Some guy just posted a question asking "How do you clear a room full of Republicans".
I am very republican, but I would never post anything so idiotic just to make fun of the other side.
I am currently serving in the Marines, and I happen to be very offended by what this guy said. I can't put my finger on it. Does anybody else agree with me, whether you are liberal or conservative?
Oh, and by the way, joining the Marines was my choice. None of the recruiters came after me!

No, not all liberals are like that. Just the ones who are completely deviod of intelligence. I, myself, am a liberal and am disgusted by such filth. Though, to be fair, there are just as many stupid Republicans as there are Democrats. The fact that you would never post anything like that only stands to demonstrate your level of class, which seems to be hard to come by these days. Hope that helps, and thanks for your service!

First off I want to thank you for your service. As a Military Brat I understand what comes with military life.
To answer the rest:
There are idiots like that on both sides. It is a shame that this country has fallen to this. I am also Consrevative. Going to college in the great Liberal California I have seen the extremity of the Far Left. But that doesn't give anyone on the right to take the same actions.
I mean I definately disagree with the Left. But I am not going to lower my own standards.

All liberals aren't like that, but the same question/joke is a running one on both sides. Republican vs Democrat conversations used to be able to be respectful if not friendly. No one wants to agree to disagree anymore. It's all about the other person is wrong. It's sad, and maybe the trend can be turned around. I'm a Democrat and the only Republicans I can't be nice to are the ones that belittle me for being stupid just because I believe differently than they do. Polite conversation seems to be a dying art, at least in political circles.

You have to be somewhat understanding of the climate that has been created by the Republican Congress and the Bush Administration. They have incurred a huge deficit with "street punk" politics, they're responsible for the destruction of Iraq and the lives of over a hundred thousand Iraqis, not to mention almost 3000 US soldiers. They can't be criticized for anything without trying to attack and destroy those that simply point out the facts. They've been incompetent, arrogant and brutal in their foreign policy and negligent in domestic policy. It was the Republicans themselves who have brought this on with spin doctors like Rush Limbaugh and the Fox News channel, dividing our country and creating an atmosphere of hate.

I've been in the AF for 23 years. Last year I was in San Francisco (yep, the belly of the liberal beast!).
I was wearing a squadron t-shirt in public, and I'll admit I was looking for trouble.
Some long haired hippy came up to me and asked if I was in the service. I said I was.
He reached out, shook my hand, and said, "Thank you for serving our country." Could have knocked me over with a feather!!
Losers are everywhere. Don't worry about them.
And thanks for joining the Corps.

You know very damn well that there is some truth in that joke. Republicans as a whole tend to be financially better off, and thus less likely to be persuaded to join the military. Yes, there are people like you that will volunteer even though you don't need to, however there are many who see it as their only choice for a better life. That having been said, thank you for defending our country.

When it comes to offensive post like that, the Republicans out number the Democrats 5 to 1. Are you also offended by the rude post of Republicans?

Your a bit thin skinned. There are way more offensive posts than that all over the place here.

Not all liberals are like this. I'm not liberal by any means but most of my friends are and they are more pro america than you may think.

I have been here since March, and it gets much much worse...AI mean, I am offended that you actually think that over half of the american population (liberals) ALL think alike.
