The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

[Simfan34]

The whole thing is pretty ridiculous, but the bolded part stands out the most:

I can only concur.

I always said Rick was more electable than Romney for precisely this reason. Mitt's just so easy to attack.

Ditto, except I've always said that Romney was the easiest GOP opponent for Obama to beat.  That's why the MSM made him the candidate.  (Santorum, because he's so socially conservative and sort of an economic-liberal, would have been the second-easiest for Obama to beat, which is why the MSM left him to last.)

This is hardly absurd, are you trying to tell me Santorum is some kind of social-democrat?

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

However, almost every Republican who posts on this board is 100% sure that Obama is going to lose, ignoring the hard evidence for the idea that America will be so enraged by Obamacare that that will be their only issue.  And they might be right, but why are they so certain?

I'm a former Democrat (bluedog variety) and now a registered Independent.  I think the rationale for seeing Obama lose badly is really simple:

The results of the 2010 election.

What's changed since then?

Mynheer Peeperkorn, you have yet to explain how social libertarianism is "true conservatism". I'm trying to find out the reasoning behind that. Merely using the fact that he was named "Mr. Conservative" in no way proves that he is the standard bearer for all conservatives of all time, yet that seems your only reasoning.

I'm not your teacher. Go to wikipedia.

Frankly, this is the moment to reconsider your position on the whole sexuality thing. I mean, not actively going out after other men is one thing, but when the fruits of love fall in your lap, ypu'd be a fool not to think it over,...

Sort of. He'd be easy to imagine on the technocratic old right of any western European major center left party if he'd just shut the inks up about gays.

Fair enough, but I'd hardly call whyterain's assertion absurd by any measure. Also, Belge, don't take it personally. It's just absurd.

At least 90% of this thread.

[Napoleon]

Breaking my own rule for this one.

 

Lieberman is an ass.

Case in point with your post,

Extremists exist in both parties

[Simfan34]

At least 90% of this thread.

Even more absurd: Winfield is not in that 90%.

Worst post ever ? Worst post ever.

You can't figure out why having a well educatedvand healthy society is beneficial in general? Really?

It would be. However this almost never turns out to be the case. Also I would rather keep more of my own money and spend it on what I want, instead of what the state wants.

You as a Sovereign Individual (tm) can't pay for an ordered and peaceful society even if you want to.

Witty barbs aside, what I mean is I would rather save some additional money for myself, or spend it on a holiday or a car, than pay for the education, healthcare and benefits of slum-dwelling drug addicts.

North American literature is Faulkner + A Confederacy of Dunces + the first half of Catch 22.

Everything else is "fine" and that's all. I've always felt sympathy for Fitzgerald, but his novels are quite irrelevant. Twain is G rated.

Hemingway is trash.

In poetry Whitman and Ginsberg are great.

And that's the end of North American literature.

I'm more curious as to the strange definition of "irrelevant" he uses.

Also, what the hell's his problem with Mark Twain?

...yeah that's pretty awful.

It isn't every day that you see someone categorically trash the literary works and traditions of an entire continent.

A first post and not particularly skillful troll from someone named "Kenyan Obama"...

Lots of young people have mental health issues, sometimes needing hospitalization. Often they just benefit from having medical supervision and regular prescriptions... and yes the cost of the prescription alone is probably less than the cost of insurance... but there's a mental block associated with spending that higher amount with no medical supervision vs. having a doctor prescribe it and having it be much less expensive as part of overall care.

Dental work is not something that springs up at age 40, either.

Well tough luck. We were all young once and we made due. The free market is what makes everyone so successful. If these young people have problems, they should seek religious, not secular treatment.

 There is no plausible defense of Osamacare. It's a Fascist attack on the freedoms of everyday hard-working Americans engineered by a Kenyan socialist who is trying to destroy this country. It is every American's responsibility to fight back against this dung concoction of Beast Obama.

Looks like a sock account, just from the third sentence.

[homelycooking]

Why are they called "sock accounts"?

[minionofmidas]

Why are they called "sock accounts"?

I think it's on account of the idea of using a sock as a simple handpuppet.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yeah it's short for "sockpuppet".

Possibly that or just a lurker who opted to troll.

Clearly.  The guy is just trying too hard, as he slings epithets around in lieu of actually thinking.  

[Lambsbread]

Palin was the only reason McCain had any chance at all.

[Miles]

This is from kenyanobama, but I still thought I'd post it:

I agree. Though the loss of Walsh wouldn't be too great: he's a lib.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Dixie might be an idiot, but this definitely crosses the line.

Could we just lock this thread? This has turned into a total and utter disaster and train wreck, courtesy of our latest stupid troll.

I fail to see how my posts are stupid and trollish. I don't think of your left-wing posts as stupid or trollish, rather I just disagree with them.

You are. Your clearly a retarded f-----r who hates black people and is just a dick in almost every way. Heck your probably one of these right-wingers who turns out to be a child rapist in reality.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Sorry, let's put it so.

Who's this guy, a lame attempt at parodying left-wing hacks ?

[Keystone Phil]

Yeah, that's probably a sock account, too.
