An open letter to all of the conservatives &/or Republican voters...

TD

HAS INTEGRITY
.... Sorry for letting my emotions get the best of me and using derogatory remarks and speaking in the pejorative (sic?) about you all. We all have one thing in common, and that is making our country the best place it can be. We just have different views of how it is going to take to get there. This should no divide friendships, families, and our country. I think for the most part we shoud just avoid political discussions on this board, 'cause at the end of the day, no one is right or wrong, it is all opinion, and just get back to having respect for one another! :hotjump:
 
I too apologize for the tone of my reply. My gloating got the best of me... hahaha

Truth is neither red states, blue states, one states, two states, liberals nor conservatives have a monopoly on what's right or best for this country. Politicians are elitist bastards (both sides of the aisle) and us down here in the trenches actually working for a living do their dirty work. There has to be a balance between both liberal and conservative voices or you have chaos. Democrats would lead us into a socialist mess and Republicans would leave us with monopolies and huge class divisions. The best thing we can do as a country is truly come together, make are elected officials accountable for doing their jobs and not just marking time, serving their special interests and drafting excuses.

Write your congressman, get involved with you local political parties, vote, do something. If not, you're just bitching and moaning and you're just part of the problem. Case in point. Michael Powell and his Republican cronies wanted more media consolidation about a year ago. It'd allow fuckers like Clear Channel to have monopolies on venues, radio, newspapers, you name it. I wrote ALL my representatives, people I consider to be on my Republican team and told them they were FLAT fucking wrong on supporting this. A week later my Senator changed his vote and the media ownership rules were not changed in congress. I'm not saying it's the power of one voice, but many can be deafening and drown out all the bullshit.

Satan Bless America,

It's all good and I totally agree about keeping political threads to a bare minimum on here. It really creates some negative vibes and its all for nothing because nobody is changing anybody else's mind here. Our country will be fine and would have been no matter who won.
 
I still hold true to liberal views, but I think things got to heated in here, and people that are otherwise good buddies with one another got really nasty, and that isn't what it's about. I'm truly scared the whole country is going this direction...........
 
Good points everyone. And TD I'm glad you and some of the conversatives argued they're point of view. It means you guys care.

Bi-Partisanship is key to getting anything thru congress or the Senate. The older I get I vote for more moderate Republicans and Conservative\Southern Democrats. I did vote Libertarian for President and US Senate. Voting is fun.

mrthrax - great point!!!!

Can we all go for a frosty mug of beer or a root beer now?
 
This is how it's supposed to be. It's America, we're supposed to disagree and express our views to each other and if we don't agree that doesn't make people neo nazis or commi pigs. If people voted based on morals or religion that's their decision and their right. If they voted on the war, economics or even size of penis that's the right of the people. fuckin' A.
 
Right on, TD + Brentney. I actually think it's good that we were discussing all that stuff. I'm interested to hear what other people think, especially people who I completely disagree with because otherwise I can't fathom where they're coming from. I don't get the impression that I offended anyone, but if I did it was not intended and certainly wasn't personal.
 
Lets talk skullfucking. One of my favorite past times. Thats the great thing about America, Skullfucking. You can be a democrat or a republican and you can still be skull fucked. Be part of the solution. Skullfuck someone today.
 
i agree, i have no problem hanging out with liberals or talking with them, working with liberals, playing golf with or shooting pool with liberals, i just don't want them in power and running the show.
 
[font=arial,helvetica]The election is over, the results are now known.
The will of the people has clearly been shown.
We should show by our thoughts and our words and our deeds
That unity is just what our country now needs.
Let's all get together. Let bitterness pass.
I'll hug your elephant.
You kiss my donkey.

We're all on this board for our love of good music and things. Except for Buddy, who is here because he likes to suck schlong. But that is ok, because as a liberal Democrat, I think Buddy should have the right to be a mud-shark, as long as it isn't my browneye he wants to stick it in. Or any of my friends, like Thraxdude and Bassfellow. FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK WE SALUTE YOU.
