Liberal-land would probably be quite nice to live in, while the republic of GOP would crash and burn within a year. Either trough civil war or they pick a fight with yet another country and realise they can't actually pay for their military anymore. How can people say stuff like That loving guy posted:You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem." I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World"..

burritonegro posted:crazy poo poo about the first lady's "servants" Unfortunately, people eat that poo poo up. While visiting my family a few weeks ago, I was informed by my grandfather that not only is Palin smarter than Obama, she's going to be our next president. Luckily my dad disagreed...because he thinks Mitt Romney's going to be next  Also, I learned from my mother that, because Walmart now sells naan, they are catering to "Arabs" and that the Muslims are taking over this country and we are all gonna be SO hosed. I started tuning out when my dad started saying poo poo about tax hikes and whatever else bullshit he could think up. My parents also wholeheartedly believe in Welfare Queens. I seriously will never understand how they can consistently vote against their own interests, again and again.

I say they can believe whatever crazy poo poo they want as long as they also honestly and actively hope for a Sarah Palin 2012 run. It's like a dead-mans switch on the conservatives-gone-wild sentiment of today. Please PLEASE let her just cruise along thusly until then.

You guys think you have it bad with all these e-mails: I have to deal with my GIRLFRIEND's parents on a regular basis - republicans who are anti-vaccines, anti-mainstream medicine, pro-homeopathy, pro-coffee enemas. They listen to and watch Fox News all day long. Sometimes I want to kill myself.  edit: to actually contribute, one of their family friends regularly sends e-mails to my girlfriend. I'll make sure to post any she gets.

Seriously, what the hell's with this tendency to make all the pop-cultural references in these things 40 years old? I couldn't even tell you what Shirley MacLaine was famous for (other than being a crazy hippie). Eventually, the people that remember the era in question will all be dead, but the GOP will still be bashing Jane Fonda.

Most of America didn't know what Chappaquiddick was, frankly. The story broke on July 20, 1969 - the same day Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon. For some reason, people took more interest in the other story and conservatives have been yelling, "But did you hear what Ted Kennedy did?" for 40 years straight as a result.

I love my parents to death, I sincerely do, but they have a completely hosed up worldview and I don't want any part of it. These are the same people that cut their trip to Germany a day short because the town they lived in 30 years ago is "different" and has more Muslims, which of course are responsible for all of Europe's problems.

Out of curiosity, for all those sent this stuff by their parents or other relatives, how do they react to your liberal-ness/sanity? Some of the poo poo in these emails that supposedly they espouse would make me think they'd disown you guys.

Well as a first step: there's a large care/effort gap between actually writing one of these and forwarding them. And that same care/effort is what makes people just believe whatever gets emailed to them and looks supportive of their politics team. On top of that I get the feeling that 90% of these are written and forwarded as preaching-to-the-choir crap and they don't understand how it's taken by someone who isn't a tea party die-hard (or don't really care). They don't care about what the emails are saying, they don't care what it says about them that they're forwarding it. That said, a lot of these are offensive and callous beyond the realms of politics and there isn't an excuse for it. And there's a lot of people who genuinely get into these emails, but I'd be willing to bet the vast majority don't care half as much as the actual forwarded email makes it sound.

Intel&Sebastian posted:Something that would kill you if you were denied it = a luxury. Well, it's not like air, there's no guarantee particular individuals are going to die any earlier with it or without it. It is, quite technically, a luxury. And, for the "god has a plan" type person, health care may very well seem like a luxury since they're either good righteous people without health problems or they're enduring trials and god's going to save them or whatever delusion. They're insured by jesus or whoever already. Another way to look at it is from the perspective of a sucker. When people waste money on overpriced stuff, they tend to convince themselves it is very good stuff indeed because otherwise they would be stupid. Spending on health care may act in the same fashion, and anything that expensive must be a luxury by default. A third health care = luxury viewpoint is from that of the millions of starving people in the world who would very much like to not die next week from lack of food and to whom health care is a pure Maslovian luxury.

This one's a doozyquote:For a long time, I have noticed that the decor at the White House has changed since BHO moved in. The Oval Office is now stripped of the traditional red, white, and blue, and replaced with middle eastern wallpaper, drapes, and decor. The hallway that he walks out of to talk to the press now has middle eastern chairs, drapes, etc. And the thing that has bothered me the most is the bright yellow drape behind him every time he speaks from the white house. It has Arabic symbols on it and has been there from the beginning. I can't decide what I like best. 1.Giving the full name of all the presidents to make it not seem like they were being racist for specifying Obama's full name. 2.The carefully chosen photographs that show the red white and blue for everyone else. 3.Yellow with "islamic" symbols. 4.According to snopes Bush Sr. didn't have a red white and blue color scheme in his oval office either: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/photos/ovaloffice.asp 5.Once again if Obama is supposed to be a muslim spy wouldn't he be doing a hell of a lot more to cover up this fact?

By publicly displaying clues of the conspiracy, they cause the conspiracy theorists to sperg and thus discredit themselves. Eventually the public just ignores clues and the conspiracy theorists and thus are unable to see the proverbial jackboot until it's way too late.
