The Seriously? Theatre of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts V

[Joe Republic]

A few of my favorites are:

1. Destroying the best healthcare system in the world and lying about it ("If you like your plan, you can keep it")
2. Requiring federal funding of abortions, both in the US and abroad
3. Stifling the recovery by raising taxes on small business
4. Showing utter contempt for Israel
5. Emboldening America's enemies
6. Supporting rioters and rolling back race relations by 50 years
7. Wasting billions of "stimulus" dollars on unnecessary porkbarrel projects
8. Blaming George Bush for everything that goes wrong
9. Taking credit for Bush's accomplishments (Bailouts, capture/killing of Bin Laden, etc.)

and as all of America can agree, Oklahomans are not morons.

I have CrabCake on ignore, so I only see his stuff when people quote him.  ^^

Wow, I seriously can't believe Oakvale would seriously say something like that in all seriousness.  I'm seriously annoyed. 

[Joe Republic]

I have also long believed that CU has benefited liberals the most.  Soros and Steyer have significant more influence over our elections than the Kochs or Adelson

[Joe Republic]

LOL.  Which apocalyptic Dial-a-Deacon has Bushie been listening to this month?

[Joe Republic]

I am moderately embarrassed by the fact that Simfan exists.

Context, but it's bad enough without context.

This kind of revisionism out of PC sentiments is generally utter nonsense. I have no reason to assume it's different in this case.

In fairness, he did at least reverse himself once the facts were pointed out to him.  That's more than can be said for a lot of people around here, who often never show up in the thread again, or just stubbornly stick to their misfiring guns (which now I think of it, typically includes DavidB...)

It begins with a barracuda killing Nemo's mother and siblings, then has him kidnapped and taken to a strange place, then has Marlin and Dory being chased by sharks, then has them get stung by jellyfish, then has them swallowed by a whale.  To top it all off, Nemo and the others in the aquarium are tortured by a little girl.  If that's not scary, then I don't know what is.

Surprised nobody put these here yet:

Another attack by buddhist Norwegians. Gee, I wonder if it has something to do with their religion.

I think France is overreacting, using its power disproportionally. They should meet the perpetrators halfway in their demands. Time for the US to pressure islamophobic France to do so.


Oh wait. Nobody says this if the victims are non-Jews.

From the author of Finding Nemo Was The Scariest Film I've Ever Seen...

Perhaps the biggest thing that made me give up on Santa was the fact that I always found him to be scary, or at least creepy.  Most kids already have a fear of people breaking into their house at night anyway, but Santa takes it to a whole new level by spying on you before he comes on Christmas Eve ("He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake...").  I was always afraid that the simplest mistake (throwing a tantrum, not eating my veggies, etc.) would cause me to lose my presents for that year, and the words of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" were used as a bludgeon to scare me into behaving (that's probably why I don't especially like the song).  We complain when the government tracks and spies on us, but somehow we're content to let a complete stranger do it just so he can bring us gifts?  Why does he have to come at night?  And why is he so interested in kids?  There's the clincher: ever since I was little I was always creeped out by anyone who took that much interest in children (and not just Santa, but the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Ronald McDonald, etc.).  My "pedophile" alarms would almost instantly go off.  I'd like to see how many department store and mall Santas over the years have been convicted sex offenders.  I was also afraid of Santa because he is usually depicted as having a deep voice, and my instinct has always been to distrust people with deep, booming voices (which is ironic because I've been told that my speaking voice is like that.)  Deep voice=scary.  Throw in a few "Ho ho ho" laughs, and you've got a character who's positively terrifying.  (I was also afraid of the Jolly Green Giant when I was little, and that laugh probably was part of the reason.)  I probably watched too many cartoons with deep-voiced villains when I was a tyke.

Never. Just because a bunch of racist limousine liberal families in a wealthy CT suburb suffered a tragedy doesn't mean that the rest of the country should lose their right to self defense.

You of all people can't see my trolling, can you? Well, I'm glad it pissed you off enough to put here. That was kind of the point.

When someone like you, who has a history of making legitimate racist or otherwise radical statements, tries to "troll", it doesn't work to well. You're like Poe's law made flesh.

We're you even here when I was making racial statements or are you letting other posters define me?  All I can say about you is that you're an aggregate of typical red avatar snark, elitism, and pearl clutching rage. But that wouldn't be entirely accurate, now would it?

You like to frequently remind everybody here that you "used to be" a white supremacist.

[Joe Republic]

We have to keep in mind that nothing is free.  Some way, some how it has to be paid for.  So basically healthy people are paying out the a$$ to cover the sick.  And also, health care is not and should not be a right.
If we let people pay for their own health care in a free market, costs would come down.  But if government is supplying it, costs will skyrocket and the quality will decline.

It gets worse:

At the best, Trump is a revolutionary fascist moderate with both liberal and conservative values. At the worst, he's a revolutionary fascist right-wing Progressive. Overall, that works out better than Hillary.

[Joe Republic]

Posts like the above demonstrate why this forum desperately needs a like/dislike option.  Torie's original post would easily have collected about 20 likes (conservative estimate for a community as big as Atlas) vs 1 dislike from BRTD.

[Joe Republic]

now we see how she get colored votes. on the other hand it is nothing unusual to see clintons cooperate with mafia.

Don't know who that kid is but

A) He doesn't use capital letters

so?

It's an indicator of a lazy, feckless subversive.

I thought there was no way that that post was serious and that it was more likely hilarious sarcasm, but you would know that poster better.

It was the latter, but Evergreen tends to get #triggered by these things.

Thats ok, I'm not concerned about the opinions of blue avatars.  You have problems of your own!

[Joe Republic]

... As in, maybe you should worry about your party's nominee more than my post pointing out how terrible he and his voters are?  I'd have thought you'd agree with me rather than repost it here... unless you consider yourself part of Trump's base now (your avatar color notwithstanding)?

[Joe Republic]

Then we agree to disagree.  A person who supports Trump is endorsing bigotry, thereby making themselves a bigot.  This isn't a logical leap, friend.

[Joe Republic]

No, not really.

[Joe Republic]

Not every thread I've begun is based on a quote from Fox News (although I fully admit that a good number are, because I believe the Fox news people provide a much more objective version of what's going on than can be found on other news outlets). And yes, I read various books and sometimes have questions about the voracity of what I've read, so I post questions.  So I'm confused: do you have a problem with those who read, or those who ask questions?

WT-literal-F

I agree with him. It's hard to accept if you exclusively consume liberal media, but Fox is actually reasonably "fair and balanced".

PA is one of the few states that have people that would be considered "Reagan Democrats" where they are technically Democrats, but would self-identify as Republicans here.

[Joe Republic]

Who needs a dog whistle any more, when a bullhorn will do?  (Bolding is mine)

Thats perfectly justified force .

And then she was told by the policeman that it was because blacks have violent tendencies. 

No matter how justified it may seem, ^ is how the police officer justified it to himself. And that's a pretty bad excuse.

Actually they do, but its irrelevant the officer didn't need to flap his gums any further.   I will agree with you there. 

[Joe Republic]

I don't even know why the thread is named for Lyin Steve anyway.  What did I miss?
