Why I voted Democrat

[NorthernVike 2,113]

I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I

want. I've decided to marry my horse.

 

 

because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are

obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of

gas at 15% isn't.

 

because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the

money I earn than I would.

 

because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

 

because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop

what they're doing because they now think we're good

people.

 

 

because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my

local police are all I need to protect me from murderers

and thieves.

 

because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on

Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt

away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

 

because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so

long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

 

because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits

for themselves. They need to break even and give the

rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.

 

because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite The Constitution every

few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never

get their agendas past the voters.

 

because my head is so firmly planted up my ass that it is unlikely that

I'll ever have another point of view.

Wow. I am completely in your head. You're even starting threads about me. Not bad for a dude I don't even know and never heard of until about a week oe two ago.

 

I see I've made quite an impression.

[NorthernVike 2,113]

You don't remember me? I'm hurt. I helped you out on your quest to return FFT to glory. I'm the one that posted over at FBG for you about the big day because you were to chickenshit to do it yourself.

 

I am deeply hurt

Will you film it?

Sorry.

 

Just a little tip, just because I don't agree with your politics, doesn't mean you have to start personally attacking me (or anyone else). Please see the thread about what's wrong with this board for more details.

 

Would you really want thread after thread where everyone just agrees with each other.

 

Save the attacks for those who attack you.

Why I voted Republican, by Northern Vike...

 

 

I believe that life is only sacred until birth. After that, I'm all for war, executions, and bombing civilians.

 

I believe that it makes us safer to make sure everybody hates us.

 

I am not responsible enough to be given things like a right to privacy and a right to trial.

 

I believe it is better to borrow from China to fund my wars than to tax our people.

 

I don't believe it is necessary to bother to talk to nations like Iran. Its much more fun to threaten and cajole them.

 

I don't mind sending thousands of American troops to die to set up a democracy somewhere else.

 

I believe building a school in Detroit is socialism. Building one in Mosul is just good foreign policy.

 

I believe that anyone who isn't rich is worthless anyway.

 

I believe that the 2000 year old writings of a desert dweller should determine who is allowed to marry.

 

I believe it is better to incinerate stem cells than to use them to cure disease.

 

I believe that the only solution to gun violence is more gun violence.

 

Because I have my lips so firmly planted around the cack of big business that I can't see anything else.

I believe that it makes us safer to make sure everybody hates us. More like fear but acceptable

 

I am not responsible enough to be given things like a right to privacy and a right to trial. You missed on this one, but good try

 

I believe it is better to borrow from China to fund my wars than to tax our people. Absofuckinglutly

 

I don't believe it is necessary to bother to talk to nations like Iran. Its much more fun to threaten and cajole them. Don't forget "kill them"

 

I don't mind sending thousands of American troops to die to set up a democracy somewhere else. Worked pretty good in Europe

 

I believe building a school in Detroit is socialism. Building one in Mosul is just good foreign policy. Yep

 

I believe that anyone who isn't rich is worthless anyway. Now, now, the world needs ditch diggers too

 

I believe that the 2000 year old writings of a desert dweller should determine who is allowed to marry. Hey if you like the cack so be it

 

I believe it is better to incinerate stem cells than to use them to cure disease. You don't have to kill a baby to get stem cells

 

I believe that the only solution to gun violence is more gun violence. Guns don't kill people, peo.... fock it, you know

 

Because I have my lips so firmly planted around the cack of big business that I can't see anything else. Better than sucking the Governments cack

 

 

 

 

 

Love it

The Federal gas tax is a flat rate of 18.4 cents per gallon, not a percentage.

 

What is obscene about paying a tax to maintain the roads we pretty much all use every day?

It was one of those: "I made a foolish statement and i look like an idiot so i'll just pretend like it was a joke and try to make the smarter poster look foolish" type jokes.

I'm confused about when the US sent troops to Europe in order to set up a democracy.

World War II ??????

Yeah, but he came right back as gocolts.

World War II ??????

 

And WWI too for that matter.

[posty 2,867]

I will go with because he doesn't know any better...

[FeelingMN 273]

And WWI too for that matter.

 

Really? We fought both WWs to instill democratic governments in Europe? And here I thought the US reluctantly joined each war already in progress, and did so to thwart overzealous fascist movements and to turn a quick buck.

 

My only point was that you cannot compare the Iraq War to WWI/WWII. There were different motives and circumstances with each war.

WW IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

 

Remember that.

Yes, in both instances, we went to Europe to oppose a monarchy/dictatorship. In the case of WWII, we left troops there, well, they are still there.

 

After WWI, we helped set up the Weimar Republic in Germany. After WWII, we helped set up and militarily protected the West German Democratic State. We did similar for Italy. And if you read the Japanese constitution, you will find it strikingly familiar, as we wrote it for them.

 

I'm not trying to equate the two. Those were necessary, this one isn't, and this one is doomed to fail, as there has been a civilization (I use the term loosely) in Iraq/Mesopotamia since the dawn of time, and it has never, nor will it in the forseeable future, be democratic.

Those were the results of war, but not the primary objective.

As Paul Revere rode through town, "The British are coming!! The British are coming!!", Great, great, great, great grandad NewbieJr was busy setting bear traps further down the street, hoping the horse would break it's leg, so he could go back to bed.
