Where on the political spectrum do you lie? (Mods: Please don't move!)

[Amanda]

reaganyouth, you have just negated your entire argument about opposing abortion. After all your moral patronizing about protecting life, you now claim that "murder" is okay as long as its the children of liberals. Nothing the fringe right says surprises me anymore, but I would think you'd be bright enough not to be so transparently opportunistic about the abortion debate if you wanna keep rolling in the votes of people who are genuinely anti-abortion. You've made it abundantly clear that wiping your political opponents off the face of the Earth is of greater value to you than upholding any moral ideal of "protecting the unborn." My only question is how you expect anybody to take your position on abortion, or any other political issue for that matter, seriously after such bloodthirsty invective.

If liberals were to embrace your viewpoint, they would actually support war. After all, it's mostly conservatives enlisting for combat, so the more war, the more conservatives who will end up in bodybags, right? You'd never hear such an abomination out of the mouth of this liberal, or any other I've ever known, since I'm not that viciously, mindlessly, cartoonishly partisan. Given your take on the abortion issue pertaining to the children of your political opponents, it's clear that you can't say the same.

What kinda of cigars have you been smoking Amanda?

Sarge, unless someone has been tampering with them, I've been smoking the kind as everyone else....filled with tobacco.

First off, you obviously have no sense of humor. Secondly, the quote about never hearing a liberal wanting a conservative solider to die....you've obviously never been on a college campus in your life. The college I attend isn't that liberal, but I've heard some things come out of liberals' mouths regarding conservatives and soldiers that make me wonder if they are even human. Just wait till you are out in the real world.

I also really liked how you decided to debate my joke over how abortion and social security are related which was the point of the whole post anyways.

reaganyouth, ummmm, first of all, I am a college student so I'm on a college campus nine months a year. Not once have I heard a student wishing ill on American soldiers. Secondly, you've just established that you are also a college student meaning that neither one of us is in a position to cite life in "the real world."

Haha, I've been through and seen enough to make me feel like I'm 50.

I knew you were in college though, because I knew that first post about abortion and taxes was some thesis of one of your professors that they gave to you.

I feel as though I could say the same. But since we're both only 21, I can assure you that's not the case. There's still a great deal of personal growth both of us can expect to encounter in the years ahead, for better or for worse.

Ok, I'm over this abortion talk. I'm going to start a new thread.

Abortion is a VERY touchy subject indeed. It is certainly nothing to be taken lightly! I am a man, so I don't think I'm well qualified to make a valid moving statement one way or the other. I will tell you this though, as a new father. When you study in depth a baby's development in the womb, it strikes you pretty hard just how soon a fetus becomes a tangible human being. After a child is born it also quickly becomes apparent how precious children really are. I also don't know of any who have had abortions that don't regret it to some degree later in life, especially when they decide to start a family and have children. It's a decision that has a very good chance of haunting you the rest of your existance. Humor and wit are all good and fun, but please, in reality, don't ever take something like this lightly. Don't ever take birth control responsibility lightly either. Guys, this is the most control you have over pregnancy, so I suggest you use it. I know I wouldn't want an abortion on my conscience! As a man, you may find yourself forced into it because it's not your body carrying the baby!
