normiss 896 #184 August 16, 2012 Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid. at least get it correct.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #188 August 16, 2012 You asked. I gave you two names. The first is an old school Republican who has spoken at length about the second. I'm sorry if you couldn't piece it together. That does, however, prove my point about the party change. Republicans used to be well educated and intellectually curious. Now, that is seen as something to be avoided.

quade 4 #190 August 16, 2012 Are you seriously attempting to say there isn't an anti-intellectual bias in the Republican Party today? The Republicans used to understand education was the cornerstone of progress, but now all they appear to want to do is cut funding for education. They used to be pro-science, but since Reagan made his alliance with the Christian Coalition, they actively denounce not just theoretical science, but established facts.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #200 August 16, 2012 QuoteMore incorrect assumptions of yours and others, that only religious Republicans are against gay marriage. I never said only religious Republicans were against gay marriage. Here are two statements, can you guess which one is closest to what I said: 1. All people against gay marriage are religious Repulicans. 2. All religious Republicans are against gay marriage. And here's a bonus statement: There are vanishingly small numbers of Republicans who favor gay marriage and are pro-choice. (Hint: the bonus statement is actually what I said.) - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
