Please banjojack, you know there is nothing slanderous about telling the truth, your ignorance speaks for itself. As far as "childish attempts", I find that almost laughable since it is you who responds with puerile retorts.

It didn't take you as long as I thought it would to look up "puerile."

I haven't had this much fun, on the internet, in a long time. However, I must say, it is like shooting fish in a barrel. Conservatives are not very creative nor original, which makes them extremely predictable. All you have to do is listen to "Fat Boy Oxycotin" Limbaugh to know what they will say next. They seem to be incapable of thinking for themselves.

Mr Kennedy I am not necessarily picking on you as usually your answers seem to be articulate and concise but This video puts liberals in the same box that you put conservatives.

VIDEO Karl Marx for president\

It wasn't just the easily led younger people that love entertainment, which Obama is a master of, that put Obama in office both times. Let's get real when it comes to voters. The high percentage are uninformed and seem to make no attempt to rectify that. Liberals appear to stick their heads in the sand when it comes to Obama and refuse to admit what he is doing. someone said," man who stick head in sand get kicked in butt"!

The media IS in the tank for him so perhaps that is the reason some are uninformed. IMO most liberals want the agenda of large government. No personal responsibility but taken care of from the cradle to the grave. Kick out the Constitution and replace it with progressive/marxist ideas and ideals. Give us a European society. How about a little Sharia law in the good old US of A? Dump Conservatives, shut up Christians. Make sure that nothing but Liberals teach in the schools. A real Utopia. Who wouldn't want that? I don't and neither will the Liberals when it happens.

On the contrary you seemed to be obsessed with your perception of my "pithiness". You say you wouldn't mind if I were "pithy", if that were the case you wouldn't have brought it up in the first place. As for my "misplaced optimism about my own wit", once again you make the classic Conservative mistake. I harbor no such optimism, nor do I consider my posts "witty". Obviously you seem to think so. But here's the real crux of the matter, one which proves why Conservatives are oblivious to truth and reality. You and the other troll continually create imaginary scenarios and responses based on your own biases. You obviously assume that I think I am "witty". And so just because you think it, it must be so, when in reality nothing could be further from the truth. Maybe it is you who thinks you are the "wit". Conservatives continually tell everyone else what they think and how they would react to situations. And the truth is they have no idea what others think or how they would react. Yet to justify their ignorance they actually believe what they are saying. You have no clue what I think and just because you think I am a "Liberal" your little mind has already decided how I think and how I react. You know what surprises Conservatives the most about me? That I am a Marine, this flies in the face of everything Conservatives are taught, they can not accept the FACT that a Marine would be a "Liberal". Their little brains overload and the only solution to their dilemma is to deny this fact, just as they do with most of their ideas that fly in the face of reality.

On the surface you sound rather sane and rational, a rare quality amongst most Conservatives I've conversed with. But there are some assumptions that just don't fit reality in your post. First and foremost I have always had the impression that Conservatives tend to see the world in black and white, no gray. That is why, to me, they appear to be absolutists. The same may be said of Liberals, but quite frankly I don't see it, maybe because I am one. But that is precisely the point, as a Liberal, I am willing to accept the fact that the flaws I see in Conservatives may exist in me, but that at least allows me to try and empathize with Conservatives, whereas I don't see any attempts by Conservatives to empathize with Liberals. As you well know, the "Radical Right", primarily the "Tea Party", are very much opposed to the idea of compromise. This overly supports my perception of Conservatives being absolutists. Going back to the beginning of my posts a point I truly believe in is that humans are complex, a philosophy that many Conservatives don't seem to grasp or understand. Let me give you and example, as I posted to another poster, I told him that I am a Marine. In the past when I revealed this fact to other Conservatives their immediate response was denial. This didn't fit with their definition of a "Liberal". This is where I derive a lot of my ideas of Conservatives, from their inability to accept facts that don't fit their conception of a "Liberal". I often hear Conservatives make generalizations about "Liberals" such as, "Liberals" don't believe in personal responsibility. Obviously this irritates me immensely, because I was brought up in the Midwest with a strong work ethic and the belief of being responsible for yourself and your actions. So when I hear a Conservative say "Liberals" don't believe in responsibility and self worth I, like most people, become angry. I disagree with Conservatives on many issues, but there is a lot more common ground than Conservatives would have you believe. And now with this attitude of no compromise by the "Radical Right" all that it does in create more division between "Liberals" and "Conservatives".

One last thing, there is a segment of Conservatives that believe in Conspiracies and are "Doomsdayers". They remind me of my mentally ill brother who continually tells me about when the end of the world is going to occur. And every time that date passes he goes on as if he never said a word. I see the same traits by the extremist Conservatives that say BS like "Obama is going to turn this country in to a Socialist nation". This is complete and utter nonsense as is the part of your post that says..."IMO most liberals want the agenda of large government. No personal responsibility but taken care of from the cradle to the grave. Kick out the Constitution and replace it with progressive/marxist ideas and ideals." No Liberal, that I know believes in any of the things you mention. This sounds like a large dose of paranoia. I'm sorry but most Conservatives don't even know what "Communism" and "Socialism" are. "Communism" doesn't exist and Socialism would never work in the U.S. I'd love to debate and show you why what I just said is right, but I have neither the time nor the space to discuss those issues now. Suffice it to say whether you believe me or not, all the outrageous claims by the "Radical Right" about the U.S. becoming a "Socialistic" state will be disproved in 2016 when Obama leaves office. And Conservatives will be like my mentally ill brother who preached the end of the world, just as the "Radical Right" preached how the U.S. would become a "Socialistic" state, Conservatives will go about life as if they said nothing at all. Please do yourself a favor and abandon all the Conspiracy and Doomsday theories. Life in the U.S. will continue on just as it has for over 200 years, at least as long as you are alive.

All I see here is liberal concern for liberals, not the millions of families suffering in this horrible economy. Not for the military families who have seen casualties spike since Obama took office. They have no sympathy except for themselves.... that's actually nauseating.

Nothing about you impresses me. Your total contribution to this forum has been insults and name calling. You may or may not be a Marine. If you are, you have company on this forum. You are certainly not the only veteran, or the smartest one. You are basically a cheap shot artist. You sign up and start with your arrogant, clueless bullshit, and act like you are the aggrieved party if anyone should take exception.

Your jealousy is very unbecoming. I'm not on this forum to impress anyone, least of all not you. By the same token, you're about as interesting and intelligent as a slug. So I'm sure no one is impressed with you either. The problem is your inability to carry on a civil conversation about political issues. So here's the deal, I don't impress you and you don't impress anyone so why don't you find some other slug to converse with, I'm sure you two slugs will have a lot in common and best of all you won't have to think, which I'm sure is an incredibly difficult task for you. Oh, btw, you don't really believe you contribute anything meaningful to this forum, do you?

I answered your question without using the plain YES/NO answer to validate my opinion that your liberal arse is too retarded to make any discernment from it.
Now lets see if you are "intellectually overwhelmed". As you are obviously a product of the Liberal education system, I am sure you are. Ching Ching!! Now figure out what my answer was.
