They're too busy fighting back against each other.

Conservatives could be saddled with the same criticism, as they adamantly refuse to listen to the other side, often denigrating science in general as false. One conservative former neighbor who I had become friendly with had insisted that talk of global warming was just a means of the left to take away everyone's freedom.

Science is just a means to take away everyone's freedom to be as irrational as they want, to hold on to whatever beliefs suit their interests, desregarding any annoying evidence to the contrary, and to act on those beliefs with the full force of the number of people sharing their mindset.

The majority of the history of the United States is without an Income tax.

Not sure why you think you cant run your life unless a government worker manages it for you.

I do hear that from Socialists though, "people are dumb, and need government workers to think for them".

People who don't pay income tax still pay for social security, unemployment, and such out of their paychecks. The notion that poor and middle income people get away Scott free from paying taxes is a right wing fantasy.

I can't help but read this as:

"Liberal creativity = art"
"Conservative creativity = kill all brown people"

Why just brown people when it's just as much fun to knock off white people. Actually, even more so since the blood contrasts better. :twisted:

Sorry, but you baited that response.

The left believes that the only reason privately owned firearms and carry permits exist is to facilitate angry racist white people murdering people of color under the rationale of self defense. It gets back to the Zimmerman - Martin fiasco of 2012-13 if you were on this forum then.

Privately owned? You posted a photo of a machine gun with an army helmet next to it (hence my specification of color)...

Still, it doesn't change the absurdity of your initial post: "Liberal creativity = art", "Conservative creativity = gun". What am I supposed to derive from that?

Machine gun? That's a .50 caliber rifle, not an MG. I can buy one of those at a local gun shop if I have enough $$$ and those ARE expensive.
And the reason the US Army (and the USMC,USAF, USN)has been shooting brown people in more recent conflicts is because there haven't been any white people to shoot at since the involvement in Bosnia. We take what we can get.

The thread itself is absurd. Out of liberals and conservatives, why would one group be more creative than the other?

Obviously I'm not a gun expert. I can understand owning a pistol for self-defense or a rifle for sport, I just don't understand why anyone would want or need to own an anti-materiel rifle for personal use, but hey, it's not my business.

"We take what we can get" is one of the most horrifying things I can hear in relation to war.

I'm not in disagreement here; I've mentioned several times throughout this thread that I don't believe something as arbitrary as political belief has any impact on the creative process and, to analogize, a beautiful painting is just as beautiful regardless of who the painter voted for.

Yet, I still have no idea what point you were trying to make by "Liberal creativity = art"/"Conservative creativity = gun".

I took it as ...

liberal is feminite
conservative is masculine

I dare anyone to call late liberal, gun toting authors like Hunter S. Thompson and William Burroughs effeminate - and Burroughs was gay, and more of a man's man than most right wingers who need a gun to show how big their d*cks are. :twisted:

.
And no, that's not an anti-gun tirade on my part - it's an anti-conservative tirade!
