I’m voting Democrat because: I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

I’m voting Democrat because: I believe that paying $4.00
a gallon or more is no reason to drill for the mountain of oil we are sitting on in THIS country. We wouldn’t want to have to move a couple of Polar bears now would we?

You all know I’m kidding right?

That was some of the finest use of irony I’ve seen on any firearms forum.

You must be a mick.

3

Its beautiful!!! :smiley:
And sadly too close to the truth:(

4

Perfect description of dimocrats.

5

It is so funny, because it is so close to the truth

It is so close to the truth, it is very, very scary!!!

Well done sir!!!

6

i vote to raise money so that we can buy some cable air time, and you can broadcast this 24-7. to arms brothers

7

I cringe every time something like this gets posted.

Fellow conservatives, I hold you to a higher standard.

8

Why?

You do realize he’s kidding?

9

Irony? Pooh. You converted me, I’m voting Dem also. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well my quote was edited, but my point was that for every list like this that goes around about liberals there’s another one for conservatives. I think we should take the “high road” instead of going tit for tat with the left. Let rational arguments and maturity speak for themselves.

11

I don’t understand what’s not rational about using a little irony. There is a long tradition of this on BOTH sides. It was far less hyperventilation than people like Hannity and O’Reilly (or Begala/Carville for that matter) engage in AND it was a clever and humorous way of poking holes in the liberal pretense which relies on two salient dishonesties:

  1. That government CAN solve all your problems.

  2. That government SHOULD solve all your problems.

He wasn’t:

  1. Telling falsehoods.

  2. Making personal attacks.

Even still politics isn’t softball.

What high road do you mean?

Sorry but I see no “higher standard” in laying down…and it certainly won’t get us anywhere in November.

12

Fair enough John, just putting in my .03c (.02c adjusted for inflation :wink: )

13

The man’s got a point, and a damned good one.

Irrespective of the political point of view, such lists are equally funny (which isn’t to say they’re funny) and equally stoopid.

Well, that’s not gonna happen, if only because “maturity” is in short supply among American voters.

Irrational fears and puerile humor grab more votes than “rational arguments” ever will. It’s why they call it “talk radio” and not “think radio.”

14

lol :). Great piece

15

Excellent post! I take the Townhall mag and liked it there too.

16

I’m no fan of many right wing pundits, any more than left wing ones. I think you’ve seen enough of my criticism of the former to know that I’m not a knee-jerk conservative.

While I may not totally agree with everything on the list, much of it cut clear to the bone…and was quite accurate in highlighting the stoopidity of many democratic positions. Satire has a long tradition in politics.

I don’t totally agree with Jonathan Swift either, and much of his satire was indeed “puerile” according to the standards of the day. In fact he made a point of poking holes at others’ pretensions…much like the list above. In fact such satire is often MORE useful (not to mention intelligent) than simple name-calling.

I’m not sure I understand what is so objectionable…no one was called a nazi and nothing was said that was untrue.

17

The best thing about independent critical thought is being able to see the wisdom (and the idiocy) in all points of view. When I read the original post, it struck me as nothing more than an overburdened chestnut tree.

I’d agree every point of view has stupidity (we are human after all).

I’d disagree that every point of view has wisdom.

Following an idea to its inevitable, logical conclusion reveals a point of view for what it is.

It’s invariably a good thing to see the forest for the trees.

19

Only one word is needed to describe anyone voting Democrat this time around—FOOL.

20

Yes, overburdened, but almost exclusively with facts. Maybe you would dispute some of them?

And yes, we could do the same with the Republicans, but the branches would not be nearly as strained.

He’s just telling it like it is. :slight_smile:
