Conservative VS Liberal



Recommended Posts

Wake up people there are idiots on both sides of the spectrum. Am I a lib No do I hate them NO. I may not agree with there policies but I do not incite violence from either side or agree in it. I just find it funny how people try to have debates on issues and people in these threads try an act as if they are above the other side and yet call them Tea Baggers? Seriously can't we all be adults? So some of the Tea party members are idiots. But so are some dems and reps. Does that make them all bad people? Putting down a whole group because a few bad apples is just as bad as being racist.

I will do some additional research to find the picture of the old tea partier wearing the "Proud to be a Teabagger" button next to his "I love Jesus" key chain. If there were buttons, they were being sold. Someone had to order them. I posted it before. I'm not sure on what thread.

They brought on that name themselves and are now trying to backpedal. Sorry, the toothpaste is already out of the tube.

PG,

Did you post the attacks that occured at the Rethuglicans congress peoples homes? These are all public forum activities you post. Did anyone go to a congress persons home or did they primarily hit public forums with this garbage?

What's the difference? violence is violence no matter where it is performed. Stop trying to "lighten" what they did there. It was JUST as horrific.

But honestly, showing these photos above really doesn't in any reasonable way, excuse the behavior of the wackos exhibiting violence against the legislation, the legislators or the president, now does it?

No, it doesn't excuse it. And I never said it should. People who react to their anger in a violent way should be punished for their actions. My point was mostly toward you and cleo's because the 2 of you constantly group together the tea partiers with the violence of the few who can't behave themselves as if that's the mentality of ALL of them, and it's not! Just like I'm sure that the liberals who were violently protesting in the posts I posted do not represent ALL liberals in that party. Fair is fair.

Now, will everyone quit telling us to stop using that term? It's what they are proud to be.

patty I do not know Cleo's. We are not in cahoots. We post some of the same thoughts for a reason. And it isn't because we have some kind of conspiracy to make right wing extremists look stupid or crazy.

Just like on your side of the spectrum, there are people who say some of the same things you say. Doesn't mean you're in a conspiracy to further your agenda.

This was in the Rants and Raves section of our local newspaper on 03/22/2010 (yes 2010)

So does this mean I will be paying for all the Illegals and African/Americans who don't have insurance? What about me - who is going to pay for my insurance? This is the most worthless president we have ever had - Can't even prove where he was born. I think one way I will benefit is to denounce my citizenship and become an illegal - it's much better for them.

And tea bag demonstrators are lumped in together because they march and demonstrate together. The fact that the Republicans and Limbaugh and O'Reilly and Beck and others have helped to incite the tea bagging behavior and before all the criticism happened, they said the tea baggers were doing the right thing, is proof that they deserve to be lumped together. Just because all of a sudden they're saying people shouldn't be violent carries no weight with me. They incited this behavior and they LIKE it. Nobody in her right mind would excuse them for it at this point. And some of the major players in the Republican party endorsed the behavior of the tea baggers, the deathers, etc., also indicate that they deserve to be lumped in with them.

As for these pictures and claims that you've made about concrete being dropped on Republicans and all that is a mystery because we don't know anything about them - who they are and what organization backed them financially and encouraged them to do that is a mystery.

Just posting pictures isn't very impressive without data regarding the organization behind the demonstration.

Leigha the basic lack of knowledge and brain power of the individual who wrote that is stunning.

It also shows how ignorant people are about the illegal alien problem in our country. The Republicans got everyone all up in arms about it when they needed something to take the heat off another of their dirty deeds. At the time you would have thought that the problem just sprung up in the past couple of years.

Do you remember when a news organization sought out republican congressmen outside of congress and just asked them to say YES or NO if they believed Obama was born in the U.S.

Only one of about 10 would say yes. The rest ran away and wouldn't comment. My stupid congressman held himself up in the capital bookstore pretending to look at a book for 20 minutes. He finally had to write a letter to the editor of our paper explaining his bizzare behavior and after a long, rambling letter conceded that Pres. Obama was born in the U.S. In, other words, he had to do damage control. But say it on camera when he had the chance? Perish the thought!!

And these are the republican politicians that people want to elect more of? :)

PG,

I will ask yet again. Show me this level of violence on the liberal side. I stated earlier, this has gone beyond simple protest and calling people slurs. Wacko's have went to congress peoples homes and acted up. Whole nother mental ball park...........Not all tea baggers are crazy or racist, but it sure don't help its cause that rethuglican rule doesn't disavow themselves from it.

John McCain is the king of the tea baggers says Sarah Palin.

I bet McCain had to wear a diaper that day. Bout crapped his pants when she said it. Elbow from the sky!!

I just heard some head honcho teabagger "king" today say that they don't like mccain. He called mccain a liberal and RINO. He also said he doesn't want the republican party taking over the tea party, he wants the tea party taking over the republican party. Be my guest, is what I say.

The midterm elections are going to be interesting. The teabaggers want to take over the rethuglican party?? Lets hope not this election. I want a clear distinction between teabaggers, the rethuglicans and the Demos. They can do it later but we can only pray. It will be cold in that wilderness when the american people vote crazy. I also heard that the biggest mistake the rethugs made was they were not true to being fiscally conservative and not getting back to small core values. Those small core value people are the teabaggers, on the extreme right. If the rethugs want to continue to run to the extreme right, be my guest. That will leave more people in the center for us. Cause the independants darn sure aren't going to follow the teabaggers into anything. They darn sure aren't going to vote for them after the bogus crap happening to the congress people. Never side with the crazies or appearance of crazy. I think John mccain just made the biggest mistake of his life when he didn't tell Palin, the retard, not to hang the teabagger mantle around his neck. Politics just went to a whole nother level. Top row elbow.

Did you read my other post where I revealed that the teabagger blogger who encouraged the bricks through the windows sits at home and collects his government disability checks. Didn't someone on here post that we should look into those who get disability checks as a way of saving money?

I suggested that we start with john mccain who receives disability and then move on to this guy.

BTW, this guy's name is: Mike Vanderbeogh, 57.

I was absolutely floored when I heard about that. This yahoo gets "socialized" help from the government and has the nerve to be against the healthcare plan? WOW. Just goes to show retards will vote against their interest every time.

Just on a side note. Since he hates socialized help lets relieve him of his SS. Walk right into his bank and freeze his bank account with socialized funds, stop the checks if they are coming in the mail of socialized funds. Then lets see how far he'd be willing to take this fight.

People protested against the civil rights bill, medicaid and SS also when they came out and look how those turned out to be staples of this nation. Some of these yahoo don't even know whats in the bill. They have wastes of space like Beck, Haniity and Limbaugh to guide them with misleading info. It is sad that we have such ignorance. Doublely sad since there is the Intenet and other sources of news to hear the truth.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
