I find it quite amusing that the lefties on this board think that they are in the minority and the righties think the same.

I think it's pretty equal, actually. Or maybe, with the exception of us extremists (see what I did thar?) lefties are sometimes too frightened to be out and out lefties and righties are too stubborn to admit to out and out rightism. :lol:

Word.

IM has a point. 2 when it's cold.


I think there are a couple of very vocal life long lefties, a couple of young haven't experienced anything yet lefties, and a whole lot of left leaning centrists. I also think there are a handful right leaning centrists (including a lifelong democrat) and a couple of right wing nutjobs.

I'm not really a right wing nutjob, I just play one in the cellar. I happen to hate the republicans with as much conviction as I do the democrats.

How can anyone admit to being a Democrat. It was the party of slavery and opression. Isn't admiting to being a Democrat the same as claiming to be a Nazi (in the overall magnitude of evil)? Nazism was "squashed" in 1945, but Democrats continue to systematically deny civil rights and even commit murders up until the late 1960's.

Democrats = Nazis = Pure Evil

That's helpful.

Big Sarge 05-12-2011 08:20 PM

You have to admit it is true. Do you support lynch mobs, segregation, and slavery?

Sarge - Up until now I assumed that you were a right-leaner with brain cells. But this divisive post makes me question that assumption. Do you really imagine that such posts convince left-leaners the error of their ways?

If this was intended to be a humorous mocking of some other Dwellar's style, then you should have stuck a smiley on it. Irony can be really hard to detect on the internet.

Either way - not helping.

How about this: ;)

It makes about as much sense as some of opinions posted about George Bush & Republicans. Everything I said is factual. It all comes down to how you interpret the data

OK. And how persuasive did you find those posts?

Big Sarge 05-12-2011 08:45 PM

realistically, no one on here will change their political beliefs based upon posts on the cellar. do you??

That's not true. I have been persuaded by the arguments of people here on certain issues. Maybe not to believe what they believe but to modify my opinions/views. Why bother interacting with people if you are not going to consider what they have to say?

monster 05-12-2011 09:06 PM

Not many will admit having been won over, perhaps? But I'm pretty sure I've seen others who have conceded points and modified their views accordingly.

Or maybe I was dreaming

Pete Zicato 05-12-2011 09:10 PM

I'm open to persuasion on many topics. And yes, I have modified my thinking more than once based on conversations here at the cellar.

If you won't learn from today, what need have you for tomorrow?

glatt 05-12-2011 09:11 PM

I've adjusted my views because of posts in the Cellar.

Not recently though. There haven't been too many good political conversations lately.

monster 05-12-2011 09:18 PM

heehee .....I see fodder for the righties claiming right! (even though i gotta say one of my major wake-up calls/changes of POV was how giving certain extremists an inch led them to take a mile so I realized I needed to steer in the other direction :lol:)

I thought you used the metric system.

Please re-post with appropriate units.
