Advice to conservatives on the board.

Posted: Aug 1, 2012

You will, no doubt, have noticed that the liberals on this board are largely unable and/or unwilling to actually discuss any substantial issues - or to defend Obama's dismal record - with any sort of competence. Show them an Obama ad today, and they'll repeat it tomorrow.

But I would only ask you to consider this: What else can they do, and how would you like to be in their shoes?

My advice, then, is this: Walk a mile in their shoes, and when you've understood the problem they have it will be easier to take the second part of this advice, which is: Be kind to them, but do not respond in kind. You don't have their problems.

Thanks for the laugh. - Too much

Just when I thought they have no sense of humor.

MAN PLANS, GOD LAUGHS - Paisley

See above.

You should maybe save your laughter - if any - for November.

It's always interesting when "laughter" is the response to a post. You always know immediately that there's absolutely nothing more substantial by way of response.

Riiight... - Move it to the comedy board

Sometimes a post is so obviously ridiculous it would be redundant to point it out. In that case, I think laughter is the only appropriate response.

Nice try. No save. - You don't play women's volleyball do you

proving that pubs have a fantastic sense of humor. It was so much fun. Turns out they are hilarious! This one from the office of Jon Kyl is still my fav:

"Not intended to be a factual statement"

Can't be said with a straight face. Try it! Guaranteed to make you giggle.

Maybe we should start a new proof of pub/con sense of humor thread. It's been a few months, and with Mittwit's recent trip, I'm sure there is more than enough material to work with.

O's record may not be the greatest - but I'll be darned

If I want anything that might even be close to the Bush record that went before. To me, Rmoney would be Bush with a little more brains and someone I definitely would NOT want to have a beer with (if he even knows what beer is).

I shiver to think of where we would be today if McCain/Palin - sm

had won the 2010 election.

McCain/Palin - OldNTiredMT

Oh wow...I can't agree more!!...I bet he would have added at least 4 Trillion to Bush's deficit. No doubt the unemployment rate would STILL be at least 8% and we would have had THREE summers of promised recovery...SHIVER ME TIMBERS. It would have been horrible!

Would that be like the tingle that ran up Chris Matthews' leg? - Disgusting thought.

#1, we wouldn't have wasted all this time with Obamacare, and we wouldn't be another $6 trillion in debt.

#2, when you've said #1, you've said just about everything.

Shiver your timbers with that.

Chirs Matthew's tingle - This was GREAT!

Great response!

I have got to find a board where you can speak without someone stuffing their fist down your throat. This whole board is like this. No one can give their opinion without being called irrational or whatever. Wouldn't it be too bad if Obama sits by while America burns and ISIS takes over, beheads our people and installs Sharia law. It could happen, yet you all want to sit there with your head in the sand. You never listen to the other side and the proof they show on the news for wha ...

If you are unhappy with the current administration, start volunteering your time, put your money where your mouth is, and get more conservatives out to vote in future elections. If your candidates have the majority of votes, you will get the change you seek. If your candidates do not have the majority of votes, then you are obliged to abide by the laws set forth by those elected to office by the majority. That is how democracy works. Having tea parties, holding up offensive si ...

go did go wrong for a couple of decades, letting themselves be swept farther right without scoping out the crowd they found themselves part of and where it was going, or why. That did cost us all badly, but what happened when we lost their stabilizing contribution just shows how much we need them to be good conservatives, to not sit quietly out in some chastened "independent-land" while extremists continue to dominate the discussion. It's way past time for them to get over it and step up ...

Typically I would have expected Conservatives to support men running around with guns and "practicing" military exercises. The Jade Helm military exercises don't seem so clear-cut for them. And, the conspiracy theorist connection with the Wal-Mart stores is pretty amusing. Does anyone know personally (live in areas where these stores were closed) whether they are clearing out the stores of merchandise. Many of the items will be "stale" after 6 months, (food prod ...

I've dug out a few of my "bolder" colored lipsticks instead of the nude lip I usually used as a brunette, but was wondering if any other blon ...

Hi all, I just needed a little advice. My sister called me last night and asked me to watch my 2yo niece while she and her husband and her 13yo daughter went on a cruise in June. I told her that I couldnt because the 3 days that she wants me to watch her are days that I work. Keep in mind, I have a 13yo, a 4yo, and a 16mo myself which I work at home with and it is difficult. I just dont think that people get how hard it is even though Im at home. Anyway, so I told ...

I just had a short meeting with his teacher yesterday who said that she is having some real issues with my son in class. She says that he is very disruptive and acts silly all day. She says that he is not mean by any means and is very sweet, but he just simply will not concentrate on the task at hand but would rather ...

I've been living with a guy for 12 years. There are some aspects of his personality/behavior that are positive. However, he has a habit of mocking me at just about every opportunity, belittling, that kind of stuff. When I get upset he says he "was being funny." He likes to contradict me in public when possible and point out negatives - not so much about me specifically but demeaning comments about things like my dog or my hobbies, etc. I ask him to please not do these things in public but i ...

Then the next day he is back again unless he is working and then he comes after work. I don't mind him coming to visit every day when my husband is in ...

Our family was planning a trip to Disney World this summer and then I decided that maybe we should go to California (where we are from) and go to Disneyland, that way grandparents can come. Since then, my MIL has taken it upon herself to plan out ourentire vacation, starting with trying to make our motel reservations on the drive there and ending with making them on the way back. If she were just being nice, it would be completely different, but really, she is just being controlling. ...

I'll try not to make this too long, but I have an 18-year-old, soon to be 19-year-old son who just told me a couple months ago that he is gay.

Anyway, I told him I love him no matter what and that did not matter to me. it took me a couple months to get over the heartache of it, though.

No big deal, it has to be done, but what I am having a problem with is his bi-weekly "allowance". He needs his own money to spend, and I understand that, but no matter how much money I tell him I am going to give him, it is never enough. He is never happy with what I give him (usually a couple hundred dollars). I never sp ...
