I did not say that you specifically called me names or used profanity but you have expressed hostility toward me and other conservative-minded posters here.

I lumped you in a group of individuals that can easily be defined as angry liberals. What are all of you so irritated about? Your side easily won, you have victory. It is fear among liberals that conservatives are taking a stand against them, and will most likely take over D.C. in 2010 or 2012.

Christianity is the only religion that counts and should only be followed by all who wish to spend their eternal lives in the kingom of Heaven. People have the choice and self-control over their own lifestyles. Everyone creates their own destiny, I cannot create it for them but I can encourage them to become better individuals.
No, Christianity is not the only religion that counts. The kingDom of Heaven likely doesn't even exist, but you're too delusioned to see it.

Many, many people in the world practice a wide variety of religions other than Christianity. Many practice no religion at all. You're not any more "right" than they are.

This does not necessarily mean that Jim Crow laws should still be enforced because segregation already occurs naturally to a certain extent. People of different races, skin colors, religions, and viewpoints tend to stick with those that are similar to them. They choose to be separated.

Everybody is equal in that nobody is inferior as a human being, but integration cannot be forced when it has been proven that it does not effectively work.
Segregation still occurs somewhat, I'll grant you that, but not to the extent you apparently think.

You said "this does not necessarily mean that Jim Crow laws..." I'm curious, if Jim Crow laws could be reinstated would you support them? The qualifier "necessarily" indicates to me that you feel they at least could be a great idea.

America is not 1950 Alabama/Mississippi. Get that into that thick skull of yours.

Yikes, I'm a conservative and I'm not on your side on this one.

And you wonder why some people have called you out...Listen Yikes, us liberals are not angry, but we are tired of many of the things that you have posted to us. I could list them all, but I'm not going to do that. I could also make a list of all the obnoxious, rude & angry conservatives on this forum, but I won't.

I don't even know when I've expressed hostility toward you and would like you to point that out.

In the meantime, I'm not an angry liberal, at all. I'm an angry individual because you "lumped me in a group" without backing that classification up at all.

I'm not sure what fear you think liberals feel, but you are sorely mischaracterizing me. I think you need to put a little more time into getting to know about the people who disagree with you before you start slapping labels on them.

Let me state it this way --

If Jim Crow laws or proposals similar to them were put to a vote and the majority of registered voters approved, I would support them. Otherwise I would not support the forcing of segregation nor integration.

With that said, nobody should be forced to accept or tolerate things that are disagreeable. If I believe the races should remain pure and marriage should be between a man and a woman that is my right. Nobdody can force-feed political correctness as much as it has been tried because we can choose to reject it.

Yeah, euromutt did say homosexual acts should be punished with "death".

Unlike thefinalsay, I don't think that euromutt was joking - although he did send me a friend request, and I accepted it! We actually get along fine. It's much easier to get along with someone who is anti-gay and is calm about it than the ones who crudely rant and rave about it.

You give away power, it cannot be taken from you. Unless it is stolen from you in deceitful ways, as was done by the Bush Administration without our knowledge. We took back our power by electing Obama.

It appears that losers are usually angry. The "Far-Right" is angry because they lost. They lost, first of all, because the Republican party chose a candidate who was NOT a far-right-wing nut and that made them mad. Remember Limbaugh raging against McCain?

Then McCain, to appease this vocal but tiny faction of the Republican party, chose---out of desperation because he was badly losing not because he was a moderate Republican trying so hard to appear conservative but because he was just... bad (as in "out of touch," "unintelligible," "ridiculous," etc.), he chose a far-right-wing nut, Sarah Palin, as his running mate. That sure was a clever move (not!). Ever the gambler, that McCain!

So, let's get this straight: it's not the liberals who are mad, or the centrists, or even the center-of-right folk; no, it's the far-right-wing, socially conservative, bible-thumping fundamentalists who are FURIOUS! They have lost, and lost not just this election, but the whole shebang. And until they get on board with a nation that desires to move in a progressive direction, they'll continue to lose.

Maybe the OP missed the still existent Obama Birth Certificate Thread or any thread posted by ELORocks. Must have his eyes closed when sanrene posts anything or truegrit..

Liberals simply have a very difficult time understanding and accepting ignorance, bigotry and mindless hate and opposition, at least this liberal.
Exactly! If I'm "angry" at anything, it is the type of thing that you listed. Most of it is so completely inane, it isn't worth getting angry about. Better to just refute it or laugh at it.
