dont they refer to themself that way,
in any case, whats offensive isnt always obvious, as in this case where teabagger could easily refer to the teabags hanging off their hat I find it unlikely that most of the mainstream population would have any idea about the sexual context of the word anymore than they would know scat is more than a type of singing or that watersports is more than skiing and surfing,,, |

yeah, thats a completely context based interpretation from an elder, who uses the term for young people from all races,,it means one thing from an elder who calls everyone ELSE 'young man' or 'young woman' , it means quite a different thing from a cowardly mob yelling the n word, its a bit more obvious what it means |

In one respect, yes, you can say that "Libs" is short for "Liberals" but the point I am making is that the use of "you libs" or "the dems" is used by a particular group. They don't do it to save time or to shorten the term, it is a "tag." It is part of their group speak, or part of how they talk. It is like a dialect. Dialects identify where you are from and who you hang out with.
You will never here a dignified politician use those terms, ever. It is slang and in my view crude and rude. Every person I have ever talked to over the Internet that uses terms like that are usually ranting and raving about something. Would you say the same thing about those who use the term "tea bagger"? Yep. I drink a lot of ice tea but I'm not a tea bagger.

By "tea bagger" are you referring to someone involved with the tea party movement? I have actually never heard the term.

How to spot a liberal or conservative.
THESE ARE GENERALIZATIONS ... FOR FUN. Left, Right, and Other States of Insanity I am not quite sure what the meaning of “Conservative” and or “Liberal” is or what it means to different people. I am quite sure it is not so cut and dried as one might think. But below are my over all impressions of what people think they are. If I had to describe myself, with either one of these labels… I would have to say I was a liberal, although I don’t fit my own sterio-type description below, but that is just in fun anyway. Yet I am sure that part of me is conservative. I don’t know what part that is, but I am sure there is something conservative about me… oh yeh, I don’t get welfare checks or food stamps. Too damn much paperwork involved. I don’t know if that is conservative or just lazy, which might be considered liberal. Its so confusing. CONSERVATIVES  -------------------------------------
Your average run-of-the-mill idea of conservatives tend to be thought of as white, republican, Christian, and usually Protestant. *they are hunters, warriors,and industry leaders, *They send their sons to war, *they believe what their president tells them, IF HE IS REPUBLICAN. *they are anti-abortion, (anti-choice,) *they are for the death penalty *they preach “family values” and “patriotism.” *they would like to plant the ten commandments on the courthouse lawn *they want to pray to Jesus in public school auditoriums, anyone who doesn’t like it can leave. *they believe what they hear on CNN, and other network major media. *they are anti-change *they claim to want less government (anti-change, no new laws, etc.) *they want to form a militia *they have flags on their lawns and yellow ribbons on their cars with the Christian fish symbol. *they take too many perscription drugs.

 ------------------------------
Liberals: Your average run-of-mill idea of liberals tend to be thought of as poor white, and minorities, mostly catholic, Democrat, atheists or godless pagans. *They are ex-hippies, draft dodgers, trailer trash *they don’t trust their president *they are pro-choice, pro-abortion, free love types *they are against the death penalty *they are atheists or agnostics or pagans who don’t want the ten commandments on the court house lawn. *they don’t care one way or another about prayer in schools or they are against it. *they don’t watch the news *they want to change the world but don’t know how exactly *they want to make new laws *they are probably on welfare or food stamps *they want to form a commune *they have flamingos or other tacky things on their lawn and sport all mannor of bumper stickers. *they live in trailers and drive big cars. *They smoke pot. HERE IS WHERE THEY LIVE:

I dont understand why you have to register as one or the other, why cant people just be registered to vote and then make their decision on a case by case basis...

I dont understand why you have to register as one or the other, why cant people just be registered to vote and then make their decision on a case by case basis... They can. You can register to vote an unaffiliated. If you are registered under a party, you are allowed to help elect the people in your party who will run against the other party. You vote in the primaries. Republican against republican is running to see who will run against the Democrats in the main election. A Republican can't vote in a democratic primary. A Democrat can't vote in a republican primary. It is a nomination process. If you are not registered as any party at all, but registered to vote in the main election, you just can't vote in any of the primary elections. |

The primaries are always local events. |

All of that b.s. is just a bunch of racist bull crap because some republicans can't stand that a black man is president or that he is educated and smarter than them. Donald Trump is a racist idiot who is all about Donald Trump. He is an embarrassment to the republican party.... more of an embarrassment than George Bush. This fiasco will doom the republican party and reveal their dirty little secret of racism. If you are a republican running for office you had better distance yourself from the Donald.
that's all you libs live by, it you don't get your way, then you scream racist.... it's all you have to stand on.... try something new for a change... did it ever occur that maybe we just don't like obama? is that racist to just not like him? I know I would absolutely LOVE to not ever have to call anything racist again. Too bad people won't stop being so so that can happen. |
