It'll get moved just like the last time when I posted this six months ago as a gag. But of course, people here are too damn serious and can't take a joke.

My purpose of posting this in Tilted Politics is not to redicule Republicans or to single out any groups; but rather to generate genuine discussion over the issues this pamphlet addresses.

Because in all actuality, "Republican" is just a name.

But it's SO true.....

Are you serious? You expect a serious talk regarding this? You've got to be kidding. Or extremely arrogant.

Sorry, but I agree completly. This is a troll, pure and simple. Even though I appreciate what it is trying to communicate, it won't educate anyone or spur any kind of political discussion. All it will do is get you high fives from liberals, and hatred from conservatives.

Worse than that, Will. I am a fiscal conservative and a social progressive. I'm offended by the notion that Republicans or Democrats are an either/or proposition as this bit of nonsense implies.

And this is the type of discussion I was trying to generate! Thank you!

Nonsense is in the eye of the beholder. We can only truly understand each other when we can look past these labels and names. I wouldn't go so far as to call this nonsense because it conveys what many people are truly feeling and thinking! Don't you see it happening? We are turning against each other. We are supposed to be defending ourselves from those who do us harm; but we are creating new enemies within our own country. It's turning into gang-warfare; Republicans v. Democrats.

I am one of I-don't-know-how-many who believe the U.S. and the entire WORLD is due for a revolution. But it shouldn't be against each other. We need to figure out a verbal battleground; where instead of people dying, we progress with new ideas. Yes, these ideas can be outright biased (like this flash I posted here), but they're still existing and valid ideas.

Discuss, people. Don't condemn.

Hey, you're preaching to the libertarian/green/socialist choir here.

Everything I do is to ensure my daughters safty and happyness. I know that it is my responsibility as a father to do everything in my power to not only ready my daughter for the world, but to do as much to fix the world for my daughter. When I shoot down the actions of the current administration, or accuse someone of blindly following them, it's not for the good of the country. It's not to prove I'm right, and the other guy is wrong. I don't really care if there are more red states than blue states or visa versa. I coulnd't care less if you vote for idiot number one or idiot number two. All I care about is are you trying to make the world better or worse? The simple fact is that the current administration has brought nothing but corruption, distrust, war, disaster, and death. 100 years from now while Nixon will get a paragraph in a text book, Bush will get a chapter. The division of which you speak is not motivated by competetiveness or testosterone. This isn't gang warfare. I have and will continue to turn on those who do not work in the best interest of the future of not only this country, but this planet.

But this is still a troll.

All I can do is shake my head in utter disgust and disappointment. You are a moderator, and you have a right to do what you did. I'm just communicating that I completely disagree with it.

[tecoyah]

I apologise if I disgust you....certainly not my intent. It has been an uphill battle to keep the flames low in that board....My call, blame me, So Be It.

I moved it here the last time it was posted as well.

I just want to make it clear that YOU personally do not disgust me; just the action that was taken. Please don't think I'm personally attacking you. I disagree with your opinion. I hope we can keep it as simple as that.

then THAT is what you should be framing as a discussion. A flash pamphlet has nothing to do with it except stoke the fires of trolls.
