It's an anonymous forum. So, why are the right-fringe GBers so scared?

If that's true: why are you posting here?

I never figured why anyone posts on a porn site solely for political discussion, though I have a theory that those who do so don't get enough attention on actual political boards.

And I do use the term 'discussion' loosely. Hurling insults and ignoring valid points by those with whom one disagrees is hardly a 'discussion'.

Exqui (may I call you "Exqui"?), I used to accept the aphorism that "people get more conservative as they get older".

Turns out, though, that reserach has shown that to be simply not true:
Busting Myth, People Turn More Liberal With Age

I will agree that a substantial amount of older folks here seem very afraid of the future, and it gives them comfort to regurgitate the fear and situational outrage they hear on hate radio.

They still love their government check each month, though.

Interesting article & large sample population.

Did this catch your eye? :

"While the surveys did not provide data for the same individuals at different stages, they represented snapshots of the changing attitudes of respondents in different age cohorts over time"

So this wasn't a survey that sampled individuals' relative liberal/conservative leanings over time.

My gut feel is that people prefer stability, status quo, comfort zones and tend towards religion the crustier they get.

Agreed.
 
In my life I have had the "normal" life (i.e., school, marriage, kids, etc) ...only to have my life turned upside down.

No surprise that I have a strong faith as it only grew stronger during those hard times.

Being a conservative is what I feel most in line with. Even though I really think most that are non-conservative are mislead as to what conservatism truly is, I do think the those who are liberals are not all that they are shown to be either.

I think most are much more middle than extreme and I really think that there is more common ground on both sides that people (political people) would care to know.

Yeah, but you're an idiot so nobody gives a shit what you think.

The thing that I don't understand, is how they can all be such "rugged individuals", yet all sound exactly the same all the time.

They're all interchangeable, with maybe one or two notable exceptions.

That's what I think, too.

But that makes you a moderate.
 
I tend to be liberal on economic and environmental issues, and conservative to reactionary on social issues.

I believe that genes are more important than any other factor in determining not only ability levels, but also character and personality.

Because I believe in the primacy of genes, I believe that racial differences in intelligence, sexual responsibility and crime are largely genetic.

Although there is little that can be done to improve academic performance, crime and sexual behavior can vary significantly from one generation to another. Nevertheless, if crime goes up or down, it will still be the case that some races will have higher crime rates than others. The same is true for illegitimacy.

I consider myself to be a genetic determinist, rather than a racist, and a social democrat rather than a socialist. I will not deny being a racist or a socialist. I will just patiently explain what I do believe and say, "If by your definition that makes me a racist (or a socialist) that is what I am by your definition." Definitions of words are changeable conventions rather than unchanging facts.

Joe the Plumber was on welfare for awhile.

What happened to Joe, anyway? The last I heard he was scheduled to lecture to Republican Senators on some esoteric aspect of economics.

Republican politicians love to be faux egalitarians.

Same reason they talk out their ass about liberty and then want to ban gay marriage, porn and video games. They are full of shit....

You are so fucking stupid that it hurts. I am a half-breed, but you're the one focused like a laser on race, especially the white man.

I am an Atheist but you are the one with fanatical beliefs, like all white men that refuse the Democrat line of Socialist LIberalism are racist by default.

As far as limited government goes and the Constitution and the Founding, it is not we that hold radical views.

You are, on a daily basis, your own overwhelming evidence, of being a closet Communist who would gladly offer up purges and pogroms to anyone outside of your Socialist Cubic Borg.

Liberal is just a dog whistle for collective salvation and the philosophy of self-sacrifice.

Liberal actually means Life, Liberty and Property, that Capitalism which the Dog Whisperers eschew with such loathing hatred, usually out of a sense of impotent rage that the world has not found them individually important and awarded the sort of "brilliance" that Rory so loves to put on display.

Even as he demands absolute equality of outcome, he still manages to see himself as just a little bit above the great unwashed equality, a secret conceit held by all members of the Equal Outcome Country Club...

FWIW, the right doesn't have the monopoly on fear or bigotry on Lit.

Miles is working tirelessly to post personal information about people who disagree with him politically, but for the most part this place is not too shabby when it comes to restricting the posting of personal information.

I admitted it in the very post you quoted.

Kindly back this up with evidence.

Because I can back up a counter-argument. With evidence.
