No more Tin Effing Foil hats for me - I prefer cotton. It feels better.

[Mr_Spock]

I am so sick of the people who see a conspiracy behind every damned event that is out of our control. C'mon, snap the fuck out of it! There are things that the neocon murdering fucks are doing that are evil and wrong but, you know what?, it doesn't matter a god damned bit what we theorize about or even prove for that matter. If we don't get tough and take over Congress and the Presidency, we are going to be stuck in fucking whining tin foil hat mode for a long ass time. Do you think the paranoid nut-jobs that post all this crap are actually helping the cause? I think they are a bunch of hermits who need to get out more and talk to real people in the REAL world. It's like some people think they are going to outsmart the rest of us and come up with a theory that is so damned bizarre that even we would never have even thought of it. It's true, we wouldn't have. Do you know why? Because we are more pragmatic than these recluses that come up with these ever more remote theories for every event that happens outside our little internet bubble world. Some folks need to get a life.

We need to take back our country from these selfish egotistical bigots, and the way we are going to do it is not here on DU. I enjoy bitching and moaning here as much as the next guy (or gal), but there is far too much good anger wasted away as we bicker with each other like little children. How many times have you had an argument with someone here only to realize that you actually agree on 99.99% of everything, but decided to fight over the 0.01%? We NEED this energy to fight the real enemy!

Did you ever think that the people who tell you that you act like a plant from the enemy are trying to tell you something? They are telling you that since you are causing us to have internal strife, you could just as easily be a Freeper who has infiltrated and distracted us from our real goal - WINNING the damned elections this fall.

OK, I'm done ranting for now :rant: Anyone who disagrees with me can go fuck themselves, and anyone who agrees with me is just a sheep. :rofl: I'm not looking to make any friends with this rant. :P If you don't have anything constructive to offer the team then go sit in the corner until you do. I'm sick of witnessing all the wasted energy here - we have a real enemy out there and we need to get a better focus on defeating them. Time is already running short and I'm already sick of the vile ass-kissing rhetoric from the mindless Republican zombies. Lets stop the infighting and defeat these miserable sons of bitches. I can't stand it any more.

OK, start accusing me of hypocrisy and flame away - I would expect nothing less from my friends here. I love y'all too (damned half human side). :D

Let's live long and prosper - out with the evil Republican money changers & in with a new guard. Democrats aren't perfect, but they sure do make Republicans look like the selfish small minded bigots that they are.

1. Hey you're drinking from the same bottle as me

[Mr_Spock]

4. Yeah, but it's a good vintage!

:rofl:

[lvx35]

2. Flame flame flame!!!

Not really :) I hear you on the subject of ACTION. That's the problem with conspiracy theorists...Not the conspiracy part, there's plenty of that in the world; but the THEORY part. If we all sit around theorizing all the time, nothing gets done!

At a certain point we all need to decide how we are going to act to get something positive done, in any cause.

[Mr_Spock]

6. That's my point

We seem to be devolving into a reactionary mode. Coulter, Zarqawi, gay marriage, immigration and whatever issue the Repukes decide we should be freakng out about. We need to take control of the dialog before the election or we are going to LOSE!!

We MUST control the conversation!!!

[Gman]

3. I think that

cotton is a very poor deflector of gamma rays and allows the government to penetrate your brain and control you too much. Tin foil works much better. Thank you.

[Mr_Spock]

5. lol

OK, how about a nice metallic coated mylar hat then?

:D

[Gman]

7. Mylar is fair against gamma rays

but is a poor deflector of government mind control signals.

[Erika]

8. I am so sick of DU for buying into right wing theocracy

that I could care less. Let them hold hands with the bushbots and replace the Constitution with the Bible.

I make one post on whether Christ and Heaven exists, and I'm flamed big time. They were kinder to Coulter . But the democratic party says they represent all?

I may be sitting the next election out.

[Mr_Spock]

10. Oh, poopy pants

Is it about you, or is it about US!

We need to find areas where we can agree and stop whining about how our pet issue is not popular.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it :P

[Erika]

11. Enjoy the aroma

and the GOP majority.

[Mr_Spock]

12. With that attitude

it's no wonder.

[Erika]

13. None at all

When the Dems are no different from the GOP, that's what you have. Enjoy.

[Erika]

14. I find your post juvenile.

Poopy pants? Is this Coulter slang? How amusing.

[Mr_Spock]

18. I was responding in kind...

...your post seemed self-centered and juvenile to me so...

[Balbus]

9. That's a pretty good rant.

:thumbsup:

[dempeoria]

15. We DO have a great country!

I think we need more positive thinking!

[knight_of_the_star]

16. Not just thinking

But followup that thinking with action.

Thought without action is a dream, action without thought is a nightmare.

[dempeoria]

17. I agree!

[Philosoraptor]

19. Without Theorists & mentioning negatives we're just yes men.

I don't mind people theorizing about Bush's actions, who can blame them?

And bringing up negative subjects in the name of constructive criticism is no vice.

But I see where you're coming from.

We are on the same side.

[zippy890]

20. if I recommend this am I just a sheep

*dilemma*

this is a great rant & I'm so sick of effing tinfoil hats,too.
do I agree with Mr_Spock and be sheeplish or ....

what the hell,

BAAAH!
:rofl:

what a great rant that is so funny, too.

[Mr_Spock]

21. lol

I re-read my post and I even laugh - I did leave the reader in somewhat of a dilemma! :rofl:

[Jeffersons Ghost]

22. Kicked and Recommended a damn good rant with a great message

[starstuff]

23. welcome to the herd...

you'll fit right in with your righteous indignation :hi:

[Mr_Spock]

24. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[starstuff]

25. thank you

:bluebox:

[Junkdrawer]

26. So if there's another terror attack, we should reject any theory...

but the ones the corporate press will present .... for the good of the fall elections.

[Mr_Spock]

28. That is a "false choice" argument

We should still strive most diligently to win the elections, even if there is a terror attack.

[IndyOp]

27. For goodness sakes, please DO stop thinking before someone can call

you a conspiracy theorist. This is what I counsel all of my friends to do --

My friend Becky has found lipstick on her husband's shirts occasionally for the last few months and found a pair of women's panties - not hers - beneath the seat of the minivan when she cleaned it out yesterday. But I told her: Don't you put on a tinfoil hat! Wear cotton, it feels better.

My friend Greg has been getting all of these emails asking for his social security number and credit card information because websites he has never logged onto say that they need the information so that they can watch out for his privacy. I tell him: Don't you put on a tinfoil hat! Wear cotton, it feels better.

My friends Carl and Steve got some advice to invest in a brand new big-box bookstore that will be built right next to two other big-box bookstores in our small town. They are wondering whether they should invest or not because they aren't sure whether they should trust their investment advisor, since his brother owns the local construction company that will make huge profits just by building the store. I tell them: Don't you put on a tinfoil hat! Wear cotton, it feels better.

THANK GOD I HAVE HELPED STEER MY FRIENDS AWAY FROM THE SHAME OF BEING A CONSPIRACY THEORIST.

:sarcasm:

[shadowknows69]

29. I'm a conspiracy theorist and proud

We've been through the looking glass for some time now. I put nothing past people in power looking to keep that power.

[Mr_Spock]

30. Thanks for those cute "straw man" stories

From Wikipedia:

"A straw man argument is a rhetorical technique based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw-man argument" is to create a position that is easy to refute, then attribute that position to the opponent. A straw-man argument can be a successful rhetorical technique (that is, it may succeed in persuading people) but it is in fact misleading, since the argument actually presented by the opponent has not been refuted."

This is flamebait
