Great. who's alt are you now? Just so we can get this out of the way.

Anyone remember when this was a light-hearted, witty banter sort of site?

ZackServo: FloydA: When NRO says something nasty about you, you know you're making the US and the world a better place.

and 20 years from now America will be a joke, thanks to all the same bullshiat thats going on in foreign and domestic affairs without any god damn change. Obama is just as bad as Bush, just as bad as Clinton, and just as bad as Bush Sr. America is going down the shiatter thanks to the failure of our ever expanding government, but disregard fact because you have HOPE am I right?

and all you have is a tinfoil hat.

in response to DarwiOdrade,
I'm stating the honest facts as many, many people see it. I'm glad that my family is well off and I have an actual hope aside from blindly putting my faith into a politician that promises change(LOL).

that1guy77, exactly.

ZackServo: Awesome, the failed logic of lefist american doctrine has overtaken your weak mind and now you think that everyone that disagrees with Obama is a neocon.

I used to be able to read threads and chuckle all the way through. Even the trolls were funny to read.

SkinnyHead		2009-10-03 09:04:57 PM

ragekage: Back when not-Obama was President, "conservatives" couldn't stand Europeans. Funny how contempt turns to adoration so quickly.

Burn, dude. Burn. Spin your way out of that one, SkinnyAlt, I'd love to see it. 5 points if you can do it convincingly, but I'm gonna bet you'll suddenly ignore that.

We need a president who earns international respect, not adoration. We have a president who has become so intoxicated on adoration that he earns international contempt.

DarwiOdrade		2009-10-03 09:04:59 PM

ZackServo: YodaTuna: The best evidence that Obama is doing the right thing is that the neo-conservatives are so convinced he is doing the wrong thing.

Awesome, the failed logic of lefist american doctrine has overtaken your weak mind and now you think that everyone that disagrees with Obama is a neocon.

Talk about failed logic. It clearly says all neocons disagree with Obama, not the other way round. This is how the right manufactures outrage.

ftfa:

Suspicion that Iran's newly revealed nuclear site was meant for military purposes was heightened by its location, at least partly inside a mountain and next to a military base.

i keep seeing this, so i figured i'd look around a little. the closest base i can find is in/near tehran, which looks to be 50-55 miles away. i'm probably missing one in qum, but i sure can't find it. either way, not exactly what i'd call next to a military base

When in the hell did the American Right Wing start siding with the French, who I believe they refer to as "cheese-eating surrender monkeys"?

SkinnyHead: Back in April, all of Europe adored him. Now Brown and Sarkozy can't stand him. Funny how adoration turns to contempt so quickly.

Lionel Mandrake: Back when not-Obama was President, "conservatives" couldn't stand Europeans. Funny how contempt turns to adoration so quickly.

This is really something special.

If Charles Krauthammer is so smart, how come he doesn't know how to walk?

Of course not. If you build a nuclear reactor that looks like a big yellow pin next to a military base, they're all going to laugh at you...

wildsnowllama		2009-10-03 09:07:26 PM

Precious Roy's Horse Dividers: And conservatives started caring about the opinion of France when....????

About the same time they started caring about the deficit...

Luckily, I can afford more than tinfoil good sir. It's called an education.

DarwiOdrade		2009-10-03 09:08:39 PM

ZackServo: I'm stating the honest facts

Hmmm. Let's look for facts.

ZackServo: and 20 years from now America will be a joke, thanks to all the same bullshiat thats going on in foreign and domestic affairs without any god damn change. Obama is just as bad as Bush, just as bad as Clinton, and just as bad as Bush Sr. America is going down the shiatter thanks to the failure of our ever expanding government, but disregard fact because you have HOPE am I right?

20 years from now = prognostication, not fact
bullshiat going on = generalization, not fact
just as bad as Bush, et. al = oversimplification, not fact
America going down shiatter = opinion (why do you hate America, btw)
you have hope = assumption, not fact

Did I miss anything?

culebra		2009-10-03 09:08:43 PM

ZackServo: I'm stating the honest facts as many, many people see it.

This is an incongruous statement. One doesn't state "facts" as "many people see it". That's an opinion. Perhaps the fact that you misunderstand this could encourage you to revisit some of your other "arguments".

Of course you won't. You sound as though you've lived a sheltered life, frankly.

If only there were some sort of historical example of the results of selling out the Chechs. You know, so we could try to guess what might happen later.

sadly, neither the tinfoil hot nor the education is doing any good. Was it an online university??

Perhaps when you can move past ad hominem to real logic we can have a civilized conversation. Until that day, move along troll.

Obama wants the US to stop acting (performing) like the N.Y.Yankees and become the Chicago Cubs of the world.

And what's not to like about such a humble LOSING team?

New users don't just come along and immediately start sounding exactly like every other "conservative" troll that have haunted these forums for years.
