OT: History repeats itself

LOL! You're right, Rav, it can be fun! Does it make a difference? Perhaps. I have changed my thoughts on some issues discussed here (um ,ever so slightly) but there has been somewhat of a softening on my part.

I praticularly like playuing with the Trolls, myself...

Oh, and you coded a rant off without a rant on. Hope you don't get stuck in a loop! ;)

Yes I'm working away at you, you're one of the few righties that has some potential :)

People like Scott and Crazy Charles wont ever learn, 1. Because Scott is a certified idiot and Charles needs medication. But sometimes the discussion with the other ones in here who have a brain, does tend to lead to some good thinking. I'm sure more than a few have changed their minds on a few issues, even so slightly it's a step in the right direction.

Who does she belong to? Poor guy...

I refuse to admit it...

I'm actually a Conservative Moderate who lives in a VERY Liberal area. Sometimes the things the REAL Liberals do sets my blood boiling!

But for the most part, you guys are harmless (well, you COULD make better choices as to whom you have running for President! Ewwwwww!)

I AM Prochoice (and NOT only if the choice is life). I don't LIKE abortion, but it's not my body OR my choice. If I really wanted to prevent abortions, I'd get MYSELF snipped!

Take a page out of William Weld's book to see about where I am. He's just slightly more Liberal...

The older I get the more I see I was right supporting Goldwater in '64. And I was only 6 at the time. Voted for Nixon in 68 and 72 in school elections and for real for Carter in '76. (Forgive me, Scott, for I have sinned.) Couldn't vote for Reagan in 80 due to residency requirements. Did vote for him in '84, though.

I got a place for the person that thinks I need medication. It's called Shapiro Developmental Center. Nice padded walls in a nice peaceful setting. She's basically repeating one of LBJ's slogans. ('In your guts you know he's nuts.')

Next thing you know they'll be throwing the daisy spot at us again.

I was 7. All I remember really of politics was Kennedy (um, obviously) and cars with bumper stickers that said AU_H2O

No, not the Daisy Spot...it was bad enough the FIRST time (and I was stoned back then, so that'll tell you how BAD it was!)

You were stoned at 7? Wow. They played the Daisy spot once in the 1964 campaign. Every broadcast history class since has included it.

Charles of Kankakee

Hmmmm....I remember seeing it when I was very young, but I also remember seeing it when I was stoned (17 or 18).

I think it was a commercial show, like the Blooper shows...I don't really remember, I was stoned...

I know where I was the second time I saw it. I was 18 in Broadcast History class.

Charles of Kankakee

Silly boy, I wasn't taking sides in this issue. BOTH sides are guilty as charged.

A PERFECT description of what YOU do here.

Poor guy. Walk away from the monitor and get some sleep dude.

And you're a real catch, right? Sitting in front of your 'puter discrediting people you've never met all day long.

THIS IS A TOYOTA NG!! START ACTING LIKE _MEN_, DAMMIT!!

My wife won't let me.

You've changed "ever so slightly?" How. Have you gotten even more conservative? Somehow I don't think that's the kind of change she had in mind. You haven't softened, you've sat in the sun and melted. It's different ...

Funny you should say that, I was gonna say the same thing about you.

Nice, huh?

No, I haven't gotten more conservative. I'm about as conservative as I have ever been. But, in the case of some of our more lucid Liberals, I can understand where they are coming from. Before it just seemed like Chaos was in control of Liberals...
