Good New Book Coming Out for Conservatives..

[JoeChalupa]

This is a good book for conservatives and those like me who want to learn more about them.

It's My Party Too. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1594200408/qid=1106845345/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/103-4381717-6088662)

It's My Party, Too: The Battle for the Heart of the GOP and the Future of America
by Christine Todd Whitman

I'm going to get this and read it. I think this also applies to liberals.
Just as the democratic party has been taken over by the extreme-right, the republican party has been taken over by the far-right.

The terms "liberal" and "conservative" do not apply to true liberals and conservatives any more as far as I'm concerned.

Not every conservative is against pro-choice just like not every liberal is against over turning Roe vs Wade.

To democrats I say, "It's my party too!"...and we are taking it back!

Come out of that cocoon Joe. You're doing your darndest to justify remaining in the democratic party, but it's evident you're having a rough time of it.

Just come out of that cocoon Joe. Spread your wings.

[JoeChalupa]

What? Why would I go to a party that is way too the right?
I don't agree with the ban on gay marriage and I don't think one has to express their religious faith to be included.
I suggest you may want to come out of you shell and take back your republican party, unless of course you like where it is headed.
I'm a Jefferson and Kennedy liberal and I'm stickin' to it.

[exstatic]

Why suggest a book to them? They'll probably burn it.

[travis2]

No, we leave that to liberals storming bookstores and removing books they think are "politically incorrect".

[NeoConIV]

Why suggest a book to them? They'll probably burn it.
No, I'd read it, then sell it on Amazon, like I always do. Or return it to the library if I borrowed it.

[NeoConIV]

Quite right.

[violentkitten]

exlaxtic can read?

[JoeChalupa]

Quite wrong.

[travis2]

Sorry, Joe...but the number of book/literature burnings by "liberals" far outnumbers the number by "conservatives"...

Joe, I'm not saying I agree or disagree with this but I pose a question to you. How will you feel if one of your daughters tells you that she wants to marry another woman? Unless I have misjudged you, you ain't gonna like it. Is your feeling on this subject just for those other than yourself and yours?

[Guru of Nothing]

How will you feel if one of your daughters tells you that she wants to marry another woman?

Who pays for the wedding?

[travis2]

Who pays for the wedding?

:lmao

Now that's funny...

[exstatic]

Sorry, Joe...but the number of book/literature burnings by "liberals" far outnumbers the number by "conservatives"...
Based on what? Your guess or belief?

[violentkitten]

well liberals are good and conservatives are bad so the conservatives must burn more so goes exlaxtics crackhead reasoning

[travis2]

Neither. Look up incidents of students stealing newspapers, tearing down flyers, etc. on college campuses and correlate with the political leanings.

Now...what about your comment? Your guess or belief? Or were you just being a jerk to conservatives?

[JoeChalupa]

Sorry, Joe...but the number of book/literature burnings by "liberals" far outnumbers the number by "conservatives"...

Proof please. I've heard many conservatives burning books and Beatles records and now even burning SpongeBob DVD's!!

[travis2]

Proof please. I've heard many conservatives burning books and Beatles records and now even burning SpongeBob DVD's!!

See above...

And frankly I've never heard of any of those things...with the exception of Dixie Chicks CDs...which was a political statement against the statements made by the band against the President, not against the music.

[JoeChalupa]

Joe, I'm not saying I agree or disagree with this but I pose a question to you. How will you feel if one of your daughters tells you that she wants to marry another woman? Unless I have misjudged you, you ain't gonna like it. Is your feeling on this subject just for those other than yourself and yours?

My love for my daughters will not change because they want to be with a woman because the fact will remain...they will still by my daugthers.

And where did you get the idea that I have anything against gays?

And for the most part I am not going to like the fact that they are dating anybody at all, be it a man or a woman.

[JoeChalupa]

You really need to stop watching only FoxNews.

Conservatives have burned books far more than liberals.

[Hook Dem]

"And for the most part I am not going to like the fact that they are dating anybody at all, be it a man or a woman." ..........................I never said I got the idea you were against gays. It's this statement that made me say what I did.

[Hook Dem]

You really need to stop watching only FoxNews.

Conservatives have burned books far more than liberals.
In the movie "Day after Tomorrow", were those liberals or conservatives who were burning books? :lol

[travis2]

You really need to stop watching only FoxNews.

Conservatives have burned books far more than liberals.

You really need to stop watching only CNN.

I don't believe your statement any more than I believe exstatic's without evidence.

And BTW...none of my evidence was from FoxNews.

[Hook Dem]

So lets see now....liberals don't watch Fox and conservatives don't watch CNN. Absolutely shocking! :lol

[Samurai Jane]

I never liked the idea of bookburning from either side. If you don't agree, don't buy/borrow/read the book.

That's my humble opinion.

[violentkitten]

exlaxtics never set a foot on a college campus what would he know

[exstatic]

And frankly I've never heard of any of those things...

[violentkitten]

oh no were not the baddies you are the baddies

[travis2]

Put up or shut up, Mark.

I find it much more likely you would burn a book than I would.

[exstatic]

I did put up, or didn't you see the link? My challenge to you, Travis, is to find one instance where an organized liberal group got together to destroy, via burning or crushing or whatever, something they found offensive.

[violentkitten]

ooooooh yeah. cliff clavin done showed you

[violentkitten]

i will help you travis you are a good man

thanks

[violentkitten]

now exlaxtic will post something with "falwell", "neocons", and "rr" in it

[JoeChalupa]

I remember when conservatives had their book burning parties.

Clinton Bashing Book Burning (http://www.conservativetruth.org/article.php?id=1954)

And oh how those Harry Potter Books can be so evil!!

Another Harry Potter Book Burning by Conservaties (http://www.hpana.com/news.17092.html)

Shit happens from both sides.

[JoeChalupa]

thanks

I didn't see book burning on that link but I could be wrong.

[violentkitten]

uh think a little harder

[violentkitten]

whoa exlaxtic still hasnt caught up

[JoeChalupa]

Well, I proved my case that conservatives burn books too.


done.

[violentkitten]

lest we forget the earth liberation front

face it there are whackos on both sides and if you think the whackos are only on one side, well, perhaps you are one too

[travis2]

OK, Joe...both sides do it.

Mark, what you said was no better than saying "Catholics drink the blood of Jews" or "Jews want to rule the world" or some such tripe.

I've called you out before...you seem to think it's OK for you to be bigoted because you're a liberal. Well, it's not. Bigots are bigots, period. And right now, you're wearing the stripes of one.

[Samurai Jane]

All these cases cited were situations involving small minorities on each side. There are always a few bad apples. Ex, we are not all like these groups. Next time, maybe you should pick up a thinner brush. ;)

[JoeChalupa]

I concur.

[Guru of Nothing]

I don't need no stinking books.

[sbsquared]

Correct me if I'm wrong - but I think the difference here is that conservatives burn THEIR OWN books, dvd's and cd's. They don't go around taking them from other people or forcing others to follow suit. Also, they aren't out tearing down posters from public places just because they don't agree with them.

If I find something offensive, I have every right to dispose of it - even if it means getting together with a group of like-minded individuals and burning said items.

First paragraph...that's exactly the case. Nevertheless, I think anyone who burns books is vile.

Second paragraph...:wtf

[exstatic]

Mark, what you said was no better than saying "Catholics drink the blood of Jews"
Well, actually, they do drink the blood of one particular Jew...

[NeoConIV]

Well, actually, they do drink the blood of one particular Jew...
By His own command, of course.

[mrblonde17]

I want to know what books have been banned (burned) by liberals. An example was given of students tearing down flyers and such; that's more of an isolated incident with little or no effect. Banning books is much different. What are these books?
