on Arfcom?

Seriously, what's with all the recent "I love Unions", "Democrats love guns too", "Glad to hear Socialists are winning in South America" threads that have been here lately?

Is the site so big that we are now attracting flies to the light, or is it suddenly troll-a-palooza 2005?

Well, you've been registered here longer than I have but not many posts.  Lurk a lot?

If so you should know that things come and go around here.  We have our high tides of good times and we have our low tides where all that seems to be around is rotting carcasses stinking up the place.

Tide seems to be out now.

I can't figure out what's flushing this bunch out from under the rocks now.

Yeah, I've been here a while...mostly just have time to read, and usually only post when I have a gun-related question. Just noticed the threads recently and am hoping its not a trend.

Actually there's not ENOUGH leftists on this board.

How else are we supposed to hone our defenses and sharpen our ability to combat leftist idiocy than by constantly being challenged in our positions by leftist idiots here?

hone our defenses??? Thats like shooting fish in a barrel and saying you are improving your marksmanship!

The_Macallan... I have always admired your posts and level of intellect... You hit with FACTS and they hit with EMOTIONS and FEELINGS. I notice with arguments against liberals one of three things will happen.

1. They leave in a huff
2. They call you names

Or


3. The losing statement emerges from their lips "Lets just agree to disagree"


How far off the mark am I?

Theory why we are seeing so many leftists:

They weren't left enough for the DUmmies, so they were banned with a "well why don't you try arfcom you stupid moderate".

No problem at all ... I could really care less about being friends with narrow-minded extremists (whether those extremists are left or right is irrelevent) if the view is shared that anyone that falls in the gray area between extreme left or extreme right, is either a fascist or a commie respectively, go have fun with yourselves.

If people aren't welcome here that don't fit the extreme right ideal, please say so.

I like having variety here. Can you say "celebrate diversity"?

People who frequent this site have all sorts of opinions. Lots are republicans, but that is their problem.

I enjoy the conversations, construction of arguments, and the info you find here and almost nowhere else.

I've enjoyed shooting black rifles since the 1970s, and that is what brought me here, and what keeps me here. I don't really care much about "smacking down" liberals or anyone else, but I will call things the way I see them, popular or not. It is the American way.

When you try to stradle the fence, you get a point up your ass. When you stand in the middle of the street, you get hit by cars. Either pick a direction, or get the f*** out of the way.

Libtardedness is easy to spot, and the ones that somehow end up here were probably wavering in their views in the first place.

Theres plenty of diversity on Arfcom...that's why we have religion forums, North vs. South threads, etc, so don't give me crap about everyone here being in lockstep. It's about people on a gun forum vocally supporting anti-gun politicians and promoting anti-gun ideals.

Just ignore them if you don't want to smack them down.  There's no sense in getting upset about it - it's not your site and you have no control over who's allowed here.

"I thought this was a site about guns, not about being republican?"

It is about guns, so when people come here and promote anti-gun politicians you've just gotta wonder? It's like being a vegetarian cattle rancher, or a lactos intolerant dairy farmer, it just doesn't make sense.

Are all Democrats schizophrenic or just the ones on Arfcom?

i am not willing to compromise my beliefs.  i will vote for a republican if s/he shares the same views as me on all the issues i care about, but otherwise i will vote for the party which most represents my beliefs.  the only way a third party is ever going to gain prominence is if it has supporters, which will never happen if people keep choosing "bad" instead of "worse".

The thread title indicates a lack of tolerance for other viewpoints, and seems to advocate banning people who do not agree with a given set of political beliefs. Anti-gun ideals? Such as? Unions are now an anti-gun ideal? All Democrats are now automatically anti-gun? Socialists in South America are now mysteriously anti-gun?

There are those who enjoy having and using guns but whose priorities cause them to support the party that would take them away.

I have voted for democrats locally but not in national elections. The way that the Federal government is set up, to elect a democrat to national office is to empower the Kennedy/Schumer and west coast commie cartel.

Why would I have anything to do with that liberal Shit Heel? You automatically assume that because I'm not Conservative I'm Liberal? You do understanf that 90% of the country is somewhere between the extremes, and it's Left and Right wing extremists that have hijacked American politics to push their agendas.

Anyway, like I said earlier, I'm really not interested in being friends with extremists, and don't give half a shit what one would think of me anyway. So Merry Christmas, I wish you and yours the best.
