    Well, i think I'd change your .sig to read 'neocon', since there are still some farmer types who call themselves republicans. Individuals who are really 'conservative' and so don't identify with the progressive politics of the Democrats and the left, but who don't realize that their party has been stolen by the big-corporation-handout government we've got today...


    Which is nonsense for a number of reasons.

    In the first place, those rural people are not "conservative" in any way shape or form. They are socialists of the worst sort. They live off of government subsidies and pay no income tax at all. Just take a look at how much tax money goes back into their states versus how much they pay into the pool. The fact that they are the worst sort of socialist and yet constantly screech their hatred of what they themselves are is deeply hypocritical, and further it shows their total contempt for integrity and their complete failure to take their responsibility to be informed citizens seriously.

    And if they don't realise after more then 30 years that their party was "stolen", then how can you possibly justify pretending that it isn't their fault? It's not like it's a big secret.

    Of course it's total insanity to even pretend that it was "stolen". Those people came out in record numbers to elect the current crop of traitors disgracing our country solely due to the fact that they hate faggots.

    After Bush's first term when he proved that he was exactly what every decent American who actually did their duty to be an informed citizen already knew he would be, they reelected him, giving their explicit approval of his cowardly treasonous actions and demonstrating their own cowardice and treason.
    So your argument is basically that they can't be held responsible for their own actively chosen actions because they're dumber than a bag of rocks?

    Maybe you should keep in mind that these are the same people who delight in executing actual retarded people and you'll see that that your argument wouldn't be taken seriously by the very people whose treason you are trying to excuse with it.

    So, no, there is no reason to limit my sig to "neocons" as *all* Republicans are neocons. If they weren't, then they wouldn't be Republicans.

    Sorry, but once you decide to actively support the torture and murder of innocent people, then you give up any right to be treated as a human being as you have willfully and with malice aforethought rejected the very concept of morality.

    The fact that so many of these monsters have the audacity to claim to be Christians while pissing all over Christian beliefs is just more proof of their total lack of any integrity or basic human decency.
