You did a fine job of completely misunderstanding me.
What I was saying is that the people presented to us as R or D aren't any different. There are absolute differences in Americans whose individual ideals reflect the R or the D, but the puppets(Obummer being one) aren't any different.
See, there is also an element on this forum that implies that any argument against the bullbubblegum being forced down our throats is "negative" and "combatant". Of course it is. What else would any argument be at it's core? I feel sorry for anyone that disagrees with me that isn't passionate enough to call me out. Not that you disagree, but that you could be so emasculated as to suggest we shouldn't even disagree any more.
Leftism is in fact a disease. Anyone that thinks my rights are on any bargaining table is in fact the enemy. Anyone with goals of the continued stripping of American values has no place in my world. "Tolerance" is still just another word for not having the fortitude to care about right or wrong anymore. I'll never stoop to that level.
But hey, you joined for talk of shooting sports and firearms. Why even spread your obvious Lefty views in the Legal/Political section? Anyone tired of people posting opinions in the opinion section should be angry at the existence of that section in the first place.
I don't recall saying any of that. Nor do I feel emasculated (just ask your buddy Taku down at the bottom there, he's always crying about me giving him bubblegum that he can't process). If you truly think that politicians on the Right have any more interest in preserving your rights than those on the Left, then you are an idiot, and your own worst enemy. And if you go around calling people diseased for expressing an opinion that doesn't meet with your own, then you're no better than the people you complain about.
As I recall it was Bush who introduced the Patriot Act in his first term, a huge abuse of our rights. He could have removed it in his second right? Then you blame the next guy for taking advantage of it! Of course they did, which government wouldn't!? Views like that are as narrow minded as it gets.
I'd like to know what makes my views obviously "lefty" though, as I guarantee that I'm more conservative than some of you. In fact you're outright beneath me, and I wouldn't let some of the trash on here water my lawn. I do believe in a balanced discussion though (which is what a political forum should really be about, rather than the exact opposite that you state in your response, AND the whole point of reply), and working toward the good of the people and the country, that also means parties working together to get anything done. This is something that appears to be beyond your train of thought, as does the fact that if you want your counterparts to take you seriously or listen to you then you have to listen in return, and do so without getting angry and resorting to name calling.
