To allow the majority of the forum to have educated discussions, why not have a separate discussion area for JJ to post his numerous copy/paste items that bog down the politics section.

I thought Times Daily didn't do free advertising. They might as well have a link to the alternet on the forum. Discussion and debate is welcomed but not all of this useless clutter.

It's been alleged that JJ gets some sort of compensation whenever you click on a link in one of his postings. I have no idea whether or not that is true; it simply gives me a good reason to scan over his drivel. Well, actually not "his" drivel, as his free-form postings do not indicate the sort of intellectual sophistication that may occasionally be present in his cut-n-pastes.
Yes the times daily needs another Discussion field just for idiots of the right wing party who don't like to be reminded they lost the election. Right wingers are very strange people, who will do anything to keep you from reading anything other than the propaganda they come up with for you to read. Right wingers don't want you to know the truth about them and their party. Wink
There are a handful of liberal-leaning characters on here whom are not only tolerated but welcomed. This is not about silencing the liberal voice as much as it is about discussing rather than copy/pasting. Copy/pasting from an unbiased or educated source is fine when backing up a point. However, making a point with a copy/paste from some source with an obvious agenda should be frowned upon.

I will copy/paste stories if I wish. If you like you can skip them or discuss them. I do not think you right wingers own the board. You right winger never stay with a topic, instead you jump to and from a topic to attack posters who do not see things your way. Roll Eyes

We'll have to wait and see. I'm sure change is coming; whether or not we can survive the change is another unanswered question. Perhaps you will be the recipient of governmental largesse due; in that case, I expect you will love it. What is apparent to me is that Wall Street doesn't love the changes.

In all fairness, Obama may be shaped by the office rather than the other way around. However, I'll still look for entertainment by ruthlessly skewering libtard idiocy when and where I find it.

Thank you! I've mentioned before & I will mention again-I am a liberal. I'm just sick of reading stuff that comes from another source. I like reading opinions straight from the source.
I try to be open-minded and know that the majority of the participants on here want what is best for this country. Both sides might have different plans on how to reach that goal, but there also is some common ground. As long as both sides have the opportunity to voice their opinion, progress can be made on learning to live together and bring this country together, instead of rip it farther apart.

Well, start a topic of your own.

Then start with you, stop attacking people becaue they don't see eye to eye with you. Ask questions if you don't understand why they don't think like you. Tell us why we should think like you and inform us why you think our thinking is wrong. Attacks make people farther apart and most do not understand why you are attacking. Republicans will have to change their way of thinking to make people wanna vote republican. Fighting Illini, I will say this about you, you don't attack folks like most other consevatives do in here. You have posted things in the past that got me to thinking.

Thanks for the lecture, dad. JJ, I don't make personal attacks and call people "left wingers, the party of gays, poor blacks, etc." I am passionate in my beliefs like everyone else. I do tend to fall on the conservative side of many issues, especially economically speaking. However, I do believe that there are many social issues I am much more moderate than most conservatives. I am not as much party-minded like you, as I like to mix in common sense to developing my reasoning. I believe more people fall into this category than yours of party-bashing.

I can say that in my short life I have opened to many ideas that are thrown out by both parties and I like to pick and choose which are applicable to me. I will never be a one-party person, although I may favor one side more. You, on the other hand, seem to be a bitter, old person who is still holding a grudge from what a Republican did or said to you 30 years ago. I guess it is true that you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
You're trying rational discourse with JJP. That's sort of like trying to teach a pig to sing.

Generally, most people aren't simply identified by their party affiliations. A taing to conservatism, such as opposition to "gay marriage", will tend to drive people like JJP into a frenzied state where spittle flies and they sputter things like "party of hate".

In truth, no party is the party of hate or the party of surrender. These parties are made up, by and large, by people who have varying beliefs on everything from social to economic to foreign issues. No party has a lock on "absolute truth"; no party is inherently evil. The republicans lost support because they strayed from their conservative roots; the democrats have become besotted by a dream and bought into a charismatic figure promising...something as yet undefined.

This country is complex and those who believe it will be solved by bumper-sticker politics are in for a sore disappointment. If Marie Antoinette were to come up with a bumper sticker, it would have been "Let Them Eat Cake".

One last thing, JJP...where'd you steal your tagline? Even though it makes almost no sense (you've been unable to opt out of social security since the early to mid-seventies) what does it have to do with reality? Or is that simply your bumper sticker?

I can agree with you on the gays. I do know that all parties have gays, it is not just the democrats. The Culture war seem not to be an Important issue this time during the election as the republicans did not say anything about it,

Nope. I am my own person.

(wow. I must've really "made here" on the forums-I'm being accused of being other people! Roll Eyes

I'd like to thank the academy...)
