Whatever you say

I'll take that queer remark as you finally having a semi-smart thought and shutting the fuck up. Thanks

change doesn't start with hope it starts with planning, hard work, and at the very least a little bit of intelligence.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Why do I have to say something "original?" I have a viewpoint that is shared with a lot of people. The ban on gays in the military should never have been imposed in the first place, but that's what people do when they are scared or freaked out by something different; they pass legislation so that they don't have to come in contact with it. And I feel it's time to get over it.

Evidence? Support for your point? Hell.... a logical argument would work! You however have none, you stand up like a child and say you want something then you fail to offer any valid proof for why I or anyone else should take your claims seriously or with any thought. You keep talking about how you "want" to change this country to fit the ideas of liberty you believe this country should fully embrace and yet you have offered no substance whatever to back up your beliefs. Unlike a slick salesmen once told this country change doesn't start with hope it starts with planning, hard work, and at the very least a little bit of intelligence.

That's a little scary actually.

I'm kind of joking btw, I actually haven't read a single one of your posts I'm just a giant asshole and a chauvinist pig

[SlowLX]

lol @ you making assumptions about my life based on what I've posted in this thread.

lol @ you still not having come up with a decent and original point that could be considered as having added to the intelligence of anything that's been posted.

Oh & this country is currently considered a "Democratic Republic" since we have combined certain principles from Democracy & Republicanism.

don't argue with me either since I teach History & actually know what the fuck I'm talking about! lol

I was going to say something about that, so thanks for taking care of it for me.

The only thing that was going to come out of your cock holster was more ambiguity about this or that in reference to some great ideal of liberty that is almost as a big an American myth as American exceptionalism. You haven't had a well articulated or complex thought since the day you popped of your mom's hatchet wound.

Actually this country began to cease being a republic after the Republicans won the civil war and forced an expanded democracy on the country. Our grand parents willingness to accept judicial activism during the progressive period and the nation wide support for the 17th amendment cemented that transition to a fully fledged Democracy. Calling America a pure republic today is akin to a Roman circa the 1st century CE claiming Rome was still a republic. Btw the political party names have nothing to do with the terms republic and democracy.

Thank you for saying this...they were killing me with getting the parties mixed up with the terms of Republic & Democracy!

Well at least we know who the liberals are around here. kimmypie, gsxrguy, exdude, lason, and a few others. Good to know where people stand. Not really bashing them, just trying to get a feel for their point of view and future conversations we may have.

Can you not read? I am NOT a fucking liberal. I am a Libertarian. Huge difference. Google it if you don't know what it means. Enlighten yourself & stop making yourself sound ignorant.

You know what? I'll do it for you...

I think people should be able to do what they want without other people telling them what to do...this takes self discipline, but I DON'T think the govt should tell people what to do.

Do you understand the difference? If you can't grasp it, I'll be glad to answre any questions you have about it.

[SlowLX]

Perhaps. I take it you are talking about the slavery that was around during its inception. But guess what? Its gone. Let it go. You might have a point if slavery hadn't ended well over 100 years ago.



Actually, this is a Republic, not a Democracy. So it sounds like the republicans belong, and the democrats don't. There really isn't any arguing with this. I mean one of the guys who created the freakin' country, said that it was. Arguing against that would be just like arguing with henry ford that his assembly line wasn't an assembly line. You don't change the republic. You live in it and like it, or you are free to move out. No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to stay. So why don't you go see what all those other countries are all about, and then see if you still think our country is so awful. You'll beg on your knees to come back. I'm sure the muslims that you love so much, would welcome you with open arms. Oh wait no they wouldn't lol they'd hate you even as you try to defend them. And you have the nerve, to wonder why people don't like them! Your whole thought process is a joke.
