Every day I visit tons of website, forums, and social networks for all types of topics, most of which are technology based in some sort of form. This election cycle has really brought out the best of the liberal “group think” mentality regarding Obama. On just about every social network Obama is praised as “the one” and any hint of disagreement with his policies or ideals is immediately responded with accusations of racism, or just plain insults. Anybody who wants to claim that liberals are tolerant to others, please give me a shout because I can quickly debunk that. Even here on our network of sites, there have been insults tossed at the slightest hint of either supporting McCain, or being against Obama. I’m certainly not saying conservatives don’t dish out their fair share, but the mentality of liberals has once again bordered on the insane and hateful.
It’s tough being a proud conservative, as I will say what I think regardless of what the group and mob mentality is. The real shame is so many people, especially bloggers in the tech area, are afraid to do the same. I have received so many private notes and comments in support of standing up for conservatism, it’s almost crazy. The best comparison I can make is how conservative actors in Hollywood are often ridiculed or turned down for roles because of their conservative beliefs, and the same mentality is going on right now in the blogosphere. Conservative bloggers, some of which can be considered A-list are having to remain silent about their thoughts on Obama and McCain, simply because they are afraid of retribution from their employers or just not being able to pickup work from other sites. It’s a shame, and it’s more telling about liberals than it is anything.
I am a conservative, I don’t like Obama, and I will never let anyone intimidate me because of that.
I suggested to a friend that Bob Barr was the closest available candidate to what I thought would be best for the country. My concern was that my vote would be a vote for Obama, what I think is the worst choice. His reply:
I suppose you could think of it as a vote for Obama. I believe (hope?) it sends the message: This is what I want and I'm tired of the Washington status quo. Bottom line if you really want "CHANGE", then vote out your senators and congressmen. WE the people can impose term limits This is the best way to incentivize those in Washington to act in YOUR best interest. Did you know that only about 50 (maybe even less) of the 435 seats are competitive?!?!? We don't approve of the job Cogress does and we do NOTHING about it. Disgusting. I will be voting for everyone who is not an incumbent regardless of politcal party. If they are running unopposed, I'll write someone else in.
Interesting perspective I think.
All very true! But not germaine. Now, read the GC and show where it talks about non-uniformed enemies of the state.
NOt by a long shot. You can have all those withOUT health care. Try again. (and they did not have health care as we know it then, so that is not even a stretch to assume your assumptions).
If you construe this to mean every person on the planet (which you must to get to your conclusion) then you just justified the Iraqi war, and made a criminal out of not only Bush, but Clinton (since Darfur is a blemish to both). But I would ask how you can be so arrogant as to subjugate 95% of the world's population to a set of laws they have no say in. I believe one of the tenets of the Declaration (not the Constitution) was the rebellion against taxation with representation. By subjugating the other 95% of the world to our laws, without their representation, you have violated a tenet of the declaration.
Do you know how to configure a network? WHat routing protocol would you use? I guess that makes you unqualified to do anything but post in forums then, right? (NOT)
Here's a hint for you. D-E-L-E-G-A-T-I-O-N
It is why Carter was such a bad president (he did not know how to).
YOu must not read much then.
But McCain hasn't.
I posted this awhile back. I don't tend to read trash political journalism Dr. Guy. Which is where much of the posts cite for their reference.
One more day and OB is gonna be ur prez.
What's this Conservative and Liberal everyone is talking some much about?
This statement tends to support ID's original post doesn't it...........
Ah! It finally comes out. When a liberal loses, it was stolen. Kind of tired after 8 years, and demonstrable proof to the contrary. But dont let that stop your mindless talking points. And it does at least allow us to skip your diatribes as being basically sour graps - with no pulp.
One man's rubbish......just because you dont like the facts does not make them rubbish.
He better or you lot are gonna look just a bit silly
The only thing tortured here is your logic or lack thereof. I was only speaking of the legal prohibitions on our Government which prohibit it from practicing torture on its civilian or war prisoners. I cited 2 sources the Constituion and the Geneva Convention, I'm not interested in discussing anything further in regard to this with you Dr. Guy. I don't really care what you think either.
You like inventing stories, right? Better recheck your sources. And next time you decide to play poker, remember - the rules change AFTER the cards are dealt. Cause that is the only way Gore could have won. See how much you win then.
It is your logic, thoughts or dreams that are tortured. Now that you have clarified your allegation, prove it.
And your ignoring me was the best thing I heard this morning. I have enough robo callers at home. I dont need to see bots on the internet as well.
Then shut up & go away. No point in even being here.
I have a feeling that Obama is Al Qaeda's way of trying to get us from the inside.
But then again, I don't really care for McCain, either. He's a man of great character, having suffered as a POW for our country, but then again, he's not a man of great character in other areas.
Both claim to be Christians. One has made a lot of money on the damnable liquor industry; the other supports murdering babies.
Maybe Obama's pastor, Rev. Wright was right... God D**n America.
I had planed on voting for Chuck Baldwin this time but now I feel I must vote against Obama(a vote for McCain). We have two options as of now. A guy who spent 5 years in a POW camp. He could have got out early but he didn't want to leave his fellow soldiers behind.
And a guy who holds his package while everyone else has there hand over their heart.
Sure are a lot of empty hot air wind bags around.

Says it all right there. All i need to know.
I didn't allege anything and there's nothing for me to prove to you oh self-appointed expert in conservative stink bait.
People accuse me of wearing a tin foil hat when I say these types of things, so now mostly I just think them to myself and try vainly not to sound so paranoid.
No, the statement was in reference to my not seeing these sorts of things in any prime time news cast, national news or major periodical. I do tend to see them on this web site with reference to other "Conservative info" sources. The large number of right wing magnates that keep gravitating to this thread don't seem to support your contention. They keep claiming I'm not well read enough and that I can find plenty of support for their many conservative contentions all over the Net if I just look for it.
The second pick was taken during the singing of the national anthem not during the pledge. However, he is the only one of about 10 people shown in the video NOT holding his hand over his heart.
Actually, he PREVENTED WW3. Can you imagine what McCain would have done in that same situation? We wouldn't be having this conversation.
And as I have said I respect his past accomplishments, and who he was right up until this election, when he flipped all of his positions on their ass just to get the nomination. The vietcong broke him forty years ago and so did the RNC this year.
