Reply to Why Kerry lost: Backlash in Politics JoeUser Forums

Normally I'm willing to agree with Brad on points that he's thought about. On this one I sort of disagree. I think that liberals' positions on certain issues definitely forced conservatives to the polls, I just don't think it was because we were "mean" to them. I think it's because conservatives understood, to a greater degree than many liberals, that the supreme court could potentially hang in the balance in this election. In spite of the Senate Majority leader warnin

yup, that's true Zombie'n'heather, I was not trying to insult you before, but now you've both insulted me. My hourly rate was also what most people take home in a week, so if we're still having a pissing for distance contest, than maybe we've reached a tie. I'm also not going to prove to you how "smart" I am. I'm REALLY smart, and sure that's arrogance, but it's even more arrogant to say that someone's not. Yes anyone can pay for their degree with enough money, bu

I think it's sad, but true, but the United States likes it's WASP male presidents. I know it's stereotypical, but it is true, but the "solid south" will not cast their electoral votes for a minority president, and it's even odds on whether they would cast them for a woman. The midwest may be more likely to, but only if the minority is a Republican. Both parties recognize that they can win with a WASP man, but past history has indicated, by which I mean the election of a cath

Just because they have a degree and are book smart does NOT mean they can't be ignorant. I was taught that stupid meant you had a inablility to learn and that to be ignorant meant you did care to learn. So true, however, since I consider it a personal privelege to still be learning even though I have two, almost three kids in colleg

Zombie, take your prozac and relax, why do I say that? because I said in my post I was laughing, not about her post, but about a memory. Oh, and if you are so uneducated as to say that someone who has gone to law school, gotten two post graduate degrees, and teaches college history is ignorant, than you need a reality check. I'm not saying your wife is a homophobe, I'm not the one who wrote that. Oh, and since, in practice, I can guarantee I charged way more than you could e

Besides, if were talking about it, Jimmy Carter or George Bush the first, could come and run again for their second term, not likely, but it's happened before.

Saying warm fuzzy things without action is just mental masterbation. It's not compassion. ::LAUGHS:: Brad, you and the zingers tonight, and I thought it was just a slow night around the jeblackstar household.

Brad's right, Kerry needed to be the non anti-Bush, instead he was just the Not Bush canidate. If only we still lived in the time of Abraham Lincoln....

I was on sabatical while writing a book, if y'all are interested in textbooks on the history of pictish tribes, feel free to call your local university and insist they carry it. Sadly I only get about 5 cents for every book sold, so, if every person in america buys one, I'm doing pretty good. Hopefully Brad you get a little better deal per unit volume. Anyway, this new group looks like Fun. After all, it can't be worse than the Freshman history class they've stu

Don't you think compassion is a virtue? Don't you feel bad when people starve to death in famine or are killed because of their ethnicity? Not every person who is down-and-out is a crack-smoking, 15

St. Hubbins Theorum #113: The amount of class and decorum demonstrated by bloggers in the wake of Bush's victory is directly proportional to the amount of team sports they played as a child, specifically contact sports. When two tigers fight, one dies and the other is badly injured; similarly, a true warrior knows there is no 'winner' when he goes to battle, and doesn't

While academics tend to vote for Kerry, those who graduate with a bachelors degree tend to vote for Bush. And of course you have to look at geographical trends too, an academic and a bachelor degree holding individual in, say Oregon are more likely to vote for Kerry than those same two people in Texas.

Earth to Alison...where are you coming from? My very best friend is a homosexual. Your ignorant comment is astonishing. Wow, that's almost like saying, "I'm not racist, I have a black friend."

The rancor on either side only subsides when they are in power. If anyone wants to disagree with that satement, I need only point to the partisans on the Republican side who Hated Bill Clinton, I know for a fact that some of those people post on this forum. To claim, while in power, that the other side is acting in ways which "We never would if we had lost" is silly, especially as a generalization across the party. Brad, I have no idea where you live, or why a giant Kerry Tr

Reply to Take down your flag, we don't like it.. in Politics JoeUser Forums

The Homeowners Association could get around the Law because they did not specifically forbid flagpoles, they allowed ones smaller than 6 feet. Further, it's very tricky legally speaking to apply a law retroactively, so if the Association made their rules about flagpoles before the state passed the law saying they couldn't forbid flagpoles, then most judeges would agree that the Association is in the right.
