So I went on a journey to find blue opebo...

(also, it seems very surprising that 20RP12 doesn't have some idea what his father is paid)

My father and I don't speak very often. About anything.

I see!  Though I'm still not clear if this is because he is a very taciturn man living in the family home, or he has simply buggered off.

He's very silent. He doesn't speak much at all. If he does speak, he's yelling.

Sorry to hear about that.  Is he a Republican?

Yep. He supported Rick Santorum until he dropped out.

Perfect!

I am so sorry.  I could not imagine my existence really if I had not had a father whom I admired and adored. At least superficially, you seem to be handling it well, which is more than I think would have been the case in my case. That takes a lot of maturity and guts.

I was thinking of writing something a bit like that myself.  Nice sentiments.  I miss my father quite often.

if I have a ton of time this summer and fail to progress as a person I may write A Brief History of opeboism

I wish you the worst.

Nor could I... not at all. Props to you, 20RP12.

Was a blue Opebo a caricature, or was Opebo at one point, actually blue? I thought he is almost 40, so his views were probably very settled at that age(30ish).

Thank you. This means quite a lot.

I lived a very unsettled life with an extremely extended adolescence.

That would describe my life but I am not a Republican.

This thread got to page 5 without any other amusing blue opebo quotes being posted?

Were you ever spoiled, rich, and free from the humiliation of paid employment well into 'adulthood'?  (and with 'country club Republican' parents to boot?)

Currently all of the above except my parents are Democrats.

Can someone provide some "blue" Opebo literature? I was under impression  that Opebo's dad held a union job though.
edit: oh wow, it had to flip one page to find it.
Here's my favorite:

If "saving" a country from "socialism" is an excuse for setting a coup d'etat that leads to a fascist dictatorship how come the same was never done to Sweden?

Thinking about that, opebo, do you think that the murder of Olof Palme was justified?

This will be an interesting answer...Sweden was a western country, though, and we weren't THAT socialist. But it's still a good point. Where do one stop? France would probably be a much better example, they left NATO, courted the SOviets, and tried to nationalize the banks.

Gustaf, Realpolitik,

US intervention, as in Chile, should be primarily to benefit US interests, not merely to oppose socialism in principle (though it is in principle an evil, imo).  But as far as within the country itself I don't see how you can blame the Right - and more to the point property owners - from trying to defend themselves against 'democratic' expropriation by whatever means necessary.  In this extremity one is lucky to have a Pinochet to turn to.  The thought that the majority of the 'people' voted to rob you of your property is no comfort at all - you will still fight for it if you can, including by a forcible coup, removing the socialist regime if possible.

Well I guess can someone show the post which has the inflection point where opebo when from blue-purple to deep red?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

So about when did he go off the reservation in Thailand?

Well done SS!  Of course I'd long since forgotten that myself, but I don't doubt it may very well have been my first post expressing the Change Of Life.

Give SS a Max Hardcore video as a prize.
