The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I suppose I'll be the one who puts  these in here -

The Southern strategy had nothing to do with pandering to racists.

Didn't you read my links?  The Southern strategy had nothing to do with race.  It was about convincing Southern moderates who supported civil rights to fight against the segregationist Democrats by voting Republican.  And it's not ludicrous to point this stuff out.  If Republicans had been the party of slavery and segregation (as many high profile Democrats already suggest in their alternate history), no matter how long ago it was, would you want to support the GOP today?

And if Romney was really using racist "dog whistles", then surely you would have heard more controversy over it in this day and age.

The links in question -

First of all, race may have been a factor in 1964, but it wasn't after that.  And stop making fun of me on the Southern strategy.  Read these articles to prove my point:

Your move, liebirals.

I cannot abide these quotes being lost forever at the end of the previous page.

I'm amazed that he cited WND with a straight face.

Yes fellas.

Also, Hitler was aggravated into invading Poland.  World War II was the fault of the warmongering British. . . . . . .

Only lieberal hacks can deny this!

Gunner Joe McCarthy was a freedom fighter. The fact that the Democrats recognized the Soviet Union in 1933 and (willingly?) allowed communists to infiltrate the state and agricultural departments from 1934 to at least 1947, as proven accurate by the Venona project, is the main reason I will not vote for them.

So which was funnier this past week: Texas, where 4 veterans died when the parade float they were on was hit by a train, or Egypt, where 50 or so school kids died when the school bus they were on was hit by a train?

I would say the one with the veterans. School kids likely didn't have the time to kill anybody, so we can actually be sad about them dying.

Ah, the venerable tradition of 'posting directly into the thread'.

Hey, the man's an actual communist. Though I would have expected this from someone like FallenMorgan, actually.

Actually, I came into this thread, saw the bottom comment with the quote, and, before seeing who it was from, thought "oh, FallenMorgan's here".

Well, isn't it the absurdity, ignorance and bad post thread ?

Yes, but traditionally posts here are from posters who do not realize they are being absurd/ignorant/bad. It's a rare thing for somebody to post and aim to make it here (which is what you did with your veterans being hit by trains comment, right? Right?)

[Zanas]

Yeah I was trolling. As you know us Commies don't abide by any rules and nothing is sacred to us except the spilled blood of capitalist infants...

So I get it. I'll just be absurd somewhere else then !

[Simfan34]

I have insider information on the Democratic side.

Is it a "bad post"? Sure. But is it untrue? It is not.

[Paul Kemp]

453-85. No doubt a landslide. Huntsman would have made MASSIVE inroads with Hispanics and the wealthy educated urban classes. It would have been a realigning election. The 2016 map would have looked like this, no joke.

Huntsman would be like Reagan x2, without any fault or flaw. The 23rd Amendment might be repealed on the grounds of sheer stupidity.

[Paul Kemp]

I think he's joking.

I hope so.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I think he's joking.

I hope so.

It was worth putting here just in case.....cause I'm not so sure.

I'm not so sure either, especially given this post from the same thread:

This timeline accurately conveys what would have happened under a Huntsman presidency, sub-4% unemployment (aka full employment), trillion dollar surpluses, falling debt, rising power, 3/4+ approval ratings, and people angry unemployment is above the horrid rate of 5%. But Americans aren't that stupid, and wouldn't be so idiotic as to give us the map Maxwell presents us with. It would have been a 51-state sweep. But we were stupid enough to reject our chance at 24-year plus political dominance and mass prosperity.

If you guys weren't so new, you'd know I was serious. But Grumps should have known!

[memphis]

Without the illegal vote to Obama, Romney would be president elect in January. Democrats depend on the illegals so they can stay in power for more handouts to the poor.  I prove my point.

I'm not sure who you're talking to but I hope it's not me. I was here when you were pissing your Huggies. If I thought you were joking I would have put it in the Goldmine obviously.

Why is this so absurd? Did I use improper syntax or spelling? This is just an opinion which I hold and backed with some logic. It may not be logic that you agree with but I did present facts to back up my opinion. Is it because my statement does not mesh with your own particular view that my statement is "absurd"? If this is the fact than it is YOU who are absurd and deserve a place in this thread.

I'd say that the fact that the "main reason" you won't vote for a political party is because of stuff that happened nearly 80 years ago is pretty damn absurd and ignorant, for a start.

Nope. Back in the days of Reagan, you could get a job, earn enough to buy a house, a car, raise a family, all without incurring debt - pay the house off and own the surrounding land.

No it's mainly because he was defending McCarthy. I don't like communism, but his actions were immoral and probably illegal.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Both the defense of McCarthy and citing that as the "main reason" to never vote for the Democrats are mind-boggingly stupid.
