inventing' new expressions. It would be easier if one said ideas in real words. |

Dave, you are not very perceptive. Don't worry, you are in a group with a lot of others that don't understand much either, and don't try. There are a lot of different people in the world, not everyone can or will agree. And they don't have to. Some just need to be a little more calm about it. Thank you. |

Whatever you say, Norma. Everything you wrote appears to be meaning-free to me, because what we were talking about wasn't agreement, but instead irony (and then hypocrisy after your vicious attack). If you want to ensure that other people don't understand you, you have succeeded in at least one case. |

I hate to look like I'm piling on here, but Snake, you ain't been keepin' track, hon..... I'm more astonished than appalled.
Any read of G.W. Bush's history, up to and including his most recent, will clearly demonstrate that what we have here is unique. Never before has such a person led this country. He is a hard lesson in who not to chose for a leader.
If he were only stupid, or lazy, or merely incompetent and dishonest, that wouldn't be so bad. We've had those before, as have other democratic nations. But he is all of these things and more. He cheerfully admits that he doesn't read much; he spends more time on vacations than any other president in memory; he is a snivveling toady to anyone wealthier than himself; he is a serial liar and not a very good one in spite of his vicious streak; and everything he has ever touched has turned to shit, including his family as evidenced by the actions of his daughters.
Of course, there are lots of people like him, but the unfortunate part of it all is that he leads this country, the most powerful in the world, and that world knows him for what he is and hates to see him coming. They put up with him only because of his office and the power that he inherited with it.
Credibility? He has none beyond those whose own agendas would profit from him, and who would slit his fucking throat as soon as he was no longer useful, figuritivly one hopes......
He had a lot of credibility with everybody (except me, but I hate Bushs on principle) just after 911, but he blew that when he blatantly lied his/our, and Halliburton's way into Iraqnam.
Do research him, Snake. It might be a revelation....
