This is childlike thinking. Like when kids think that Dogs and Cats always hate each other (unless of course they have a dog and a cat as pets)
The die hard republican really created their own mess. If you all really wanted a theocracy you should have started a long time ago. This country is a Democracy and as such the votes count (most of the time) Your all simply out numbered now. I guess all of the Die hards could move to Alaska and merge the cessation party with the republican party and all live in theocratic bliss. You could call it the Republic of Alaska.
If you want to stay on the forum, and I doubt you do, then do the following:
1. Change your screen name. (I'll have to do it for you, so tell me what you want.) It's fine for you to be the voice of the opposition, but combining that roll with your screen name results in an insult to the rest of the members.
2. Don't make another personal attack on anyone -- not one. If you can't state your position respectfully, then don't post.
3. Don't be a troll. Posting something like "the Die hards could move to Alaska and merge the cession party with the republican party . . ." is clearly designed to start a fight and it's trolling. You are neither funny nor enlightening.
You clearly think you are the only voice for the Democrat Party but that proves you haven't bothered to research the opinions expressed on the TexasCHLforum before joining and immediately violating our rules. There are a number of Democrats on the forum and they present their positions and beliefs respectfully. They are members of our "family" regardless of their party affiliation. There are Libertarians that do likewise. Contrary to your snide remark, TexasCHLforum is not an extension of the Pachyderm Club, though I suspect the majority of members vote for more Republican candidates than they do Democrats. I must admit, even the Democrats on the forum agree that Obama would be the most anti-gun President this country has ever seen. Trying to argue otherwise is as futile as arguing that the sun doesn't rise in the east, but do so if you wish just do it respectfully.
Before you head down the First Amendment road, let me save you the trouble. The First Amendment applies only to government action, not our rules on this forum. Nevertheless, we don't engage in wholesale restrictions on opinions you can express. We do care how you state those opinions. You can express almost any opinion that doesn't violate the rules of the forum. Please take the time to read those rules and you will see very little content restrictions. Even the restrictions on how opinions can be expressed are designed to ensure that discussions don't become personal attacks or contain profanity.
All that said, you must understand that coming to TexasCHLforum and trying to support someone like Obama is not going to garner much support for your position. It would be like me going to speak at "Reverend" Wright's church and telling his congregation that he is an anti-American, racist liar and expecting a warm welcome. As long as you can accept that your position will be in the minority and you do not lash out with insults, personal attacks, or lies, then you are welcome.
If I don't hear from you today about a new screen name, then I will take it that you don't want to remain on the forum.
