jj said:Tell you what, circuit slave, it's the liberals, the ones who have an education, who do science, etc, that keep this country running.
Do you really want us to leave?
I'm serious. Be careful how you answer the question.
DO YOU WANT THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KEEP THIS COUNTRY RUNNING TO LEAVE?
Yes or no.
You're a hostile witness, so just answer it.
Yes or no. Yes or no.
Your answer (I take Patrick as already having said "yes") is being recorded for posterity and taken into account.
As a liberal, having Bush in office is more of an incentive for me to stay rather than leave. It is my duty to remain here and do what I can to try and protect the rest of the world from the United States.circuit slave said:To answer your question, of course not. My point is not "leave if you are liberal or democrate or voted for Kerry" but if your one of those people who talking smack about leaving, then get the hell out.

I agree with you, except for the sarcasm.circuit slave said:Spoken like a true American. Must give you your props, Vorticity.

Jeeezuz...This post is a real jewel, from the beginning to the end! Quotable material 100%, congratulations!Liberals do science? Where the hell do you get that?? Liberals are the lawyers who prey off society like wolves. Liberals are government bureaucrats who live off peoples' taxes. Liberals are smug tenured university professors who discriminate against white males, but wouldn't think of applying "affirmative action" to their own job. Liberals are the scumbag feminazis, jesse jackson types, anti-globalist street rabble, leftwing grant recipients, who when you trace it down are always living at someone else's expense.
If this country got rid of liberals, the stock market would soar, and productivity would go up ten-fold. Like Barry Goldwater famously said, the whole country would be better off if a giant saw could be used to detach the country east of the hudson and just let it float out to sea - a quick look at the state-by-state electoral map shows he was exactly correct.

circuit slave said:I'm not being sarcastic. Take a stand, regardless what you believe in. Believe or not, I even personally liked Howard Dean. I thought he was totally and completely wrong on everything, but he was just like my president, and had conviction and honestly believed in what he was saying, regardless.

Exactly. All the states that went for Kerry, such as Claifornia, Washington, Minnesota, Michagan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, are characterized by laziness, poverty, ignorance, etc., while the Bush states, like Alabama, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Idaho, are the backbone of American science, industry, and wealth.Patrick said:Like Barry Goldwater famously said, the whole country would be better off if a giant saw could be used to detach the country east of the hudson and just let it float out to sea - a quick look at the state-by-state electoral map shows he was exactly correct.
Patrick said:You really do want to rid the country of anyone who supports freedom,
Bush is the one who overturned Saddam and is desperately trying to establish democracy in iraq, and you, an appeaser, dare to lecture me about freedom?? George Orwell is spinning in his grave!

TragicMonkey said:A very simplistic, and inaccurate view of the US. Take one of America's biggest industries, aerospace technology and manufacturing. Where is this stuff located? New York? California? Massachussetts? Nope. It's Kansas.
The US is not, and actually never really has been, divided into Rust Belts and Farm Belts and Bible Belts and Brain Belts. Industry, commerce, manufacturing, and universities are scattered around this country. Costs of living vary, and companies exploit that. I can assure you that you'll find plenty of very high tech, sophisticated institutions in Georgia and Virginia, just as many as California and New York.
Let's try to get past stereotypes, shall we? I'll stop assuming all people from Massachussetts are like Frasier Crane, and you stop assuming that all people from Oklahoma are like the Beverly Hillbillies.
