    Attention Liberals, you're now thoroughly entrenched as the Minority Party in the US Political Sphere. Learn to live with it, Republicans had to for about 40 consecutive years in the 20th Century, and we weren't talking about secession and cursing our more numerous opponents.

    Sorry, the moaning and groaning around here is starting to get to me.

    Its amazing how the Democrats see a 51-49 loss as a puddle whereas the Republicans see that same margin as the Mississippi.

    Agreed! The liberal carping about sour grapes is too much and becoming unpatriotic! Everyone get in line and support our President!

    I love Ann Coulter. Liberal states subsidize red states with taxes, because we pay more of them per capita.

    Comment on the Coulter quote:

    I'd wager good money that the "liberals" around here on average make more money than the "conservatives" do. Apart from Nutmeg, I can't think of a single one of them that seems even educated. The "tax" argument is so ridiculous. <---- look, I know how to spell the word.

    He is Right. We are all a bunch of poor, uneducated, supersticious idiots who cannot even spell, and we should allow ourselves to be ruled by our smarter, wiser, superior brethren like chad. People like chad know what is good for us better than we do.

    What were the founding fathers thinking when they allowed our vote to count? That was the first of many ignorant ideas which led to this mess which we call the United States of America.
    :D

    I thought this thread was addressed to men, not liberals.

    But now that you mention it, based on the election, the proportion of "conservative/liberal" is roughly the same as "female/male." So if men have learned to live with their alleged minority status, I'm fairly certain "liberals" will be able to pull it off, too.

    That might be because the conservatives tend to be down-to-earth working people, while liberals tend to be an effete corps of impudent snobs.

    Did you learn that "I've got more money than you" argument from reading Kierkegaard?

    Well, you are in good company. Socrates believed just as you do. But we all know how he ended up.

    Apparently, he is right.

    And no, you weren't trying to be funny.

    I don't know about you, but I feel pretty good knowing that I'm smarter than 51% of the population.

    Uh, depending on your property, gender, or race, they probably didn't allow your vote to count.

    Sorry to do two posts in a row, but this might not be the board, sport or nation to claim that majority trumps everything.

    LEARN to live with it? Dude, I woke up (and wake up here) everyday living with it. Being a minority is not the issue.

    And what are you submitting with that? That the majority is,m by definition, right?

    How much history, how much change, fostered by various minorities can you sh!t on in one thread launch?

    My standardized test scores already told me I'm starter than 99% of college bound high school seniors so being told that I'm starter than 51% of the nation is a bit underwhelming ;).

    Ann Coulter owes it to herself to satisfy her twisted fetishes in one gratuitous snuff film.

    Conservative never stopped bitching and moaning about the 'liberal elite' and our evil schemes. Now that they have the White House, the Supreme Court, and both houses of Congress, do you really think they'll stop, what with Dan Rather and all those ivory-tower academics still on the loose?

    And if the moaning and groaning is getting to you, well, we had to put up with all that and much worse for years. Tell your peeps to shut the ******** up and get to work.

    I'd feel better about being smarter if my state wasn't giving handouts to the red states. Can we have a state version of No Child Left Behind and cut off the underperforming states?

    I remember learning in high school that only male, white, land-owners were allowed to vote and that a free black man's vote was only worth 3/5 of a white man's. I also slept a lot in high school so if some one could clarify this I would appreciate it.

    It was great when the college students tried to nail her with pies a couple of wks. ago. Even when she wasn't expecting it, the evil scarecrow was somehow able to dodge food.
