Bring On The Crazies: The GOP's Kooky Problem

[syntax]

Kooky Michelle Malkin, the "face" of the GOP? ​

Something doesn't look right with this "woman." Is she in this country legally? Can we see a copy of her birth certificate???

starved for attention i guess

i like ej dionne - have seen him on some cable news tv panels - seems smart enough and not overly partisan

as for republican extremists - both parties have extremists

but people like sean hannity and glenn beck and rush and michelle and ann are capitalists that thrive on controversy and on debating

i don't think Pres Obama is "white hating" - his rush to judgment re: the cambridge police/prof gates situation not withstanding

i do think he is governing too far to the left domestically - and allowing "extremists" like nancy pelosi to have too much of a say - luckily blue dog dems know better and are not head nodders

the republicans right now do not have any leadership - and i mean political leadership - there is no one person that is the moral compass - mccain is too old and not charismatic enough

that person is out there - but has not stepped up yet

the party has been branded effectively by the dems - as the party of intolerance

and they need a ronald reagan like personality to rise again

time will tell

Dr. Michael Shaw at the political photography site, BAGNewsNotes, wrote about Malkin:




One Sick Bitch.

have u ever listened to Jeanine Garofolo?

same deal

other side of the coin

very unhappy people

No, I don't think so. I heard Randy Rhodes once or twice, dontchaknow, and tought she was shrill -- menopause, maybe? But she can't possibly make shit up the way Malcontent Malkin does.

the think that makes MM scary is when she talks she tries to smile once in a while (guessing someone told her she should try it)

and it is so forced

i actually think she's smart enough

but comes across as not likeable at all

presentation is everything ...................... sometimes

No. "presentation is not everything" in this case, it is what she says and does that is a problem. Malkin should be the poster girl for conservatives. She makes no pretense to a philosophical or political difference with the Dems, she just gets down and dirty, with no pretense of legitimacy, just lying, cheating, stealing and trashing her opponents.

There really is no such thing as "conservatism" or a "Republican Philosophy", there is just the constant conservative guerilla warfare against anyone that tries to solve some of America's problems.

Conservatives have never done anything for America and there is nothing that they want to do for America, they are the real American degenerates, they lack ethics, principles, morals and even patriotism.


Thank God, Dems have stable, grounded, disciplined, well balanced, and anchored stalwarts like yourself, Admiral.

Her husband, Jesse Malkin:

How funny. He literally looks like a dick.

How funny. He literally looks like a dick.

For the record, my penis looks nothing like mr. malkin.


And I can never get it to wear a tie, you know? Sometimes I want us to go out somewhere nice, and it is all I can do to get him to put on a shirt with buttons instead of just a sweater.


Do I ask that much?

I know you won't believe this Alfie, but some of us Old School conservatives are sick about it too.

I for one believe that George W Bush was literally a traitor to the US, prosecutable in a court of law. Thanks god that administration is over with.

I saw that same Robert MacGuffie memo, and I agree 100% that those are Nazi brownshirt tactics. It makes me sick. I can only hope that they're really shooting themselves in the foot. I don't think the majority of Americans have a lot of patience for those kinds of tactics...the great many of them want to have a reasoned debate about important issues and there'll eventually be a strong backlash (we can only hope) against strong-arm, anti-democratic practices like that.

However, shrill name-calling such as you enjoy spewing (and which I absolutely I will be subjected to once again next post down) doesn't really endear me to liberals either.

The Democrats have, as you yourself are surely proof, plenty of kooks in their ranks as well. The difference right now, as far as I can tell, is the actual leadership of the party is fairly thoughful and well-reasoned. I may not agree with their reasoning or their agenda, but I can at least believe that Obama thinks about things twice and really tries to come up with an intelligent answer, which is a good thing.

My fear is that both parties are descending into opposing camps of knee-jerk name-calling gangs, whipped up by media/lobbyists/corporate interests who are laughing all the way to the bank while we watch our life savings and political process evaporate before our very eyes, too busy yelling at each other to get anything constructive done.

it makes me very sad.

That isn't remotely true. Just because you aren't aware of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You should also stop equating conservatism with republicans. They are not the same thing.

As for the second part; there's plenty of things conservatives have done. The one that most immediately comes to mind is forcing the nation to abandon slavery (Lincoln), preventing FDR from completely destroying checks and balances during the new deal, and generally preventing the country from moving either too far left or too far right during periods of upheaval.

Most conservatives are not the right wing loons that you, Alfie, and others paint us to be. We're moderates. We don't like too much government, we don't like too much spending. But, at the same time, we're willing to compromise if it is the best thing for the nation.

The majority of republicans in and out of congress are not conservatives. You're right, they don't have principles, but that's because they're not conservatives.

Lincoln wasn't a conservative. The idea of abolitionism at the time was the worst sort of left wing social experimentation. I doubt that Lincoln would have anything to do with what the Republican party has become.

The right wing loons have taken over the nomenclature of conservative. And if that bothers you, it behooves you to go have that argument with them.

 

[JB3]

No, you're comedians! Stop! My sides, they're splitting!

It's sort of like, "Why Jane, you wouldn't treat me this way if I weren't in a wheelchair."

"But ya are, Blanche, ya ARE in a wheelchair!"

Republicans =/= conservatives

Most republicans now are borderline moderates or reformed liberals. Conservatives would not (and did not) support the majority of the actions of the Bush administration and do not support many of the congressional republicans.

Behold the typical liberal reaction to truth...

Most conservatives are, in fact, libertarians.

Republicans =/= conservatives, despite what liberals would like to think.

Ridiculous statements deserve to be dismissed. You want to redefine conservative, go talk to the conservatives, who I think would take far more serious issue with you than I have.

What you actually are trying to do here, seems to me is distance yourself from the disaster of conservative government.

I know more conservatives than you do. I went to a conservative college, and I'd wager 90% of the faculty were libertarian (all readily admitting so), and at least 50% of the students were as well. The reaction by most faculty and most students to McCain was cool; they didn't like him, to be blunt. The biggest candidate was Ron Paul, who caucuses with the Republicans but would be closer to libertarian.

What angers conservatives more is the liberal reaction that you have so clumsily displayed; that somehow, being conservative means you are a republican, and vice versa. One is not a prerequisite for the other, and today, most republicans are not conservatives. Many are neo-cons, which are liberals economically and conservatives socially. (witness Bush and his administration)

Sweetie, I live in Texas and went to college at one of the most conservative institutions in country. What you're doing is a semantic trapeze act. You want "conservative" to mean only what you define it as in an attempt to distance yourself from all those conservatives who have proven to be corrupt and incompetent. It remains that in common usage, no matter how much you want it to be otherwise, the Republican party of Bush and Cheney and Palin is conservative .

Now I sympathize with wanting to get away from them, as well as Boehner and the others. But until you can change the accepted definition of conservative you're shit outta luck.

Except they're not. A neo-con is not a conservative by definition. They are 'reformed' liberals. (and indeed, if you look at some of the leading neo-cons ALL were former outspoken liberals)

Conservatives believe in everything that neo-cons do not. Even though you can't seem to grasp the difference (or choose not to), there is a difference.

Conservatives believe ... *SNIP*

Perhaps it would be useful if you would complete this sentence.

Then fellow posters can discuss and debate your conservative ideas with you.

There are no so blind as they who will not see.

You don't own a time machine, if you want to go back to the days of Goldwater, that's an argument YOU NEED TO BE HAVING WITH ALL THE OTHER CONSERVATIVES!
