Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[c4a]

i ate and wore just about anything until a few years ago, when i was suddenly enlightened by "some things" happening in korea. the more aware i became of "some things" going on in the rest of the world having to do with animals, the more impossible it was for me to think about eating meat.

and yet, when i drive by the outback or smell bacon frying in the morning somewhere in the neighborhood, it brings back the memories. oh...and the patty melts!!! anyway, there are sufficient soy-imitating-meat products to keep me happy. and i wear my remaining leather items only until they wear out, and then replace with non-leather.

welcome, though. welcome, welcome, welcome.

Thank you.

Hi, everybody. So, is a conservative Independant welcome here or just the Republicans (I capitalize the word Republican every time.)

If not, I have just read 52 pages to find personal sanity. Needed it after the thread I have secretly renamed "Obama's Slamming Supporters"-the one about his "National Youth Movement". Some how it got into a discussion of gun rights (and we know how our POTUS, elect feels about guns & bibles... ). Since the poster did not list the "link" up & instead put the information in the quote...the Obama supporters decided it was inadmissable. No link to click on...therefore it was a conspiracy to discredit Obama.

Understand why I needed a sip of sanity?

Is our country really this gulliable?

If we had an "open arms" smilie, I'd be posting it! Welcome!!!

Trust me Marie, not even the people who have "lived here" from the beginning of this particular thread have read it all. It just moves too fast.

You read all 52 pages?! Wow, you must be good and well cleansed from your experience on the hope and change (and insult and attack) thread. Welcome home! I think you'll find that most folks here are self-identified as Conservatives, rather than Republicans, but come election time, well, we gotta go with the candidate who isn't a liberal, don't we?

Regarding the "link conspiracy," you'll find that whenever "those folks" are confronted with evidence, the usual response is to attack the evidence. When that fails, attack the poster. When that fails, bring up George Bush. When that fails, bring up Dick Cheney. When that fails, bring up Karl Rove. And when all of that fails, throw out there that GWB has been working all this time with Al Qaeda so he'd have something important to do in his presidency. After that, most just back out of the thread slowly, leaving them to their giant punchbowl of Kool-Aid. There will be NO dissent in Obamaland. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. It's gonna be a loooong 4 years, so welcome to the little island of reason.

We've seen that happen soooo many times. You can't reason with them. It's like pulling hen's teeth. Even glancing at the titles of their never-ending bashing threads makes me beat my head against the wall.

for all those online shoppers out there, i wanted to make sure y'all knew about ebates.com. you go to this site, then look for the vendor you want (target, nordstrom, amazon...whatev), and start shopping. your purchases are tracked, and you receive a check in the mail for some certain percent of your purchases. the rebate amount varies by vendor. in the three years since i registered, i have received over $600 in rebates. OH!!! the best thing is that the service is free!!!

the disney shopping site offers an 8% rebate.

Dang you, wonderlanne....when I had been doing so well, shopping-wise. Now I have an even more compelling reason to spend more money - ebates!

And count me in the online-shopping fan club - I have no use for malls unless they're virtual. Trying to find my car in a huge parking lot, after hours upon hours of walking, gives me a

Only 52%!!!

I have remind myself of this daily - I wonder if this is part of the OS fervor -- that they know H doesn't have a mandate - nah, that'd be too logical...

And don't forget our good buddy, that turkey executrix, Sarah Palin...because she's so stupid or evil , she's surely to blame for some sort of national malady.

Welcome CFA! Did they tell you about the six past additions of our thread? Don't worry... like others have said, we have all types of views here, but have many common goals.

 

[breezy1077]

Hi y'all! I'm checking in only for a few minutes. Hope y'all had safe and wonderful Thanksgivings.

Soooo, what'd I miss?

Hi ya Breezy!

Has anyone heard from AgentPleakley? I've been a little worried about her.

I'm a fan of Steven Curtis Chapman - he's a big name in the world of contemporary Christian music - more than the music, though, he really does act as a compelling role model of a Christian living out his faith even during tough times....

all that to say, he's written a song about GWB - "Good-bye, Mr President"

here's a link to it -- http://stevencurtischapman.com/

with the note:

Whether you voted for him & love him, or you’ve disagreed with all his policies and dislike him... Could we all agree on this? We owe President Bush a sincere thank you. As the historic Inauguration of President Elect Barack Obama approaches, StevenCurtisChapman.com pauses to thank our outgoing President for his service to our great country. This Thanksgiving weekend, we hope you’ll enjoy a new song by Steven written in President Bush’s honor.

After what's being going down around here the past few days, that's something to be pretty thankful for!
