"If your political position is in disagreement with my own you must hate america/be butthurt"
i.e. (mods: rename this "the butthurt thread")
kudos to Dirty for exemplifying this particular brand of conservative silliness
I agree with this post LickNeckey.. but the Gay Marriage thing is a talking point enmeshed with major butthurtness, as it shows up on several threads of wide ranging topics.
Also, complaining about "National Defense" huh? Well, just because you constantly use the word "paradigm" doesn't mean you have a grasp on our nation's complex foreign policies. Basically, the world is a shithole, and we need a strong military so we can kill muslim babies and torture people and get oil from them while we convert them to Christianity. DUH!
Anyways, I am a conservative so I'll really quickly comment on a few of the things Pike brought up.
Against legalizing drugs- (Weed, legalize. Others don't)
Against Muslims practicing their religion (Not this conservative)
Against bringing troops home (Here is the deal... They are already there, whether or not they should be there in the first place is another argument. However, we can't just say "Peace out bitches" and leave abruptly like the Ron Paul Neo-Isolationist retards want to)
pro Israel (You probably have no understanding of our history with Israel or its founding, so I'm not going to even attempt to try explaining this one. I will say that it is better than Pro "Palestine" )
Anti abortion (Oh noooo, "women's health"
. FYI, There is a difference between a medical abortion, and the millions of elective abortions performed in our country. Any objective observer can see that life begins at conception. If it does not, someone is designating an arbitrary point where the "fetus" becomes "human." For example, So 1 second before it is born it is not a human, but once it passes 6 inches down the birth canal it is? What about its location changes "what" it is.. I mean, does the fact that I move to New York or LA change who I am? The only difference between you and a "fetus" is your size, your level of human development, your environment, and your degree of dependency on your mother... which judging by the liberals' posts, most of them probably live with them)
Gay Marriage should be a Church and State issue. If churches want to marry gay people, the state should recognize it like they recognize other marriages performed by clergy. Problem solved.
