The Oldiesfreak Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts III

I personally view climate change as inevitable and a good thing. I see as the Earth's way of correcting itself and balancing out. ex: Natural Population Control and Reduction in reaction to Overpopulation.

Yes (R; sane).  Gorbachev would have never made any of his reforms if Reagan hadn't pushed him to do it.

3 at best (Neoconfederate melts down in MS, Nunn wins, Landrieu holds on) or 0 at worst. If miracles did happen, it could be 4 (if we got a white to run against Uncle Tom Tim Scott).

You're either being an idiot/racist or a troll.  Scott would have no problem winning against any white Democrat.  You're deluded if you think that conservative whites are going to go for a democrat just because he/she is white.  You grossly misunderstand the situation.  If race is the reason 2010 was sort of close for Haley, ten why does she have over 70% approval with Republicans. 

Insults: a great way to make an argument, bro. I guess I shouldn't have expected better from a SC Republican.

If you're going to be casually racist, expect to be called out for it

There has not been one person who has explained how my comments were/are racist.

Calling a Black Man an Uncle Tom is very racist.  Anyone who has half a brain would know that.

We'll just have to disagree then. I view it as a technical term.

The Obamanation confirms himself as the forum's most obnoxious waste of oxygen with what is either a disastrously failed attempt at "humour" or particularly vile Nazi filth -

It's true, a scientific argument for pro-life is growing. Personally I'm mixed on the subject. I'm sure most people who get abortions are sluts that don't want to/can't handle children and want to keep sleeping around. That's not right.

Funny how LBJ haters seem to assume that 1) Vietnam was exclusively LBJ's doing, as opposed to a hot potato every US president (and before that, French PMs) had been passing over for the previous 20 years 2) things would have gone very differently with someone else in the White House, despite the fact his policies made consensus among the US political establishment at least until 1968.

He does deserve responsibility, as he REVERSED the policy which had been in place when he came into office (quiet withdrawal) with one of further engagement.

Krazen posting just to reaffirm his hackiness:

Great poll!

These good people are certainly not PPP.

In fairness, the poll was quite accurate.

Not that it makes Krazen any less annoying and proud of it.....

I'll be at a show in Fargo Friday.

It's in another suburb?

Fargo a suburb. LOL.

Um, not quite what Max said.

I'll be at a show in Fargo Friday.

It's in another suburb?

What, Fargo a suburb? Over 200 miles away and in a different state?

No, in a suburb of Fargo? Fargo is big enough to have suburbs.

Nice try. Though you did us all the service of posting this directly into the deluge, so....

Are there really that many fundies? Strange.

Is that what we are calling Christians, Jews, and Muslims now?



And 100% of Bibles say homosexuality is a sin.

So that math looks about right to me.  What am I missing here?

Where did Alfred suggest that all people of faith are fundies?

He is speaking in generalities and I am speaking in generalities.  Look at the math that was posted.  The OP says 51% of Americans think gay sex is immoral.  That is the majority of people with Judeo Christian beliefs.  That is not all but most.  In fact that is most of the people in the United States.

The thing is if you are above a certain age and spent time going to Bible study, Church or theological school you would know that it is not controversial within Judeo Christian beliefs to say homosexuality is a sin.  The Bible is pretty clear on that point.

The reaction by people in this thread is why we miscalculated Iraq and Afghanistan as well as a host of other places.  People ignore the ample evidence that conflicts with their desired version of reality.  If someone disagrees with them they dismiss them as crazies or "fundies."  People aren't even willing to do thoughtful realistic analysis of the cultural and religious aspects of America... how can they hope to understand places like Iraq or Afghanistan?

Reconciling the Bible and modern acceptance of homosexuality is a tough thing for the majority of Americans.  A bunch of adolescents sitting around and calling the majority of Americans "fundies" because they are struggling to reconcile their upbringing and culture with modern reality is the type of thing that makes me realize we really shouldn't go around messing with other countries.  If we are that ignorant about our next door neighbors lord knows what we don't know about cultures half way around the world.

Frankly I would have thought the percentage would have been higher.  My personal theory is people are beginning to know the right answer to these types of questions regardless of what is in their heart or mind.  Which isn't a bad thing.  It's a step on the road to détente.

What's bad about Link's post? Actually rather well thought out.

I'm sure most people who get abortions are sluts that don't want to/can't handle children and want to keep sleeping around. That's not right.

please diaf

OK, that was a bit harsh and uncalled for. I'll give you two options:

1) Try spending some time as a woman, see all the sh*t you go through every day, end up with an unwanted pregnancy for whatever reason, and find yourself discussing the possibility of an abortion. And then, let's see if you change your "views".

2) DIAF

And one of those reasons could be that she is a filthy slut. They don't want to be pregnant, just sleep around.

Or if she isn't a slut, then she made the wrong decision not to wait for marriage/a stable relationship.

Nothing like good 'ol slutshaming from a pro-lifer.

The Obamanation's 5236th failed attempt at being funny:

1939-1941: Freedom-Hating Oakvale gets a job smuggling weapons to Nazis

[King]

Homosexuality is much more prevalent in the African American community. Misssissippi, Louisiana and Georgia have the highest proportions of African American population. Montana has the lowest population of African Americans. Coincidence?

This is more of the same racism we saw in the Huffpo piece.

I think it's time for President Obama to ask for a Declaration of War against Russia

Why not simply nuking them?

I don't even.........................

Obama is an FF and Nixon is more liberal than Obama, so FF. His only real problems were Watergate and sabotaging the Halloween Peace, but other things make up for those.

Fought against Social Conservatism and rubery, FF.

I think Mr Pollo is just a troll trying to mock others and be funny.

It must be said he succeeds on both counts.

Let's not nuke anybody? I think that might be a good option.

Defending Fred Phelps:

You guys realize he hasn't been in charge of the WBC for several years now, right?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

He was never really a segregationist at heart; it was an attention-whoring phase he went through during the 60s. I suppose, in a way, he can be seen as an American Enoch Powell - not the monster he's often made out to be but still an HP overall.

[SWE]

The fact that you're an idiot and think that the fact that being Democratically elected more than twice makes you a dictator doesn't change the fact that you were dead wrong about Obama being the first incumbent to lose votes

Good. Term limits are worthless

Hahaha, I don't know if its just sad that you think this.  You do realize that dictators like Putin , Saddam Hussein, and Chavez all have "democratic elections" that they all someone won easily. 

At least you are proud to admit you are "pro-dictator" 

Congratulations to closet fascism.

Oldies put one of my posts in the deluge, that counts as two posts in the good post gallery, right guys?
