damn if it isn't true...

symptomatic.....

the liberal approach defies logic.....we need to outlaw handguns because they are used in crimes.....true, we have laws against murder and they are not obeyed.....we have laws against robbery and they are not obeyed.....but if only we had a law against guns....THAT law would be obeyed, and there would be no more crime!..........

I am not argueing gun control, I am merely pointing out the sillyness of the post about the difference between Liberals and Conservatives.

If you want to argue gun control... I disagree with banning all handguns, but belive we need some common sense gun control, like limits on assault rifles.

Jarod, it's hyperbole. That's what these kind of posts are. The fact that are trying to argue the literal meaning of each statement shows you don't get it.

Thats the problem, many, many rank and file Republcans dont get it! How many people voted against Obama because he "wants to ban all guns", now had it been explained that he merely wants to ban certian guns in certian places... they may have considered his position. They belive that because they read it someplace. Maybe the author ment it to be hyperbole, but they took it literally.

Politics by hyperbole is part of the problem in America, on both sides!

So you think by arguing that here it's going to make a difference?

... Because 'assault rifles' (which have been regulated tightly since 1934 before the term was even thought of) are used in most crimes? Or is it just a tool that you don't understand and are afraid of?

I belive we need a waiting period and background check for guns designed to kill people.

so, you're willing to ban assault weapons, Feinstein wants to ban handguns, Obama wants to ban all guns in cities, but it's silly to pretend there are liberals who want to eliminate all guns anywhere?.......:pke:
 
The "standard" is something that is always changing, just look at English from 20o years ago, its not the same, and English in 200 years will not be the same as today. Your argument is silly.

LOL....not arguing anything. Just stating my dislike for such silliness.

I can read a book like Politically Correct Bedtime Stories (look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politically_Correct_Bedtime_Stories if you haven't read it) and see the humor in such silliness while a liberal probably reads it and thinks, "that's the way things ought to be."

Where did I say I wanted to ban assault weapons?

We have background checks. And waiting periods have been shown to have no effect on crime. Further your final statement shows a bias or ignorance. Guns are not designed to kill people. They are, in the most simple of terms, designed to propel a projectile over distance. They may be good tools for killing, but again that is not necessarily the intent. Just look at a 3 gun competition.

And a stripper is not intended to sepperate a man from his money, she is merely there to look pretty!

1 I never said I was willing to ban assault weapons.
2 I never said noone wanted to pan all guns.

Actually she's there to get naked. I've seen plenty of ugly strippers and subsequently not given any money to them. Of course you're equating a tool to a human being so the entire analogy is false to begin with.

Even the title of this thread "Damned if its not TRUE" tries to say it is not hyperbole.
 
Are all handguns the same thing as all guns? You cant seem to comprehend can you?
You can't either. Nobody has ever suggested the incrementalism is non-existent. And this isn't even closely guarded as a secret for Kucinich.

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn`t buy one. If a
Liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

You have some doubt liberals have not been trying to take guns away from the citizens for years, despite the Constitution?...If so..you're more than a little stupid..there are so many laws right now controlling who, how many, what kind, ....etc....its been going on for 50 years....

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

You haven't heard about the feel good crazies wanting McDonalds and others to post silly signs about fat and calorie content on their menus...silly lefty bullshit to say the least... PETA and other left wingnuts, etc...lol

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat
his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look
good.

The Iraq pullout of US troops from Iraq comes to mind, and now they are questioning the commitment in Afghanistan...I think the libs would rather just forget 9/11...make believe it didn't happen...setting a pull out date is no different than setting a surrender date...its exactly the same outcome...

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

This should need no explaination...demanding marriage, and practically treating homosexuality as a school subject to be taught in schools...'acceptable behavior....bullshit...just because you it like it doesn't mean everyone has to accept it...

If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as
independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

Affirmative action...blame "the Man"....its as plain as the difference between Bill Cosby and Al Sharpton...

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his
situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

Again, its just doesn't need explaining, its right under your very noses today and everyday...


If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

The war against Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Beck....FOX NEWS in general need I say more...the "fairness doctrine".....?

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)

The demand to erase religion from public view, crosses off gov. land....other nonsense....even a moment of silence is verboten by the new brown shirts...

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for
it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

Even people here illegally..Read any of todays papers or watch the news....

If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is
embarrassed. If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.

Tort reform isn't in the liberals vocabulary, is it..?

Like I said, its not to be taken literally...its written for its comic value...but there is more truth there than not
