'We hate the United States': Secessionists rally in Texas

FINALLY. Jesus.

Ok. For the record, we now agree that:

1. There is no way to measure who loves America more, conservatives or liberals. Making a claim that one group or the other cares more about their country is nothing more than an OPINION.

2. There is no way to measure who is happier, conservatives or liberals. Making a claim that one group or the other is happier is nothing more than an OPINION.

Still waiting for the definition of "regular people."

You need to see the Proffesor at NYU about that.... he seems to think he can.
 
And disproven....

Yes, that happens too. That doesn't mitigate a fundamental difference between scientific theory and hypothetical constructs.

Never said it did, but the libs here that say the study at NYU is only an opinion don't.... that is who your argument is with.

That study is an opinion.

Where's the control for this study?
 
I don't know about other states, but in Texas, the crazies are coming out of the woodwork during the health care debate.



At least he drew some murmurs of disapproval, but why was he invited to speak in the first place? Well, never mind that. To him, I say "America, love it or leave it".

Finally, when one wears his Christianity on his sleeve, there always seems to be some motive, such as wanting to execute gays. That, of course, is not Jesus, but Satan working in his life.

Article is here.

Along with people who thought that they were actually doing something good the tea bag brigade organizers also manged to stir up the bottom feeders and gave floats to the healthers. Don't forget that the birthers were there to act as the vanguard storm troopers of whackism

lets see.. you insert your own meaning into my statements, then take your own statement with this new interpretation out of context to change the meaning again, and then declare victory??

I was unaware that was how logic worked. silly me!


Dr. Patrick was right, you aren't worth the effort.

Fundamental difference? Why are you even trying to equate the two? Apples and oRanges.

You may as well be trying to convince us that the concept of justice and the hem of a skirt are fundamentally different.

wait..

fundamental difference = equating??

apples and oranges does not = fundamental difference?

the hem of a skirt and justice are not fundamentally different??

danger! danger! does not compute!

LOL!

No, i'm saying that it's so obvious they're different, why try to make a point of it?
 
You need to look up the difference between a "study" and an "experiment"

Without a control, it's a flawed study. Methodology matters.
 
Libs are incapable of admitting they are wrong.... that's just an opinion, backed up by years of experiance.

Conservatives are incapable of admitting they are wrong, even when they are. Your posts here are an excellent example of that.

Now, that we have gotten through the hyperpartisan foolishness, do you plan on posting anything that demonstrates that you can post something other than hyperbole?
 
Please tell me how the "Theory of Gravity" is not an opinion.

Please tell me how an apple falling to the ground does not demonstrate gravity.


As I've made abundantly clear and you fail to comprehend... I have no problem with OPINION, especially with how you all define it.

Good. Than you admit that your comments about liberals were just opinion. Good to know.
 
Now you are just expressing an OPINION of Taylor resorting to "this" when in my OPINION he was really resorting to "that."

See how easy it is to avoid any substantive debate by resorting to obtuse semantics about whether one has expressed an opinion or a fact while obviously avoiding the point being made?

Here's my opinion; Democrats are dishonest. But alas, it can also be substantiated by many facts, but why would I have to post a bunch of links to those facts for my OPINION to have merit?

Here's another one; Obama is a liar. I can provide many facts to support this assertion, but why must I in order to make the comment I made?

I am always amused by the effort to resort to semantics so as to avoid the painful truths.

I can just as easily say that Dana is dishonest. It is an OPINION that can be supported by the facts but do I have to post a link in order to make the claim and have a valid argument?

And here are some of my opinions:

Republicans don't care about America. It can be substantiated by many facts, but why would I have to post a bunch of links to those facts for my OPINION to have merit?

Here's another one: Conservatives are more interested in controlling other people's opinions then allowing freedom. It can be substantiated by many facts, but why would I have to post a bunch of links to those facts for my OPINION to have merit?

One more: TD is dishonest. It can be substantiated by many facts, but why would I have to post a bunch of links to those facts for my OPINION to have merit?

It's good to know, TD, that you are uninterested in substantiating positions. We should all remember that when reading any of yours.

Actually, your true Conservatives were very good at admitting when they were wrong. Ronald Reagan is a prime example. Against all the advise from his advisors, he got on national TV and took the blame for Iran-Contra. Reagan was a stand up guy, and that was part of what made him great.

There was also something else about Ronald Reagan. He was gracious. He and Tip O'Neill, the most Liberal member of Congress, would duke it out during the day and, at the end of the day, they would sit down and have a beer together. Does anything like this exist today? Actually, yes. Orin Hatch, one of the most Conservative members of Congress, was a close friend of Edward Kennedy's. In fact, they both worked on quite a bit of legislation together, and enjoyed each others' company. And, as a matter of fact, when Kennedy was diagnosed with Cancer, Hatch cried on the Senate floor.

Says quite a bit about the sorry-assed, power at all costs, situation as it exists today, doesn't it?

I agree with you, dana. My post was a satire on the hyperpartisan crap I'm seeing from the other side. On both sides of the coin, it depends on the person and the level of extremism they exhibit. The more extreme, the more closed-minded and less likely anyone would see an admission of error.
 
If Texas seceded from the US, Austin would secede from Texas.
Obama would have to organize food drops and such.
I think it would be pretty cool. ;)

Texas won't secede. Texans have no intention of pinning their future hopes for the state on a few crazies who came out of the woodwork.

It is one of many possible (an infinite number) of theories. Now answer my question.

Just warn us foreigners who are here from other states if it's going to happen.... I'll fly the coup ;)

Can you only debate semantics? When you have something interesting to say, please come back.

It was YOU that said gravity was only an opinion. CC is merely asking you to explain yourself - You know - Crap or get off the pot.
