This month's winner....

Think tank?  Yeah, cons already have a surplus of those and it's not like they win elections or anything.
Me, I'm just tired of bigotry. There's no reasoning with the unreasonable. The con ideas I like, within reason, never come up for discussion--it's always hate-the-liberal and childish namecalling. Elections are over, holiday season is upon us, and I've got better things to do with my time than a simple exercise of barb-trading.

Do you not understand that name calling happens from both sides?  I mean you blame one side while allowing it from the other side.  Bigotry happens from both sides.  You have the liberals who think that the GOP are nothing more than uneducated twits because they don't agree with them.  You have liberals who think that GOP are Racist because they do not like Obama.  Then you have cons who think that liberals like welfare or not working.  So either way you look at it bigotry exists on most issues.  My fault was I did not step in where I should have

Not interested in anything you're selling, Don.

[Don Houston]

So you are not interested in cold hard truth?  Gotcha

[donni]

you certainly don't have that, don. u did not stand up against bigoted lies. the lies r what we don't have to listen to or justify with answers. lying may be protected speech but no one must sit still for it. i call it where i see it and then i turn my back on obvious lies. u can spout them till u r blue in the face for all i care but do not expect me to legitimize them by paying one whit of attention to those spouting them. last words on this for u.

I'm up to dealing with bigots, but on my terms--not as co-admins or even as admins on any board.

The one thing that bigots need to cease being blind to is how society at large rejects their bigotry.  To some degree they already know that, given how they speak in "dog whistles" (coded language only they can hear as meaning something else) and it took this past election to cause some of their ilk to realize just how rejected their nonsense is.

I'll debate issues based on fact--it's impossible to debate anyone devoid of fact while based almost entirely on prejudice/stereotypes as if those were facts.  They always dare you to "prove me wrong" and they deny fact when faced with it.  They're not only useless, but hopelessly useless...not to mention a total waste of time and energy.  I have better things to do and better people to hang out with.

First off, we are talking about Rowdy.  Rowdy HAS hours of research and just like your research you don't agree with hers.  Has some been debunked, sure but that does not mean all.  As for being a bigot, she does not like Obama, has nothing to do with his skin color.  Does Bush's skin color have bearing on why you don't like him?  No.  Does she think he is a Muslim, sure.  Many do.  And many have issues with that faith after 9/11.  Does not mean they are uneducated.  It means they have a big fear.  As for not standing up Donni, what you don't know is I did privately. I'll leave it at that.  But when Clara attacked her education, I let her go.  And then Clara attacked my education and then implied I was a bigot which was uncalled for on her end.

So you want to go there, I can take you to sites where I see the Liberals play the Race Card, FOX News Card, Rush Limbaugh card all the time.  If you want to stop dealing with it you need to deal with in your own party.  Everyone calls the Republicans CONS and we are suppose to deal with it.  But NEVER call me a bigot or uneducated.  Sorry  both of those things about me are an OUTRIGHT LIE and I won't tolerate them.  Ray's original post was not racist in the slightest.  It was about both candidates being similar.
