Hello all, Just thought I would bring this to anyone who is interested. Republican Pride This is a site I am developing with some real enthusiastic political guys with very strong convictions. We are swinging for the fences with this one. We really want to give people a voice. A place where they can go and post good news, bad news, information, outrage. ALL OF IT. We are looking for people to contribute full time, part time, at your own pace - whatever. We have some great contributors already and are looking for some more. So if your interested, swing by. Thanks! -DM- _______________ One Day, it will all end. |

While I thoroughly respect your opinion and your right to said opinion. Does your board offer a rebuttal area, to allow those that oppose your view a voice on your site? Kinda like the "State of Union Addy" we get tortured with every year, you know the President says alot of stuff for a couple hours, then the guys in government that don't like the President get to talk for 5 minutes about how the Pres has it all wrong...rofl It would be the American thing to do, it would be the fair and balanced thing to do. _______________ “Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics.

Quote: Precisely. But the Naderites will never think that through. Everybody understands that if the price of meat tripples, a burger will be more expensive. Why is it so different to understand that if another ingredient of the burger--the labor to produce it, deliver it, cook it and ask if you'd like fries with it--triples in price, that too will make the burger much more expensive. something to consider... there is not a one to one ratio in the relationship of product cost to labor cost. some anecdotal evidence... last time minimum wage was increased my dad thought things were going to be bad. his labor costs were going to jump significantly. so, he had to raise his menu prices to try to offset the labor cost increase. but to his surprise, business increased because people that previously didn't make enough money to eat as his restaurant started coming in to eat there. end result, the increased business actually made his profits increase despite the large increase in fixed costs of labor. rasing minimum wage in a mass-production market does work. as the per unit cost of goods and products is not affected as proportionally as the wage increase itself. but that's something that certain econimists don't want you to realize  _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it!

Quote: I signed the petition to get Nader on the ballot in Ohio. I suspect the majority of signatories were Republicans.  The guy gathering signatures was going on and on about how when Nader is President he'll raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. I started to ask him why not raise it to $100 an hour but stopped myself. SO if i nader ever becomes president (which he never will) there will be massive inflation. |

CT OWNS ALL THAT IS DECENT AND PURE. Oh and real quick, Mr. Sith, Neoconservatism refers to the political movement, ideology, and public policy goals of "new conservatives" in the United States, who are mainly characterized by their relatively interventionist and hawkish views on foreign policy, and their lack of support for the "small government" principles and restrictions on social spending, when compared with other American conservatives such as traditional or paleoconservatives. They do not speak for republicans even though they may say they are in our party. They have not ruined our "once decent" party. They are not even a thought in the true republicans mind. I could say all the ultra left wing wackos ruined the democrats too, but that just doesn't make sense. Republican Pride is American Pride. w00t! -DM- _______________ One Day, it will all end.

/me throws a elephant at Moby _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" |

Quote: Pff, c'mon. This Republican website has a subforum called "The Loony Left", with the description below it reading The stuff that just makes you wonder if liberals even take themselves seriously. I don't mind it, but on the other hand I wouldn't rant on someone just for saying "Don't get me started" either. Point: Kenyon. There's flaming aplenty on both the liberal and conservative side. Personally, I don't mind hearing somebody called "loony," or whatever, if there are some facts to back it up. A lot of people confuse any disparaging language with ad hominem, but there's a difference: You're a bonehead, therefor your argument is invalid. Your argument is invalid, therefore you are a bonehead. The first assertion is ad hominem, a fallacy. The second is possibly a valid line of reasoning, provided that the person making it can show why the argument in question is invalid. I don't have a problem with a "Loony Left" forum. Just remember that such a forum's credibility will be predicated on the presence of factual examples of the Left's lunacy and undermined by any suggestion that all Democrats are like that. I think "The Extreme Left" would have been a better title for the forum, and it would better serve itself by leaving out the language about how liberals take themselves seriously--I myself know lots of liberals I take very seriously and quite a few I don't. _______________ My signature is only one line.

Quote: Go ahead and start Eica. Demonstrate your hatred for people who think about things differently than you. Show your all encompassing compassion and tolerance for your fellow man by insulting them. Say how George Bush is evil and even take credit for Iraq. By the way they had another election with voter turnout higher than most other democratic countries the other day. But yeah don't start, of course that would have required you not posting anything here at all. George Bush is evil? |
