Comedy Goldmine XI: The Atlas Forum Demilitarized Zone

[Lunar]

I think the internet needs an age limit

I agree.  Frankly I'm sick of JSojourner, Torie, muon2 et al polluting our lovely forum with their incessant potty mouthing and general time-wasting.

We could also set the limit to be anything before one minute before your birthday to anything after one minute after your birthday

Virginia is still a Republican state.

Collins or Snowe would struggle there.
If Obama lets all the illegal immigrants gain citizenship, that will produce huge numbers for Democrats in the Southwest. Texas would be a toss-up state, possibly lean Obama.

OMG you know what?  I could see him trying to weasle some thing like this through. automatic citizenship for illegals and a free ride to the polls.  wow...that would be similar to how Kennedy stole the 1960 election with daileys "help".  DemocRATs are scary.

Coburn's posts increasingly remind me of Grassley's tweets.

that's because people are increasingly being suckers for him.  Every time you make fun of him, he's de facto making fun of him because his entire fake persona is designed to make you do exactly that.

really, reposting his stuff on the comedy thread is counterproductive

We need to get this man a column on the Wall Street Journal ASAP.

Nothing against the non-editorial parts of the WSJ, of course.

You only have 22 posts... you can't remember that incident, right?

If we know terrorists are using the Internet to plan how to hurt Americans, we need to give our President the tools he needs to keep us safe.

I'm not going to tell that mother waiting outside her kids' pre-school to pick little Caitlin and Ethan up that we didn't do everything in our power to protect them from evildoers. Will you?

I wonder what you would be saying if Bush had ever dared to propose such a measure.

Always been a big fan of "emergency powers" BTW.  Really healthy for liberty.

Emergency powers are the kind of things you need to have in case liberty is ever seriously threatened. If the zombies arrive in my town, I'd like us to be prepared.

is antibible a word now?

Indeed.  I'd imagine it could also be a verb as well as an adjective; e.g. "Those atheists were antibibling all up in my face and shit."  Or perhaps even a noun too; e.g. "Dreams of my Father is the Antibible we've all been expecting."

good response sir.

I've been so hilarious lately (IMHO), it's so saddening to see second-tiers profiting off of my regular posts

[Lunar]

How do you feel about a national bank?

This is only funny because of his screen name. He's still a tool.

You're the tool. I already outlined how helpful it would be economically.

No, I'm pretty sure you're the tool. BUT MEEKER IS WORSE.

First Lunar, now you?

damn I had the same thought, I didn't realize I was such a trend-setter

[Lunar]

he's always seemed so manly to me too

[Lunar]

The blacks from the ghetto aren't even going to bother showing up, therefore making the blacks that do show up more conservative.

[not gonna respond to any attempts to debate]

I thought those blacks were anti-gun control too

You've intrigued me ever since I came to this place.  There's just something about you.  Your username.  Your actual name-it's quite sexy.  The way the state of NJ is shaped on your sidebar and the beautiful blue that shines from it.

If that's a Deeds joke it's quite hilarious.

I enjoyed briefly scanning this post

I'd be amused to see an alternative scenario in which Hoffman is running on the GOP/Conservative line, and Scozzafava as the third party candidate with only the Independence party, simply to see htmldon's spin in support of Hoffman.

Issue-for-issue, I probably line up more with Hoffman so I suppose you would be right.

I'm sure there are third-party candidates out there that I would agree with more from time to time, but would/should I support them?  Hell no.  Politics is about coalition-building.  If center-right folks start running off into separate ideological camps and leave a united Democratic party, we would have 435 Democratic members of congress.

Scozzafava is certainly to my left on a number of issues - but her position in the Republican party is attacked in the exact same way, using the same methods, by the same people - as my position in the Republican Party.  She's for gay marriage, I'm for civil unions - but I assure you that there are large portions of the Republican Party that doesn't want either position represented in the Party.  She's pro-choice, I'm mostly pro-life but with some exceptions -- but I assure you that there are large portions of the Republican Party that believe that even a hint of tolerance for pro-choice candidates makes one a RINO.   I don't think y'all understand just how bad this sh**t gets.... there is a large and vocal segment of our Party that believes that our most recent Presidential nominee is a liberal that should be thrown out of the Party.

To these folks, many of whom are lining up behind Hoffman's candidacy:

• If you believe in science, you're a liberal Democrat.
• If you believe in Evolution, you're a liberal Democrat.
• If you believe in global warming, you're a liberal Democrat.
• If you support market-based systems to deal with Carbon emissions (like McCain did), you're a Communist.
• If you believe that pro-choice candidates can run as Republicans in moderate districts, you're a RINO and should become a Democrat
• If you're pro-choice, you're already a liberal Democrat.
• If you don't like Fox News, you're a liberal Democrat.
• If you don't attend Church, you're a liberal Democrat.
• If you are fiscally conservative, but are socially moderate, you're a liberal Democrat.
• If you are socially conservative, but fiscally moderate: you're a liberal Democrat.

..... and so on and so forth.


For the citizens of NY-23, this election is about who would make the best Representative in Congress for their interests. 

Yet for the nation, and its political institutions, it has broader implications.  I'm not endorsing Scozzafava for President, for RNC Chair, for chairman of our Platform committee - but I will proudly stand up for her right to be a Republican.

Alright, all of this must be answered.  Starting first with your list:

If you believe in science, you're a liberal Democrat.
-This is the ad hominem attack that liberal democrats always use.  It implies two things when a liberal uses it: that a conservative doesn’t support stem cell research and a conservative does not support global warming.  It also implies that both of those issues are settled “science” when they clearly are not.

If you believe in Evolution, you're a liberal Democrat.
-More often than not, yes, that’s true.  To believe in evolution is to suggest that man is nothing more than animal, and that as such, should not be governed by laws or morals of any kind.  Furthermore, evolution has been used to justify both eugenics (as advocated by liberal Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, initially against lower blacks) and genocide (Hitler, a socialist).  It has been used to justify all sorts of deviant sexual behavior (Im not talking homosexuality – that’s ok) such as bestiality, and sex with children.  Additionally, nearly every claim of evolution, has been debunked as fraudulent – including the taped moths on trees “experiment” that was placed in tons of textbooks.  The theory of course sounds good and rational, but there’s still no proof after all these years.

If you believe in global warming, you're a liberal Democrat.
-Or an idiot, see above about science… Even liberals don’t believe in global warming.  It is made up so that they can pass legislation to further their control over all aspects of peoples lives.

If you support market-based systems to deal with Carbon emissions (like McCain did), you're a Communist.
-See global warming…and those market-based systems funnel money to Goldman Sachs and GE, so the individual that supports isn’t Communist – they are Corrupt

If you believe that pro-choice candidates can run as Republicans in moderate districts, you're a RINO and should become a Democrat
-It entirely depends on what type of district the individual runs in.  Is that a pro-choice district, and if its not, why wasn’t the pro-life candidate selected?

If you're pro-choice, you're already a liberal Democrat.
-See above

If you don't like Fox News, you're a liberal Democrat.
-Yes that’s true too for the most part.  Liberals follow party and left-wing blog commands to hate Fox News and try to spread that message.   The reason why is because it exposes their corruption and has the only conservative opinion programs out of all of the major networks in addition to its traditional news and liberal opinion programs (Geraldo, Greta).

If you don't attend Church, you're a liberal Democrat.
-There you are just way off.  Another whiny claim…

If you are fiscally conservative, but are socially moderate, you're a liberal Democrat.
-Fine, but be full fledged fiscally conservative if you are one of those swinger types.  We can run them in liberal areas and that’s great, but most “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” republicans are hardly “fiscally conservative”.  See Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, et. al.

If you are socially conservative, but fiscally moderate: you're a liberal Democrat.
-Generally, the members of this group are not considered liberal to even the most right-wing.  It all depends on how truly “socially conservative” they are.  There’s more to social conservatism than just gay marriage and abortion – its school prayer, its patriotism, its immigration, etc.

Now, you say that you proudly support Scozzafava’s right to call herself a Republican.  I do too, but I do not support her claim to represent the party in elective office when she clearly holds the views of President Obama in all, but one issue, gun control.  She has voted for tax increases so many times that even her democrat opponent is attacking her for it.  She supports the most vile of President Obama’s legislation including card-check, deathcare, stimulus, and Im sure if given the opportunity, it would be even more.  The thing though that is most unforgivable about her is that she acts like a democrat.  A reporter from the Weekly Standard (a center-right magazine) came to one of her meetings to interview her.  She called the cops on him fraudulently claiming that he was screaming at her and that she was in fear of her safety.  The reporter did not scream at her at all, in fact he tried to politely ask her questions.  Even the cop who detained the reporter apologized wishing he didn’t have to detain him.

I don’t blame Scozzafava, however, for the whole fiasco.  I blame the NRCC and the elite republicans in Albany that got together to run her as our candidate in the first place.  A primary between her and Hoffman would have clearly rendered Hoffman the winner of that and the district because that district has been represented by a reliable conservative for years.  The NRCC’s involvement is what makes this such a poison pill for conservatives.  How can we support a party that won’t even run a conservative candidate in a conservative district?  And if you’re going to run a socially liberal candidate, then for God’s sake make sure they are completely fiscally conservative. Instead, they chose someone who even toyed with becoming a democrat prior to this special election.  It would have been Specter all over again, probably in shorter time.

Regarding NJ- States bluer than NJ such as CA,CT,HI,RI,and VT have Republican governors except those Republican governors are considered Moderates. Another scenario is Maryland in 2002- Republican Bob Ehrich defeated Kathleen Kennedy Townsend by a 52-48 percent margin. Ehrlich-R lost re-election in 2006. Christie-R will be a one termer like Ehrlich-R.

after seeing this thread turn, to use internets terms, "win," only Neal has the raw power of personality to even TRY to turn back to "fail."

it's funny because it's true
