F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

That's all I wanted to say.

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

Actually, I rather enjoy those discussions. Especially when there's no real football to talk yet.

I've never understood people who bitch about what's being discussed in a particular thread. That's why you won't find me in "Other Sports" section of this website. No other sports interest me. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

I don't read them, I just see them popping up all over the place in a predominant football oriented forum. I guess this thread here is about as useless as the political ones...thanks for showing me the light Beem!

Yes, I have been drinking.

Everyone should heed those words. So many people feel like they have to respond to everything. If it doesn't interest you, don't say anything.

At our core we are a Redskins board. Once the season rolls around again I'm sure that'll take up the bulk of the threads. I don't have a problem with discussing other topics. What I have issue with are those people who come on here primarily to discuss "other topics" by essentially spamming the site with political thread after political thread after political thread. You know who you are.

What he said :Smoker:

I find these discussions informative and help me understand myself and others better.

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

It's all good, that's why we have an off-topic forum.

Some people obviously can't handle themselves very well in political based threads, but then again some can't handle themselves in any sort of discussion here it seems.

Just the same old liberal Warpath I guess. :)

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

During the regular season I hardly visit the parking lot. But, during the offseason, I need my warpath fix and it just so happens that most off-season activity on this site occurs in the parking lot. Also, it's good to hear so many different views expressed. I think the only way to keep the juices flowing in the brain is to hear from people who think differently than yourself.

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

I would rather discuss politics than vidya games or "The Transformers Movie".

As for the "Liberal Warpath" I think that's a stretch. Matty is obviously a died in the wool leftist who often feigns moderation. Pretty sneaky. As King Mod you would like more of a Geoge Washington figure, beyond party politics, but SS is an avowed Republican (albeit in the Rockefeller sense of the term -at best) and he serves kind of the Hamilton role. The real power behind the throne. So it all balances out. I think its all balanced.

I know I'm leving a lot of people out including myself, but I mostly just eff around. The Redskins are the only really important issue to me.

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

i don't really mind them but they are a little annoying cause they always end up the same way with the same people saying the same things over and over.

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

If anything, I think most warpathers are pretty conservative. I hope no one can peg me as either a conservative or a liberal.

I take offense to being with Crazyhorse. :)

I always felt I was more the inverse of Dmek or saden. I don't know who the inverse of Crazyhorse is.

That's why this is an "off topic" thread...

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

Personally I love the off-topic forums. We all have one thing in common, we're all huge skins fans (besides those few loyal members who are 'boys and giants fans. I respect all of those posters immensely). The off-topic threads allow us to see what a large cross-section of American people feel. Lately, I really feel like the political discussions have gone over great and relatively free of drama.

I'm going to *zing* myself here.

what a great quote. i really enjoy the political thing. one of the main reasons is that the threads i have seen have remained civil. and its amazing to me how some see the glass half full....

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

Actually my purpose for this thread was to lighten things up a bit as it seemed to have become very tense around here lately. Only two more weeks and we will have us some football to talk about!!!

Hail!

If I'm serving a Hamiltonian role...who's my Aaron Burr?

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

Can I be the apathetic masses. If not, that's okay, I don't really care anyway.

I volunteer TMC to be the quirky comic relief.

As a libertarian I resent being grouped with the crazy cooks on the left :)

I would do it, but I am not enough of a womanizer.

This reminds me, "Burr" by Gore Vidal is a great, great book. I find his conspiracy theories laughable and he's kind of creepy, but his series of historical novels are fantastic.

Clarification: I LOVE woman, but not in the same quantity as our second V.P. Saying I wasn't a womanizer and the talking about Gore Vidal could have sent the wrong message.

So basically I'd be Benjamin Franklin stumbling in drunk, strapped and with a beyotch in each arm?

Basically. But is that such a horrible way to live? I mean hell, isn't that the American dream right there?

But whoever ends up being Thomas Jefferson gets to have me as their Sally Hemmings.

SmootSmack (In the McCain Pariah Thread) wished he could bring back the F Political Threads thread. So I bumped it, out of the pure love in my heart.

:bump:

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

LOL nice bump

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

I heart this thread

Liberal Warpath

that's great

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

Ah, I missed this the first time round. Hell, I've been having some of the best political discussions here, rather than at any political site. And it is a fair balance of liberals to conservatives, I think.

I am James Madison, only taller. My wife (Dolly) likes McCain, but that is her only flaw.

Good call on that DRave.

LOL. Thanks. Those threads drive me nuts. I hate them and love them at the same time.

I'll agree with that and this is really the only site I have talked politics and thats because even though we disagree on matter it doe not come down to calling each other names.

I searched but didn't see if this has been posted. Apologies if it has. Seems like the right thread for it, somehow.

Loved that he picked Portis! Man knows his FF.

Re: F...Political Discussion on a Football Board!
 

the Political threads have been off the chain of late but it is an election year so be it. the Parking Lot is one of the main reasons I come here outside of Redskin's talk.

Generally a good group of guys and ladies on her that can talk on any subject.
