If you have enough free time to spend days or even weeks wearing the same smelly clothes, sleeping on the streets, and relieving yourself in public while protesting how unfair the world is (but only, of course, if you’re not schizophrenic).

Maybe you might try to understand what being a christain is, then you will know why there are liberals.

#1.1 DannyB on 12/18/11 at 07:52 AM

Please explain. I'm a follower of Christ and I'm somewhere between Libertarian and Republican. I'd hate for my vote to cause me to miss a crown to cast. And supposing you're a Christian and you don't want to have a public conversation about it, my email is dlblount at gmail.

#1.1.1 A-no-no on 12/18/11 at 07:54 PM

I am awstruck that someone of your great intelligence is somewhere between Lib. and Reb.. I would think that you would vote for the person who best stands for your position on the subject. It is ashamed that we have started voting party instead of individual.

#1.1.1.1 DannyB on 12/19/11 at 12:30 PM

That's why I said "somewhere between". I enjoy my own personal liberty, in that way I can choose to give my earnings to those who I see need it; without government administrative costs "skimmed" off the top - that way the person in need actually gets more. And, I'm not pretending to be all that intelligent, I just work hard. I like the way you flatter me to reposition your thought. It is a shame not that we vote along party lines, it is a shame that a working man has to give up 40% of his pay to cover the expenses of a governing body that could be run off 15%. That is the shame.

Now help me tie that back to my faith - which was the premise of my post.

#1.1.1.1.1 fat bass tard on 12/20/11 at 08:09 AM

actually danny, you only get to keep 40%. 39.75% to be exact.

Hi Danny,
I love you! Be careful, the best I can figure....A-no-no thinks they slipped on a cloud and fell from Heaven. He/She/HeShe/It knows absolutely everything about absolutely everything.

(But...keep this on the down low, you would be smarter in an Ambien trance than heshehesheit can ever imagine.)

#1.2 fat bass tard on 12/18/11 at 08:01 AM

please elaborate. i would like to understand exactly what you are saying before i respond.

#1.2.1 Laughing at You on 12/18/11 at 09:02 AM

ooh, I can't wait for your words of wisdom. Reading your tripe is always good for a laugh or two.

#1.2.1.1 fat bass tard on 12/19/11 at 07:38 AM

you must be another one of the many who are usually incorrect about every thought you have. i understand the jealousy. one day, you will have the opportunity to be right about something. as i've said before, one good way is to just agree with something i've said. that way you can be right once in your life.

#1.2.1.2 Sheila Tolley on 12/22/11 at 12:16 PM

You really should go into the newspaper's archive file and read some of fat bass tard's excellent educational and comical comments before you take the step of challenging him.

In this corner we have fat bass tard and in this corner we have Really Big Idiot!

#1.3 fat bass tard on 12/23/11 at 08:36 AM

well, since you didn't explain any further, i decided to take a stab at this anyway.

Christians are generally conservatives so that kills the "Christians are liberal" side of the argument.

Christians give more to charity than any other group so that ruins the "We need liberals because Christians are selfish" angle.

as far as i can tell, the only reason we need liberals is so that we have hypocrites that believe in freedom of speech unless you are a conservative, higher taxes unless you mean their taxes (by the way warren you can voluntarily give as much as you want), and a free ride unless of course you work for a living then they want you to pay all of your hard earned money to support them.

a lot to extrapolate from your statement but you didn't give me much to go on even after i requested clarification.

methinks he is saying the good doctor has lost the election and needs to go home and stay there. few people want or need his opinion!

#3 Laughing at You on 12/20/11 at 08:16 AM

What a way to go through life.... thinking you're perfect, that noone has the knowledge you think you have, and everyone else is inferior to your intelligence. Well, fues what, honcho. You're a very small fish in a very small pond. The Boss Hogg of Pike, without a title. And jealousy doesn't enter into it, pal. Only sympathy. Oh, and I am right about this... for once in my life.....LOL

#3.1 fat bass tard on 12/20/11 at 09:42 AM

i didn't say i was perfect i said you were stupid.

#3.1.1 Laughing at You on 12/21/11 at 09:04 AM

Once again, wrong on both counts!

#3.1.1.1 fat bass tard on 12/21/11 at 01:08 PM

no, i'm pretty sure that's what i said.

and you prove me right every time you post.

I think what he is saying is .... to follow Christ means giving without question or judgement, with both your heart and your hand. Writing a check does not quite fulfill the meaning of charity. There are so many ways to help people. I run a charity and work with many people in need, some of whom are trying to beat the system and most of whom have found themselves in horrible circumstances through no fault of their own. Compassion is a good place to start. Democrats are very often described as bleeding hearts because they want to help the underdog. Well, why not? Every one of us is one catastrophe away from being wiped out financially. An accident, an illness, a law suit etc.
Name calling is not Christian. Judgement is not Christian. Spreading rumors to get a reaction is not Christian. Turning your back on your neighbor because he thinks differently than you is not Christian. Christ would have done none of that.
I am not better than you nor you than me. It's time for all of this to stop. I have never seen such hatred as in this paper. If you claim to be a follower of Christ, live like He asked us to. You can voice your opinions without calling people stupid and you can certainly benefit from actually trying to understand the other side.

#4.1 fat bass tard on 01/03/12 at 06:34 AM

why is it that no one notices when folks call me names, only when i return the favor.

i know, i'm supposed to turn the other cheek.

#4.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 01/03/12 at 08:53 AM

Because intelligent people recognize your opinions, knowledge, and wit. So they read just your comment. The fool who catches it when you "return the favor" to them is most likely the only one that responds negatively to you. Under many names of coarse, any name but their own.

#5 HUH? on 01/03/12 at 09:09 AM

Not hard to figure out. You're a dipwad, an over-opinioned dipwad to boot.

#5.1 DannyB on 01/03/12 at 10:55 AM

Who's the dipwad? I'm not sure I get it; maybe that makes me a dipwad. I love the over-opinioned though LOL. Who's the dipwad again? HUH?

#5.1.1 fat bass tard on 01/03/12 at 05:41 PM

i don't know dannyb. i think the dipwad knows how to use the "reply" link though. it's easy for people like "Huh?" to call names. it's much more difficult for them to form a coherent train of thought.
