Time to Declare War

[tonybgood]

I've had it with the GOP and the lengths they will and are going to destroy America. There's no reasoning with them; there's no compromising with them. That leaves only one option: WAR! They want to be an enemy to America and its citizens then so be it. It is time for the people of this country to stand up with one voice and say ENOUGH! If they want a war (and it seems that is all they can call for these days), then I say let's give them what they want just not where they want it. Stop patronizing their businesses, stop deferring to them and stop voting for them! Point them out and ridicule them; they want to be an enemy to this country, treat them as such. Don't dare tell me we should seek to reason with them because they are beyond all reason. I've had enough!

1. A person on DU advocating for war!

Never thought I'd see the day.

[demwing]

11. Did you read the kind of war recommended?

judging by your post, I think you didn't

[orpupilofnature57]

19. A War against Ignorance , Hell ya .

[blkmusclmachine]

22. The Left has been losing that battle. Since at least 1980.

[orpupilofnature57]

34. Ronnie was a poster boy for their America, union busting, Dominion theocracy,

Racist, Fascist, 1950's .Shrub did his part now they want to go back to the 1850's .

[Purveyor]

51. Where in the hell have you been. Did you catch any of the Ukraine/Crimea discussions? eom

[orpupilofnature57]

2. We wre crushed by 9/11 they were elated .

[barbtries]

13. so true.

the fire wasn't even out yet and they were scheming on how they would use it to go to Iraq. sickening FUCKS

[blkmusclmachine]

23. We couldn't have gotten here without 9/11. So ... happy coincidence for them ...

Think about it ...

[FSogol]

3. Here's a better idea. Get every single friend, co-worker, relative, stranger, etc

that you can find and make sure they are registered to vote. Then, get them to the polls to vote Democratic. Win-win and we don't have to have a war.

[pintobean]

6. No!

[Scootaloo]

24. Just like we did in 2006-2008, which CHANGED EVERYTHING.

War crimes were prosecuted, torturers were jailed, glass-steagall was reenacted, media monopolies were broken up, the US renounced imperialohwait i'm just having a mescaline flashback.



Seriously, first there need to be Democrats worth electing. I'm happy that the democrats are shaping up to be the bigotry-free oligarch party, but not being fucking wealthy, it's not exactly impressing me.

[F4lconF16]

45. This can't be said enough.

Thank you.

[Thinkingabout]

27. AGREED!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

4. Well, bless your heart.

[Dreamer Tatum]

5. two words

bumper sticker.

[pinboy3niner]

8. OMG! Do you really think it's necessary...

...to bring out the BIG GUNS???

[NuclearDem]

9. Don't do it! Think of the little ones!

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

7. Ignore the usual suspects here who seem to have no issues with righwing pricks...wonder why

Anyway, the right started a war with all human life when Obama was elected, about time we realize that.

Yes, a financial and political war is the only way to defeat these disgusting puke fucks.

[pintobean]

14. "the usual suspects"

[Ghost in the Machine]

25. Sometimes it pays to keep an eye on our opposition, such as the "site that can't be named" here...

so I just call them the "CUmmies". I used to read them all the time, and there were several who bragged that they had accounts here with 1,000s of posts and one who even made moderator status before we changed to the jury system.

After reading them long enough, you can pick up on their posting style, even the use, misuse and misspelling of certain words and phrases. I won't even get started on the head "Cave dweller" and the irony of him calling us "primatives"...

Peace,

Ghost

[Dreamer Tatum]

26. I used to waste my time with those assholes.

And I don't believe any of them have DU accounts with more than a few posts. Typical RW noise and bluster.

[Ghost in the Machine]

31. Yeah, I don't waste my time on them anymore either, but I had an account there and posted for

almost a year before I got banned. I firmly believe there are some posting here so I will politely disagree with you about them not having accounts with more than a few posts. The trick is to stay out of the supercharged hot topics so you don't lose your cool on them, and just skirt around the mundane topics with some generic reply to build up post counts.

I've seen posters here with over 10,000 - 20,000 posts, but do a search and half of them are "K&R" or "+1"!

Peace,

Ghost

[musical_soul]

32. Curious.

What was your name over there?

[Ghost in the Machine]

33. Honestly, I can't remember the whole name but I think it was my first name followed by in_Tn

because I live in Tennessee... I've had 3 different computers since then and had the logins save to a notepad document and signed up with a throw-away yahoo email address. At one time, I had over 100 yahoo accounts because I used to play with the script kiddies making yahoo booters and account stealers and stuff. I also owned close to 100 domain names from GoDaddy with an email account from each domain...

Peace,

Ghost

[musical_soul]

38. Okay, thanks.

[Buzz Clik]

40. They used to tout themselves as welcoming of opposing opinions.

But, they came to realize that they cannot handle opposition with brains. So, they lay in the weeds lobbing turd bombs over the fence and ban anyone who dares openly oppose them at their site. The vast majority of that group are ridiculous knuckledraggers with little brain power. A few exceptions, but you can count them on one hand.

Basically, the cave (specifically the DUmp) is a site for people with absolutely no life who make themselves feel better by belittling people who cannot fight back. Spineless assholes.

[Buzz Clik]

49. Sourass? This is not our first dance; we know each other well.

Frank, your colleagues collapsed in short order in the face of the intellectual onslaught of Bain. Others faster than that. So, you won't dispute that aspect of my post.

I know that you don't appreciate me slamming the faint brain power and the godawful intolerance of those around you; but, damn. Heaven knows a flashlight is needed around here to detect signs of mental activity, but I'm just sayin'.

I wish you well and enjoy your epistles.

(The pat-on-the-back to Mr. Skippy was not unnoticed, by me anyway. I tried to alert him of it, but I think he already was off to put his cranium on the rack.)

[Buzz Clik]

53. Now here's a Dog's bark with no bite:

What a liar. You can come over here any time and play, coward.

Uh, yeah. That would explain this:

If your plan is to rewrite history, you'll first need to erase the records. Dolt.

[Buzz Clik]

39. You delude yourself. Some of them have thousands of posts.

They are well protected here.

[hrmjustin]

46. I don't agree. i think they have several well placed moles here.

Serving on mirt showed me a few things that led me to believe we do have long term moles.

[Dreamer Tatum]

47. I guess I'm naive, then. The blatant ones get outed pretty fast. nt

[hrmjustin]

48. They do but we do have a few moles.

I remember back in 2013 things posted in mirt and the host forum ended up on the cave.

[Zorra]

10. LGBT have been "at war" with the right wing every day of out lives. Welcome to the

struggle.

[dissentient]

12. I am boycotting Indiana entirely

Ok, so I've never set foot in the place, but we all can do our little things to help.

[villager]

15. It was time in 1980. But we've been cowering and equivocating ever since.

16. Perhaps you haven't noticed until recently, republicans have been waging war since Nixon.

The latest super offensive (ie actions taken by the offensive people) began when the President crossed a certain brown threshold.
Nixon committing treason in response to LBJ's liberal policies, Reagan committing treason to beat Carter both were covert actions.
Both administrations vomited a lot of criminals.
Bush II did everything he could to subvert the very government he wasn't elected to but awarded.

And the republicans, in their entirety, have done everything they could to disrupt, discredit and steal anything from the lawfully elected President they could; because of the color of his skin.

The entire republican party and a signification portion of the Democratic Party are merely the public face of the ultra-rich, who are anxious to replace the nobility of old Europe with themselves. Exchanging ruling by the divine right of kings, to ruling by the sublime right of money.

On the flip side, nice to see your passion.
Welcome to DU.

[seveneyes]

17. I read the news today. Oh boy!

[Special Prosciuto]

18. Declaring war formally is something the United States, or any other nation hasn't done since 1941.

Yet we and the world have been in an orgy of bloodshed ever since.

War is the wrecking of infrastructure and killing. Personal frustration, raising a fist, yelling 'enough!', registering voters, boycotting Indiana and dissing facebook and twitter adversaries hardly meet the definition of war. Care to define yours?

[Depaysement]

20. Trolling

For more dead. Great.

28. I'm with you one billion percent, tonybgood!

I'm gettin' old, but I can still snap-shoot the seeds out of a grape offhand. Let's hope it doesn't come to that, though, if the right-wing hyenas in my own family are any indicator, it probably will. As you so accurately observed, you cannot reason with sociopaths.

[Mr.Bill]

29. "If they think war is the remedy

then we will give them all the remedy they want"

William Tecumseh Sherman when Atlanta burned.

[Sarcastica]

30. Scratch the term GOP and replace it with "Democratic" and this is a Free Republic post.

I don't work the way they work.

Love, reason, and truth are always the way. Always the hard way, but the only righteous way. (And, actually, the only way that brings lasting change).

[orpupilofnature57]

35. Love, Reason, and truth ? ever gone to free Republic , more than a word

Unsubstantiated paranoia, and hatred are their base, you won't find that here .

[Sarcastica]

36. I would have thought I would never see it here, but it is more common all of the time.

What many don't understand is that the hate and bigotry that is readily demonstrated at Free Republic is an easy trap to fall into. It has to be actively avoided, even by our side of the ideological aisle.

Once you fall into the trap, there is no difference between the sides.

[Snotcicles]

37. Those bungholes at my work won't even try that crap with me anymore.

I tell them "give me a topic and two days to research and then I'll discuss it with you"
Research is like Kryptonite to them.

41. A little narcissism? Poorly played.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

42. ... and ... today's date ....

just sayin'

of course it was posted early last night but, still .....

the OP ....

I don't know

[Buzz Clik]

43. There are characteristic trends.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

44. to the discerning reader, yes.

[NCTraveler]

50. Something that would be more effective.

Get all of your friends who currently don't vote to the polls. We all have them. Conservatism, which I don't think necessarily describes todays Republicans, is dying of old age.

[nichomachus]

52. I already don't patronize overtly Christian businesses

I don't care what someone's religion is. And when I hire people to do work, I don't ask.

OTOH -- when they shove it in my face, I know it's not going to be a good working relationship. I don't know about where you live, but around here, it's not uncommon for people to put a little "Jesus fish" in their ads. I don't know why they do that, but I interpret it as they only want business from Christians, and I oblige them.

I did business with a "Christian" real estate person about 20 years ago and he ripped me off big time -- to the point where I was considering suing him. Of course, I should have been alerted by the fact that his office wall had pictures of him with Richard Nixon.
