Wanted: The Star is looking for six new reader advisers

you guys are back in elementary if you are defending flop's lack of an answer to a simple question that you global warming, oops, did it again, CLIMATE CHANGE, libs should have a ready answer. You obviously don't have the balls to say, yes, our plan is unworkable because there is not an "acceptable" lib option to coal. So, we little libs will just try and pass the bill, ruin the remaining American manufacturing, then bitch that companies are moving from America.

You both lack the courage to say what we all know. Twas merely asked flop to admit it, and flop, being a good little lib, will not.

Most disengenuous of you flop... be a man!!

Oh well.

Is posting on an anonymous discussion board the same thing as "talking"?

He announces he is done talking to you by talking to you.

It's like being in 6th grade again.

That was odd. I was responding to chazzy and you pipe up to declare that you're "done talking to me."

Is chazzykc another one of your alter egos? Just how many do you have?

Don't worry -- I won't make you answer. ;-)

I don't take being called a liberal as an insult--I'm proud to be called that. But not being an Obama follower, I'm not allowed in the club anymore. I wouldn't want to be lumped in with "the left" these days anyway. Never would I have thought t-shirts with "bros before hos" or "Palin is a c**t" would be acceptable from a group that at one time stood for civil and women's rights.

Reading Barb's post on Bob McNamara takes me back to a time where being liberal stood for a lot more than it does today.

until you answer my question. You keep acting like you have - and you haven't.

You wouldn't let me get away with the same thing, so I'll just wait.

Nope. No distortion in the statement that the strong majority in our country do not identify themselves as conservative.

Liberals MUST be the majority because anyone who disagrees with any conservative point in this blog is automatically labeled as a left wing liberal.

Reality is that there are degrees of everything. If I was answering a poll, I'd identify myself as "conservative" based on desire for balanced budget amendment, support for 2nd Amendment rights, opposition to expansion of welfare programs, and keeping international borders closed. Also based on support for individual liberties (as in women's right to choose what to do with their own bodies) and support for the institution of marriage (by allowing gays to marry). You don't like the way I characterize myself -- too bad.

The vast majority of Americans support a wide range of positions, some "liberal" and some "conservative." However, since the term "liberal" is routinely used in these blogs as an insult, it's hardly surprising that most people taking moderate positions would avoid identifying themselves as "liberals".

Unless you're contending that liberals should be lumped with conservatives. Had he said that America was primarily moderate and liberal, are you saying that would be a WEAKER statement than saying "moderate"?

Incidentally, the "shallow majority" elected the current President, by a considerably larger margin than that enjoyed by his predecessor.
