The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Stop conversing.......just post

[Goldwater]

The Republicans from the 1860s ould be Republicans today  and the Democrats from the old days 1860s would be Liberal Democrats today.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I don't think a country that supports universal health care, the AWB, abortion rights, and higher taxes while opposing cuts to Medicare and SS is "center-right".

Tell me, Alfred, how many Americans in the latest polling have agreed with the statement "I would like my taxes to be higher."?

Warren Buffett, at least. And higher taxes doesn't mean higher taxes on middle-class Americans; people want to raise taxes on the rich, and that counts.

People want taxes raised on everyone except themselves. The mercurial other.

Warren Buffett doesn't. And that's better than wanting spending cut for no one at all, not even themselves.

And this conversation has gone on too long, we should stop it.

In all seriousness, charts "country" followed by the other charts crap (Top40). Mostly because are, literally, music targeted towards morons. And rural(ish) white morons in the first case.

He's obviously referring to mainstream pop-country there. I believe Lewis is a fan of Johnny Cash.

My problem isn't necessarily with his dislike of that kind of music, it's the painting of an entire music genre with a broad brush.  I don't believe in insulting any kind of music because I don't believe you have to have a certain degree of intelligence to enjoy something.

Absolutely they should be if they were around!  And they would be; they never "switched sides", the times (and the meanings of liberal and conservative)  just changed and made Republicans the conservatives and Democrats the liberals.

Thanks for posting that directly into the Deluge.

In the Oldiesfreak world Strom Thurmond was to the left of Robert LaFollette.

Until he had a change of heart and became a Republican because of the Democrats' opposition to the Civil Rights Act.

Yeah, but most segregationists never left the Democratic party.  A few became Republicans, but most did not.

If you actually believe Strom Thurmond was to the left of Robert LaFollette, yes.

And basically all of those are dead today. Or if not dead out of politics and with no influence whatsoever.

No, but having below a certain degree of intelligence and/or taste is frequently required.

Lincoln is dead today as well, but does he seriously not make you more likely to support Republicans?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Of course he doesn't.  What kind of jackass supports a party because of one leader 150 years ago?

[Franzl]

Stop trolling, Oldies.

I like to separate it from the noise.

Can we just say https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?action=profile;u=9236;sa=showPosts and then never post another post, as it is cluttering the thread.

Yeah, but they started voting Republican on national, and then state, levels.

Who would support a nation that interred Japanese Americans 70 years ago either?

True, but it wasn't because of race.

Did you really just cite a visiting scholar from the American Enterprise Institute in an attempt to make your point?

Oldiesfreak decides to be absurd, ignorant and bad on a new topic today:

Well, favorite recent one: Kitzmiller vs. Dover Board of Education

Nova made a documentary about it a few years back: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/intelligent-design-trial.html

Intelligent Design was revealed as creationism and defeated in front of a Republican judge here in PA. But the whole backstory about how a few local yokels on the school board tried to consciously undermine science is really disturbing. Local reaction there was interestingly pretty much against them.

And of course this is another reason why I dislike local school boards. They should never be allowed to toy with an academic curriculum like that.

I have no problem with teachng intelligent design as a theory and alongside evolution (also taught as a theory and not a fact.)

Of course, Democrat William Jennings Bryan was also a creationist, so I don't know how he reconciles this.
