Politics

« on: May 18, 2004, 08:58:17 PM »

Why don’t we have a Politics section? A whole section, with boards for World Politics, US Politics, Elections and Candidate, political Theory, Economy, the Media, etc, etc

Discussing politics makes many more enemies than friends. (That is one of the truisms I've learned in my 49+ years on this earth.)

There is no such thing as a completely honest politician. Period.

A "Christian Politician” is an oxymoron – no one can be both. As much as I try to respect some of them (GWB comes to mind) they never fail to disappoint me. Then there is JFK (John Franken Kerry) – claims to be Catholic but is pro-infanticide? What greater bald-faced lie is there from anytime in history? None.

I’m not saying your idea is a bad one, Mr. Tibbs, but be prepared for things that will make the ‘Debate’ section read like minutes from a Sunday school class.

I have learned that in my 46 years.

I don't think we will have to worry about it hear. I think everyone is leaning a little to the right. Except for Sapph. He is a straight up Nazi. Grin

Ah, Fascists are so cute at that age.

Actually, they teach that in University level American Politics courses now Grin

That’s right, students with the money and/or intelligence to make it to a full University, your leaders of tomorrow, need a class to tell them Politicians lie. Ah, it's things like that that make me wish I believed in the Rapture. Grin

Tibby, that made me smile. But if I'm a Nazi, you're a Communist. Red.

Please, don't ever say "cute" again. It's...unnatural.

Hmmm - Nazis were the "Socialist" party (look it up) - that makes Nazis LEFT wing (liberal). (There are actually an amazing number of similarities between Hitler's Party and the American liberal - but that is for the political thread that may never materialize.)

Since we agree Sapph is right of center - he certainly can't be a Nazi. Grin

"NASCAR Redneck" may be closer... Cheesy

I don't know a lot about Sapph - but I can assure you he isn't "cute"... Wink

Yeah, we Illinoisans sure love watching 50 cars make left turns for three hours...it's our favorite pasttime.

I don't know a lot about Sapph - but I can assure you he isn't "cute"...

And I, who look at myself every day in the mirror, can assure YOU that you're wrong.
