Description
Yeah I'm a republican,But I don't like war.
Sure I'm a conservative,
But who's keeping score?
I support gay marriage,
And I'm also pro choice,
The media lies about us,
But don't we have a voice?
I'll respect your opinion,
If you respect mine.
I’m tired of getting flamed all the time!
Don’t hate me because I’m for McCain,
Don’t tell me I’m living without a brain.
I’m a republican, elephant, conservative,
and it might suprise you to know that
I’m proud.

You see, the reason people are flaming you for being a republican is because voices like yours don't ever get out. Its only ever the tea-party and their insanity and message of hate that people ever see of Republicans.

Do you actually know what the Tea Party's message was, or were you informed by the same media that told you all Republicans are evil racist white guys?

Yes, I do know. I remember the time Ted Cruz suggested concentration camps for homosexuals. I remember the long, crazy, rambling rants of Sarah Palin. I've been to Pride Parades, where proud tea-party supporters are screaming in my face that I'm going to hell. So I wasn't "influenced" by the media, I was influenced by the things they did. I make a point of never hating something I don't understand, and so when I say I hate the Tea-Party and what they stand for it isn't out of ignorance. The Tea-Party is simply an extremist subsection of a dying party.

I was going to write something in response, I even did the proper research to back up my claim about Ted Cruz. I'll admit to being confused there, it was one of Cruz's good friends (Kevin Swanson) who made the comment not Cruz himself. I simply must have misheard the story, although it isn't that much better for him this way. But before I wasted too much of my time I realized who I was speaking with. If you're going to respond to an entire paragraph of passionate testimony with only two words, why should I put in any effort of my own? You give me your citation to prove the Tea-Party isn't a bunch of racist, homophobic, ignorant, hateful, and all around toxic individuals who do more harm to this country than Isis does.

Name the Tea Party member who murdered fifty people in a night club.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Name the lobbiest association that allows madmen like him to get military grade assault rifles, and the party strongly fighting to ensure that the system is never changed. The system that is responsible for not just that mass shooting, but the senseless violence before it.
Name the terrorist organization who was responsible for hundreds of African American deaths, and has still never been brought to justice. Who's current members are staunch supporters of the tea party.
Name the president who claimed he would provide funding for research into curing Aids, then funneled funding away from it allowing thousands to die. The one who is now the Tea-Parties greatest and most revered hero.
Then name the president who brought us into war after war, and used religious zealotry to cripple scientific progress in genetic science. Who forever stained our dignity in front of the whole world, by promoting torture and barbarisms.

Fine, if you wish to be petulant, it was not a Tea-Party member who went into that nightclub. It was a deranged individual who, as I said, was able to acquire military grade weaponry through the highly unregulated second ammendment system currently in place. He supported Isis, but was not an official member and acted of his own initiative. He probably would have done this anyway, if Isis didn't exist. Because he was a crazed lunatic, with access to automatic weaponry.
Now weigh those 50 deaths against the thousands I mentioned, and give me a real answer.

'Not an official member'?
True, while they didn't find the official ISIS Membership Card™ or Bin Laden Decoder Ring™, that does not mean he was not part of ISIS. ISIS made a massive mandate, telling Muslims the world over that it's their sacred duty to enact the fundamental word of Allah across the globe.
What makes this guy different than the lunatic who held the Discovery Channel hostage with a bomb some years ago and invoked Al Gore's name is that Al Gore never called for violent action.
Further, the gun was simply the tool that the monster chose to use against those people. Had he chosen to make a bomb instead, the casualties could have been much, much higher. And if only ONE person at that club had a gun, then that night would have turned out much differently.
What? You don't like that safety has to come at one's own hand? Well, I'm afraid that's the world we live in right now. And crippling citizens' ability to defend themselves by childishly blaming the instrument rather than the one using it is grievously unfair to the majority who are responsible weapon owners.
It would be like, using the earlier example, locking up Al Gore and taking away his first amendment right in the interest of maintaining the public safety because he 'might' inspire someone else to violent too.
We've had Muslims mowing down people in mass shootings since Obama first walked into the White House and it's a trend that will continue as long as we keep *allowing* them to kill us.
And the second amendment is more regulated than your sources (Undoubtedly comedians who play at being activists) are leading you to believe. You still need wait lists for AR-15's, you still need background checks for most weapons. People like you just can't seem to accept that if a monster is so inclined to commit murder on such a scale, that a stupid law isn't actually going to deter them.
Especially when we have such a mass of smugglers, human traffickers and black marketeers flooding up from Mexico. Thanks for that too, by the way.
Nothing will change the nature of a monster.
Except for a bullet to the brain, which is the best way to stop them.
You don't like it? Then support stricter immigration laws.
Because you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Thank you. I disagree with you completely, but I'm grateful you finally gave a REAL response. Even if you answered none of my questions, at least you finally decided to step off your high horse and try to give a reasoned arguement.
Let's start with the most glaring hole in logic, you blame immigrants for American crime. The man who killed 50 people wasn't an immigrant, he was an American citizen. Born in New York. And if he had been a devout Catholic, you probably wouldn't have even cared. To use the fifty deaths there as a platform for your anti immigration policies is despicable. You should be ashamed.
Besides immigration laws are actually a lot tighter than you've been lead to believe, and the idea of Isis using it to get into America is ridiculous. How many actual members of Isis, and not just American lunatics who used their doctrines as an excuse to kill people, have you heard of getting into America and committing mass murder? You talk about "Muslims mowing people down since Obama" but how many mass shootings can you actually list? The Muslim faith is no more at fault for the existence of Isis than Christianity is at fault for the existence of the KKK, or the Nazi's.
I won't deny that he could have made a bomb and potentially killed more people. And maybe less people would have died if someone had a gun. But the fact that he was able to get a gun of that caliber in the first place is the real issue. I have a relative who owns a farm and works hard on it every day. Last time I counted, she had around 4 or 5 guns. A shotgun, and a few revolvers. She should have those guns, and no one has any right to take them away. She needs them, to put down dying livestock and to defend her farm from predators. But she doesn't own an AR15 assault rifle, and will never own one. Because the only reason to have a gun like that is if you intend to kill someone. And if that bastard had decided to use a bomb, someone in that room having a gun wouldn't have made a difference then either.
And yes, there is crime coming from Mexico and it is abhorrent. But what do you think building a wall will accomplish? They'll just dig under it, and the wall will have done nothing but drained our economy. And deporting every illegal immigrant would be inhumane to the people who just want an honest life, and can't afford to become an American citizen. Dangerous offenders? Sure, throw them back over. But a large portion of those immigrants work doing things you don't want to do.
Finally, you're saying how people like Al Gore have never tried to call people to violence. How about when Donald Trump called NRA supporters and gun owners to kill Hillary Clinton?

Regrettably, DA's system believed my lengthy rebuttal to be spam. Therefor, I copied it to a Word Document and placed it in my St.ash. The link is here: Rebuttal 9-7-2016

I'm not going to download anything you send me, and I'm not going to pretend that it's for any reason other than the fact that I neither like or trust you. Honestly, this arguement isn't going to end up accomplishing anything productive and I don't have the time for it. You're a staunch Republican, and I'm a socialist who believes Ronald Reagan is one of the worst presidents in recent history. We aren't going to agree on anything

For your convenience, I have loaded my rebuttal to my Tumblr account.
zucca101.tumblr.com/post/15009…
However, I would like to remind you that .doc files can pose no harm to your computer. And if downloading the file causes your computer any harm, I go on record before DA as saying that there is no hostile software in the St.ash link I provided.
I've made every effort now to respond to you and your evasive nonsense is becoming extremely grating.

Anything I had resembling respect for you is gone. You've shown yourself to be a shallow and reprehensible individual, by posting a private arguement in the public. I'm not going to continue this, because I have actual responsibilities and because I don't want to be dragged in front of an unfriendly crowd certain to side with you. If you contact me again, I will ignore you. You disgust me, and I have no interest in speaking to people I find revolting.

At what point did you believe this was private?
We are on a public forum on an open website and I don't have many followers on Tumblr. I did not tell my few Tumblr followers to attack you or even inferred as such, saying that any facts from my rebuttal they wish to use, they can.
Look, if you want to admit defeat when you have no argument of substance outside of juvenile platitudes, just say so.

Ah, a good challenge. Let us see how balanced my judgement is or is not. First off my father was a Republican and I found it noxious. I judge only when I feel my knowledge is sufficient to come to a conclusion. Support for McCain, I support and despise him. I respect his honesty and revile him for his decision to support for the H-1B program. This is a good segue to the republican interest in big business, the Party runs from evenhanded to Ayn Rand insanity. Industry itself is not objectionable. Unfettered industrialism is an anathema to me. The question becomes what policies do you support. I align myself with no party or government. I try to choose what seems the most sensible to me. To borrow from a great man, I do not judge by making labels nor do I label myself, people are far too complicated to give them a label. We should be judged by the content of our character not by labels, titles or philosophical trappings. It really is the sign of an inferior intellect to be part of this human failing and observation,"When someone does not know you completely they fill in what they do not know and it is almost always negative." I am an atheist but firmly believe,"Judge not lest thee be judged." I have made assumptions about what you or anyone who reads this will take away from it. In fact I form a very weak hypothesis and seek to test it. I do not often take this much time on a comment. I believe you deserve it. I have made judgements by the words I have chosen and three points,"I respect someone who lives by intellect, I do not find labels at all useful and I believe it is part of the human condition to make up our minds sometimes in the presence of information to the contrary. Medical Doctors in spite of training and often, superior intellect; make these judgements all of the time. I would enjoy hearing from you.

It's true the media lies about them a lot but most of us are for RIGHTS TO LIFE and to stop abortion, discrimination of children. We also are religious so most of us don't support gay rights.

I don't think the media lies about you guys (republicans) they just tell the truth about the piss-poor party it's become. Face it, most ALL of the Republican candidates for office are extremist morons who can't be trusted with running this country.
I don't hate republicans, because I'm intelligent enough to know rhat there are people like you who obviously seem opposed to the extremism that candidates like Perry, Palin, Santorum, Gingrich, etc. support.

I know it's been a while since the last comment, but felt it necessary to post!
I may not be republican (I sure am not democrat, either though), but I'm way more conservative than liberal. I don't get too much hate though, considering that I'm from Alaska and ... a large portion of Alaskans are republican. Though, once I get onto the internet it's like I'm evil for being more conservative than others. :\ ... then they expect you to respect their opinions! And if you don't change your mind you're a bad person and such.
Very nice poem, though, I think more people should just be more open minded about other's opinions, even IF they disagree.

Awesome!! Well done.
Enjoy your free speech while you can.
The fairness doctrine and the sister bill for the internet, S.B. 1 and the house bill which goes with S.B. 1 will soon be resurrected by liberals to take that right away to muzzle the conservative voice.
As Hannity would say... "Conservatism in exile."
GOD BLESS!!

I agree with this, despite being Democratic.
There's a lot of assumptions that come with the Republican party (Even if they are generally true, it's not fair for the exceptions).
I would've supported McCain before Clinton, without a doubt. /:
