Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?
GOP voters in Iowa certainly aren’t!
There may not be any perfect choices among the GOP candidates, but other than Ron Paul, I think Mike Huckabee may be the worst choice of the bunch.
Thanks for nothing Iowa and don’t miss Vodka Pundit’s open letter to GOP Iowa voters:
Dear Iowa Republicans,
I’ll put this in language even your tiny little Iowa brains can understand: What the f*** is wrong with you people?
The news coming out of Des Moines (literally, French for “tell me about the rabbits, George”) tonight is distressing in the extreme. 32 years ago, your Democratic brethren took one look at Jimmy Carter — the worst 20th Century President bar Nixon, and the worst ex-President ever — and declared, “That’s our man!”
Three decades later, and along comes Mike Huckabee. Same moral pretentiousness, same gullibility on foreign affairs, only-slightly-less toothy idiot’s grin. Then you so-called Republicans took a look at Carter’s clone and said, “That’s our man, too!”
And by a pretty wide margin.
I’ll give you some credit where it’s due: you guys had sense enough to give Fred Thompson a breather, and Ron Paul a pretty solid kick in the (ahem) nuts. But Mike Huckabee? Really? We’ve seen this game before, and its name is… every other single stupid, un-winnable candidate you’ve ever picked — which is most of them.
So I repeat the question: What is wrong with you people?
All my love, you corn-sucking idiots,
VodkaPundit
PS You’re making Iowa Democrats look like Albert freakin’ Einstein. How’s that feel?
As for the Democrats, it’s always nice to see a Clinton get smacked around but honestly I’m not sure which Democrat candidate scares me most. Both would be a freaking disaster for our national security if elected.
Unfortunately, I fear that Obama will win the nomination and will then run a Deval Patrick like campaign of nothingness to win the general election.
God help us.

Cool. Except I am a pro-war vet who backs Ron Paul for his Constitutional focus. I do not agree with him on foreign policy but his domestic policy is more important. Can you seriously trust a socialist like McCain or Romney? Both of these neocons support feminists. Go to www.onlinedatingrights.com to see that we have bigger problems at home than Islamofascists in Iraq.
Right, Jack. There’s nothing more foul than a socialist neocon who supports feminists and online dating rights. Bastards, every one of them. I couldn’t bring myself to hit the link.
I’m worried too, NER, and not just that our left opponents will associate our thinking with Jack’s. Obama hits too many soft spots in the American heart, and a big one in the American head. We often vote for people who make us feel good.
Huckabee? Too much corn liquor out there
You sound like the 5th graders this thread is about. Feminists do not support online dating rights. They believe that all men are sex offenders until proven otherwise. No heterosexual conservative single male could defend their policies. Click the link. Defending feminists is simply not conservative and not consistent with the image of the eagle you have to the right that says “these colors don’t run”.
Your yellow ribbon that says “Support Our Troops” is a lie if you think our troops need to be background checked via the IMBRA law before they can say hello to a Romanian or Bulgarian woman when they are on leave to Black Sea resorts (a popular destination for the troops).
Do you think there is something funny about the prhase “socialist neocon who supports feminists”?
Do you think 911 made that description of guys like Julie Annie, McCain and Romney and Huckabee irrelevant?
Jack, I wondered if you were working a parody (bad), or if you were serious (worse) so I clicked the link. You’re serious.
Maybe it’s just the feminist, socialist neocon in me, but I can’t get heated over your difficulties with online dating, even if the ladies are fetching Romanians. Black Sea types have great tans.
Hey, I didn’t see you in at recess in sixth grade, so I assumed they came to get you. If you’d stayed in school a little longer you’d probably know what a socialist is, and there’s a slim chance that might understand what neo-conservatism is. Usually socialism and neo-conservatism don’t go together…kind of like Bulgarian mail-order brides and the Playboy Mansion.
I’m a SWCMM (Straight While Conservative Married Male) who enjoys long walks and sunsets and I support the troops. Three of them were my sons. You’re right about one thing, though. They didn’t have a Bangkok like we Viet vets did, therefore no gateway for marriage offers.
I’m working on why the events of 911 made Julie Annie, McCain and Romney and Huckabee socialist neocons. Was it like some vampire or werewolf thing?
So you don’t have a problem with McCain working with Democrats on laws written by the NOW? Check out www.mensnewsdaily.com to see that you are talking about a hefty portion of the conservative population that will not accept your obstinance in terms of our concerns.
Don’t be arrogant. Ron Paul’s 10% of Republicans is not going to fall behind whatever candidate gets the Republican nomination, unless a lot of such concerns are removed.
You did not study IMBRA enough if you think it is about marriage. It is about dating sites in general. A Bush appointee said “The Supreme Court has never held that there is a fundamental liberty interest in an American contacting a foreigner”. A Clintonite said about IMBRA “Meeting someone online is like buying a gun, both should require a background check”.
No concern about that kind of thing going on in the fed courts behind your back?
This is what defines “neoconservative” these days: someone who has no concern about big government making and upholding all sorts of new laws that you don’t know about and which, in this one case, doesn’t seem to affect you because you THINK you are going to stay married forever.
Last I heard, conservative meant that you are for small government.
Do a Google search. Nobody has ever won an argument against me about IMBRA, especially smartmouths who want to be sarcastic about RINOs voting with feminist Democrats against the interests of single guys.
You have no business showing disrespect for single males just because you think you are married forever.
That is no way to keep the Republican Party united.
Good comment, Jack. Now we can talk.
Yours is the libertarian view on online match-making. Human trafficking and predatory prowling are reasons to worry about it (among others), however, and whether a civilized nation should ignore the potentials in silence is worth debating.
In any case, “singles guys” are an interest group now, according to you, with specific rights. And your argument with “feminists” as evil and unjust falls apart on that basis alone. What is the right in question with online dating? The right of association? It would be useful if you could explain it. You might have to go to court.
If you organize and state your single-guy case, then you’re the organized opposition to organized “feminists”. Life is competitive, and you have no specific claim to be above criticism, even by “feminists”. Get over it, and don’t mix issues.
Feminism, as a social movement, has a long and spotty record in The West, with real achievements and real failures. NOW is not representative of the broad population of women who would call themselves feminists today.
I don’t like McCain, either. But you’re not going to reinforce your nit-picking case against him by calling him a socialist and a neocon. First of all, he’s not a socialist, and he isn’t a neo-con. You need to do some work on this issue, Jack. Your definition of neo-conservativism is silly. Wickipedia could help you.
As for marriage, if mine ended I wouldn’t be looking for a Romanian or Bulgarian bride online. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t, but it also means you shouldn’t assume that I WOULD.
Conservativism, which is my preferred spelling, also concerns itself with human dignity and liberty. These moral issues can also be raised about the criminal potentials of online match-making, so you have to be careful about making small government a dogma. Then you sound like Sean Hannity.
Wow, all this mentioning of online dating should really bring in some search engine traffic.
We still get at least a dozen people a day searching google for “virgin cheerleader” and ending up at this post. I can only imagine their surprise!
You’re famous Hotspur!
Wow, NER!
From unpatriotic right-wing hooligan to baby killer and now a black flag from the Paul campaign! Fantastic. I’m an arrogant anti-Republican Party NEO-CON who disrespects Republicans and has a narrow outlook on marriage. (Considering that I’ve tried it twice, this doesn’t make sense.)
Vote for ME!
…thinkin’ it over. I wonder if my old, tattered Young American’s For Freedom card from 1964, and my personal pic of Barry Goldwater will make a difference when they come for me.
…I guess that was late ‘63.
Just where the hell am I? What ’s a Bulgarian hairy mole modeler got to do with politics? Or is it the hoyden Slutsnaya, the Muscovite who can’t get a date.
If anyone is so geeky they troll online for fems so ugly, they won’t post a photo, they probably forget to pull up their pants after a solo afternoon delight.
At one time, republicans and conservatives shared DNA. No more. Todays pachyderms are trading in the prehensile proboscis for a RINO horn and are merely cross dressing Donks. As for Ron Paul, he is sooo outre, no other elected official will sign on to his positions.
Today, a virgin cheerleader is a mythical beast a la Thurber. Of course the Islamotard heaven is populated by the aforementioned. A puerile position to take, but then gimps are fascinated by Porky’s movies and all sequels.
This run of comments sounds like a bunch of short rounds, which is pretty much online dating. Besides real men hit them upside the haid and drag them back to the trailer; then they dress them in jumpers and Maryjanes.
May you catch an online knobby
This site is the BEST! Whoo-Hoo! Yeah!
You can go to the arch-conservative FreeRepublic.com to learn just how hated the socialist John McCain is among real conservatives. McCain votes with the Democrats more than with the Republicans and he “compromises” with them whenever compromise is not at all necessary.
“Human trafficking” is a feminist slogan. It has nothing to do with online dating outside the fantasies of feminist organizations (which are being unconstitutionally funded by the US Senate). Whether you would date a Romanian beauty is also irrelevant, as is whether you would want a 23 year old girlfriend if you were 53 and divorced. It is assumed you would not be part of a group that would block other men from assembling with whom they want.
Most men with testosterone still in their bodies will want to date a younger adult woman if she is gorgeous, smart and friendly. They don’t think in Marxist feminist terms that the woman might only be available because of supposed economic necessity (an ugly, insecure and insulting assumption to make about someone from a culture where older males are respected). If you would choose not to take a Black Sea vacation should you become single because you have bought the Marxist feminist assumption that the gorgeous young women there will only like you because they are ecomically desperate, then that would mean you don’t think much of yourself nor understand that older men are admired in other cultures.
Good advice: if you are ever single again, go after whom you want and not whom you feel is politically correct to want.
Anyway, the IMBRA issue actually is about the Constitutional right to assemble. A law that investigates the background of matchmakers themselves might be constitutional, but not one that forces individuals to undergo intrusive background checks in order to meet someone who has stated that she wants her contact info broadcast to anyone and everyone.
IMBRA also takes away the foreigner’s natural law right to decide her or his own level of personal security. Any foreign woman has the right to ask someone to write her number on a bathroom stall in the US. Cell phone numbers cost $5 to get in Russia and it would be no catastrophe if a bothersome male got someone’s number and called “too much” because the number could always be replaced in case it was “ruined” by a stalker (this behavior never happens internationally).
The bottom line is that this kind of law represents unprecedented intrusion into the private lives of Americans and foreigners.
Did you agree with either of the judges’ comments from above?
Similar laws include the new law that forces Americans overseas to report to the IRS any foreign bank account.
Did you agree with the main issue on Mens News Daily this evening about the entrapment operation where a beautiful woman in an Ohio park entices a man to expose himself? The man was a fireman and his colleagues in the police department were helping the feminist-evangelist alliance to try to ruin his life over nothing?
The word neoconservative is generally used to describe an alliance of some American evangelists and Democrats to reshape the world into a “moral” place they can agree is best for everyone. Of course, they are imposing their “morals” on everyone else whether the others want that or not, including apparently a worldwide age of consent of 18 and a worldwide ban on prostitution (Bush foreign policy).
The word neocon is most used by anti-war types on the Internet to describe those who suppor the WOT that I agree with (Operation Iraqi Freedom included).
I could be described as a “Neocon” for supporting OIF.
But many in the men’s rights movement are noting that often such people cheer for the WOT because they are angered by the male chauvinism of Muslim males (how dare they keep them in burkhas) and there is a correlation between hating these Muslim males and assuming that their fellow American males are all sex offenders until proven otherwise (which is what IMBRA is all about).
What I am saying is that a ton of men who support or supported the WOT are not in line with the idea that we are fighting Muslims in the Middle East in order to further “women’s rights” and feminism (which are different things).
I would agree that “Neocon” might be confusing in describing the type of person who likes laws like IMBRA and sting operations in parks, etc. The word “mangina” would be more appropriate.
“Socialist Neocon” might be less accurate than “Marxist feminist mangina” to describe someone who would agree with the NOW on matters like IMBRA…but describing John McCain as a Marxist feminist mangina would be more impolite than the more convenient “socialist Neocon” that most FReepers at Freerepublic would readily agree describes McCain.
But McCain is, indeed, a Marxist feminist mangina. You won’t be hearing him criticize feminism by name between now and when he finally croaks.
I would expect that a Republican male like you would be able to deliver a more scathing attack on feminism than you have just done.
Before 911, it was normal for any Republican male to be able to articulate quite well that feminists were bad news because of their penchant for thinking of women as victims while all men were bad.
Somehow, 911 and the WOT spawned a bunch of married men who apparently agree with the “women as victims” mentality and have adopted femspeak terms such as “sex trafficking” and “sex tourism” and “moral issues of criminal potentials of matchmaking”.
All these phrases raise alarm bells and a Google search can find plenty of articles in major world newspapers about how “sex trafficking” is exagerrated by evanglists in the Bush administration as well as NGOs that profit from government funding to fix “problems”.
Julie Annie lost me when he issued a newsletter saying he would “put a stop to sex tourism”. WTF? He is going to stop issuing passports to American men or make American men liable to felony prosecution in the US for using a prostitute in a foreign country? Sounds like he has extra-jurisdictional ambitions.
I can promise you that the Republícan Party is not going to be united and healthy again until there is a public discussion of how evangelist moral ideology, misguided chivalry, political correctness and feminist ideology need to be carefully kept apart from each other. Certainly, massive foreign aid should not be used as a weapon to change foreign cultures as for instance Bush’s crusade to get prostitution banned in every country on Earth.
Especially since Bush’s chief enforcer of that policy was caught with a prostitute in Washington DC and forced to resign.
Well Jack, after that screed it still comes back to “Who Cares!”
Don’t forget to zip up.
I tried to read it, Jack, I really did, but there’s too much bizarro material and so little defensible information. Had you somehow been able to construct your comment from letters clipped from magazines, with skulls and daggers drawn everywhere, the effect would be complete.
I guess I’m sympathetic as matter of principle, as I am to anyone who has a claim to obstruction by The State, but your complaint is all mortar and no brick. Such as…
Straw dogs don’t bite. Neo-conservativism? As I said, please visit Wickipedia if nothing else. Then you might sound like someone who has credible opinions, and you can make your case w/o sounding ridiculous.
Feminism? We can start with one thing. Universal suffrage. Feminists. Wrong? This is why you can’t win an argument by reviling “feminists”. The feminist movement is/was so complex that you can NOT use that term AS A CONDEMNATION w/o sounding like a lunatic.
Coherence. Good ideas are easily made in a few words. A rambling screed like yours, incorporating so much raw opinion, misinterpretation, anger, insupportable conclusion and, sometimes, fact, is a muddle. The sex issue always seems to break through the surface because THAT is what your case is about. Nothing else. The unrestricted availability of women.
Anyway, Jack, if you want to discuss McCain and Bush and the others as separate issues, stick around. There are other posts that will touch on these matters. I might even do one myself on Neoconservatism.
I came back for a browse. John McCain is a Marxist feminist mangina? Wrong. McCain is a Buchmanist Up-With-People Communitarian Pontius Pilates Essene Tapioca Worshiper. That “might be less accurate”, in your words, Jack, than Liberal Republican, but it works for me.
