Re: A Day in the Life of a Republican... WhiskeyGirl: ROFLMAO!!
Holy crap phyx...how long did this take you? You are soooooo easily riled! Keep going...please, its funny to watch you try to drill your opinion into everybody (You're sure you are liberal eh?) ::)
Don't get your knickers in a knot man....I simply posted one other way to look at things....had a little fun with it ya know? You don't have a problem with that do you? Of course not...your one of those ever so accommodating and open minded liberals. :-*
You know what they say.....if God had been liberal we wouldn't have the ten commandments....we'd have the ten suggestions......
And you know? I would waste half my day arguing with you about this but the fact is.....I really don't care what you believe...your entitled to your opinion...even if its wrong.......and its very obvious that you are gonna blindly support everything the bleeding heart liberals do no matter how ridiculous it becomes. Your ignorance annoys the hell out of me...but I'm feeing charitable today (well that and we have been asked not to do this on the boards anymore) So you know what phyx?
YOU WIN!!
Merry Christmas
Damn....I can't help myself again......

and beren....I'm with you, actually. The first time I had this little go round with phyx I made it clear that I am smack in the middle, I sometimes swing right...I even sometimes swing left...depending on the issue at hand. It just annoys me how some people insist on poking sticks at republicans every chance they get.
My ex used to call ME a tree hugging pacifist .....I can only imagine how him and phyx would get along!!
I'll leave you with this quote .....
Any man who is under 30, and is not liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.~Winston Churchill~
Whiskey For President
I love you all...even you, phyx :-*
MERRY HO HO ;D

But why oh why, for God's sake, do we still have over 75,000 troops in Germany? Are we really still worried about the Nazis coming back to power? Heck, we have fewer than 20,000 in Afghanistan.

I think that much of the newly found peaceful coexistence in Europe is due, in large part, to the American Military presence. The U.S. military gives the host countries peace of mind, as well as economic advantages. It provides us with a base of operations and allows us to mobilize much quicker in certain parts of the world.
Ok, I’ll stop hijacking the thread now.
On topic: In my view, both extremes are full of crap, but often necessary to drive change. Luckily, most policy may be envisioned in extremes, but then moves toward the center when implemented.
Re: A Day in the Life of a Republican... down2basics: Ya know - the more you tout your loving liberals - the more it sounds like a communist existence rather than a democracy. I mean - doesn't socialist republics and communist nations make all the decisions for their people? That way no one has to accept responsibility for their actions - it's all the GOVERNMENT's fault? Is that where we are headed?
Chugging Pantene?
ignition inhibiting breathalyzers?
bureaucracy of middlemen and women?
What exactly then is the solution to an ever increasing problem of bureaucracy and liberals giving it all away and conservatives taking it all away?
Either way - IT'S GONE!

I wonder where that would leave agnostic Republicans like myself. Do I get to wear a "What Would I Do?" bracelet?

Howzabout a "What Would The Nameless Void Do?" bracelet? As an Apocalyptic Cultist, I enjoy sportin' my stylish "What Would Cthulu Do?" bracelet.
Re: A Day in the Life of a Republican... Phyxius: Joe has to pay his federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided to subsidize college education so that universities, freed from competitive pressure, no longer had to keep tuition costs down.
Well, actually elitism was what the Pell Grants and Stafford Loans were enacted to combat. Unless, of course, you think only the rich should go to college? Hmmmmmm?
Joe had the GPA and SAT scores to get into Harvard, but he had to settle for a community college because racial quotas kept him out while admitting inner city students who couldn't read or write, but had mastered multiple techniques of fitting a condom in high school sex-ed.
Actually, it didn't matter what his SAT score was, or what color his skin is, because, as a staunch Republican who does not believe in government handouts, Joe did not avail himself of his Financial Aid options. And since his father was a technician at a nuclear power plant earning less than $75,000 per year, he didn't have a hope in hell of paying the $38,000 in tuition and fees at Harvard.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. He has to practice defensive driving because some America-hating liberal had alcoholism classified as a legally-protected disease and disability.
No, he has to practice defensive driving because liberal-hating conservatives shot down a proposal to force ignition inhibiting breathalyzers be installed on a DUI offender's vehicle after the first offense. Besides, what self-respecting small-government, anti- big brother conservative would allow his freedom to be curtailed simply because he had a little too much to drink? ::)
He arrives at his boyhood home. The countryside used to be a quiet, leisurely, pristine place to live until the Federal highway system and force bussing overran the bucolic countryside with suburban sprawl as urbanites fled the cities.
Yeah, right. Again - you can thank a REPUBLICAN for the Federal highway system. And are you really suggesting that reintroducing SEGREGATION is the answer to suburban sprawl? :o
