Has ATS become A Right Wing Side Show!?!?

reply to post by contemplator

That is your opinion but that doesn't make it true

I can't really answer the question objectively, because I am so confused and saddened by the hatred and vitriol I see here (and in the MSM) sometimes. A loud, obnoxious, hateful comment or thread will have more impact and hold more weight in my memory than a peaceful, quieter thread or comment.

It SEEMS like there's a lot of right-wing hatred being splashed around here, but it almost always seems like that to me. I don't trust my perception on that. It SEEMS that many (not all) anti-Obama people are full of frustration, anger and hatred and want to hurt and belittle people of different ideologies.

I'd like to run an experiment for a month where two people from fairly neutral political ideologies "gauge" every new thread and every response on a 0-10 scale to see how accurate or inaccurate my perceptions are. I think the results might be interesting.

I applaud you for posting this thread, joker. I am sick of the right-wing nutjobs acting like its the dems fault that every single horrible thing in the world (i.e. swine flu, HIV/AIDS, etc.), and that Obama is the Hitler of the dems.

the repubs think that they are the people who know everything and have a plan to fix everything that "the democrats messed up." their eyes are blind to their own folly. Take Rush Limbaugh for example. I heard he lost 90 pounds recently. It must be really hard to eat when your mouths on the republican party's ass.

also, on your entirely true observation that repubs basically quote one another on ideas, their minds are so clouded on topics. Their opinions are based on what they THINK will happen to them, not what is true.

sorry that this seems like I'm ranting, I'm just making a point.

I made accusations in order to get the truth so far many posters here are proving me correct. Some although are giving me what I wanted and thats a respectable debate.

I said I love my country and hope that good will come out of it, instead of the people the hate it first and hope for it to fail. Which of those catergories you fall in is up to you maybe neither. I've stated it more then once because people can't seem to read previous posts to get my input. Also if you'd look back through the threads other posters have already brought that point up. So what exactly are you doing other then stating something that has already been said. You didn't offer much of anything for a point of view, you just critisized. I'm no sheeple but I do stand by my government because guess what to the rest of the world your an american and if the SHTF you'll still be labeled an american regardless of what you think of the government. If revolution is what it comes down too I want to make god damned sure thats the course of action to take, other then the 'SHEEPLE' that just want to jump the gun. Better answer for you?

As many here have pointed out the line between the two sides is very thin because corruption invades all levels. I'm very much and american, very much for this country and very much for what the government is trying to do, if it "could" make things better. I'm no sheeple if liberties are stripped I'll be the first with the pitch fork but most likely many of the democratic ideals won't change a thing and may just possible make things easier for ALL americans. Your definition although of conservative to right-wing is nearly spot on in my book, right-wing almost seems evangelical in my eyes.

Double-standards all over the place.

Thanks for the support, and I seem to be spot on with the 90/10 ratio of agree to disagree, we seem to be the minority. Never thought I'd be able to say that about myself.

I've been here since 06 on another account, same problem but I think your correct since 02 I believe.

Ya I stopped on your first sentence read my other posts before responding this thread is much further along then the original post and clearly you missed the point. ... MAssa

People here call me a robot you sure I'm not made of metal, I'll kill that brick wall.

reply to post by mattifikation


I'm on neither but yes your correct, my point here is that the right is more prodominant.

reply to post by muzzleflash


Your the 50th person to state that fact, read through the replies before you just add more ammo to my arsenal. Yep I think we're right on with that 90/10.

reply to post by lucid eyes


And your agenda is professionalism correct???? That could seem quite narrow as well.

reply to post by symmetricAvenger


And you pay your bills to apparently type on the internet. Is that any less meaningless. By the way if you aren't for anything then why are you here?

reply to post by Shades1035


Exactly another part of my problem with the idealism here today. People seem to miss the point.

reply to post by HunkaHunka


Thanks hunkahunka clearly people are opposed to my way of thinking because they're angry I brought it up. But happily they are proving my point of the 90/10 ratio. Keep on with the hate.

I was for Bush as stated previously, and bashed the people who labeled hima nazi among other things. Please read through the other posts before posting the same dribble as 50 others.

reply to post by orangetom1999


I stopped at your premise is laughable, thats the problem with your side of the arguement everything is laughable. You wonder why people get angry because you can't have a debate without people being childish. Nothing to do with the running of my country should be considered laughable. You sir are clearly immature and need to grow up, hows that for laughable.
