So I guess your post was a nod of agreement?

Don't post flamebait and then try to stop rebuttals.

Really, explain that reach to me, it seems a bit far of a reach.

When the poster explained it showed agreement in my complete unity of the party theory, it was clarified.

Asking for clarification shows interest in the rebuttal (agreement actually rather than rebuttal), the opposite of trying to stop a rebuttal

You pretend that any rebuttal is 'agreement', but as soon as someone turns it into a specific attack on one DUer, you not only agree, but call out another one too.

It's cowardly, and two-faced, of you. If you want to have an argument with ProSense or VanillaRhapsody, do it to their face, and don't retreat behind weasely 'but I agree with you' BS.

Where do you think I get my ideas from? hint: I borrowed the words and thoughts of those that throw hissy fits when people imitate what they post daily.

Nothing original about my post sadly, just embarrassing for those that say the very same things (but not all at once)

Your intent for this thread seems to be to trash specific DUers, without responding properly to anyone who puts a different viewpoint. You are making DU suck today.

It is more of an acknowledgement of ability.

People ARE throwing hissy fits in this thread and the ones throwing them are the ones that started the "firebagger" "paulite" "racist" ect. attacks on everyone left of Liebermann, your issue is really with them, as I said there is nothing original in my op. Those that feel insulted by it are basically just being quoted. I guess the mirrors image of some cause them to feel insulted by themselves... interesting that...

pres has no principles.

but attention whoring and getting recs is what it's all about for some.

I said nothing of the sort

support that person, party (majority of which does support that person) and internet site ?

i would have left already. but maybe i would love the attention and posting on the site too much to actually do that.

some principles those are...............

The claims of drones are more than claims, the drones exist, same for the NSA.
They are quite non partisan facts in our country, promoted by both parties, pretending they don't exist makes it hard to take YOU seriously. You very well do support not only those policies but at least one party when that orders such strikes and spying.

How can you support them and claim you would never support them, all in your own self contradicting words repeatedly.

You are very confusing with the support and non support thing voiced simultaneously, is that what cognitive dissonance sounds like?

Attention seeking whores over principles

You enjoy insulting people don't you? that last post showed me you can put motives in my mind that you pull completely out of your butt while simultaneously enjoying an ad hominem attack on me.

Most impressive I must say, can you read my soul, my mind and also project a voice into my mouth while drinking a glass of water? that would be even more impressive.

on edit, I am sorry I was born white, how did you even know and why does it bother you so?
on second edit I noticed you took the white hate part out, thanks, it kinda sucked reading that

But auto correct to whites

Why do you hate true Democrats with the courage to stand up for the wealthy?

You must stand straight and tall with a name like phallus.

You must be one of the poors that are jealous of our great coalition of the wealthy because of our progressive values in supporting the banks and real Democrats like Lieberman and Obama. tell me, which Paul do you support with your ODS?

Forgive me if I'm mistaken because I don't speak firebagger, but referring to a human as an object like an "it" is considered an insult isn't it? We even call the help by human names in the mansion, but of course only the wealthiest among us have manners. kettle kettle - black black

But thank you for asking!

I could read his installations all day long!

It's scary because the first 3 paragraphs, until it became more obvious later in, and even some of the later parts taken alone, sounded like the sort of thing that certain elements on this site would actually post in seriousness. And they consider themselves the true Democrats...

Good satire is striking because it is so close to reality.

Love this thread but given some of the responses, I think maybe a "satire" label would help.

because a joke post about how X must be supported literally no matter what will be followed up by someone who not only literally DOES believe X must be supported even if they start a dozen secret wars and kill thousands of innocents, but then adds that they conclusively defeated Wall Street and Big Insurance, and finally compares them to FDR, LBJ, Edward Teller, Christ, AND Columbus (adding that people thought the world flat in 1491)

His sock puppet is welcome in some circles...

but it's not impressive at all as it just comes off as attention seeking and looking for approval and recs.

i mean, if i felt the president was some horrible spying, murdering type i would not support him or the party . i would not be on a site that supports that party and president. well, unless i was trolling .

i find it to be one of the least examples of political principles as it is more about attention whoring than anything else.

horrible president i would not support that party.

i mean, what person with principles would do so ?

stay in a party that does those things ?

i mean, i know people love getting attention whether it's reality tv shows , facebook, twitter, recs on a political forum. but is that love so great as to continue supporting a site that supports someone over standing on principles ?

Just as I do.

You are a very confusing individual with your self contradictory statements.

that supports that person and party .

but sadly it is about attention whoring these days for many.

I disagree with everything you just said, just as you intended. lets run our candidates on a populist message in 2014 and win.

how about alison grimes ?

should we support them ?

That drawing of an atom is based on a concept that's been out of date for a century or so, so I'm not sure it counts as science. Perhaps change the label from "science" to "really old and discredited ideas"?

Sid

I guess that non-quantum models of the atom are easier to understand?

Much like this is a symbol for "male", without actually being a true, physical representation of a male person.





Kind of a pathetic attempt at a gotcha, isn't it Manny? Being deliberately obtuse about a symbol in an avatar?

I mean, we can talk about quantum representations and elementary particles if you want, but my physics degree was a lot of years ago, and I don't think I'd be able to speak too intelligently on the topic without pulling out a bunch of old textbooks.

Sid

Because they rely on quantum theory.

Cool. I guess we Liberals can take them all, then.

Hey Dragonfli - seems like you've been away for a while? Or have I just been missing your stuff?

Still recovering from some pretty harsh medical treatments that took a toll.

Does each individual in this town need an enema? Or are you suggesting that somehow the city be given a single (presumably enormous) enema? If the latter, how would that physically work?

I'll leave it to you to figure out what I believe to be the "shit" that needs to be flushed.

Sid

enemies of the state? Or sending the naughtythinkers to re-education camps?

Or are we talking a poo problem requiring updated civil works?

(according to unnamed sources in the secret clown car) is to network all the water towers in the town via connecting pipelines, install thousands of hookah stems in each that in turn will drive hydraulic tubes with the enema apparatus attached at the ends.

Quite ingenious really, it will be funded by billionaire and fellow enema fetishist Peter J Peterson. A design and drafting firm has been commissioned to finalize the shop blueprints for production and refitting.

As soon as all the town officials are properly purchased with "free speech" the construction will begin in earnest and the mother of all enemas will finally begin!

I look forward to that day, thanks for the explanation.

given the use of Rovian techniques: saying the opposite of what they mean, turning things upside down, attacking stengths, projecting weaknesses, rewriting history.

At least Manny's recent posts have been more straightforward by saying what he's for, rather than using these passive aggressive techniques.

But they lack the intellect to pull it off.

but this seems to be the opposite.

Strange how it's foot-stompingly wrong to point out FDR's missteps but it's okay to denigrate the current President.

Bit of a disconnect there.

OP

were against certain policies (and persons) under George W. Bush but now support those same policies and persons since learning about the importance of first-strike compromise and reaching out to friends across the aisle.

Thanks for the excellent satire.

I have read that conservatives don't get satire, if true a few replies are showing their true colors.

And much of the satire has been posted here very seriously.

Seems to have offended the usual suspects.

so the OP is not satire, it's just exaggeration and contrived guilt by association.

Plus, using the Kochs as a foil to attack the Democrats is pretty Rovian IMO: use the Repubs' main weakness to attack their main adversaries.

and The Third way does now, nothing new really.

Attack entitlements
promote free trade
help the wealthy,

things have changed very little

Is the DLC the only thing they support?

Or did they spend $400 million in the last election supporting Mitt Romney?

Deregulates banking and environmental rules, promotes free trade for cheap labor and even less environmental control and worker safety.
The same as they did then and the 3rd way still agrees as did the DLC with all of the above (and more)

I like this OP, but could you confirm a thought?

Were you inspired by third way manny?

Sure, he knows how to speak truth to the moonbat left, but has yet to embrace true prosperity consciousness.

He has not inspired me, so much as impress me as a kid on his way to figuring out what we in the private island club know from birth.

Perhaps someday his ancestors will accrue the wealth necessary for personal enlightenment.
I will continue watching the young lad because he shows promise, but he stilll has much to earn$$$$ or learn as the commoners say.

the student may surpass the master

Or pithy or pointed or punchy or even worth the time of day.

You know that career in the wit trade you were thinking about? Perhaps you want to reconsider.

This is evidenced by the fact that the replies are off topic because there is no topic. I guess if you have the time to waste writing a lengthy incoherent piece, then good for you. Kind of reminds me of Seinfeld, it's an OP about "nothing".

You'd see how totally out of balance your view of politics and elected politicians is.

Thank goodness zealotry is more an attribute of the Right.

If the OP is worried about the Kochs, they should write an OP about them and all of their activities IMO.

No Bobby Keys on sax; Mick Taylor's letting Keith play both guitar parts and Jagger is singing like a white guy.

I don't appreciate the tone.

Sanders is a fine, fine man, and would vote for him in a heartbeat if he ran for President, and would win too.

We need a President for the people, and Bernie Sanders defines that.

Thanks for posting

while still supporting our president and Dem leaders as generally good people who can be trusted to make the best decisions based on the information they have and the conditions they are facing most of the time. Its not all or nothing. You'll grow old and die waiting for a politician who does what you want 100% of the time.


Having more Democrats in office is a good thing. More Dems in congress would help pass a lot more useful legislation like equal pay or jobs/infrstructure plans and budgets that support the causes that matter. More dem appointees on the supreme court would have given us very different decisions on the campaign finance cases, which would mean less corporate money influencing either party.

Less dems (including less dlc types) is worse for us, not better.

It is not enough to obey her. We must love her.

to get an erotic blood lust going, And her relationship with the hottest, richest bankers makes me want to join in in an orgy of wanton abandon of slow seduction atop a bed made of trillions in hard earned scam money and taxpayer blood!

I imagine a Goddess stroking my throbbing member of the .01% with soft kisses and gentle whispers of austerity.


Is there anyone that does not love her?

Big sister sees all, knows best and will surely raise the chocolate ration for those of us that are more equal than others!

That's just how the fringe-left rolls.

Sid

Not much left to say. Great satire.

I would love to see this posted again with the :satire: tag. Somehow I don't think the responses would change a lot.

Well done

The OP is written by a pragmatist satirist who is mocking the fringe left for thinking that humorless sarcasm is satire. And they are totally falling for it.

I think you just exposed yourself as a shit stirrer. You KNOW that's not true. WE know that's not true. The fucking WORLD knows that's not true.

Maybe even in 1984 too.
