What is your "purpose?"

I don't think I said that. When he was running against Kerry, I may have said that he would expand the government less, but I stand by that opinion.

You said it , but it is useless to stand by a hyopothetical situation since it is impossible to prove now isn't it ?

You said in 2k that bush would run our govt like a business. You were right, like Bear and Stearns.
 
My purpose is to take a sample of extremist opinions on both sides.

My other purpose is to anger said extremists.

I don't think I said that either, and judging by the thread posted about "running government like a business" you aren't anywhere near being in favor of that.

I never have liked the Bush family, but when it was a choice between a Bush and a Socialist, I picked the Bush. Lesser of two evils, in my opinion. I also think George W. Bush has some accomplishments to be proud of as a two-term president... and yes, I know you disagree with that. While he hasn't been very good at balancing the budget or reducing the size and scope of government, he did cut taxes and pull us out of the Clinton recession.

And I have to say, for a 'lefty' you are pretty fair and balanced. I respect that. I don't always agree with you, but I can respect your opinion of things because you don't seem to be dripping koolaid when you post. Keep up the good work angering extremists, maybe they will go away some day!! :)

Lefties call me a righty and righties call me a lefty so I must be doing something right.

I read the threads here day after day, and it's always the same people, making the same arguments or bashing the same things, over and over. There is very little in the way of innovative thinking or bold exploration of new horizons. It's typically the same old, same old, day in and day out.

I am curious as to why this phenomenon continues, even though it never results in any tangible benefit that I am aware of. If there were some evidence that people are being persuaded or minds are being changed by the rhetorical postings, it would make sense, but that isn't the case. It seems fairly clear, that not one soul will read the latest ramblings and change their minds, or come to any better understanding of anything. So why do you bother? What is the purpose of all this waste of human energy and time? You would literally accomplish more by cleaning your toilet, than posting another "I HATE BUSH" thread.

Yet, we keep seeing the same exact people, posting the same exact threads, about the same exact topics, with the same exact views they posted yesterday, the day before, and the day before that. It makes no sense, unless there is some 'therapeutic' element I am not aware of. It's the intellectual equivalent of beating your head against a brick wall, isn't it? Seems like one would eventually tire of repeating the rhetoric, and move on with life. Apparently, there are many here who simply have no life, and for whatever reason, think their postings here make some great difference in the scope of the world. As if, they can post just one more anti-religious or anti-conservative rant, and everyone will simply drop their viewpoints and humbly bow at the alter of Atheist Socialism.

Guess what? That ain't going to happen. In the end, you will have wasted an enormous amount of your life, typing shit that didn't make a bit of difference to anyone or to anything. Perhaps it is a way of 'networking' for some? They can post a rant and receive support from someone else, and feel they are not alone in their idiotic principles and ideas? Sort of a "support group" thing. There has to be some logical explanation for why humans would spend so much of their time to accomplish so very little. Just wondering what that may be.

I'm here to deprogram internationalist fascists like you. I am effective, perhaps not on you, but on others reading silently in cyberspace. You are a convenient moron helping me illustrate the dangerous fascist mindset that seems to prevail these days. Thanks for your service.
