Republican Sharia Law

[LDAHL]

That's different from saying, though, that the other side's position is definitively indecent, antisocial, and/or regressive. .

I don't see that it is. Either statement requires the same unfounded assumption of moral superiority. A flippant OP gets a flippant response, and it must be because the respondor is coming from a position of "reactionary preference" against what is clearly the "moral assertion". Being shocked and offended that someone would hold opposing views does not seem to me to be an adequate defense of the ethical high ground.

As I have expressed it, over that specific, other perspective. I have not expressed it as such over all other perspectives, which is what your original claim was.

I suppose, but I'm not the one "shocked and offended". If you recall, I'm the one "naive or arrogant".

Hey, as long as you have links dude, go for it!

He he!! Of course if cats ruled the world all us humans (and dogs too) would be under Sharia Law so it would more likely be "Kittens eating democrats...republicans give them integestion" :-)!

As for the articles - well I couldn't get the second one and I think Peggy et al knows my position on the "gun debate" so won't restate it here. However a barqua is a fine place for us womenfolk to hide several assult rifles under :-)!

This is why I am so fond of wearing the kilt - easy enough to stow a Sterling SMG under there.

I always wondered what men have on under those kilts

redfox, I do appreciate you watching our backs here, but I do honestly think Alan was just engaging in 'spirited banter'. To be truthful, he does sound a bit condescending in that post, but not really over the top. But, just wait for my answer, and I'll return in kind.

Hell hath frozen over!!! Peggy is defending Alan??!! Run for your lives before the rain of hot hail engulfs us all!!!

I also thought Alan was using spirited banter based on the title and content of the thread. But then, I always enjoy the spirited banter on "The Peggy and Alan Show" (theme songs and lyrics to the tune of the Ichy and Scratchy Show from the Simpsons). I enjoy tuning in every week ;-)!

For myself, as a democrat and a gun owner, I personally thought the first article was pretty out there and way off the mark. Certainly not what I have seen of both republicans or other gun owners. Maybe I just run with the wrong crowd :-)!

You are running with the right cloud and WHEN are you going to join us on the dark side? haha

Well maybe if you bring back McCain :-)! Him - if he gives me Universal healthcare, lets me keep my guns, pro gay marriage, anti-illegal immigration rights, pro military, anti war, pro business, smaller government, higher taxes for govmint social programs for impoverished people, tax write offs for business that create jobs in this country for citizens ...and on and on. She feignts to the right! Then, KerPOW, she feignts to the left - she's one rock-em sock-em robot. Or maybe just a confused blonde :-))!
