Funny, seeing as how I'm not a Democrat. I don't even believe in our system of government.

But Republicans and their values (or lack of) are a tumor on the face of politics, logic, humanitarianism, compassion, reason, and humanity in general.

And the people who agree with them are just as bad in terms of moral and mental acuity.

Don't be a dick.


I had no idea what the hell a vicar is either, and I bet the vast majority of americans are similarly ignorant.  Its not an oft-encountered word.

Does anybody really give a fuck about the particular weirdness of the Limey system of anything.  By the way, isn't a vicar a Church of England creature.  Isn't the Church of England a government agency in effect?

“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims.  Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it.  Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

Don't really see how pointing out a fact is being a dick, not my fault people are illiterate.

Early on I was an Obama detractor since I don't agree with a lot of his policies, but once again Americans were faced with choosing the lesser evil, so I voted for him.

Seriously, a constitutional lawyer and professor who opposes the second amendment doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Electing an old war-dog with no substance and a temper that doesn't suit a diplomat, along with a woman so ingrained in her "faith" that she willingly gives birth to a mentally retarded child, well that makes less sense to me.

In 8 years under a Republican administration this country has:

Started an unjustifiable war costing the lives of countless innocent civilians, young Americans, our allies in war, civilian contractors, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Thrown 3rd world countries into further peril by deposing their government and failing to stabilize the situation. Effectively causing migration to this country to surge, further burdening a weakened infrastructure. Freedom and justice for all, surely.

Turned a surplus into a deficit, effectively fucking the global economy six ways from Sunday.

All the while lining the pockets of those in power and leaving the citizens of this country up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

I can keep going.

A government that does the exact opposite of what it claims it will do, what it's supposed to do isn't worthy of commendation and respect. The people who champion such a government aren't worthy of my respect either, simple as that.

As for how I address those on the opposite side of the ideological spectrum, excuse me if it offends you.

This thread got WAY off topic, it shouldn't even be in this forum.

I kind of resent that.
I'm a Republican and have a high I.Q.

I'm a real Republican, not a fake one like these Neoconservatives that claim to be Republicans. Real like Robert Taft and Ronald Reagan. Not like Bush Senior, Little Bush, McCain, Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, and O'Reilly. Those are the dumb Republicans because they're clueless as to real Republican values.

Those who you disown fly the flag of the GOP these days, and they are the base of the modern Republican party.

Reagan was just as bad as those who followed him; Reaganomics, Iran-Contra, his affiliation with Lee Atwater...

Atwater got Reagan and Bush Sr. elected, was a buddy of Bush Jr. AND taught Karl Rove how to play the game.

Nothing's really changed about the GOP in a long time, it's the same group of people it's always been. Just adopting a slightly different guise to appeal to the mentally defunct of their respective times.

Wow.  Like Reagan but not like any of those other guys.  I'm curious, just what do you think makes the distinction?  By the way, Limbaugh, Levin and Hannity don't so much identify with Republicans as they do as Conservative, which they think the Republican Party has abandoned.

I agree that there were shenanigans with Reagan... His puppet masters probably had a lot to do with it too...

Yeah but the talking heads are still in the pockets of criminal organizations. They won't say anything that contradicts or nullifies the goals of corporations. I think The Republican Party has abandoned more than just conservatism. I personally think The Constitution needs to be amended to include a new branch of government that has the power to veto anything The Congress, The Supreme Court, and The Executive Branch does. Where people are chosen randomly from each state to enforce The Constitution. A new form of checks and balances. The problem with politicians is that from the beginning they have good intentions, and the longer they are politicians, the more corrupt they become. There are exceptions to this rule. I.E. Ron Paul, Kucinich, Gravel, etc...

Well you fail at reality then, congratulations.


In america we have certain freedoms like the right to vote.  You've surrendered that right to an oligarchy of two parties who are moving closer together all the time.


Lesser evil my ass.  If there was nobody running or even in this country that you liked overall you're either ignorant or delusional.  Who told you their were two choices?


And you are mad at other folks cu they don't know the meaning of an irrelevant word (which isn't indicative of illiteracy, btw, its indicative of a poor understanding of the meaning of a word- something you similarly demonstrated wtih your first statement).


Please tell us who the people we were allowed to vote for were?  I guess I messed up.  Somehow I thought I could vote for who I wanted.  Great that we have folks like you who vote for people they think are evil.  And people wonder whats up with the country when they vote for evil candidates.

Hmm, I didn't realise it's not a common word in the US. A vicar is the protestant equivalent of a priest (which is Catholic). You guys might call them Pastors.

We tend to call them Ministers, actually, so perhaps Vicar might be a specifically British thing.

In any case, this just makes the whole story that much funnier :grin:

There's an old Steve Hackett (Genesis) song called "Carry On Up the Vicarage".  I wonder if this is what he was going for.

I hope it was at least a red bliss potato.  Or at most, rather; them Idahoes can get some serious girth.  Ouch.
