Was bored of always talking to the same people so I'd taught I'd mix it up and start fresh at a new forum.

A question, some forums are a bit biased. Is this forum the same way or is a it a bit more balanced?

Welcome to the forums David, it is great to have you.

This forum has people from many different viewpoints, but right now I would say we do have more conservative leaning people than liberal (although we do have some big liberals as well.)

By the way, how did you find this forum?

Well as I said, I'm active on a few other forums and got bored (indeed the main 2 forums I use have quite a bit of crossover in the membership) and so I wanted some new faces. So I Googled political forums and this was 1 of the hits I got. :)

This forum seems a bit slower then what I'm used to, however.

We were pretty busy a couple of months ago, but it seems to have slowed down during the summer period. I expect it to get kicking again once schools open up and we head towards winter.

Hi David. I never officially welcomed you, how uncouth.

...right now I would say we do have more conservative leaning people than liberal (although we do have some big liberals as well.)

I do very much hope you are not counting me among them!

I'm the resident commie, by the by.

Greetings, Comrade. Granted I'm not a commie, just a evil (according to the Republican Party :rolleyes:) Democratic Socialist.

You know myp, you guys (assuming you're a Republican) wouldn't be so bad if actual conservatives ran your party. I'd still disagree with the Republican platform obviously but at least the GOP would be logical in it's arguments. As it is, the GOP is as religious and capitalistic as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was atheistic and socialistic which is to say not at all past the paperwork. ;)

It's high time for the American people to end the Democratic/Republican monopoly on power and vote Socialist/Libertarian!

Indeed, greetings comrade.

I do think we need more of a united left. The fractured reality is somewhat concerning.

Actually, i don't think he is a Republican, as far as i'm aware. He's a proper capitalist, rather than one of those corporate apologists.

Solidarity.

Ya, granted the last time the Left was united, it was total anarchy with massive protests, terrorist attacks and sectarian violence to make pre-surge Iraq look peaceful. Ah, how glad I am to not have suffered the '60s. :p

Well that I can respect. So I take it he's a true conservative then?

And victory, don't forget victory. :) Solidarity while crushed under someone's jackboot doesn't do us much good after all. :p

I think he's a rightist libertarian. From what i've seen.

Hmm. How true that is.

Solidarity for future emancipation.

Well then good. 1 of my friends is a right-wing libertarian. I can actually get along with such people.

Indeed.

You don't have to give me that speech :p - I am fully aware of it. And yes, I am a true conservative, a right libertarian, a Goldwater conservative or whatever you want to call it. Dirk might be surprised to know that I am actually registered Republican, although I do disagree with a lot of our party. The only reason I switched from independent to Republican was because of Ron Paul, who I did support and vote for and who I hope can be the start of a major push in the party.

What really makes me lol is comparing the Republican Party of Abe to the Republican Party of today. Went from progressive/socialist, to conservative, to liberal, to social-conservative/conservative and now looks to be going libertarian. Republican Party platform = :confused:.

I was a democrat for 22 years. Helping put up posters going to meetings all that crap. But over the years they just got more fake and their "we are the ones that care" attitude soured on my stomach. The first election after I switched parties they would not let me vote. Who would not let me vote? The democrats that had been putting their signs in my yard for years.

Why?

I mean, i'm not surprised. The Democans and the Republicrats (as i call them) aren't much different to be honest. The difference is that the Republicans are quite open about the fact that they are corporate boot-licking, proletarian-oppressing religious extremists. :p

Something about "the book" not being "open" on the day I switched. It would have to be "open" a certain number of days before the change could be entered.:confused:

I call legal voter fraud using a Dem/Repub engineered loophole. :rolleyes:

Sounds rather dubious to me. Anyone other than comrade David smell a conspiracy?

I smelled one when it happened. But anyone that ever lived in a small country town in the south knows what happens if you start a fracas at the courthouse. I had them threatening to "get a deputy" back in October.:(
