Dissenting views? It would be a pretty boring conversation otherwise.

This is precisely why I call you stupid.

All this started because you can't decipher a joke.

I approve this message.

This goes way back, you called one of us an idiot when we asked a question about hollow point bullets.
We've never had a gun in our hands, never even got close to one.
NYC is not gun friendly so we really don't bring up guns unless it's someone who involved with guns illegally, I notice the ones who own legal guns are quiet about it.

So I asked a simple question and he called us idiots...I let it go, tells me to stop posting certain topics..kiss my ass.

Not the first time you called me an idiot, only my freinds can do that.

Willbrink, Bio, DG and even Clemson answered my question in a respectful way.

I do have a short fuse & take this stuff too seriously sometimes too.. I need to work on that

It's understandable to lose one's temper during a discussion but to start calling people idiot, stupid blah blah...you don't do that do you?

You know who I have never seen lose it Bio...he's been through hell with his religion and he seems to keep his cool.

I don't think I resort to name calling, but all liberals are pretty dumb

I wasn't trying to bash you with that post but sometimes you come off as if you're 100% right and others are 100% wrong, and in an opinion based argument, you can't definitively say that either side is 100% right or wrong.

I wouldn't say you've got a short fuse. Just a little judgemental...But we can all be that way at times...i guess.

Yeah, Bio gave me a little crap when i first got here!...but he's a pretty cool cat...

I agree, but I'd say I'm about right about 99% of the time.

Biochem is a rare person of high integrity. He is the type of person that the majority of the far right pretend to be, but fails in almost all aspects.

I'm more impressed with this guy everytime I read/hear what he says.

Part of me is glad McCain didn't get elected, because he would further destroy the Republican brand ala George W. Bush. Neither are conservatives.

How exactly is he a fake?

1) His question of Obama caused Obama to state he thinks government redistribution of wealth is a good thing (this is confirmed by the radio interview about "economic justice" and how the supreme court failed to break from the boundaries of the Constitution.

2) He campaigned for McCain.

3) After the election, says he didn't care for McCain much, but thought Obama was much worse. Classic "Lesser of two evils"


Number 3 is shared by probably 3/4's of Republicans and 100% of conservatives who voted for McCain, myself included.

I don't think he is a hero, nor can I understand how you would say I think so.

That said, I'd take him over McCain, Obama, and Bush as Prsident..

I think you finally lost your marbles.

I know it's friday night....a little booze some wine.....maybe you'll sober up, the sober Brogers I know is far smarter than this.

Do you honestly think he could do worse? Do you think "John Q Taxpayer" would fork over $1,000,000,000,000 to prop up failing business? I wouldn't. I don't think you would. I don't think 80% of people on this message board would.

I'm honestly disgusted at how this man has been demonized/attacked. Obama came to his neighborhood. He didn't go to some rally. It wasn't his question, but Obama's ridiculous and frightening answer that made him famous. He had government workers sifting through his private information and disclosing it to the press. He was attacked personally by many of Obama supporters. He didn't seek out the limelight.

All of the crap he endured was because he asked a question that made Obama look bad. Disgusting.



Pay attention to the perspective on social security, immigration, and poverty. I would absolutely take him over the two choices this past election and the current President.
