I actually do support the war. I know thats not real popular right now but thats me.

Did you see the posts I submitted before I deleted them?

Also Cairo, I do agree with you on many issues. It's the sharpness of your delivery that makes me poke fun at you. Both you and radar have some really great posts here. Unfortunately both you guys (generic term) hurl verbal arrows at each other.

You wont sway a person's core beliefs with a cellar post, even if you back it up. It's a core belief solidified over years of experience. If one person calls another an asshead(TM) and attaches exclaimation point to their post, the effect is no different from being polite. Being polite or funny is somewhat more enjoyable in an argument that no one really gains or loses though. What we may all do here is expreess how a given philosophy works or doesnt work in our lives. Nothing more.

ROTFLMAO...Hehehe, wolf...you also have a brilliant sense of humor to go with the Miss Congeniality Title! Luv it!

Please bear with me, wolf, I'm running out of definitive adjectives here. LOL....

Slang -
I know you do, and yes I read it. What I object to is you deleting it. What you posted was the unvarnished truth of how you felt/feel, which every patriotic American finds logical, justified, and with reason. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not only slapping the face, dishonoring, and spitting on 3,000 lives lost, but are doing the same to America, and her Right to defend that attack!

My purpose on messageboards is never to sway or change anybody, it's to counter the liberal pukes' utter garbage so that lurkers who happen upon this place don't think the World has gone to Hell in a Socialist-basket. Most of the people who just read the threads are saying "Right on!" and laughing when I throw down on Mookie what he dished up first! I mainly post to the lurkers out there who are reading, anything else is just me having a little fun.

"My purpose on messageboards is never to sway or change anybody, it's to counter the liberal pukes' utter garbage..."

I can see how that would be satisfying but I can't see how it would be fulfilling.

Wouldn't you rather engage message boards with the notion that you may well learn something, rather than the notion that you're headed out to school people you feel are unworthy?

Liberal puke Al Franken said something that I thought was really, really genuinely remarkable the other day. He said that he had to realize, in life, that he could learn from people not as smart as he.

Even if you've figured almost everything out, there is still so much to learn.

I'll bet that the very worst liberal puke on this messageboard has things about them that you would find fascinating. Everyone here is very bright and brings a lot to the table. Many of them live in other countries, isn't that cool?

Spend some time posting non-political things to the non-political sections and see what happens. Talk about food and snow and coffee and houses and music. Then come back to the political and see if there's a difference.

What, exactly, is it that you believe "we all" have forgotten?

Gee, thanks for the first lesson, but I don't want to be a "Cellarite".
The correct term is Dwellar. And if you don't want to be one... if you don't want to become a part of the community... then why on earth are you here, you stupid bitch? Or is this the equally stupid husband I'm addressing? I can't keep you two straight. Henceforth, I will refer to you in the plural.

Quote:

Keeping your mind so open that your brains fall out, is not sound advice...but I see some of you took it.
Certainly no danger of that in your case, is there?

BTW... as one of the most vocal members of the faction of Right-Wing Militant Extremists here on the Cellar, I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that darling Cairo are not, in fact, representative examples of a true conservative... any more than Radar is representative of a Libertarian, or tw is representative of a liberal. (Okay... tw really is an accurate representative of liberals, but you get my point.)

Poor Cairo are simply a moron with an identity problem. This month they identify herself as a conservative. Next month they'll be a Whig. Month after that they'll be an Eagle scout... or a Mormon... or parties to a class action lawsuit against Procter & Gamble claiming that Tampons cause mental retardation... whatever.

Some day, Cairo will find the group that's right for them. For now, we can only pity them and wish them Godspeed in their search.

Wow ... there are enough of us to be considered a faction?? Whoo hoo!!!!

Today The Cellar, tomorrow ... uh. Nevermind.

Maybe we can do something about New Jersey, though?

tw is an example of an extremist liberal (God, I hate using that "extremist" tag, but that seems most appropriate.) HB, I would refer to you and your kind as reasonable conservatives...much as I would call myself a reasonable liberal.

But we don't need Cairo and her kind here...they are embarrassments to their local community, the State of Texas, the United States of America, North America, Earth, and the human race. I fear that they will spread their disease to their children.

Wolf, NJ is a lost cause...face reality already.

Cairo (s), you've served to generate deep disgust from right, left, and middle. Due to the collective nature of your silly and insulting posts, I'm left with the impression that you really work messageboards to instigate response, any response, all response, for some sad, greedy attention need- Even if its negative, its all about you, eh?

End of analysis and effort. What Hubris mumble mumble so eloquently said.

Shhhhhh! Silly Wolf! It's supposed to be a secret... for now.

Let me have a mailing address via PM where I can send your brown shirt and truncheon.

And yes, we'll get around to New Jersey eventually. As a matter of fact, one of our larger "reeducation facilities" is scheduled to be built somewhere in the pine barrens.

But that's for later. Our first order of business is to clean out that festering cesspool of wrongheaded liberalism: Torresdale !!!

No problem, I can see you guys approaching from my patio. I also have an airport and a stockpile of weapons and food just up the street.

Our part of town is actually middle of the road, leaning right. We have Republican state reps and a Republican City Council Rep, but a Democratic State Senator and a Democratic Congressman. We might have had a Republican Congresswoman, but playing the race card in our part of the district probably cost her the election.

Whoa there pardner -- has this been established? Was there a thread or post that I missed? I'm sure this self-proclaimed "Daughter,Sister,Wife, and Mother" (possibly all to the same person from the intelligence of the posts) is in a transitional period between identity groups that HB mentioned before. Egads! I hope it's not a Texan.

Blowmee, she's made various references to Texas in her posts...this being the most recent one:

Her best offer was from Rice University, so my niece is winding up her Freshman year at Rice...and the best part? She's still in Texas!

Don't sweat it...I seriously doubt she is representative of Texans in general.

As some of you might have noticed, slang is taking some time off...he told me last week that he had some other stuff to work on, but that he'd be back soon.

But I didn't know that involved writing a book.
