JDH: jsnake: I am a union worker and I do not drink the Kool Aid. Not easy being in a union and refusing to be a sheeple. But the constant response of you are a racist anytime you have a differing view of a liberal's is just beyond ridiculous, without merit, and a common tactic they use because their arguments hold no weight. I tend to just mind my own business as long as they aren't trying to make me drink the Kool Aid. And in case anyone here is not intelligent enough to realize this as some liberal family members of mine, Kool Aid is not a reference to race but: "Drinking the Kool-Aid" is a metaphor commonly used in the United States and Canada that refers to a person or group's unquestioning belief, argument, or philosophy without critical examination. The phrase typically carries a negative connotation when applied to an individual or group. The basis of the term is a reference to the November 1978 Rev. Jim Jones Jonestown Massacre, where members of the Peoples Temple were said to have committed suicide by drinking Flavor Aid (not actually Kool-Aid) drink laced with cyanide.RE: Tolerant Liberals & Zombies; it cuts both ways - I've know far more conservatives who are exactly as depicted. This is what happens to a society when ideoplgy replaces common sense and our ability to talk to one another instead of screaming at each other becase we are supposed to be "enemies".

beatnic:Vulture you do have a habit of labeling people. And isn't that at the heart of racisim. It starts with "people from ...........", or your favorite phrase, "people like you". You separate yourself from certain groups because of their supposed stereotypes. Did you guys see Chris Mathews and Eugene Robinson? Calling the Republicans racist for talking about Chicago politics. They actually said that the word "Chicago" was code. These idiots would label a door racist if it was to white for them. Liberals always claim that conservatives do the stuff that they really do.

Ther are being labeled long before they are seen by me. You are free to your opinion about liberals or conservatives or whatever as I dont see myself as either. I do know that when the decisions of a woman's womb or a voter ID card mean more to a voter than the economy, the military, ect. I take issue with that voters ability to see through the forest for the trees. If thats insulting their intelligence, so be it.
Vulchor:They can feel free to be any way they want----cling to their god and guns.
Vulchor:Gimme started a break Than. Ive started alot of these threads and if anyone has been attacked of late, or alweays on here, its anyone who doesnt buy into the right win b.s. You or anyone can have any d@mn values you want, it doesnt mean that I have to agree or even grant them any value. I have said nothing about anyone specifically and am just as entitled to my opinion as you are yours. If my comments about closed minded ring wing whack job hits a nerve with you, tough $hit. Just am Im sure you and the others dont give a rats @ss about offending anyone else wuth your jabs at anyone left of your preceived center. I have a big fuc*king interest in these debates, but Im sorry when I find the values you speak of to be such an anthesis of any logic or rational though its kind of hard for me to sit by and say "yes, you re all correct". Same goes for the Jesus thread. I love the topic, but just as I dont expect to change anyones beliefs, its kinda hard for me to accept that a book written thousands of years ago about a guy who walked on water and rose from the dead is the same factually as reading an encyclopedia.
beatnic:Jake, I have to disagree with you a bit here. From Wiki --- The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is a work of literary journalism by Tom Wolfe, published in 1968. Using techniques from the genre of hysterical realism and pioneering new journalism, the "nonfiction novel" tells the story of Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters. The book follows the Pranksters across the country driving in a psychedelic painted school bus dubbed "Further" (called "Furthur" in the book due to an initial misspelling on the bus' placard), reaching what they considered to be personal and collective revelations through the use of LSD and other psychedelic drugs. The book also describes the Acid Tests, early performances by The Grateful Dead, and Kesey's exile to Mexico.
jthanatos:makes you look like a stupid childish pr1ck.
Vulchor: jthanatos:makes you look like a stupid childish pr1ck.Speaking of chidish. Enough said.
jthanatos: Vulchor: jthanatos:makes you look like a stupid childish pr1ck.Speaking of chidish. Enough said. What? Why are you so sure I am attacking you personally that you ignore my whole post to make a dig at me? That is a general "you", as in all ya'll that go straight to personal insults look like pr1cks, not a singular you. If you are always looking for the worst, you will usually find it.
