View Full Version : "Heal the Divisions" crap, part II

Time Magazine cites the existence of a group called "Let's Talk America" - the very name almost makes one toss one's cookies. It meets in peoples' living rooms and town halls where bipartisan "people can exchange ideas in a benevolent environment". This was in a whole issue of Time devoted to the liberal/left "heal the divisions" ploy. What happens in the meetings?
Liberal Fred: "Well, ya know I'm for stem cell research."
Conservative George: "Gosh Fred, you know there are some ethical issues there, and profound questions about what is a human life."
Liberal Fred: "Well gee George, ethical issues and profound questions are fine in college, but shouldn't be allowed to muddle real life situations."
I don't want divisions between myself and the left healed - I want the divisions advertised, clarified, focussed on, and strengthened.

The answer is NO, we can't!

The sooner the better! Incidentally, here's the red county/blue county break down:

Notice how much territitorially smaller the blue areas are when you break it down like that? Seems like the best solution when you realize that is that kerryites be put on busses and sent north, after which, the "cities" which they formerly infested, which are largely obsolete and basically political constructs, will be dismantled and used for garbage landfills - which when you think about it, would be a certain kind of historical preservation. :D

Got yer brown shirt back out of the wash, Mr America-love-it-or-leave-it, did you?
You need to take that time machine back to 1930, where you can be part of the real thing.

It was appeasers who made the "Jesusland" map, remember? And for left-wackos, with their suppression of free speech and religion, their love of state power, and their anti-religion bigotry to call others brownshirts is the height of chutzpah.

David Broder (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A46794-2004Nov12.html) probably knows as much about the "inside baseball" of Washington politics as any man alive, and makes this observation in today's Washington Post:
Bush won, but he will have to work within the system for whatever he gets. Checks and balances are still there. The nation does not face "another dark age," unless you consider politics, with all its trade-offs and bargaining, a black art.

Given that you have been shown to abuse the term "appeasers", to incorrectly label people "appeasers" when you do not even know their position on a subject, and that you have used the word "appeasers" in an attempt to create hatred for people who disagree with your extremist trolling, you are hereby required to show, beyond any question of doubt, that whoever created the map referenced above does, in fact, call for appeasement.
Show us the testable, verifiable, externally confirmable evidence immediately.
