I never would have believed I could still learn something from these kinds of boards. I'm sure most have noticed I'm not open minded, and I truly, and deeply, dislike Republicans. I don't come here to be introduced to "new ideas" or to entertain opinions. I consider most people to be stupid. I know how bad that sounds, but it's honest. So it takes a lot to make me stop and re-evaluate something. So here are two things I learned.

Immie taught me that there can be a conservative Christian who is actually, nice, has a heart, and is not a complete fool, and can even be afforded some grudging respect. On some matters. He is lacking that terrible mean streak that so many of them I have run across have had.

And Care taught me something even more amazing. That a pro-life feminist actually exists. I never would have believed it, and didn't until I read enough of her posts. She is a feminist. And the real thing too. And a liberal.

Now, with me, there almost always has to be a funny part. And the funny part with them is, they drive each other nuts. I lmao when they start going at each other, and Care needles him until he goes off. They should actually do head-on debates, because they are actually very funny.

Oh,, and I guess I should add that IHG reminded me, rather than taught me, because I actually already knew this but sometimes I forget it, that first impressions are not always good ones. Because I took him to be a real arrogant prick, to tell the truth. And, he's ok. He defintely needs some work, but he's ok. Ok, so now everyone can hold up their who gives a fuck signs. :) But maybe some other people want to mention something they learned from someone here. It could be fun. Or not. Whatever.
 
Care is more of a populist than a liberal... two completely different ideas. You're also much more of a populist than a liberal, and have made some very bigoted remarks at some times, in line with the populists.

I consider a lot of people stupid too. You just happen to be one of them.

Although you of course, know me best, I fit neither of those two labels.

I might be stupid Water, but I'll tell ya, I was smart enough to have some good laughs when you made that post dissing the libertarian website, and then the founder came here and made you look like the goddamned childish fool you are.

Now that was comedy. I never did give you props for actually having the nerve to show your face again.
 
H2O is good people with a strong hand at true light handed humor, the kind that allows him to find the good without taking it too seriously. He's definitely headed for some success IMO.
 
Thanks Darla but some are going to tell you that I am not a conservative. I used to be until I really read what they were saying. Even though I may agree with the "stated" goals of conservatives, when I look at their methods and the hate they portray, I'm not interested in that. In my humble opinion, you cannot be conservative and not have compassion at the same time. Unfortunately, most prominent conservatives do not understand compassion.

I think those who were around in the politics.com days will tell you that of anyone on site(s), I have changed more than anyone else.

As for Care and I doing head-on debates. We've done them mixed into threads and we've done them on yahoo. I never win! Even when I am right (usually ;) ) she won't admit it. She never apologizes for things she says and I always end up mad and having to apologize. She lives by the typical female-lib philosophy: never apologize and never admit you might be wrong let alone you are wrong. ;)

Really Immie? Funny how that sounds more like my boyfriend's motto.

But anyway, you two are funny, and your political evolution is interesting too. :)

I am right most all of the time, in our arguments! :D

That's not true about apologizing....I have appologized for things I have said to you in the heat of the moment...it is YOU that has never apologized!

Anyway, that is long past....Darla thinks we argue now, but she has NO IDEA as to what kind of real fights that we can get in to....does she? lol

I never, ever thought I would catch you in a flat out lie. I guess this goes to prove there is a first time for everything. I don't remember you ever apologizing but I know I have apologized thousands of times for my outbursts.

Ain't that the truth!! :)

I've always had fun just talking about this stuff. Politics is a rather important subject. I don't think anybody has changed my mind about anything, well other than the outcome in Iraq. (I was, and still am, against undeclared war, I just thought they would probably find these "WMD" when they went in regardless of my objection).

I think one of the reasons we can get in to these down and dirty fights is because we both know that we are Christians with similar but not precise beliefs, and we know that we both know.... how we are to handle our differences, from what we have been taught, thru similar rearings.... (even though we have gone beyond those teachings with meanness towards eachother, we know that we will come to terms with it, with eachother, because in the end, we love eachother as brothers and sisters in Christ should do....)

Anyway, I am glad we have had the knockdown drag out fights...it has brought you to an "Awakening".... :D!!!!!!!

We've got a good crew over here. When you spend enough time on these boards it starts to become somewhat of a community. Day in and out even those who are diametrically opposed to your views seem to be pretty nice people despite their views.

Just about everybody here would be a good one to grab a brew with.

I totally agree.

And Care, I'm thinking of how to respond to your last. Give me some time.

Darla,

nice post.

Immie and Care are constant reminders to me, what real Christian-believers are like.

I tend to get carried away with the Jerry Falwell crap.
