Being a Conservative on the Liberal Internet

from JoeUser Forums

Every day I visit tons of website, forums, and social networks for all types of topics, most of which are technology based in some sort of form.  This election cycle has really brought out the best of the liberal “group think” mentality regarding Obama.  On just about every social network Obama is praised as “the one” and any hint of disagreement with his policies or ideals is immediately responded with accusations of racism, or just plain insults.  Anybody who wants to claim that liberals are tolerant to others, please give me a shout because I can quickly debunk that.  Even here on our network of sites, there have been insults tossed at the slightest hint of either supporting McCain, or being against Obama.  I’m certainly not saying conservatives don’t dish out their fair share, but the mentality of liberals has once again bordered on the insane and hateful.

It’s tough being a proud conservative, as I will say what I think regardless of what the group and mob mentality is.  The real shame is so many people, especially bloggers in the tech area, are afraid to do the same.  I have received so many private notes and comments in support of standing up for conservatism, it’s almost crazy.  The best comparison I can make is how conservative actors in Hollywood are often ridiculed or turned down for roles because of their conservative beliefs, and the same mentality is going on right now in the blogosphere.  Conservative bloggers, some of which can be considered A-list are having to remain silent about their thoughts on Obama and McCain, simply because they are afraid of retribution from their employers or just not being able to pickup work from other sites.  It’s a shame, and it’s more telling about liberals than it is anything.

I am a conservative, I don’t like Obama, and I will never let anyone intimidate me because of that.

They stole the race in 2000, dumbfounded the average American in 2004 with "Al Qaeda is coming one if by hook and two if by crook" and now the rent has come due. Now the RNC is finally gonna have to pay.

Hardly rubbish (if you bother to read), and who do you suppose?  Right-wingers have warned of a new Civil War if BO loses?  That there will be blood in the streets?

vStyler you have me all wrong.  What I think is so laughable is how you all insist there's such ominous and foreboding consequences for America if Obama is elected.  People have been taking whatever events have occurred and insisting they be interpreted as the worst kind of foulness imaginable. 

Ayers and Obama what does it all mean?  This must make Obama a terrorist??? Doesn't it?  The mere fact they came in some minor tangential contact is all the proof some people believe is required.  So what's there to debate?  I don't know how ID will ever top is genocidal dictator label he wants to slap on Obama now??

Lets face it... you dont know what will happen either.. you dont really KNOW Obama...no one does.

We are merely pointing out past behaviour that is FAR from positive.. influences in his life..that I'd never have in mine.

You choose to minimize it, as Obama does.. we do not.

Gonna be interesting to see how it pans out if he gets in... If I am wrong I'll say it.

As far as I can see , you are very naive, that or smitten. |-)

The only thing I've seen on the main stream news is go vote and news on how tight the election might be.  I watched all the major Sunday morning broadcasts.  I've read my local newspapers.  I've read and or watched AP, Reuters, ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN and have been doing this for a few years now and I have no idea what your talking about Daiwa.  But I'm sure, whatever it is, its the Holy Grail to you.

Nope.  He has you pegged.  Rather than address questions in a straightforward and honest way, you resort to condescension & minimizing.  We may be about to elect the Minimizer in Chief and his Cabinet of Ostriches.  I hope you are correct that 'we have nothing to worry about,' but BO & people like you are doing nothing to reassure me that is the case.

Why do I have to reassure you?  You'll see whatever you want to see.  You will believe whatever you want to believe.  Why place the onus of your beliefs on me?

Sorry, but nothing was stole in 2000.

Um....the problem is they had more than "minor" contact.  Ayers and Obama relationship goes much deeper and 0bama lied about it, that is another fact.

Look at 0bama's background, and then look at how he has obtained power so quick.

I think the Kenyan 'association' is overblown.  I don't believe Obama was 'close' to Odinga or knew anything about the MOU he allegedly had with Muslim elements. 

Reply #640 from Stardock Forums Top

Your links try to debunk Corsi, but there are other relations between Odinga and Obama aside from that.

You don't & I didn't ask you to.  Typical juvenile response, sounds exactly my like kids when they were 15.

You complained to me with this.

I responded with Why do I have to reassure you?  To which you then act insulted just because I point out your own neurotic confused thought about needing to be reassured isn't my responsibility with the following.

To which I will once again point out the obvious.

Again your nonsense version of things.  Exactly why I said I don't care what you think.

Is this a glimpse of what your party is bringing to the future?

Sigh v_v

Reply #644 from JoeUser Forums Top

You have a serious reading comprehension problem, BigDog.  I didn't ask you to do anything, or say that you have to do anything - it's observation of what you've chosen to do that fails to reassure me.  You claim, by supporting it, to be part of the great unification movement embodied (according to his own words) in the candidacy of The One.  He wants 'change' that 'brings us together' as a nation.  I've seen nothing in any of your postings to suggest you're interested in any such thing.

Personal attacks being both unnecessary & a violation of the TOU, I'll just say, 'You go have your fun, now.'

More melodramatics hey Daiwa.  More mountains out of mole hills. More blah blah from you that's for sure.

Did you read it?  The first link states:

What we can confirm is that Obama has remained neutral in Kenyan politics, and did not support Odinga during his trip. Odinga attended some of Obama's events while Obama was in Kenya, and clearly wanted to associate himself with Obama, but there is no evidence to indicate that Obama "openly supported" Odinga.

and

Corsi states that Obama "openly supported" Raila Odinga. We found public statements from Obama during the trip saying the exact opposite. We found no other evidence to support Corsi's statement, so we rate his statement False.

Just because the same party made the document doesn't make it objective.  They were still competing with each other.  I consider this document biased and refuse to read it ;)

Good work TheMasterBaron.  Island D said it couldn't be refuted and you did it.

On another note there is a right wing pac that's been advertising against democrats here in my home state that has produced ads that are so blatantly false and misleading a judge issued an injunction against one of their ads that was separately upheld(the injunction).  Talk about baring no responsiblity for the information one communicates.  I guess they found out there really is a limit to how many lies you can put into a political advertisement.
