Libs too scared to debate here?

[danceswithdogs]

Seems the only "new members" to sign up never get around to posting except for spam ads. Looks like Libs are afraid to step into the waters of debate here. Maybe they are too cowardly to actually debate the issues?

It would be refreshing if a few Liberals/Dems/Independents would venture their opinions here and actually debate the issues and not run away the instant they find an opposing thought/opinion/fact.

This is not to say that I wish to see trouble making fools/trolls come here just so they can display their lack of civility......we have seen enough of that to last a lifetime. But, it would make things interesting to actually get some members to sign up that want to discuss the important issues of the day.

Dances, first of all, I am not a Republican... I was a registered Democrat for 37 years until the party swung all the way over to the left. The idea that Rep Thompson refers to himself as a Blue Dog Democrat is laughable. When push comes to shove, he will vote the way he is told to vote.

Pathetic, now that he represents us here in Santa Rosa.

If the Republicans are the Party of "No", the Democrats are the Party of "Lies".

In any discourse or argument, any lies and untruths automatically cause your argument to be false. Liars have no defense but to keep telling the lies over and over.

The Big Lie

All this was inspired by the principle--which is quite true within itself--that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.

Mien Kamph... 1925... Adolf Hitler

A quote mistakenly attributed to Joseph Goebbels, not Adolph Hitler...

“If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”

The Democrats, the Party of Lies...

I am not a Republican either, Ferrous. I am an Independent who thinks for herself and refused to swallow lies by either party.....and lord knows they are all guilty of that. The LIES told by this administration without even batting an eye is beyond the pale and it makes me wonder just how clueless the largest voting block (Democrats) really are. They are either blind, deaf or just out and out ignorant of current affairs. Those interviews of young people on the street or even on the campuses of "higher learning" say a lot.....they can't even answer the most basic of questions like "who is Nancy Pelosi,"...or what party holds the Senate/House.....or who Joe Biden is, what/where is Bengazi......" the list is long of simple questions they can't answer, yet they are quick to shout that they voted for Obama.

That is what scares the hell out of thinking people. The clueless masses that keep voting in the truly dangerous leaders.

Adolph 1925 Hitler

primitive simplicity of their minds

I love that quote...

That really does say a lot about the Democratic Party... Remember, the Liberals embrace all Anarchist's thoughts of morals while the Conservatives are bound by their Christian Morals.
