Exactly, that's me. Except I won't vote for the Republicans anymore because they are religious zealots and most want to kill me. And I won't for for democrats because THEY want to take my guns away so the Republicans CAN kill me. There is no solution short of anarchy.
Why oh why can't we just have a MODERATE government that doesn't STEAL and SQUANDER our money, that respects the Constitution and rights of all and is willing to compromise for the good of everyone. Is that so much to ask?
What is really sad/sick is at this point I'd rather have that commie Sanders over the criminal Hillary and Trump over the religious extremists. How can any man run for president on a platform of taking rights away from Americans?
It can be used in a condescending way, but it doesn't top terms like 'sheeple' or when people say 'wake up people', as if people cannot be aware of the issues and disagree with some idiot at the same time.
This attitude used to be exclusive property of the conspiracy nuts who thought the Matrix was real, but has made its way into mainstream political discourse thanks to loudmouths like Limbaugh.
I honestly don't think I've ever come across someone who has used terms like that while making a complex, insightful point. It's always some variant of 'the government cannot be trusted and we're on the verge of becoming its slaves, protect your freedoms before the apocalypse!!!'
Let us say you are wealthy and gay. It may be in your economic interest to vote Republican but on social issues you may prefer Democrats.
You may.
On the other hand, Obama was against gay marriage until about two years ago, and Clinton signed off on "don't ask, don't tell" and the "Defense of Marriage Act."
Yeah, those Democrats were so great on gay rights.
It's ironic that the head of Mozilla was fired for advocating traditional marriage -- with gays calling for his head -- when Obama had advocated the same thing -- but he was a hero to gays.
Yep, the dems brainwashed the gays. Just like they brainwashed minorities.
Democrats and liberals think they're smart, and never fail to let you know that they think they're smart.
They're actually stupid.
Smart people don't need to brag about it.
There are smart and stupid people on both sides of the aisle. Often the only difference between the two is that the "smarter" ones are just more eloquent when they are expressing their delusions. Intelligence does not make one immune from bias.
Am I the only one that finds this statement highly offensive? I usually hear it from democrats ...
Really? There must have been at least ten threads started by republicans about how blacks are voting against their own interests when they vote democrat, and it's used in many posts by republicans.
Let us say you are wealthy and gay. It may be in your economic interest to vote Republican but on social issues you may prefer Democrats.
Except, if one votes Democrat they have a future of being a "victim" like all the others. Democrats don't exactly make good future voters, they end up making diverse angry victims.......not a very good interest for society.

For many ONLY one party holds this. I think we should start suing the Dems for ensuing violence upon the people! The BLM group seem to think they can go around beating up people who don't support BLM.......the newest a returning Iraq soldier.
