"If the government does it, I don't have to bother doing it! Genius!"
Wrong thread. Here is the thread you may be looking for.

What Do The Democrats Like?

So Johnny, Why didn't you tell the OP that his thread failed and that republicanas don't fit into neat little boxes??

Hmm makes one wonder. A little strange.
You type "our strategy" so you admit you are in cahoots? But then you criticize. . . I'm a bit disappointed. . .

Both of these threads are quiet silly (this thread and the What Do The Democrats Like? thread). Its funny how anyone thinks that any person who represents a political party falls into one carefully built box. Not all republicans are the same, not all democrats are the same, not all Christians are the same, not all Muslims are the same. I think this is a problem with the P&OC forum too many people, too often, group one group of people into a corner and say this is what this group of people represents. The problem with this is when the people come out who don't agree with everything that is said and done in their group, hook, line and sinker.

But don't listen to me, I'm just the crazy one talking in the corner.

Who's "my" group? I didn't know I belong to any.

Oh, it's that liberal labeling thingy again isn't it. Categorize everyone who disagrees with you so you can then attack them and call them names.

John you missed my point and rather pointed question to you, purposely?

Never mind. . . .

A lot of people on the left like to put people in neat little boxes. They can make sense of their world better this way. lol.

They dont like Muslims. They dont like liberals. They dont like feminists. They dont like Hollywood. They dont like NBC, ABC, CBC, and PBS. The dont like NPR. Who do they like?
Do you have any evidence to back up your rant?

What the point of your thread that mimics this one? No I didn't miss your point, I know your thread was sarcasm, but the way you created it didn't convey a very strong sense of sarcasm because otherwise you may have brought up this thread in your OP, you may have added one of these () at the end, and you would have included this post in the thread http://www.city-data.com/forum/15847772-post9.html where you went on to say you were actually hoping to have a conversation about this. If it truly was sarcasm, you would have let the thread die or just roll your eyes at me.

Here is the specific part of that post that I am referring to:

Quote:
I was pleasantly surprised by the initial tone of your post, even encouraged. thought we could have a friendly debate. Unfortunately resorted to type at last moment.
This leads me to believe you were serious about the thread you started because you were hoping to go on and spend time debating your stance you took in the OP of the thread.
