You mean like:
-More guns will help resolve our nation's gun problem.
-Personal freedom is important unless it's something they don't like.
-Giving more money to billionaires will help improve your personal finances.
-Socialism is the worst, except for all the socialist policies we like (military, police, fire department, postal service, the highway system, etc)
-The last election was clearly stolen even though there is no evidence to support it
-Welfare is bullshit unless it is for a businesses
-The people that attacked the Capitol and tried to overturn the results of the election were patriots
-Capitalism is great but globalism is bad
-Little children should not be taught graduate school theories about institutional racism
-Freedom of religion is a core tenet, as long as it is one of the supported ones
Oh wait. Those are the ones that "Conservatives" try to push.
kevinmac_99 I'm really looking forward to your rebuttal. You probably have a sensible explanation for the bizarre positions I listed above and, as referenced by you, the liberals must have several more examples of their own. TIA.

Let me give rebuttal a try..........What you have is a conundrum
| Conundrum..... "A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one. You'll probably never need one again." The definition of the word Conundrum is: Something that is puzzling or confusing. Here are six Conundrums of Socialism in the United States of America: 1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized. 2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims. 3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government. 4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer. 5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other Countries only dream about. 6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about, yet they want America to be more like those other countries. 7. Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century. Makes you wonder who is doing the math. By the way..... 1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering... 2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't |
I've never read a news article about 20 children being parachuted to death in a school.
:shrug:
1. America is falling apart, yet we live better than anyone else on Earth.
2. Half the population has more money than they'll ever need, but they think they are victims.
3. They think they are victims, yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their representatives run the government, and triple their wealth, while convincing you the the poor people are the root of your troubles.
5. The rich keep getting richer, but they convince you the poor are out to get you.
Think about it! Sums up the Republican party in the 21st century!

The gun is like a parachute.....okay. Is that supposed to explain the position that more guns is the solution? We have more guns than people in this country and more people get killed by guns here than anywhere else on the planet. Your response is to tell us why it's good to have one.
My responses:
1. We're not dealing in absolutes. All three of those things can be true at the same time.
2. The majority of people on government assistance are poor whites. Is that who you're referring to?
3. Who? Seems like you are driving at a specific group. Sounds like rural Trump voters but I know that's not who you are targeting.
4. Who? Seems like you are driving at a specific group. Sounds like rural Trump voters but I know that's not who you are targeting.
5. Who? Seems like you are driving at a specific group. Sounds like rural Trump voters but I know that's not who you are targeting.
6. This one is bizarre. I think the first part is tied to 3,4 & 5 but the second part is people like me that envy their transit system. Examples?
7. I don't think this was supposed to be numbered.
Section 2
1. Who is encouraging you to judge all gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics? That's projection. Asking for reform isn't an indictment on every gun owner, it's asking for change in a system that is beyond broken.
2. I grew up hearing that it would run out of money but rarely hear that. Now I just hear about Republicans wanting to vote on cutting it. I would guess that food stamp spending is handled differently, in that it isn't a pension fund that they are borrowing against. I would also guess that it is a pittance in the government balance sheet. It's probably also considered a good thing for our "Christian Nation" to continue helping those in need and make it a priority. You just reminded me of one or two that I could add to my list.
Nothing above seems to have much to do with the Democratic party. It seems to be focused on a small minority of the country.
I got to question # 2 and quit. You are either incapable of logic or are led by the nose via liberal talking points. If these don't apply your knowingly subjecting forum members to misinformation.
Now MY question is which is it?????? Your answer will dictate whether I put you on the yyz list in the future.
How about all the facts and not political manipulation...
WELFARE PARTICIPATION RATES BY RACE AND ETHNIC GROUP

WELFARE PARTICIPATION RATES BY RACE AND ETHNIC GROUP
| Non-Hispanic White | 11.9 | 2.0 |
| Non-Hispanic Black | 49.7 | 20.2 |
| Hispanic | 36.2 | 7.3 |
You got to question 2 and quit. Since you read my response to #1, do you disagree? Can we be all three?
Let me know where I'm demonstrating an inability to be logical.
I think your posted statistics answered my questions on 3, 4, and 5.
