funny stuff

What the heck is with the text editor today? or am I just having a bad day?

Good post.

btw not sure if the text issue is you or the forum. I'm gonna guess you...

I've sent a copy to a certain Liberal member in my area....man she sure is a "member" too.

Enjoy it Anita.

HAHA That sure is a funny email you got yourself there....

;-)

Gross oversimplification, and on some of those topics I'd expect the exact opposite, but a somewhat funny post nonetheless.

When a conservative sees a foreign threat he prepares for war while a liberal might are to ask why it's there. For example, why does Iran *hate* the US? Because the US replaced a democratically elected government with a murderous dictatorship in 1953. This is undisputed history. It was replaced by the Islamic revolution because Iran lost its faith in democracy, because it knows, which is true, that the US and UK will not allow democracy in Iran unless it suits their interest, specifically oil interest... specifically for a company called British Petroleum. (Iran's hostility towards Israel and its nuclear program are a direct and easily foreseeable result of how the west have screwed Iran over several times, but don't get me wrong, Iran is a real threat nonetheless that needs to be dealt with... but let's try to remember why.)

Now, conservatives will go on and on about how horrible the Islamic revolution was to Iran, and it's true. But maybe it would help to apologize for one's past mistakes and try to freaking learn something from it. That apology got Obama a standing ovation in Egypt just a few months ago, and for good reason... because the Arabic world deserves an apology for how the west has behaved throughout history towards it. I cannot think of a single foreign threat except North-Korea which the west itself is not directly responsible for and should have bloody known better. It's not a matter of giving up, it's just a matter of learning from your mistakes.

On the homosexuality thing, OH PUH-LEASE, homosexuals have been oppressed for thousands of years and are still detested by many conservatives who think it's their business to tell others how to live their sex lives. This obnoxious and ridiculous "debate" over homosexual marriage is a perfect example of this. Liberals tend to believe in this crazy, liberal idea of the same rights for all, and ensuring those rights is not an infringement on yours. To ensure the same rights for homosexuals that heterosexuals take for granted is not legislating respect, it's exactly the same thing that gave women rights. And at the time, CONSERVATIVES opposed those. It was CONSERVATIVES who were opposed to desegregation of the races, and CONSERVATIVES who were against the abolition of slavery. It's CONSERVATIVES who dictate to you which chemicals you're allowed to put in your own body. It was CONSERVATIVES who have wanted to ban things, not liberals.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with conservatives on some things like certain parts of economics (which are far too complicated to stamp either conservative or liberal). But when conservatives go liberal-bashing, I'll remind them that conservatives have traditionally been against the most important achievements in the progression of the human race! It's like some kind of backwardsism, sometimes.

Last but not least, I'll throw out the caveat that things are not simply conservative or liberal, and a lot of modern-day conservative ideas are traditionally liberal and vice versa.
