I am A republican!

1. AIDs means living a terrible, frightened and pain filled life and a dying a horrible, lonely death - I wish it on no-one! By the way - IV drug users, blood recipients, and women who make the mistake of sleeping with the wrong man get it also, not just Homosexuals. I think you have a ficxation on homosexuals!

2. I've never encountered a staring teacher making barely more than minimum wage - please find me one! Also - most people with a degree start at a much lower wage because they lack practical experience - and wage is a compilation of benifits and pay - so that extra 60 or so days off counts against salary.

3.The last I heard, it was the Clintons who sold nuclear and missile technology to the Chinese - please check out your facts.

4. Please remember that 50 years of Democrat congresses provided many of the loopholes to rich people and corporations that you mention - the Replicans are guilty of trying to provide corporations with job creating tax incentives (although both sides are guilty of pandering).

5.I believe that hundreds of scientists who disagree with your scientists might be right.

6. Equal rights have given us this great economy - key word here being "equal".

7. Back alley abortion is illegal - you have abortion clinics. I also believe in the death penalty and prisoner work programs.

8. Oppression and prosperity cannot go hand in hand. A free economy needs a free hand.

9. I do belive that penalties will keep bad business decisions from being made. Mining and forest industries care a lot about the environment because the government would fine them out of their paychecks and bonuses. A level playing field helps to foster good business decisions.

10. Self esteem comes from working and succeeding. Low self esteem is found more often in the person collecting the welfare check than in the low income wage earner. Self esteem has nothing to do with being white or a male - there are plenty of people of color and women out there who've worked their way to the top.

11. Both Bush and Kerry served in the military, so what are you talking about?

12. I believe that all of the amendments count - including my right to bear arms.

13. Bankers are honest - their auditors won't let them be otherwise! My gas taxes are supposed to pay for road paving.

14. Lincoln was the Republican - Lee and Jefferson (I assume you mean Jefferson Davis) were Democrats and then became Confederates.
Thomas Jefferson and "Edison?" -= well, I don't know about Edison who was an inventor and businessman, But Thomas Jefferson avowed a belief in the almighty, but supported no particular religion.

15. The word "no" is all inclusive - I'll bet there are black test writers and employers that are racists as well as white test writers and employers. So what! Blatant racism is no longer institutionalized - which is what is very important!

16. I don't hate Hillary - but she is much to liberal for me to care for.

17. Socialist Scandinavia? Hmmm - An insulated and homogenous community whose standard of living is NOT better than that of the USA - although they do enjoy some areas of life better than we do.

18. Lying about a Lewinski is minor - swearing to the nation that you never did it is much more serious, and perjuring yourself over it is a very serious offense.

19. I love the founding fathers - they knew how to keep everyone in check - by fighting with each other and leaving the citizenry alone.

20. Geez - a whack at Bush! Does this mean that corporate donations from other sectors and countries (such as China) are alright?

21. I believe that much of the media and Hollywood are anti-American, and that the French are biased against the USA - and you believe that talk radio is a cabal against free speach - so what!

All of your points are built on air - the rantings of a pimp[ly faced college kid mouthing the propaganda his professors spewed in class.

Get a job, pay some taxes, and then come back and talk to me.

 

[BoratSagdiyev]

[HENHOUSEx2]

Great Post BBLIGHT

I love it....

These kids who are so afraid today, scream for the liberal, most solely on just being liberal, most think it is the cool side...are completely clueless...

The last several Democratic Presidents have been disasters....

Lyndon Johnson....Carter....and then Clinton...

I always love the argument that NIXON got us into Vietnam....hey LIBERAL, pick up a history book...hahahha

If anyone almost ended the world it was JFK and his ridiculous views and TALK....

I mean I could go on and on but I am laughing to loud right now

HH

 

[bblight]

HH, The 60's and 70's were not a good period for Presidents - LBJ, Nixon, The only unelected president in history - Ford, Then WIN Carter (or was WIN under Ford?) to end the 70's.

JFK might be a liberal icon, but he was more conservative than most modern Republicans.

As for Clinton - well, the defense of Marriage act and welfare reform wouldn't have made it through the congress under a Republican President - so, he wasn't all that bad.

Borat - I didn't accuse you of being a homosexual - you're obviously not an American - so I figure you're young and got many of your ideas about Republicans from some college professor - I do accuse you of being uninformed.

In America, there are people on both sides of the spectrum who delight in accusing the other side of attrocities that have never happened; right now there is a popular rap song that accuses Bush of "knocking down the towers" - an obvious reference to the twin towers of the World Trade Center. What?

The right has Ann Coulter spreading her brand of Poison while the left has Michael Moore spreading his - and most of it is bull shit! The problem in the USA is that the extremes tend to control the media - so the story you get tends to be biased.

I suggest you check out Fox News Network - although they show an obvious tilt to the right, you do get a "fair and balanced" picture.

 

[Mr NJ Sports]

...you have a brain.

 

[BoratSagdiyev]

For someone who makes accussation on me being uninformed I can tell you somethings. My English is 3 times so good as yours so please stop with criticism of my language barrier, focus on the issue. I may have pimples but I am more educationed than most of those who have been making responses on this thread. I may be from Almaty but that doesn't stop me from being Allmighty! Allrighty?

[bblight]

Borat, what are you talking about?

I'm criticizing your un-informed comments, not your facility with the written english word!

 

[BoratSagdiyev]

Where are you from bblight?

 

[bblight]

Just south of Boston, MA.

Where are you from?

 

[BoratSagdiyev]

Right in Boston. Drinks?

 

[bblight]

You're in Boston?

If you are, you can join me in my boycott of the DNC!

What do you say?

 

[BoratSagdiyev]

and then dinner and a movie ok?

[bblight]

Do you know any Boston restaurants that serve a good Cous cous? That's the one dish my wife doesn't excel at. I have to go the Morrocco in Disneyworld to get a decent Cous cous.

I've wanted to see Kill Bill part II. My Kids got me Kill Bill, and I loved it!

 

[BoratSagdiyev]

I can't think of any of the top of my head. Kill Bill 2 was even better.
