any "nice" conservatives out there?

The intolerance of the liberals, as demonstrated by the Democrats:

2 - believing anything Michael Moore says
3 - calling Al Franken's radio show "talk radio"
4 - blaming every failure of the welfare state on "not enough money, not enough staff, and not enough time"
5 - claiming the media is biased against liberals

Yes you are so right hoosier.

1 - Do you know who Senator Harry Reid is? I would call that some pro-life leadership.
2 - I was unaware I did that. It's a good thing I have a smart conservative man like you to not only tell me how to think, but what I think.
3 - How is Al Franken anything less than Limbaugh?
4 - Um, where did you get this quote from?
5 - The media is biased against anything that isn't the media.

Would you like me to send you some of my tax refund so you can buy a clue?

p.s. ADPi Conniebama, I love how you're a "Jesus Freak" with a gun. So ironic, yet so hillarious...

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who saw how ironic that was.

I might be considered a mean conservative to someone who disagrees with me. I am a "Jesus Freak", small business owner, college graduate, republican, who is farther right then Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, I own a gun and I would use it in the case of physical harm or hunting (if the time came that it were necessary).

I own a leather coat and wonder if the day would come that a liberal tree hugger ever threw red paint on me (and they better be able to run faster then me in their canvase sneakers. {even though I should turn the other cheek}) I believe in a right and a wrong and my beliefs are based on the infallible Word of God.

I do not judge people but I do judge actions. I am pro-life, anti-gay marrage, pro-smaller government, and I know that if the United States wasnt a "Christian" Nation then this country we love would not have freedom of religion that all of the liberals love to "throw up" at all of us Christians. (also, before anyone says anything I do not think that anyone who is gay or has had an abortion is going to hell that is between them and God)

Oh and if the republican party ever moved farther to the left then it already has I will find another party that matches my beliefs and support it to the best of my ability. Because, I try to put people in power that match my beliefs politically and personally.

However, If you were to meet me you might like me, cause I am a basically nice person who stands firm on her beliefs, and at least you should respect that.

just my 2 cents (< i usually hate when people spill their guts then put that at the end of their post but it seemed to fit this time)

Oh my goodness, I SOOO Love you.

PhiPsiRuss, please give me specifics. I'm not one to accept random statements without reasons for them.

1)How is a thread that points out one instance of intolerance, and asks others' opinions on it, hypocritical?

Did you read this sentence that you wrote?

You just admitted that you cited "one instance of intolerance." One. That's all. Just one. What's the title of this thread? "any 'nice' conservatives out there?" The title of this thread implies a scope way beyond "one instance of intolerance."

As far as your statement that "I'm not one to accept random statements without reasons for them," that's exactly what you did when you used a sampling of "one instance of intolerance" to make broad, sweeping generalizations.

However, to call liberals fascist is a bit of an overstatement that I believe is a little absurd --- unless, of course, you can show me that liberals are dictatorial in nature.

This is very simple if you know what Liberalism really is. The definition of it got corrupted in America early in the 20th century. Classical liberals are never fascist. Modern day American "liberals" often are. Do a search in this forum on liberals, and you'll see what I, and others have said.

Tolerance is lacking straight across the political spectrum. Take people who call themselves "pro-choice" and advocate "tolerance." How should children be educated? In a government owned, command-and-control, structure where values are dictated. Fascist and hypocritical.

Lots of people (like me) are pro-choice and want as little government as possible...to me, the two naturally go together. If you're trying to make the gov't smaller you don't need to stuff a bunch of rules about reproductive rights (or lack of same) in it.

I agree with you on the laughable defnition of the word "tolerance"...but I don't think the abortion debate goes with it.

Its not ironic that I own a gun and am a Christian. Because I am a Christian am I suppose to allow my self to be robbed, or raped, NO!! Not with out a fight anyway.

LUKE 22 (RSV)
35 And he said to them, "When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing." 36 He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me,

Granted I am taking that verse a little out of context but not out of its meaning. If someone takes my cloak I am suppose to give him my shoes too but RAPE AND MURDER ARE DIFFERENT.

I knew someone would say something about the whole "own a gun thing" Don't forget I am in Alabama we get one issued at birth. (Just Kidding, I don't want to make any southern anti NRA libs getting mad at me for that JOKE)

Curious as to how you "know" this? Also curious if you happen to "know" what the powerball number will be on Wednesday.

You guys Jesus and I just had a little meeting (he brought the Krispy Kreme, I brought the wine for a change) and he said that our founders really weren't too into the religion, particularly that one Ben Franklin dude.

I go to school with a lot of nice conservatives...and a lot of really big mean doodieheaded ones.

Ah yes, here's the entire point of our nation, a denial of the integration of religion into the state or its practices (aka "rejection of the Anglican church").

Also, next time just bring the water, and JC will do the rest.

Hey, isn't that whole "turning the other cheek" thing in the Bible too? I mean, I could be wrong since I'm a non-Christian "lib" but I really thought it was.

Yes it is, only it says if someone strikes you on one, to offer them the other, and if someone requires that you go one mile with them to go two. It goes on to say that if someone takes your cloak do not withold your shirt. I wouldn't take this to mean "If someone wants to rape or kill you let them rather than defend yourself." You get into a lot of specifics and subtleties when you look at this with honest study, rather than just saying "turning the other cheek".
Are you asking honestly or are you being facetious?

I'm really being facetious because (1) you can find a Bible verse to use for whatever point you're trying to make and (2) I kind of like playing with the angry conservatives.

According to my self defense professor, a rapist would have already knocked you down and tried to do whatever he pleases by the time you would have dug thru your purse and found your loaded gun and aimed it your rapist's head. This is why it's advised to not carry mace and other "weapons" because you wouldn't have time to search, aim, and fire.

Unless your gun is glued to your hand, a swift kick in any sensitive area will give you more of a chance of escaping.

That ends your friendly PSA from a resident Catholic liberal.

Okay, the logic here just went over my head. The U.S. is clearly a Christian nation because our founders chose NOT to have an official religion? What?

Not to mention that, if you're taken by surprise, you can easily be overpowered and any weapon you're carrying can be used against you. What you think is an advantage is probably more likely to become a disadvantage . . .
