See? You did pretty good here. "Democrat Wackos". There are certainly some. I have little respect for them. "Extreme". You know how I feel about those that could be described this way...left or right.
Hmmm...perhaps there is hope for you, yet. :2razz:
Or, perhaps not. :2razz:
Cap'n,
You're going to have to understand a couple things.
I am a Conservative.
I believe it is the best way to have a prosperous, safe and free society.
This is a debates forum.
The goal is to sway the other side.
To have them change their minds.
I have changed mine 180 degrees, having been a socialist.
I made this change through debate and self education.
The more I learned, and was honest, the more I realized my original beliefs, though well intended, were proven to fail.
Now I'm doing like-kind, assisting those lost in the Fog of Propaganda.
Ridicule is an effective weapon in debates.
Tremendous in fact.
If you can make the opposition look foolish... you... win... memorably.
I've had people come here and rant about my being hyper-partisan.
I admit it... I am a partisan.
I seek to destroy... socialists.
But I am not a blind partisan.
I, like many other conservatives opposed Bush on key issues.
Now... why expend the effort?
Some of it is the fun factor.
Another is to ensure I write a little everyday.
Another is... when it counts, in the still of the night, engaging your brain about all the info you gather... for some... during these moments the light gets turned on and they begin to realize the errors of their ways.
And pull the lever for a party they didn't believe possible before.
And become partisans for a side they disliked because they did not understand it.
Were not educated about it.
Were instead taught in school to mock and ridicule it... as their teachers did.
I like to share.
I know what walking in the Fog is like, and changing these polluted minds, is my definition of victory.
My definition of community.
Giving.
