Anyone see the circus yesterday in Iowa? Makes me sick that these people (either party) are so anti-American.

I didn't - - sm

I saw some of the coverage of the election, but not the circus you are talking about. Not doubting you, just saying I didn't see it. Who is so anti-American and why do you believe that?

"Anti-American"? What are you talking about?!! nm - :-(

She isn't answering so either..... - see message

1. It's a troll type of posting just starting an argument. - or -

2. She's stating that republicans and independents are anti-Americans. After all only democrats/communists are Americans. Didn't you know that? - or -

3. She saw some democrat operatives infiltrating the republican election stirring up trouble that nobody else saw but her.

Most likely it's #1. No maybe #2. I have a friend who actually thinks like this. I know...she's deranged and can't think for herself. I know this because she repeats exactly what is said on MSNBC word for word and when asked questions she has no answer, but she was my friend before we became adults. But no matter how much you try and talk to her and show her facts she doesn't want to listen. The good thing is she knows what is going on is wrong, but she can't get over that insane idea that anyone not a democrat is "anti-American".

But since there have been no replies from her taking responsibility for her post, I say it's #1.

The parenthetical phrase (either party) - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
which you obviously ignored would tend to indicate this comment is nothing more than a manufactured opportunity to mount your soapbox and parade your intolerant dogma. The pot-kettle element regarding your spoiling-for-an-argument theory found in #1 and its incongruous conclusion based on false premise is so transparent it is laughable.

Don't despair. There has been no shortage of consevative malcontents on this forum of late who are desperate to scapegoat libs for the failings of their own party as evidenced by the dismal landscape surrounding the primary process, so you are not alone. The contenders are cannibalizing one another right and left, a spectacle that undoubtedly will get much worse before it gets better, and the caucus numbers reveal the deep divisions among its fractious ranks. My guess is the most irritating aspect of all of this is the stoney silence emanating from the dem camp whose members are struggling to contain their glee as they witness the bawdy debaucle unfold.

(either party) - sm

Surprising how rude and blind you can be at the same time. Incidentally, for all your flowery rantings (not), you spell conservative with an "r". You write such hateful, mean-spirited things against anyone that disagrees with what you write - which is pretty much nothing important. Then, you accuse others of that? What a hypocrit.

There was nothing hateful about it. A tad bit - dramatic dontchathink?

[ In Reply To ..]
And if there was anything bordering on mean-spiritedness, it would be the post that she was responding to where the poster waited an entire hour and 5 minutes (hello.... open forum.... posts go on for days without responses) before accusing someone of being an argumentative troll and then took the opportunity to make a liberal/dem dig (which was most likely her motivation in the first place... just called the poster a troll to make it look like she was being on topic). Give me a break with the "hateful" over-dramatics.

BTW... since you are on the Spelling Police Force (which is not allowed on this board... check the posting guidelines) better double check "hypocrit." Check the definition while you're at it too.

Later

Well said. - I agree. nm

[ In Reply To ..]

Yes there was - - Read it again

[ In Reply To ..]
The words "There has been no shortage of consevative malcontents on this forum of late". and "this comment is nothing more than a manufactured opportunity to mount your soapbox and parade your intolerant dogma." Again, the words of the poster you don't think is hateful, copied and pasted so you won't accuse anyone of lying.

As I was reading it I thought, wow, wonder how long it took her to look up all those words. The post itself, was a rant of meaningless mumbo jumbo.

First, I did not "ignore" the parenthesis, since we all know the poster was not talking about democrats - (i.e. "Anyone see the circus yesterday in Iowa") P.S. - It was a republican election voting night, and I'm pretty sure Barnum & Bailey didn't come to town, oh yes, and there was nothing about democrats the other night there. It was a republicans night. As a judge once said "I may have been born at night but I wasn't born last night".

And I am the poster she responded to and sorry, but I don't have a time clock sitting here waiting until another poster decides the approved alloted time has gone by. I responded because posters were asking what she meant and since she was not responding it looked pretty much like a troll post. Since you don't know what a troll post is it is baiting emotional responses from other people, and usually based on nothing, which is exactly what that comment was. And no, I didn't make a lib/dem/comm dig. I made an observation since the OP was calling republicans un-American. ooh how convenient that little fact was purposely ignored. No, sorry, no motiivation in my post, but there was in the OPs post. Hateful is what the first OP was.

BTW...she was not being a "Spelling Police Force", she just mentioned it in the midst of her post which was about something else. Just like many other people on this board do.

If you want to defend hateful posts and adding to it I think it's just really sad that people cannot have a decent conversation anymore. First they come on this board and post inflammatory comments about people not in their "club" (i.e., their political party), then they say hateful things, then they try and defend that.

Would be nice if people could actually have an adult conversation about real issues instead of insulting people in the other party they don't belong to and think it's "cute" then get others to defend them.

Go ahead...flame away...it's expected.

Sarah Bernhardt, - read this please

You want a crash course in "hateful?" I can easily give you examples that I have heard first hand of what hate speech is, but I'd probably get banned from this site. Get over yourself and stop with the drama queen antics. Nothing... I repeat... NOTHING in her post came anywhere near to being "hateful," and for you to even try to suggest that is overdramatic and silly.

You must have no life at all - nm

Read this please - LOL

[ In Reply To ..]
New a supporter would be quick to reply. LOL. I repeat...read her post again. However, since you agree and think that was not hateful, there is nothing to say. Even when it is copied, pasted (and quoted). You are not the only one who has heard hate speech "first hand". I've heard my fair share. Do you even know what "drama queen antics" mean? Since you used it improperly you might want to look it up.

So if you agree with calling republicans un-American and you think hateful posts are not hateful and defend those actions I think it's a pretty sad time in our country. Nobody will ever unite with these kinds of attitudes. There will always be the battle between the parties, when in actuality the laugh is on all of you because there is no difference in parties. It's just a show for them all to watch everyone tear each other apart calling one party a circus or whatever.

But if that's what fuels the fire more fun for them I guess.

BTW - who is Sarah Bernhardt?

Read this please - LOL - good one

[ In Reply To ..]
Some of these posters are so consumed by hatred for anything that does not fit into their libs/dems agenda that it borders on some sort of psychosis...IT HAS TO...LOL. Never in my life have I seen so many, with nothing to say, bash so many people relentlessly because they state an opinion that is contrary to what they belief. As an Independent, it is comical to watch these same people scream from the rooftop how "tolerant" they are...yeah, right. How they are so for the "little" people...size adjective for these libs/dems must indicate it makes it easier for the yahoos to crush them...LOL. What a bunch of hypocritical (yes, spelled correctly) wind bags!!

I wonder how many names I'll get called for agreeing with you - and thanking you speaking up?

[ In Reply To ..]
The favorite part drama queens in denial love to play is the victim's star role. This one's ideal venue would be a packed house transfixed by her brilliant solo performance and a cone-shaped spotlight beam that shadows her every move, as she drifts from stage left to stage right, then stage center, clutching the buttons on her ruffled silk blouse with her left hand, and daintily raising the back of her right hand upward toward her face, placing it deftly across her creased forehead, as she delivers a resounding monologue that echoes amplify throughout the theater chambers. The production would be low-budget as no costars or supporting actors need apply, and no musicians, no backdrops, no costumes, no scenery changes needed, so as not to distract from her awesome magnificence.

and this is a political discussion how? - just wondering

[ In Reply To ..]
You've gone from politics now to just ridiculing posters. And why? Because she/he doesn't agree with you political wise? Because he/she spoke up for him/herself? Because they dared called out a rude poster? She wasn't the one playing the victim role, the one she replied to was. Besides, in politics the democrats are the ones who always cry victim.

This elaborate scenario of whatever you think it is is just silly and nonsense and has nothing to do with politics. Drama queen? No that would be the posters he/she replied too. Victim, doesn't look like the victim. In fact that would also fall in line with the dems since they are so good at playing the victim role.

Maybe it would be wise to keep political conversations on the political board and silliness/nonsense and a poor attempt at humor on one of the other boards - of course I am not the moderator and you can post whatever you want anywhere, but it kind of takes away from the reason for the board - political discussions.

Besides, didn't your mother ever teach you its not nice to bully others no matter how much fun you get in ridiculing them.

Politcal discussion - to just wondering - Great post

[ In Reply To ..]
Great post again! So many on here have no idea what they are talking about politically, and are so rude to boot you know which "party" they attend. Then, they have all their little friendly flamers add gas. Several posters agree with you and glad to see you give it back. I have seen them call people liars because they have a different OPINION. Have also seen the race card played...pretty sad. Even ate one of their own for speaking out against Obama. See the multiple thread below. Shows the mentality of those flamers. Perhaps the "word lady" (not to be confused with the "church lady") should start reading them all definitions from her dictionary. Pretty sad they stoop this low, have nothing to say and are so insulting and rude in the process. Their message (if there ever was one) is completely lost as a result and no one cares.

Thanks - just wondering/what if - see message

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm glad I am not the only one who sees this. I wasn't coming to this board for awhile because, first I was busy working, but mainly because over the past few weeks it seemed to be taken over. Very few conservative/independent posts and when they do post they get bullied on by some libs posting. It was like watching bullies in a school playground, and why? Because they have a difference in opinion regarding politics? I guess I don't understand that mentality, but it definitely is true what a psychiatrist wrote - "Liberalism is a mental disorder". It's very interesting what he wrote and so spot on. One specific thing he wrote which is interesting is "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."

I guess it's just painful to try and figure them out (that includes relatives). My sister and I were raised in the same house. I don't understand where she comes up with some of the stuff she does. You provide facts/articles to her and she doesn't want to hear it. They close their minds to anything that doesn't support their way of thinking. They play the victim role, then try to reverse it saying others are playing the victim role. It's kind of funny to watch, but sad on the other hand. I just don't know where the absolute hatred comes from for anyone who doesn't belong to their party. I voted for 5 republicans and 5 democrats in my life and one election I didn't vote because I didn't believe in either candidate. But I guess according to them in some sick way even if someone is corrupt and inexperienced you are supposed to vote for them anyway.

But as someone who doesn't belong to any party, I can stand back and objectively see issues with both parties. We don't look first at someone's name to see whether there is a "D" or "R" after their name to decide before hand whether or not we will like what someone has to say.

They'll sit and say the republican party is imploding, which I don't disagree with - have not found a candidate yet I want to support, but they also do not admit that their own party is also imploding. It is kind of amusing to sit back and watch them tear each other apart. It's also amusing that the libs will come on and profess to be independent when their posts clearly show they are not and have no tolerance for anyone who is not a democrat. They bully and gang up and then when you call them on it and stand up for yourself and your believes they pull the "victim" or "racist" card. Then go off into some deranged movie idea. It is slightly amusing, but just slightly.

However, my mama always taught me to stand up for myself, don't let anyone bully me and fight back with facts. Thanks for your encouraging posts. Love em and keep em coming.

Thanks-just wondering - what if

[ In Reply To ..]
Agree with everything you said. There is a way to politely disagree and get your point across brilliantly, yet none of these libs/Dems/progressives have figured that out. I have been on here only a few days and I am appalled at how brutal their comments are and then they act as if they are the ones being victimized as you stated. When their hateful, mean-spirited, misdirected comments were turned back to them, they come at you like a pit bull after a steak. I saw one comment I really enjoyed that said (paraphrased)...you flamers keep going, eventually you will burn out, and in the meantime, we will roast marshmallows. I have seen so many posts where they want documentation. What is wrong with them? They have access to a computer; use it. Obviously, they are not interested in any truth at all. I have seen Dems that disagreed with them questioned as to whether they were Dems and then called a liar. And, yes the race card...forget that the individual (and so can I) can list a number Obama's failed policies (unless of course you support complete total control). So thankful that not all Dems/libs/progs are as hateful as the few that post here. If they had any clue how riduculous and immature they sounded, maybe they would stop, but I doubt it. I have NEVER blindly voted any party and have split my vote many, many times. I think they are so far left that cannot see anything because they are so blinded by their ideology. Thanks to people like them and, yes, Obama, Pelosi and Reid, I will think long and hard before I ever pull another "D" lever. These people are just too out there and make no sense whatsoever. I bet most of them do not know that Hilter, Mussolini, Lenin embraced the same garbage they spew all over this board. Since none of these flamers appear educated in history or politics, I am sure they are unaware of that, as well. Maybe they do not care, or will never take the iniative to see what these roots grow into. I will gladly read everything you post. There is such a huge improvement and such an elevation in intellect reading your posts as compared to the "politically elite" that are so clueless and ignorant of facts...it is sad. As with most libs/dems/progs, they are very hypocritical. They want complete control of others speech (Obamacare), but cannot control their own. Shows you how inadequate they really are. Have a great weekend!

Thanks-just wondering/what if - YEEAAAHHH

[ In Reply To ..]
So glad to see your post and a few others that are fed up with these flamers. I am sure they are in huddled masses, paging through their dictionaries and Saul Alinsky handbook with forward written by Cloward and Piven, mounting their attack....LOL! If they want good hateful lines, as an earlier poster stated, they can read what Hilary and Obama said to and about each other before they crawled into bed together. With B. Clinton's concubine, I am sure that bedrooom is getting pretty crowded.

Thanks-just wondering/what if - Libs affiliation trumps performance

[ In Reply To ..]
I am so loving your posts and the ones following. These flamers had become truly sickening and disgusting with their childish rants and horribly derogatory comments to anyone (including their own) that showed any disagreement with them in any way. They are like an incurable cancer. Loved the comment about them eating their own...true, but sad. I am sure, right now, they are trolling elsewhere for the next "meal"; someone should give the wordy one Webster's definition of cannabalism. They only thing I do disagree with you about is that Repubs are imploding. I believe there is more of a winnowing process going on, not implosion. There has to be a way to sort out everyone, and we still have several months for things to shake out. This way, all candidates can be vetted to the degree each voter is comfortable. I am so sick of Comrade Obama and his regime, it will be a delight to vote for someone that cares more about America than they do their political advancement (Canadian pipeline, BP oil spill, beer-fest, largest food stamp president, massive unemployment/under employment, Obamacara, and the list goes on). Too bad these flamers spend so little time on FACTS; they have an allergy to the truth.

Thanks-just wondering/what if - Flamer(s) found a new home

[ In Reply To ..]
You gotta check it out. The flamer(s) found a new home. Check out the listings under Health Care employment 315,000 jobs added. Knew he/she/they could not keep quiet for long, and as usual, no facts, just thinly veiled insults to anything Bush. I guess that was one of psychotic disorders you posted about...LOL. "Bush Derangement Syndrome"...Has a nice ring to it. Happy reading. Would love to know what payoff they get to being blind to anything other than the smile or essence of Obama! God spare us all.

Take note: Political content in my parenthetical phrase post remains unaddressed. - Just going with the flow

[ In Reply To ..]
of the thread that those who diverted attention away from the issues it raised and took it down the road to petty sniper fire have predetermined. I would be delighted to engage responses to the OP, but no one seems to be willing to give me much to work with in that respect. In the meantime, I see no reason not to participate in the thread by taking my cues from those nonstop volleys, much in the same way you have decided to do with your most recent contribution...do you?

For better or worse, talking up the subject of drama queen divas in denial is very much on topic, as has been established by folks who feel an appropriate response to issues...such as why cons scapegoat dems/libs for the failings of their own party, the dismal landscape of the GOP primary contender's field (and the fact that the primaries and Iowa caucus have been demonstrably off the GOP/cons' radar screens on this forum), their cannabilizing each other 24/7 and the fractious nature of the GOP as indicated by Iowa caucus numbers...is to ignore the politics outright, launch a barrage of juvenile digs and hurl slam after slam after slam.

So, how about it? Care to engage the original political content of the thread under which you have posted? If not, perhaps a change in subject is in order. For example, we could talk about the improving new jobs report, the fall in the unemployment rate, jobs gains in the automotive, transportation, retail, manufacturing and construction (!) sectors last month....something we all should be encouraged by unless, of course, you are among those bitter ranks who were rooting for failure and looking for a huge decline after seasonal adjustments were factored in after November's surprising drop in the unemployment rate. BTW, seasonal adjustments for last month are highly unlikely to affect automotive, transportation, manufacturing and construction jobs gains, so I wouldn't be holding my breath over that.

They say added manufacturing jobs have moved out of the "trend" category, now that those gains have been sustained for two consecutive years. What about those automotive industry gains from companies who enjoyed a solidly profitable year in 2011? We might examine how union worker concessions have contributed to those gains, huh? If the GOP had had their way, we would have let laissez faire devour that 100-year-old-plus sector. Instead, Obama had his way and we continue to reap the benefits of that fortunate turn-of-events as we speak.

Ball's in your court. Politics or petty sniper fire? What's it gonna be?

What about 2.5 million jobs still behind since Obama took. Economy is not as rosy as you seem to think, must be your glasses.

the parenthesis was meaningless and a non-issue - and it was addressed - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
because of the whole post in itself. Yes, it was addressed when a poster stated that you clearly were not talking about the democrats (i.e. - it was an election night for the republicans, not democrats - just in case you didn't know that). Therefore your "circus" comment about the republicans were duly noted.

Now to try and go back and say oh no, I was talking about both parties. Well just read your post again and you can clearly see you were not.

Next time you want to insult a party I would at least wait until there is a clear event that both parties are attending. That way you can disguise the distaste for the opposing party much better.

But, yes, that issue was addressed.

And it was addressed - Glad to see your response

[ In Reply To ..]
Glad to see another take these posters on. They say the most obnoxious things and expect to get a pass. When confronted, they are like bullies on a playground. There appears to be only a few, and these flamers have gotten so weird, it is now funny. Cannot imagine how horrible a day-to-day existence would be with them. Never saw such a critical bunch of know nothings that demand all sorts of documentation from others, but throw completely odd statements out there with nothing to back it up. The act like a bunch of 6-year-olds.

Perfect description... sadly, very common - these days

[ In Reply To ..]
Instead of drooling at the sound of a bell, we have the play-the-victim response (usually accompanied by the Sarah Bernhardt overdramatics) when confronted with a differing opinion OR what is perceived as a differing opinion OR when addressed in a manner similar to their own. I'm not going to get into the reasons behind this so as to avoid backlash leading to further hijacking of this post, but I've brought it up before, and I have a funny feeling you know exactly what I'm talking about. If not, it will surely come up again.

Speaking of hijacking a post (AKA getting off topic), let's address the original question: "Anyone see the circus yesterday in Iowa? Makes me sick that these people (either party) are so anti-American."

Yes... I did see the "circus," although I prefer to describe it as a side show, the other night. Where to start? Hmmmm.... well, how about the desperate scramble to find the nonRomney candidate (he's going to get the nomination because he has the most money... deal with it), leading to the rise and fall of various flunkies on a book tour before finally settling on a homophobic failed senator in a sweater vest. Then there were the various OWS mic checks along the way. News flash: Even some who are very supportive of OWS are finding the mic checks during speeches somewhat counterproductive (or circus like). When you go in a crowd and start yelling, the crowd can become startled and nervous, and the message is lost. Oh... and then there was the rise and fall of the dimmest incandescent bulb in the bunch (along with her taxpayer-funded pray-the-gay-away husband going on a dog accessory shopping spree... HAAAhahahaha!) finally dropping out of the race after winning the straw poll. Oh, did anyone see some of the news coverage of this thing???? It was unwatchable!! When you watch the news, it shouldn't make you cringe or feel embarrassed for the reporters presenting it. Then, sadly, there was Newt. Poor Newt. Mitt and all that big money made him feel picked on (clutch buttons on ruffled silk blouse). Rick who? And, finally, there are the 2 viable candidates who no one is paying attention to... 1 because he "worked for Obama" and the other because he won't accept big money. And, sorry, but that last one (big money in politics) I find to be rather anti-American. It WAS a circus! How anyone could seriously take the original question as an attack on them or their political party is beyond me... yet strangely predictable.

Perfect Description - look at your own party - Sad alright

[ In Reply To ..]
You should look at the circus your side orchestrated...you got the market there. Clinton with his rape charges, impeachment and loss of law license. Obama with his socialism, questionable associations at best, bowing to Muslim leaders. If you want the documentation you are always screaming about, it can be had with a click of your mouse on any search engine. From your posts, pretty clear you won't, since truth means nothing to you and is not your friend.

To understand the lib hatefulness...just look at how Hilary and Obama attacked each other before they climbed into bed together. Says it all!

You hit the nail on the head!! I think those that keep moving from thread to thread to try and insult others really do not care what they write so long as it hateful, mean, and more often than not, completely baseless. I was glad to see you copy and paste their "hateful" comments. The sad part is, there appears to be a very small number of completely clueless ranters on here against anything conservative, Republican, believers or those with common sense. Does not speak well for the group they choose to represent. Yet, if you would substitute Dems or libs in their text, they go absolutely over the top and are so appalled that anyone would address them in that fashion. But then, considering who they follow, civility does not exist in their little world. Good thing is, though, you know that they are not too bright and you can spot them quickly. Now I occasionally read them because they are so out there, it is good for a laugh...certainly not for any kind of poltical content or intelligence that the elitist thinks she has the market on, or the one that thinks she needs to always come to elite's rescue. God help her if her dictionary ever falls on her. LOL

Seems that the ones you are describing are so starved for attention, they will post anything, no matter ridiculous, just to get attention. Pretty sad commentary on their persona lives.

At least my post had political content - which of course you completely ignored

[ In Reply To ..]
or maybe you have a little selective blindness going on yourself, who knows? I guess the issues raised were too challenging so you had to resort to attack dog tactics, which has become all too common among the cons lately on this board, not to mention annointing yourself as chief typo police.

My laptop has a few sticky keys, the R being one of the worst offenders, so your allegations about a spelling deficit are predictably unfounded. Speaking of typos, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume you too have problems with sticky keys, the E being one among them, but just in case, hypocritE is spelled with a final silent E. Perhaps your haste to express your ballistic outrage over my flowery rants of no importance explains that gross oversight.

As long as cons continue to post their continuous stream of toxic hate-laced self-righteous indignation over the very existence of dem/lib partisans and their presence on this board, I wouldn't look for responses of the same kind to disappear anytime soon and, for the record, I will not be bullied or shamed into dumbing down my writing style by you or anybody else, for that matter. Nobody is forcing you to open my posts or strong-arming you into responding to them.

Women already marry men, so aren't they marrying their dogs?--you know, men are dogs. ;)

But on the flip side of things, don't you think your dog would make a better partner than what is offered in the world right now. They are intensely loyal, they protect you, they snuggle with you, and they even watch out for children. Timmy's mother never had to worry about her child. And I can live without the sex part, so they would make a fine partner in life.
