As for mindless Bush bashing, I enjoy a good laugh but there is no need to flood the forum with new threads doing so.
The quality of motorcycle content was always better here. The quality of political debate was always better on STN. That's why the debate in P&R has improved dramatically in the last month. And that's what you really don't like, I believe -- the more rigorous standards.

I know every one of these people, from the literati to the morons. I can assure you that neither whining about them, nor baiting them, nor schoolyard taunts, nor bullying is going to influence them in any way.

Among the smart and confident ones though, you'll find that most will readily admit it when you've out debated them or well-proved your point.

IMO, the political debate is far better here.

And, Jim, I assure you, you don't know me. You would remember.

This coming from the Obama Osama group.
Sorry mate the ball is in your court, and inquiring minds are waiting for your rebuttal. But I'm guessing like a second grader who has just realized he has been wrong about something he holds near and dear to his heart you are just going to pack your stuff, stamp your feet and slam the door as you walk away screaming "You don't know what you are talking about, he is a good man he does speak to god!"

See here is the problem with you gopers, you play a flawed game. And when that flaw if found and exploited. In this case name calling and pointing out facts. You quickly cry fowl and demand the rules to be changed.

Rigorous standards?

Many of the regular posters here at SBN have mostly left the political threads.

Smug idiots think they "won" while the truth is closer to who wants to debate a pack of smug idiots.

Tell me Missus Obama, are they clinging to guns and religion in their absence?

I am not familiar with STN (I'm going to guess sport-touring.net), but I think I'm going to make a few phone calls and see if they can get these new guys back over there. I have good fun conversing with Jim and many others who don't see perfectly eye to eye with me all the time, but I might as well go to the kindergarden play ground to look for intelligent discussion at this point.

My guess is the next thread will be "Let's burn down the grocery store for raising their prices on banana's!"

I almost fell out of my chair when I read that too!!

I cant help wonder how anyone can think that these forums have taken a step in the right (oh no! I mean left!) direction. In the past month it has been taken over by the local elementary school.

Someone typing well and being articulate with their vocabulary does little when considering the content of the message. The cancer of blind ideology doesn't vanish if its misspelled, its definition is unkown to the poster, or other blind ideologs sing their praises. Its just more "singing to the choir".

Jim Schmidt's posts illustrate the cruel irony of the lefties who immigrated to sbn from that sewage pit, Stn....that is, they (lefties) actually believe in their intellectual superiority of us silly little fly over state righties. Seriously...they really do believe that.

I'm sorry, but wasn't it your boy who spoke to a "higher father" and wasn't it you gopers who ate that shit up and actually believed that your boy king did speak to this imaginary higher father that no one could see but you?
And weren't you the morons who thought that we would be in and out of Iraq in 6 months and that the war would pay for it self?
The list of your inaccurate predictions goes on and on. And now you are trying to imply you are smarter than us? Your track record isn't that good.

Well, if people left the PO section that is probably regretable. However, things change. For better, for worse, it's nature.

I know. No need to dive in any deeper. Doing so would be futile. Smugness/arrogance have no end.

Indeed! The current occupant of the White House is a classic example!

You know, you're right. I will agree with that to an extent. He hasn't explained his policy choices to the American public well at all.

Why should he?
He spoke to a higher father remember.
Thus no need for explanations nor accountability.
That and being of virgin birth and being gods other kid and what not.
