Oh.. dred.. how did your party go? did you tell your liberal friends who think you are a "right winger" that I thought you were a liberal socialist?
lazs
No its "friend" Even her liberal husband is right of her.
She is basically your polar opposite.
The arguments started within 5 min of my being there when I said.
"Hey Deb, You must be in our glory. Either a Black man or a woman is going to be in one of the top two offices (She is white but firmly believes blacks are still being oppressed But she is also a big time womans libber)
Her response was immediate and full of venom "Palin?? I HATE that )(@#*# Right wing BIOTCH!"
I was like"she's only been out for a few days. how much about her could you possibly know??"
Onward went the rant about the pictures of Palin with a gun, being anti abortion. etc etc.
Now in honesty I wasnt expecting a ringing endorsement. I figured she would have something negative to say about her simply because the right put her out there. But I wasnt expecting this either.
I truly believe that if Palin were standing there at that moment. she would have physically attacked her.
So onward went the day.
And I found myself arguing with her on subjects like
Guns- When I pointed out the fact that NJ has unconstitutionally some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation and the measures D.C. has taken to prevent people from legally owning guns in D.C in spite of the SC ruling. She said "Yea I know. I LOVE IT!"
The Economy.- Her opinion on How GREAT Clinton was and how the Economy has been terrible under Bush since 2000
The Iraq War, And the conduct of War in general.with her saying besides we shouldnt be there and wanting to just pull out. How we didnt support the troops financially and materially enough and my pointing out that nowhere in history has a commander received all he's wanted
The Republicans control of Congress.
The Democrats control of congress.
Taxing the rich. And he wholehearted support of it.Her statement of "Its not right that Dick Cheney should be allowed to get such a large tax refund." really had me laughing
The Oil Companies Record profits
The rather large argument we usually have over social programs
The funny part is when she said "I've known you for 16 years and I still I cant believe how far right you are"
And I laughed and said "thats funny. cause just this morning some guy called me a liberal weenie"
Her responce. And I quote exactly "What planet on what far away galaxy is he from? He must be really really out there"
Like I said. your polar opposite
Laz I suspect that if we compared issue for issue our views.
You and I would find much more to agree on then disagree on.
Thing is. if anyone disagrees with you on
almost any subject. no matter how much they agree with you on other subjects You label them as a Liberal socialist.
You then expand on that by insisting they have views on other subjects they never had.
I havent figured out your reasons for this other then perhaps it is a tactical maneuver on your part thinking that doing so will get people to change their minds.
Or that you are that hard headed that you believe that because they have one view on one subject. they must also have a particular view on another.
Like say, If you were to say Vanilla Ice cream is best and someone said Chocolate is better then that must also mean they dont like eating fish.
Entirely different opinions on entirely different subjects
Now I admit that some of my views are to the left of yours.
But I am nowhere even close to being near a liberal socialist.
From my vantage point. Both you. And her are off the charts to the right and left on alot of subjects.
Interestingly enough. the one subject her and I did agree on was illegal immigrants.
Though she stops just short of shooting them
