Politalker,
what you fail to understand is the mass of the population speaks in a course way
they use invective
watch a popular cable show and you will see what I mean.
all theb political comedy shows that get good ratings speak just like my posts
You can pretend you can reach people with church speak
but that doesn't make it real
if you want to reach a population you have to speak like that population.
I am a part of that population and have always played with invective as a language tool for fun
lenny bruce
Richard pryor
george carlin
those comedians all used invective to an art and effected the political sphere far more than most preachers
speak to the people in the language they speak
or only reach a few
invective is funny
maybe not to you
but to the vast majority of Americans it is funny
a plus is creative invective confuses the Russian bots
it is NOT designed to offend you

No, it's not funny the way it is being used here.
And if what you are saying is true then MLK would have gotten nowhere.
I understand things on the street have gone downhill since then. But I assure you, professionals do not do this. There are places, settings where this is not done, not acceptable. And I tell you one thing. A heck of a lot more gets done in those settings than is ever accomplished here.
It is up to each one of us to choose if this is the way you want to be or not. Obviously, since it is allowed in this place, then this is where that mindset congregates. Politics is not discussed like this in professional settings. You won't hear much of it in a court room. If you call up your Congressional Representative and start talking like that they will hang up on you. Call in to an on-air show and you will be cut off for talking like that.
Don't even think for a minute that street slang is the norm in America. The way it is here at JPP? That does not represent America.

I would read this thread and reply to it, but it has a coward's list of folks the poster is scared of, so the poster shields himself with a gang of parrots. Typical of the snobbish leftist cowards.

Hello Robo,
Too funny.
You just replied.
Saying you're not going to reply, in a reply, is laughable.
I am not afraid of anybody. Speak for yourself, gut puncher. You don't understand my reasoning for using that list. If I utilize the Ignore feature or the Thread Ban feature it is because I am availing myself of the options available to me in order to enhance my posting experience.
-There are far more posts than any one person can keep up with.
-I prefer to discuss politics in a civil manner with people who respect one another.
-There are a lot of flame wars here, which I have zero interest in.
-Using the Ignore and thread ban features allow me to easily filter out the trash-talk, which makes it easier to get right to the higher quality posts.
-It's a time-saver.
-Making up stereotypes, demonizing people who believe differently, is just a way to try to make hatred OK. Hatred is not OK.
-I never saw taxes make a rich man poor. That's me saying that. I wrote that. Accept no substitutes. This is the genuine original thread by the person who wrote it.
-People mostly use other priorities besides taxes when deciding where to live.
-More Conservative Myths blown away.
-Watch it with the personal attacks. Did you come here to talk about politics or rag on those with whom you disagree?
-That is a serious problem for a lot of conservatives. Their ideology depends on a lot of made up baloney, stereotypes and myths about liberals. They think half the nation is actually trying to destroy the nation, which is patently absurd. And totally incorrect - misplaced wrong thinking. Most people want a strong USA, just want to be able to live and work and enjoy a nice life, no matter what their politics.
-It is best to stick to what people actually say.
-When a Republican tells you what Democrats do/say/want? He's probably wrong.

Depends on your definition of rich. There have been many small business owners, who made good money, who have been forced to move because of taxes or regulations. Some have even gone out of business because they couldn't move. And let's be honest about this. Those taxes and regulations you jealous bastards want to slap on the rich prevent others from starting their own businesses. You want to sock it to the rich, hoping that some of it will come your way. It doesn't work that way. If you want money, go out and earn it. With some hard work, you might become what you hate. A rich person. Lol

I never ban anyone
I don't even groan at people
I use the pos rep option
I let my words do the work they are meant to do
Ignoring who we truly need to fight doesn't produce the needed outcome
I fight who needs to be fought
I don't hide in a closet to make it MORE FUN for me
I fight the stupid that is killing us
the very idiots who ban me all the time
I repeat
I have NEVER banned anyone else from a thread
I have NO one on ignore
I have never neg repped anyone
NEVER
I am not here for a pleasant experience
I AM HERE TO FIGHT THE LIES THAT ARE TRYING TO ILL THIS NATIONS DEMOCRACY
Hello Grugore,
Why would anybody want to become what they hate? Well, of course, nobody would. It makes no sense. Which means that your statement is based on a falsehood.
Ya wanna know what really stands in the way of entrepreneurs? Health care. Many consider trying it on their own but if they give up working for a big corporation they give up their health care. So they never make that leap, never start a small business.
Universal health care would foster more entrepreneurial start-ups, more local business, more secure small business jobs.

Hello Nordberg,
So true.
It is only to be expected. But it is also a Conservative Myth that people move because of taxes. That is simply not the primary reason for most moves. Family, work, school and climate/topography are the primary reasons people move, or stay where they are.
