Conservative Club II

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Well since our old club seems to have been destroyed I felt its time to open its replacement. To bad our Sgt at arms is banned, maybe for life, from witnessing this event. You all know the rules, infered only. Rush Limbaugh has stocked us with some of his best cigars, theres a shooting range out back now complete with skeet. We have an 18 hole golf course and a driving range. Of course the bar is fully stocked and I have hired the Juggies from the Man Show as waitresses. There is also a Ruths Crisp Steakhouse on the premisis I hope you all like the new place.

I know this thread already exists but I believe you can close the other one.

[Templar Knight]

golf, cigars and waitresses, can I join?

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Are you a conservative?

[Templar Knight]

hell yes!

[KyodaiSteeleye]

I'm a conservative!

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Maybe you should pull your pants back up and look for a handout elsewhere

[KyodaiSteeleye]

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Aahhh. Such a spacious modicum of relaxment from which I and my conservative brethren may lay the political smackdown. So cry "Four more years" and let slip... something. Couldn't think of a good recreational item that could be "let slip." Hell, put those burgers on the barbie and break out the rifles! We're going skeet shooting! On the golf course!

[Templar Knight]

so am I in or not?

[Don Corleone]

Brief questionare on very, very important grounds for membership...


-Whisky or whiskey? Which?

-Favorite cigar? How many do you intend to bring to the first member's meeting for us to partake of?

-Jennifer Anniston or Angelina Jolie?

-What's your handicap?

All that political rambling is just a cover, this is really a country club, with the Juggies (from the manshow) for waitresses.

By the way, I'm just messin around... Gawain's membership chair.

[Xiahou]

While this may hardly be a topic for deep though-provoking discussion, I've been wanting to get something off my chest....

I think Sean Hannity is an idiot- there, I said it.
[rant]When I first got FoxNews, I thought he was interesting and I occassionally watched his show. When he got the 3-6pm slot on my local AM radio, I thought great- beats the local lib we used to have. But, after listening to him on and off for what's probably been a year, I realize I just can't stomach the man. He seems to only be able to stick to pre-defined talking point during a discussion and if he's knocked off script all he seems capable of responding with is something intellectually equivalent to "well you're a big doody-head!"

I will acknowledge that he (or maybe his staffers) dig up some juicy news bits from time to time and that he's involved in some worthwhile charities, but outside of that- what good is he? I know there are many more intellectually engaging people out there to listen to- especially on radio. [/rant]

So, any conservative commentators you can't stand or love dearly?

so am I in or not?

As I've said in a different thread, by looking at their platform, the UK conservatives seem to be pretty reasonable people- certainly when compared to the liberals.
So, you've got my vote.

[JAG]

I heard this is the conservationist club. Can I join, I am a very keen and ardent conservationist. Damn those people who would walk all over the earth with thier polluting smiles and bollox arguments!

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

*awkward pause*

[to partying conservatives]: Should we tell him?

I used to listen to him after Rush but he always says the same things. Always uses that trick of quoting a democrat like it was Bush and making another liberal look stupid. You would think they would hae caught on by now. Now i tune into O Reily when hes on. I catually think Colmes is more entertaining on TV. At least hes real funny sometimes. That being said Hannity is a very powerful force on the conservatives side. I wouldnt toss him out

Read the title of the thread. Repeat as necessary until a certain realization dawns upon you.

If you still want in, you'll have to bring us 10 newly felled trees to prove your loyalty. You will also have to drive an SUV and buy everything at Walmart. Of course, you'll still be the busboy for thinking this was a conservationist club.

Though, I do agree about people walking over the earth being fools. It's much better to drive a big ole gas guzzling bemehoth, crushing the small, delicate plants, and shooting the furry woodland creatures as they scatter in fear.

I'll drink to that!

Yes, this is all pretty much true- I just think there are many people out there capable of more intelligent debate than him (Michael Medved comes to mind), I guess they don't have the charisma (or TV Show?) to attract enough publicity to themselves. I also think that Hannity appeals to people on more of an emotional level than others, which is probably another reason I don't care for him- I usually don't find emotional arguments appealing.
In case anyone's interested... www.michaelmedved.com I mention him, because while driving to/from customers I occasionally pass thru areas that air him instead of Hannity and he seems much more intelligent from what I've heard.

[PanzerJaeger]

I think hannity is trying to form a good public image and avoid the stigmas attached to people like Savage and even Limbaugh.. sure i like them but they have stigmas.

Hannity is a good person to point out to new conservatives, his arguments are pretty simple and talking-point oriented, but powerful.

Now if you want to get in-depth, others are more appropriate, but Hannity serves an important purpose in helping our younger brethren sort out basic conservative ideology.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Hey who your favorite conservative radio talk show hosts?

I thibk Rush rules. Medved is very good. I also love Glenn Beck . Laura Ingram is my favorite female one. I think mext to Rush though I like Mark Levine. He really cracks me up.

[Xiahou]

I'd say Rush is my favorite as well- that guy can really think on his feet. I occasionally get to listen to Ingram and she's usually pretty good too. Savage is what O'Reilly would call a 'bomb thrower'- I listen occassionally for entertainment value, but I don't put much stock in him.

As to O'Reilly himself- I have to agree with some of his critics... He does seem very arrogant and quite full of himself. I also think he takes some silly positions just so he can prove to everyone that he's a 'moderate' or 'traditionalist' or whatever the hell he's calling himself. Having said that though, the man does have his moments and he seems to have alot of influence right now. And its fun to watch him really grill libs who can't back up their arguments.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

. And its fun to watch him really grill libs who can't back up their arguments.

Yeah whe it comes to getting peeps to stay on topic and answer the questions hes the best. I hate hoe he always rtalks in the third person. And always saying we like everyone who works with or listens to him agrees with him. What does he have, a mouse in hispocket? Or is the just the effect of Edie on him? She really spices up the show. Theres another libertarian host i cant think of at the monent whos great and no its not lional though I do love his voice. I talked on his show once. Wouldnt you know my cell phone died just as I was about to sink him We were arguing over seperation of church and state.

Just thought of the other guy. Neal Boortz.

[Demon of Light]

What happened to the first Conservative Club?

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Some liberal burned it down. "looks in Jags direction"

[Don Corleone]

Does anyone else get Neil (Neal?) Borscht? He's on our FM talk station oppossite Rush (AM). I'd have to say, Laura Ingram, in terms of sheer entertainment value, WAS my favorite. Lately, she's tried to get 'cool' by including movies & music and I just don't see the point. I will say, when she had the "The Call of the Dean-key" YEAAARRGGGHHHH!!!! I couldn't stop laughing.

I don't like Rush as much as I used to because 1) he seems obsessed with the word "orgasm" lately and 2) sometimes he takes a partonrizing tone. I guess my favorite right now, probably cause he's new and different, is Neil Borscht.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Borscht? Isnt that some kind of Polish dish?

You two can learn to read and spell Check above.

From my previous post

He rocks

[PanzerJaeger]

I dont get a chance to listen to much talk radio... i have really enjoyed Rush the times i have gotten to hear him. The commercials are killer though, at least around here!

[Gawain of Orkeny]

On a new topic should the republicans change the rules of conress and eliminate the super majority rule if the democrats continue to block and filibuster Bushes judicial nominations.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I kind of favor the "nuclear option". At least partly because its the closest we'll come to actually using nuclear weapons, and even better because its towards Democrats!

I have some slight vague uneasiness about, though. I mean, IF we lose the Senate then we can't fillibuster. But then again, I don't think our side will ever sink to that level of girly-manliness. I hope.

Though I think it would be priceless for a Republican senator to fillibuster by reading the Bible in its entirety. Watch the liberals rage. Priceless.

*Reminds self to write letter to senator reccomending reading of "Fahrenheit 911" during fillibuster*


I say we make a deal...you guys get rid of the fillibuster, and we out all the Republicans who are gay. Of course nothing would happen to their careers since gays aren't treated any different by Americans as PJ pointed out in another thread.

[makkyo]

how can a prove my conservitiveness? Need I go hunting for you guys?

Are you willing to have a large portion of your taxes go to helping some poor bums in Iraq but against welfare in the United States?
