Welcome to Gaia! ::


I've decided it's time to put some involuntary money in Kazuma's mouth, so let's discuss the state of online political discourse here on Gaia. The O'Reillys, Hannitys, Begalas, and Carvilles may dominate pigeonholing on America's airwaves, but are things even worse here on Gaia? Do we even top out the so-called "big blogs" like Little Green Footballs, Right Wing News, Democratic Underground, FreeRepublic, and the (now-defunct) JohnKerry.com forum?

Where right-wingers are concerned, it's a resounding "yes." Gaia's conservatives seem far more prone to mindless strawman-battle, pigeonholing, and hatred. From accusing Michael Moore and John Kerry of treason, to portraying liberals as "anti-American" or "hating America," there's some particularly nasty right-wing groupthink associated with ED Politics. This includes conspiracy theories about liberal Gaians, poor attempts at stalking liberal posters, and even sharing fantasies of physical violence against other ED Politics members.

Some of these fine armchair pundits will resent being quoted (with responses like "that was only supposed to be read in private," or other various distracting tactics), I'd hate to continue without genuine material. And besides, people're more genuine when they think they're alone or in private, right?

The source? I give you a "Best of Kazuma's Roughnecks" sample, all taken from discussions in Gaia's largest right-wing guild:

Danjel and Shem are not one in the same, nor are they in cahoots.


I don't believe you.


In a topic titled 'Moron Parade!', Kid Nasty
While perusing the parade of foolish people at Sorry Everybody, I thought up a fun game! Choose a picture of a sorry liberal, and make a humorous caption for the photo!

[5 pages of this follows, and is still going]


Game Phreak Zero
Yeah we need to win the election so we can appoint Supreme Court Justices and declare danjel and Angsty unconstitutional.


the_catman2003
It's people like this that piss me off the most. People who are so blinded by their beliefs that they will believe anything as long as it's good for themselves. In this case good for the Liberals.

It's people like this and the Michael Moores of the world that need a good a** kickin.

the_catman2003
ahhh maybe I went too far [with my signature image stating that peace advocates will end up dominated by communists]?
Wow, I've never seen a signature more trite or culturally ignorant, to say nothing of blithely insensitive and antagonizing.

I've literally never had one come this close to making me vomit.

Congrats!
Nah, she [Duchess Ilpalazza]'s just hyper-sensitive in her liberal viewpoint. The truth hurts...your response was on the mark. She just doesn't like it pointed out to her the logical progression of this appeasement crap...


ilyanep
Where is it Bush's fault that 9/11 happened? Bush had 8 months, Clinton had 8 years to see this coming. He was told about the increasing amount of arabs who were only learning to take off. What did he do? He went off and had sex with Monica.


ShiroKarasu
I've been slowly trying to stir crap up but I get ignored...surprise, surprise!

The thing that really torches me about all this boo-hooing from the left over Iraq is the plain simple fact that the terrorists will NOT leave us alone, and 8 years under that whoring sob Clinton made them think that they could come on in and take over like they are doing in France.

All the snot-noses that are bleating on about the war on terror weren't even alive when our troops in Beriut were attacked, or even when Iran started up it's nonsense! Maybe they all need to go read some real history instead of the revisionist pap the Left has managed to shove down them.


german_bar_wench
Kazuma
[The left in ED-Pol] is sad, pathetic, intellectually bankrupt, and completly lacking in relevence... And has become all too common among the left and others these days in ED Politics IMHO. I am more and more finding less interesting conversation to partake in and instead find myself slogging through pathetic attempts to change the subject. Are they so intellectually bankrupt that all they have to stand on is "Bush does it too" tactics?

I object to your claim that it's all to common "among the left these days in ED Politics". That portrays them as being different from the rest of the left. In reality the entire left is that way now. Here's a few examples.

Q: Why do you think that murdering the unborn is ok?
A: But...but...what about womens' rights?

Q: Why did Bush get a bounce and Kerry did not from their respective Conventions?
A: Well, that's just...Look! I found an MS Wor....er....Memo from 1972 about George W. Bush! From 30 years ago, same time period we're campaigning on!

Q: The War on terror has so far freed the Iraqi people, toppled the Taliban in Afghanistan, built a coalition of 30+ nations. How can you claim it was Unilateral Action?
A: It didn't include our current friends, like France, and our traditional friends, like Germany...
Q: Oh, the same France that was selling arms to Hussein, and the same Germany who...
A: Now wait just a darn minute! What has France ever done to us? We should worship the ground they walk on, because they're snooty and arrogant, and have no regard for the US. They must know better than us...

Q: We all want to reduce dependence on foreign oil, right?
A: Right!
Q: Alright, then! let's go drill in a football-field-sized part of Alaska...
A: But that'll ruin a pristine wasteland! And it'll kill the carabou!
Q: You do realize Carabou are animals, not plants, right? I'll bet they could make it a football field's length away in a matter of minutes, even seconds if they were feeling frisky.
A: But that displaces the carabou still...and displacing things is wrong.
Q: Do you live in a house?
A: Yeah, but that's completely different!

Naturally there is some mild exaggeration in that, but it's really exemplary of how the Left has been operating in the past several years. Ever since Clinton beat Dole, it's become ever more blatant. I don't know if it's just the ignorance the Internet draws out of people, or if the party's real base has turned into a bunch of crackpots, but either way the left has just gotten downright ridiculous.


ShiroKarasu
Very true! My personal belief is that the Left, particularly in this neck of the woods, has been too busy with the sex-drugs-rocknroll lifestyle too long to have learned anything about how our political processes work. It also, in my mind at least, explains their inability to have rational discourse on any political subject.


ShiroKarasu
[That staged photo of the Republican father with his daughter on his shoulders, holding a Bush-Cheney sign ripped up by his own son] is truly appalling! It just goes to show how inhuman the rabid left can be...and the culprit [who turned out to be his son posing as a Democratic rally attendee] still standing there smirking!!


ShiroKarasu
So, anyone want to hazard a guess as to how it is that Shem took posts from this thread to bludgeon our side with? Is this not a private guild? It would seem we have no safe haven...


ShiroKarasu
But the fact of the matter is that the arrogant little whelp dragged both of us out to hang us out to dry, and it royally pissed me off! I don't take that sort of petty cowardice at all, especially from someone with an ax to grind like he does. I don't plan to revisit the thread--best off that way to ensure that I don't blow a fuse--but I couldn't sit back and let you take all the pounding they were handing out. I may not have done much to defuse the situation, honestly didn't want to, but I had my say. As for our 'lovely' friend dj, bring him on, I've been needing a head to chew off...


ShiroKarasu
Hmm...let's see...*sharpening blades as she thinks*...not yet, but I have some modicum of satisfaction. At least he shouldn't be able to come in here and do that again, which was more important to me that dressing him down for his reprehensible act.

Um...yeah, I'm still mad...still using 'big'words...


german_bar_wench
They aren't necessarily terrorists unless they're muslims. If I found a bunch of christians in a cave in the middle east I'd just assume they were on the defensive.


ShiroKarasu
Okay, now I'm hacking away in a 'Gays in the military' thread. Having ex-military all around me, I know why the military doesn't want them, and the military is not required to be a reflection of our society, but the blasted libs just don't get it!! GAH!!!! stressed


Game Phreak Zero
danjel once agains proves he is stupid (and I found out that isn't Ad Hominem..) After being told by HaloHaley that morale was high...as she is currently stationed there, he still proceeds to disagree with her. Even though he is disagreeing with a fact...


Game Phreak Zero
[To HaloHaley, who falsely claimed to be in Iraq] I'm ok...hope you are doing alright. Keep fighting the good fight over there (I assume from what you've said you are still stationed in Iraq). We continue to combat the liberals on Gaia who are defeatist.


chucklenut
hahaha like last year, em and a few friend sof mine went to an anti-war protest and with the intent of doing nothing but being 100% pure grade a assholes, we held up signs like bombs over bahgdad, and kill them all, and lets do lets nuke Iraq


Kid Nasty
I HATE JON STEWART!!

I hate him. I hate the pompous little liberal blowhard so much I could spit blood. I hate how his show is basically Liberal Propaganda Happy Half-Hour. I hate how people excuse the disgustingly shallow and biased news analysis by saying "It's just a joke" or "It's satire". I hate how his inane little show is the media darling that it is. I hate how people say that he's "equal opportunity" or "non-partisan" when he maybe has one joke at the expense of a liberal every show, and how the liberal-centered jokes are never about any actual liberal policies or ideas. It's always "Man, Bush is a liar and/or royally screwed up" for ten minutes and "Kerry is boring and/or Edwards is boyishly cute" for two minutes. "Non-partisan" my left buttcheek. I hate how he casually insults conservatives like Neil Cavuto, Bill O'Reilly, Mike Wilson, etc. with totally irrelevant and stupid jokes. I hate how his audience laughs like maniacs, claps, and whistles at every "Bush is stupid" joke and remains as silent as the grave during the extremely rare "Kerry is boring" joke.

I'm sorry if anybody likes the Daily Show around here. But I just got really worked up reading the girly love-fest that is going on over in EDP.


chucklenut
he seems like the stuck up batsard in your school with rich parents and since hes suppose to be "popualr" and joke he makes your suppose to laguh at, while in reality he never was funny to begin with


Game Phreak Zero
I really hope that is a doctored image....if not I say we go hunting for liberals (joking...hunting is for animals...and I don't want to insult them by comparing them to garbage)


chucklenut
wait, you were joking [about hunting for liberals]?


hahaha yes ummm *puts down camo cap and belt of ammo*


ShiroKarasu
I think it shows a lack of conviction on the part of the left. Look at the tactics they plan to employ to get their boy in the Big chair...lawyers lined up, voter intimidation already starting, disenfranchised voters, threats of riots...what next? We've already heard that paralyzed folks are going to get up and walk when Kerry wins...how much bull crap do we have to tolerate...?


Game Phreak Zero
I think Republicans are the party of values, morality, and compassion. Alot of folks say "The Democrats care" I think they only fake caring if it benefits them...just look at how they stumble over religous issues.


chucklenut
i think its funny personaly [a couple of random kids throwing a pie at Ann Coulter], it just proves liberals cant make good arguments, or jokes, pies havent been funny since i stopped watching bugs bunny


Noble_Scarlet
I hate hearing liberals who say that if Bush were re-elected, the draft would be reinstated...to the age of 14! What dumbasses! Where did Bush ever say that? I hate it when the liberals media makes up crap. scream


german_bar_wench
You know, this really reveals why the Left doesn't view al Qaeda as seriously as the Right does. Much like al Qaeda, the Left thinks anybody who disagrees should be silenced and destroyed. Meanwhile the Right merely realizes that if they're going to disagree with us they should at least check their facts and then get said facts straight before they try. And then if they try to kill us we remove them. Period.


german_bar_wench
Less Than Liz
I am tired of people asking the stupid question like "why are they hidden?"

Just tell the truth. "Because Shem's a corrupt and underhanded ********]

Kid Nasty
The political Left in America is not very tolerant of dissension in the ranks. Just look what they said about Zell Miller. Admittedly, Zell was provoking them, but it is indicative, I think, of the political Left when immediately afterward they denounce him as a southern racist bigot. Meanwhile, you've got Republicans left and right criticizing Bush, and nobody's attacking them. I don't know why, but it just seems to me that the Left is less able to deal with criticism than most of the Right. Granted, the Bush Administration's way of dealing with a lot of criticism is usually to ignore it, but that's better than demonizing someone, isn't it?


Ayuta
That pretty much sums up what type of people were debating against. How many time on the Election sticky have I had some smug lib try to avoid argueing with me by claiming I make "strawman posts". You know you're losing when you are arguing about debating styles rather then issues. And what is a "strawman post" anyway?


Kid Nasty
You know what word I'm tired of? "Homophobia", and its derivatives, "Homophobe" and "Homophobic". Literally, "Fear of the same", or "fear of gay people". It's Politcally Correct to label anyone opposed to gay marriage as a "Homophobe", someone who is "Homophobic". Let's get something straight. I'm not afraid of gay people. I don't know anybody who is. I've heard people who are gay that don't believe in gay marriage. If anyone is against any part of the radical gay agenda, suddenly, they must be frightened, scared people who want to kill all homosexuals. I've heard people who say that they expect president Bush to set up concentration camps for gay people, and all sorts of crazy ideas, simply because he is against gay marriage. Can we call this a witch hunt? Because it sounds like a witch hunt to me.


Patton
I would like to thank the Democrats for re-electing Bush. Your supreme effort at drawing in the voting public, your abject hatred for a reasonably kind man, and your running around Main Street America acting like you really aren't the elitist snobs you really are...you gave most of those people who usually don't give a fig whether their Republican candidate wins a renewed sense of self. With your blustering that the supreme court stole the last election, you made up your soft, cushy minds that you would never lose another close-fought election. And with your attempt to insult every common decency held by religious and secular Republicans, you succeeded. And for good measure, you even tore your own bedrock minority vote assunder to search for just a few votes.


Patton
So, in closing, I wish to thank John Kerry, John Edwards, Bruce Springstein, Michael Moore and all the other Bush-hating, America-bashing love muffins. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and God Bless America!


Baudlaire (Sere Mudou)
Moore is a treasonist jackass, too bad he wont get deported. Him and that "MTV" crowd. I want to start an organization called STFU and sing. we do pay singers for their political views, If I pay for a concert I expect music, not an opportunity for political slander. Its a shame that many people seem to be spoon fed by the media then turn around and claim themselves "free thinkers".


Baudlaire (Sere Mudou)
The majority of the liberals here have been hateful, vindictive people. Their line of thinking is if you dont believe what they believe then not only are you wrong but it gives them license to treat you like garbage merely for being a conservative. To add further insult to intelligence then they turn around and say THEY are the ones who have been biased against. These are the same people that say Bush has to reach out? Reach out for what? I see a lot of narissistic disorders here.


ShiroKarasu
As for the ferocity with which the liberals here attack anyone who doesn't agree with them, I can do nothing but agree. And, as you know, I have been a target in the past, and feel that their 'pack' mentality does nothing but make them look even more like the animals they resemble...


Game Phreak Zero
Proof the liberal left hates America. This isn't Shem or danjel calling our military "******** idiots" this is Dakai...someone who is supposedly a respectable liberal.

It is also noteworthy that they are taking the terrorists side.


Jaynis
Oh man the ******** Vietname-esque liberal hippy Anti-American babble being spouted out in ED-P is making me sick. These idiots are salivating at the chance to burn our soldiers at the stake and make Iraq the new Vietnam. Does their anti-American hate rhetoric know no bounds?!


ShiroKarasu
And keep in mind that most of those folks weren't even born yet when we pulled out of Vietnam, so they are getting the diatribe from Mommy and Daddy. No original thought of their own...

edit: or they've watching 'Apocalypse Now' or other such venomous tripe and believe it to be a factual portrayal...which was far from the truth.

There's this one girl particularly, and if you read the whole thread on how the terrorists are justifiable for the 9-11 attacks, you'll know who I'm talking about, who absolutely gets on my nerves! stressed I mean, how can a person be so STUPID?!!! How can someone actually sit in front of their computer and rant and rave about how we're stuffing innocent kids into metal sheds and leaving them to die in the middle of the dessert? Where the ******** did that come from? She completely pulled THAT one out of her a**! And then she goes on to talk about how MM's 9-11 movie was truthful and that I'd "really know what was going on if I watched it." WTF?!!!

I'm SO angry! scream

SO ANGRY!!! scream

SO ANGRY!!!!!

scream scream scream scream scream scream

Looking at what they quote as being historical fact, and their general lack of knowledge, I believe those children to be not only sorely lacking in education, but also victims of the 'dumbing down' of our kids. The Left has been working on this for decades now. Don't take their mad ravings to heart....


Bob Dobbs (Sere Mudou)
this blame the victim attitude is heartless and a classic example of liberal kiddies acting as if they know what liberalism is even about. Ask them to explain Mccarthyism to you, ask them if they know the details leading up to Hilters rise in power. Ask them to give you specific answers what liberals believe in. Ask them something, I bet they shift the subject or give a non answer.

Why is it that Barbara Boxer, State Rep from CA can legally do Insider trading, and its ok for government workers to "insider trade" yet Martha stewart is sitting in jail for it? is it because she doesnt have a government job? because she isnt giving blowjobs to a senator? or because the law applies only to us and not those who make the law?

OMG, let's lynch the woman!!! At least then she wouldn't be a CA representative, the psycho liberal biznitch!!!


Kyoushi_HaraHara
I HATE BARBARA BOXER!

I once had a nightmare, and Something bad happened; and it was her fault.


Patton
Well, I have finally had it. The Democratic Party has forced through a debate on the Ohio vote...something tantamount to a vote of no confidence in the Bush Administration. They dare to say that the popular vote doesn't count and the Electoral College counts...the exact opposite of what was implied four years ago. And, like four years ago, this farce is led by a California Democrat. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein have humiliated me with their blind obstructionism. Even though I didn't vote for either candidate, I feel a sense of being dishonored for being Californian...something I have never felt before, and something I will hate the Democrats forever for making me feel. I thought being Californian was a good thing, but now I know my state is led by loons. I only hope Governor Schwarzenegger's efforts to reform California meet with success. I may not be living in California to see this glorious impossability, but I can always hope.

I am also tempted to make an "I'm sorry, President Bush" picture if I didn't feel it would dishonor my sensabilities more. I'm sorry it is California that is about to attempt to lambast a truly honorable man.

May the Boxer Rebellion burn in a Hell most exquisite.

The UN is a worthless piece of crap! They could care less if America was involved and we should be angry at them if anything.


ShiroKarasu
It's understandable to want to defend yourself, but that was his entire purpose, and the rest just jumped on the bandwagon. It's not a 'Lixnia Hate Club'....it's a conservative hate club and they circle about watching for anyone of conservative leaning that they think might be weak enough to take down. I equate them to a pack of hyenas...they will not take us one as a whole. The best they can manage is to try to pick us off one at a time with hit-and-run tactics, and gloat when they feel superior. Just my opinion..


Bob Dobbs (Sere Mudou)
Its not even really about being a conservative, its about anyone who doesnt agree with them and kow-tow. For a group that promotes itself to be for peace and acceptance they sure know how to hate and be intolerant.
For example, the teacher that allowed demeaning letters to be sent to the soldiers from his 6th grade class? That the was was bad and how did they feel about Bush lying and blah blah <insert retarded anti, hateful rhetoric here>. Most teachers are liberals and give the kids this *Whaa whaa I hate bush he's anti gay and isnt a hypocrite like I am* crap every day, isnt that a little like brainwashing?


Bob Dobbs (Sere Mudou)

Bob Dobbs, In 'Anti-Americanism' topic
anyone else watching tonights special? its really disturbing.
I remember seeing a pic someone made that showed the treasonistic Moore and underneath, "yes kiddies its cool to hate america" I also read that their was an asassanation attempt on bush. I feel something big is coming up, kinda scary,but it makes me wonder.


Game Phreak Zero
-sigh- when I read "assasination atempt" after Moore...I got excited. I hope nothing bad happens to President Bush....

Hmm...someone tried to assassinate Moore? Not gonna happen because he's already killing himself. Maybe he should watch an elightening documentary entitled, Super-Size Me!.

Also did anyone read on Yahoo! last week that Moore is going to make a part-two to his lying 9-11 film? Does this a** ever stop!? scream

It's popular to hate America and conservatism as a whole...and that's just not right. Not right...

This is proof that you can be legally treasonistic in America. In any other country he wouldnt have gotten this far, its part of the reason that other countries think we are a joke. Now that this gentle giant is defending itself people are offended and pissing their pants.


Elaric
I dont know if you people have been paying attention to the washington govenors race but the end result is that Dino Rossi (GOP) has won the election, but do you know how many votes he won by? He won by a whopping 42 votes! Which is like one onethousands of a percentile. Obviously the democrats are asking for a recount which will cost us washatonians more money. They already recounted before, anitially Rossi won in the first place by like 214 votes which is also a very small margin. This is the closet govenors race in the history of the united states so I thougt that it deserved a forum. So post anything in relation to the washington state Govenors race. Here is a question for you, If THe democratic candidate won then would she be elected that doesnt seem fair as the republican already won twice before.

Formic
I am from washington, and have been following the race as well. Rossi won- the first time. And the second time. Yet- we must count again, a third time. How is it, that people can believe that a second or third time is more accurate? Would it not be even more prone to loss of ballots and possible fraud? Plus; you find that every time a recount is done, the votes edge in the favor of the Democrats. Is this because we were so good at supressign the votes the first time, and are sipping, or is it because more ballots are being counted than were initially cast?


stalebsicuit
democratic campaign slogan

"when in doubt, RECOUNT!"


Elaric
They [Democrats] never find it hard to be underhanded and sneaky

Here is an update for you guys!

-Christine Gregoire has found enough money to recount again thats for the second time but this time it will be by hand so it will take longer and this recount will be less accurate! Even if she won it wouldnt be fair I mean you lose twice and win once and Rossi would have won twice and lost once I always thought it was best two out of three? Although this is just a scenario, in the meantime GO Rossi!!!


Prettz3003
If she loses again, I am going to LAUGH and LAUGH.

Rossi is going to clean house WHEN he finially gets in office.


Prettz, later that month
It got stolen.

I weep for my state.

Dino Rossi needs to pull the same s**t, you cannot be nice to the Liberalpalozza when they cheat like this. If she does get smart and request this how much ya wanna bet Lib's will cry "unfair"?


In topic 'Is the Democratic Party Dying', Noble_Scarlet
With far left-wingers such as Clinton and Gore, it'll never die. crying


Kid Nasty
I don't think that the Democratic party is dying. I think that radical leftism is dying. And unless the Democratic party can grab hold of the life preserver of moderation embodied by the likes of Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller, the party is going to crash and burn. But even if that happens, I think that someone will show up and either make a new party or act like Moses and lead the Dems out of slavery to radical leftism and into the promised land of the mainstream.


Elaric
As long as this country continues to have such radical left wing ideals then the democratic party will continues but it may not always be the democratic party were against.

Until now, I've never respected Kerry. But in conceding when he knew loss wans inevitable, I have to say that it's the truest and best thing he's done in the last several months.


german_bar_wench
you know, I wonder if sending Edwards out s**t-faced last night was an attempt to make Kerry look better conceding this morning

[It was later revealed later that week that Elizabeth Edwards had been diagnosed with cancer.]


ShiroKarasu
As for my comment about Edwards' condition when he gave his speech, I honestly think the man should not have been sent out. I've seen him speak before, and he seemed way out there and way out of character! I do not stereotype all Democrats as pot-smoking hippies, although in CA most of them are, and was not implying that he was. In my experience, behaviour so radically altered is usually alcohol and/or pot combined--had an ex-husband who was very fond of that combination. I'm not blowing smoke out my arse! I'm speaking from experience...
Patton
I really expected Kerry to contest it. After all the Bush-hating hysteria, I thought Kerry's backers would be forcing him to contest...even contesting the 51% stare . I respect Kerry, didn't used to but now I do...but I always thought the lawyers would make this election a shamble.

But now Bush is in and my dreams are fulfilled ^_^ hopefully those who promised to move to Canada will now follow through

To quote Ann Coulter when asked if the War in Iraq is right:

Q: Is it right, the Iraqi conflict?

A: No, it's wrong. The rabid savages who are fighting American troops should give up immediately.


Bob Dobbs
Your post sounds logical and I adore Ann Coulter. War is nessessary but it should only be considered when trying to mediate the situation has been unsuccessful. if it has then War has to be. Continually blaming Amerca for all the evils in the world only serves to further hatred and strife and also gets us nowhere. People are allowed to disagree with american policies and the government however if all it is is criticism and whining it then crosses the line over to Anti-Americanism.
The truth is they cant suggest something that wont whore America out or cause other countries to view America as weaker than they see it now.
Homeland security is a joke, and we arent supposed to defend ourselves when other countries hurt us? thats sick disturbed thinking.

FUN FACTS ABOUT DEMOCRATS

* Democrats chose the donkey as their symbol because the Democrat base smells as bad as one and has the same verbal skills. In the donkey's defense, it's smart enough to understand a butterfly ballot.

* Democrats are big into class warfare. They also are for gun control which has caused the deadliest firearms to be too expensive except for the rich to buy. So, if class warfare ever goes to blows, it won't last long.

* Though there are more registered Democrats, they don't vote as much as Republicans percentage-wise because of their tendency to be distracted by shiny things.

* Democrats have lost most of the men's vote because they're a bunch of girlie men. Don't tell them that, though, because they'll cry.

* Democrats are always trying to get into your wallet to spend money on their wacky ideas. If you see a Democrat near your wallet, hit him on the head with a rolled up newspaper. You have to catch him in the act or he'll never learn.

* While the Democratic leadership is currently devoid of any real leadership or substance, they may try and make up for that with important-looking hair.

* Some Democrats may have served in Vietnam. You can find out which ones by seeing who tells you that fact over and over and over.

* And over and over and over.

* Many Democrats intensely hate Bush because it's easier than confronting the irrelevancy of their ideas. It�s funny to dump a bucket of cold water on them and hear them blame Haliburton.

* If your plagued by Democrats, they can be scared away with snakes, guns, or concepts of individual responsibility.

* Bill Clinton, who cost the Democrats their majorities in the House, Senate, and Governorships while he was president, is still venerated by Democrats because... uh... I guess they're just frick'n retards.

* Democrats will often visit maternity wards and shake their fists angrily at all those who escaped the wrath of choice.

* Democrats are secretly trying to destroy capitalism. If you see a Democrat near capitalism and looking suspicious, immediately report him to the police.

* In a fight between Democrats and Aquaman, Aquaman would be slurred by an NAACP ad that links him to lynching.

* The Democrats have built a giant statue in tribute to Michael Moore which eyes glow red, shoots fire out of its a**, and constantly demands tributes of ham.

* Or maybe that is just Michael Moore wearing a gray sweat suit. Whatever it is, don't let it fall on you because it's heavy.

* The foreign policy ideals of the Democrats involved waiting for the might France to approve anything they plan on doing. This should allow them to snap into action about the time half the earth is destroyed by radical Islamists.

* Every time someone votes for a Democrat, baby Jesus cries.

The conclusion is inescapable: that Kerry lied by reporting to the Navy that he had been wounded by shrapnel in his backside from an enemy mine when in reality he negligently wounded himself and then lied about the wound in order to secure a third Purple Heart and a quick trip home.

Most of the voters in California (read: urban liberals, who make up a large portion of the voters) are completely out of touch with reality. Another large chunk are hispanics who don't give a rat's arse about security.

Mods can see the guild. Danjel will surley delete it and the links and everything. He does a hell of a job covering his tracks and the other mods scratch his a**.


german_bar_wench
Am I the only person who happened to notice that Danjel locked and cut loose the old election sticky where at the end Bush was recieving favorable posts, and replaced it with Shem's newer post in which naturally things weren't going nearly so well for Bush?


ShiroKarasu
My husband and I were discussing John Kerry's so-called military record and got on the subject of the treatment of Vietnam vets upon returning home. My husband was a first-hand witness to the vile treatment those men got. They would come in at Travis AFB and then go into San Francisco to catch bus or train on home. Protestors would line the route armed with rotten fruit or feces, but the men and the police were told to do nothing. These men were treated worse than the most heinous felon.

Now, here's the real sickening part of the discussion. The whole reason for this inhumane treatment was the testimony before Congress of one John Kerry, describing atrocities (that later were found to be untrue), and claiming our soldiers to be monsters.

Yeah, my husband remembers John Kerry for the traitor he truly is, not the war hero he has remade himself into...of course, the left will not even face up to the fact that he was only in Vietnam for four months--went on his medal collecting spree, and went home.


german_bar_wench
Let's also not forget the POWs who were beaten senseless because of Kerry's testimony that they were war criminals.


ShiroKarasu
Yes, the POWs were also part of the discussion. Between Kerry and Jane Fonda, we are fortunate those boys made it home, and even then no longer completely sane! The people responsible, namely Kerry and Fonda, should be begging those men for forgiveness, although some cannot bestow forgiveness since they are no longer with us. crying

And I can see him seriously putting the Navy Cross on his site. After all, the masses are blind enough to believe his lies, no matter how blatant.

Kerry's whole trip to Vietnam was a propaganda tour from day one. He was filming re-enactments of his escapades and collecting medals for scratches that he put in for, not his commanding officer. He spent four months setting himself up to be a hero later. What scum!! stressed


ShiroKarasu
As far as I can tell, considering that I can't stand to listen to the man [John Kerry] and his whining voice, he has some serious deep-seated issues. I think he is delusional, and that he figures he's got it in the bag. He is building his campaign on a pack of lies, and I'm just waiting for his house of cards to come down!


Kazuma
Isn't it interesting that there are certain people on Gaia which will shrilly demand proof but when a right-leaning person demands accountabilty and proof they get slammed down for being "unfriendly"?

GBW got banned by Danjel today for posting she would take Hitler over the UN any day. Figures.


Dubyamn
1. Kerry will continue the effective strategy started by LBJ in which he sends thousand more troops to a war while saying how the war is wrong and we will not be able to win the war.
2. We need a man like Kerry as president for the war on terror. He will fight the terrorists with the skill and drive that only a self claimed war criminal could possess.

This tactic isn't anything new for the left-leaning hordes...they usually decide to leave right after they've been dealt a blow...if winning debates earned the two sides points...we'd have more even with our limited numbers. They are the Iraqi Army-more troops...we are the Americans-swifter movements, better equipment, and better training. I think it is a rare thing to find a topic when sabers have met and the Right has not been right.


ShiroKarasu
Ran across something very interesting...

In one thread about the morale situation in Iraq, Shem claims to be in [redacted]:

Quote:
* A jab at another ED Politics user who claimed to be "looking outside her tent" in Iraq, when it was revealed upon IP check that said user was actually in the 'States. Most ED-Pol users are well aware that I'm in [redacted], so my saying "I'm outside my tent there right now" was a blatant joke.


Then he starts a thread about his ballot:

http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4105630

Made me stop and think...wonder which is correct...hmm...


ShiroKarasu
german_bar_wench
That's consistent with my thought that Shem and Danjel are one and the same...

Considering what he said in the ballot thread, he is here. No mistaking it...you want to verify it?

I'm convinced at this point...


ShiroKarasu
HEWHOKNOWSALL
Shem claims to be a U.S. citizen that is now in [redacted] because he recently inherited property there [this is incorrect]. This would allow him to vote absentee.


Interesting...and how long will he be allowed to do that?

And that would back the theory that Danjel and Shem are one and the same...


ShiroKarasu
Kid Nasty
Why would it matter if they [Shem and Danjel] were [the same person]?


It would matter because if they are, in fact, one and the same, we are still subject to the predations of Shem through Danjel. As I understand it, the guild is not hidden from moderators. Shem has proven his lack of scruples already...


german_bar_wench
And it would also mean that Danjel has a flamebait-mule who he can use without tarnishing the "reputation" he seems to think his main account has. Shem has already proven that he is basically immune to moderation. This latest piece in the puzzle simply makes too much sense to rule it out as a simple "conspiracy theory" as the naive tend to do.


Game Phreak Zero
This does make a great deal of sense...I wouldn't call it a slam dunk....but it is possible that Shem and danjel are the same person.

if we discover the truth about Angsty Jel...trouble would follow for the ruling class...(well probably just danjel). BTW as an oldbie I do find it interesting that danjel doesn't have a halo...it would have been -extremely- cheap for him to pick one up, but he didn't. This isn't conclusive proof...but it adds to the amount of evidence.


Jaynis
Rumors are abound that Democrats are going to cry conspiracy theory on the computer votes.

Game Phreak Zero
Yeah the minorites are leaving the Democrats plantations...Democrats treat minorities like idiots (except when running for re-election) and expect them to support them. I read somewhere that the Dems had whites hold up a sign that said "Blacks for Kerry"...or something like that...to simulate African Americans I guess. Anyway as far as amnesty goes...Bush mentioned that and a Mexican cacus said "Dude...we don't want that"...so maybe the libs are a dying breed...if they are...I say the world has enough slugs...leave liberals off the endangered species list.

Patton
Hi guys, I have funny news. I felt conciliatory today and tried to suggest how the Democrats should change, because if they remain on their current path of liberal obstinance, they'll sink their own ship. I use a link the Democratic Leadership Council, where they discussed how to be more appealing to voters. The first post I get is kaophyre saying that centrism isn't the way to go...the path to victory is through becoming more liberal! I found that to be utterly looney. At least the old Clinton crowd is telling the DNC to change...if it was any other group, I'd have been lampooned for inciting. blaugh


ShiroKarasu
Scary when the Clinton crowd is pushing for the DNC to move towards the center...at least they understood that the average American would not be impressed by true socialistic liberalism.


ShiroKarasu
The fact that they are overlooking is that the pendulum of morals and values has swung further to the right, and they are not keeping up with the times. Even CA has become more conservative...I live in a pocket of conservativism just a few hours from Looney Central, i.e. San Flamingfrancisco, and the People's Republic of Berkeley, and there was quite a bit of support for the Prez...hardly any for Kerry.

I do believe quite strongly that the pendulum is swinging even further right because the people who are now new home owners, new parents, and the more politically active crowd are the tail end of the generation of children of the hippy generation--the "generation X" crowd. Many of those children, seeing the wreckage of their parents' lives, have decided to do things their own way and not follow their folks. The hedonistic lifestyle of their parents is not to their liking, and they are generally far more conservative as a result.

I frankly can't blame anyone for being disgusted with ED Politics. I frequently become disgusted about the way that subforum is handled.

I find myself more and more spending time in General Discussion because I find it less inhabited with outright liars such as danjel and kiironobara (the two on my s**t list right now, although danjel is pretty much a permenent member of said list).


ShiroKarasu
I know exactly how you feel. I keep doing the same thing...I go in and start reading, get sick to my stomach, and leave. I'm usually here or in another guild that I mod for now...very rarely say anything in EDP.

And Kazuma is very right, no pun intended! This is our safe haven...which is why Shem's little furative activity a while back steamed me so badly...this is a place where we can find reasonable discussion with like-minded folks. When you are sick of EDP, you can always come back here...I don't think there's a one of us that minds...

You know, it occurs to me how utterly intolerant Danjel/Shem/Xialoi/Shaloi are. They dont seem to be able to stand anyone different than them. If you have different beliefs they argue and throw flames and insults.

But getting back to the point, during lunch break a few of my friends and I held an impromptu inaugural celebration. It's the first dixie cup of cheap wine I've ever had in my life. Why dixie cups?

The only two who didnt vote for Rice were Barbra Boxer and John Kerry.

You mean that Feinstein actually voted for her...?? eek I am all astonishment!!


This vote was in the Senate Foreign Relations committee. Boxer sits on the committee so she had a vote but Feinstein doesn't sit on the committee so she did not have an opportunity to vote yet. Now that Rice has passed the Senate Foreign Relations committee endorsement it goes to the full Senate for confirmation.

Well, that explains it...and here I was, hoping beyond hope that maybe one of our senators might have actually grown a brain and a conscience...but, alas, it is not to be.... xp

Does this mean [Saddam] had WMDs

NYTIMES

or just the capacity to?


The capacity. There is still strong evidence that the WMDs were transported out through Syria before the war, too.


OneTinSoldier
If one could remember...

You know, way back to the beginning of this round of fighting, while we were still groveling in front of the United Nothing, we saw in video and in print, columns of trucks heading across the Syrian border.
Oh! But they were Russian trucks... so we could ignore those! And it was dropped. Nope! No WMD's there!
Hmmm... we know Sadam had them since there were tons of them inventoried in previous UN inspections... no record of thier destruction...hmmm... can't find them now... hmmm...the obvious conclusion... the logical conclusion... Sadam doesn't have any! No wait, lets project... he NEVER had them! Or so says the logic of the "lefties".

What's sad is, there are still going to be people insisting that the Iraqis are not interested in fighting the terrorists (or "insurgents" as the left likes to call them).

Some (many) liberals these days are so whipped up in a frenzy that they go over the top and act far less than intelligent. In these cases they are clearly wrong and need to be corrected. In those cases I have little qualms about being insulting in the process as long as I back it up with facts.

Actually, As the Star Trek franchise progressed, the storylines progressively became more steeped in realism. The liberal idealism of the United Federation of Panets found itself more and more having to deal with military conflict and challanges to its liberal idealism. Take DS9, one of my favorite ST worlds. The United Federation of Planets compromised its pacifist idealist solve-all-the-universes-problems-with-science-and-Liberal Institutionalism nature when forced to build purpose-built warships, such as the USS Defiant. The Defiant even compromised the legal principles of the Federation by being equiped with a cloaking device which was illegal for the Federation to operate...

Even the liberal idealist Star Trek was eventually forced to deal with the conservative realist world in the end. Even they couldn't hide from reality forever.

Gaia has taught me that Socialists, Communists, EUphiles, and those people who call themselves "liberal" but in actuality are just a warmed over versions of the previously mentioned, have a fear of The Economist magazine.

In a strawman 'debate practice' thread, 'debate practice: irAq waR sUxXors!,' SuperGumby
Felt like taking the initiative and post this as paper target for y'all to pounce on.

RED FORCE (oppostition) ARGUMENTS:
By invading and occupying Iraq, the coalition forces is effectively breaking down what delicate balance of power exists for that regions. The phrase "No man is an island" applies also to global politics in today's increasing interdependent world arena.

By invading Iraq, the coalition is in effect destroying two power balance that had allowed the world to stay in relative peace over the last few decades.

First point, the removal of saddam is a great upset of balance in the middle east region. Like it or not, the mostly secular Saddam is a permanent check on his more fundamentally minded neighbors. When he was removed from power, one can see an increased presence and surge in power for the islamic fundamentalists residing in Iraq. Shi'ite leader such as Muqtada Al Sadr forming a political/religious bond. Not to mention the relaxed border during the conflict allowed for fundamentalists from Iraq's neighboring countries to flood in amid the chaos. If the goal of the GWOT is truly on reducing the power and influence of terrorists.fundamentalist, haven't we in actuality created yet another battle ground for these who wish america ill? And the removal of the secular Saddam regime from power literally elimiates one of the theoratical fronts his fundamentalist neighbors envisioned facing?

Basing on the point mentioned above about islamic fundamentalists flooding and flourishing in Iraq, I would also like to point out that we have also created infinite oppurtunities for these men to do Americans harm. Namely, the american servicemembers who are in Iraq. Before the occupation, the US and it's people have a natural protection from these terrorists: Distance. Now we are literally delivering thousands of our citizens onto their doorstep where they needn't travel but a few miles to find an American to kill for their great jihad!

Point two, what the US did to invade Iraq drastically weakened it's international prestige, and threw a monkey wrench in the global balance of power. In the post cold war era, the balance of power between US and USSR has been replaced with US being the remaining superpower and a power vacumn of opposition that had no need to be filled. By taking such a drastic stance against it's traditional allies, US may have infact triggered a global demand for opposition against US policy. Now that US has flexed it's muscle as the sole superpower, I wouldn't doubt that many other nations are left with a distaste in their mouth. Now instead of working with the US, they may actively seek to shave US' power just to avoid a future incident like the Iraq war. This may give China a role as a viable alternative to US as both an economic and strategic partner for these countries.

Duowolf is a flat-out extremist, but I'm game for adding quotes. I didn't collect most of these myself, mind you, and I think Duowolf's a slightly newer user? As for Prettz, his arguments are weak, but at least there's no groupthink drama to the guy.

I'm just amazed, though, by the hypocrisy that develops through the internet. In ED-Pol everyone hears about "frenzied liberals," while right-wingers conduct themselves like this in private. It's amusing, almost nonsensically Freudian enough to creep me out.
as i recall

you were the one who created the right wing guild before we, the true right wingers, had a chance to get ours up in an effort to try and make us look bad and stupid so this isnt the first of your immature attacks. look kid you, b***h about us doing things that attack specific users and ideas and alot of it i must say is taken out of context.......but if anyone realy wants to know something, just type in leaning right guild

if angstey here is so opposed to us, why does he own the lgr? thats right he got his up to make us look bad before we had a chance to do anything about it, and to be frank i think his obvious hipocrisy here is to be honest just out and out funny, in true liberal fasion rather than argue the point he attacks the speaker

furthermore those comments were said in OUR guild, posting them in this arena is not only tasteless but what i think isa breach of common respect, the fact that we might not agree with each other is evident, but that doesnt mean we have to go and declare war on each other as you have just done. not only is it insulting, but moderates, conservative, and i would bet on it quite a few liberals would agree with me on the grounds that waht you are doing is uncalled for and LAME

frequenters of gaia ED-P, do not take this joke here seriously, if you want truth for yourself, just search for leanging right guild, then go to razaks roughnecks (the true leaning right guild)

I don't see the purpose of this topic, are you trying to stir-up things against conservatives? Correct me if I'm wrong...

"This is lame," "this was all posted in private," blah blah.

"Breach of common respect"? You're the second-most bigoted right-winger on Gaia behind german_bar_wench, and easily the dumbest. Granted, people can see what you say behind closed doors now, so I don't have to point it out for them.

Why I purchased all the political guilds on Gaia has already been covered in the past. That you all "resented" (or whatever) taking a "handout" from a liberal is y'alls own problem.

No, see, this topic was created because Kazuma essentially stated that the liberal guild was filled with extremist whackos. This is simply the response.
