Does the ellipsis signal some hidden depth; or just an incomplete thought?

Religion = Politics = Poligion (in short).

They're all left-wing to me.

Koojo's trying to make a fantasy football ranting team, and needs to pick some good wingers for his squad. Could be tricky with such a mix of Soccer, Rugger, Rules, Gridiron, and Gaelic players.

Once he turned up at an event with a Chinese boy who had one arm whom he'd found at 'Riding for the Disabled'. The temerity of the guy ! I resigned from the organisation.

He's as Conservative as you can get, but I , a liberal, found that well beyond the pail.

that's because conservatives are intrinsically abusers, maybe it be economic, social or sexual.

like pedophiles, you will always find them at the worst possible places like charity, which is logical, sadly.

True, the divide I speak of mostly applies to Americans, perhaps I should have mentioned that.
For the most part they are either strictly republican or strictly democrat.
The left/right divide does apply in other nations however.
Fruitfly for example, is an example of European lefties, and confirms the point of this thread with his hateful post above, likening Conservatives to paedophiles.

Yes....strictly.

Outside of the Libertarians, Progressives, assorted Anarchists, Arayan Nationalists, tree-hugging Environmentalists, Christian fundamentalists, John Bircher/Isolationists, Socialists-Marxists, etc, etc.

strictly Republicans or Democrats.

I did say FOR THE MOST PART

Lots of silliness from the extreme left, and lots of silliness from the extreme right- when you let your political ideology do your thinking instead of taking each issue on its own merits and coming to an objective conclusion, you're going to sound kind of foolish much of the time.

Um, no, I'm just pointing out that I didn't say ALL are strictly left or right.
You have your Libertarians, Progressives, assorted Anarchists, Arayan Nationalists, tree-hugging Environmentalists, Christian fundamentalists, John Bircher/Isolationists, Socialists-Marxists, etc, etc.
But the majority (what 'for the most part' means) seem to be republicans or democrats.

But which is more hateful, Butterfly's post, or the conservative guy I knew taking advantage of one armed boys.

Doubt you'll provide a straight answer.

Of course the guy taking advantage of one armed boys is more hateful than butterfly making a post equating conservatives with paedophiles, not as stupid though, and irrelevant to this discussion, which is about left leaning TD posters being more prone to outbursts of vitriol and abusive language than right leaning poster.
And lets face it, if we're going to go down that road I'm sure there are plenty of examples of liberals doing terrible things, no political position has the high ground there.
I'm sure BM will be happy to fill you in on all the rapes and assaults carried out at liberal OWS gatherings as opposed to the number of rapes and assaults carried out at conservative tea party gatherings, but this thread isn't about that, threads already exist for those things. In fact many posts on those threads are what inspired this thread.
I definitely have observed on those political threads that it is the liberals who are more likely to lose it and start name calling.

Indeed.

But, back on track, we can thank the Left for giving us Obama, eh?
We were warned:
50 Years Ago Today

"We will Barry you!" :rolleyes:

April 11, 1962 - Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev apparently one-upped American Candy Doyle in the "Bedroom Debate" over gadget technology. However, photo analysis would prove that Khrushchev was actually holding a large ear of corn that did not vibrate. Khrushchev responded with his famous threat, "We will Barry you!"

So what's your opinion on the subject matter?

Are liberals more likely to be abusive and use foul languange in a TD thread than Conservatives?

Yes.

bsnub, Hampsha go into some heavy rants.

Actually cannot think of one conservative on here who flies off the handle like some of those. Komen's well-thought-out replies to Miskitty, bsnub etc are met with derision and name-calling.

This left/right divides may work for some of the thicker American members, but in the real world... the dems/republicans are very close together, as are labour/conservative in the UK; very little changes. If you buy into these two 'polarities' you're being more than naive, imho... :)

Also, much as I hate to admit it, the right wing (:)) NYer makes a few good points above. Anybody that follows a doctrine without critical analysis of the context/situation is all but brain dead and doesn't add to any debate.

And yet every thread that has the whiff of U.S. politics about it seems to polarize them left or right.
Even the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman thread.

^ culture, they've been indoctrinated. We all have, to a degree, but the insular nature of Americans/America just takes it to another level. Sad considering what the place could have been, maybe was for a while?

I agree (once I've added 2 extra words). :)

The only real voters are swinging voters- the rest are just automatons.
It is they that determine the outcome of a free election.

Yes, but we're talking about how liberal posters here are more inclined to be abusive than conservative posters.
What do you think?
Someone mentioned the diiferences between Koman and Bsnub a while ago.
Both apparently articulate intelligent posters, ( i was going to say gentlemen but only one of them is a gentleman.)
But quite different in style.
Left and right.

It's all quite moot, even irrelevant.

The electoral process has no significance on that backward society.
