Why don't Chiefsplanet righties start threads?

[banyon]

Just looking at the last several pages of DC, it's always the lefties starting threads, except for recxjake (God love im').

Why is that?

Poll will follow.

[JBucc]

I would assume because all the "lefties" are posting about how bad shit is and what a terrible government we have, but in the "righties" view things are pretty good so there's not a lot to complain about. Well that's my theory that I didn't really put a lot of thought into anyway.

[mlyonsd]

Don't forget the "Because the DC Forum has enough dumb asses" option.

[banyon]

Don't forget the "Because the DC Forum has enough dumb asses" option.

hopefully I gave you an option you would like.

Don't mind me...it's Friday afternoon and I'm feeling good.

Because I'm drinking a Weizen and jammin' to an old Stevie Ray Vaughan album after reading the SRV thread in the lounge. :)

[CRONUS]

It is the lack of positive news on the Right wing front. Two year ago and beyond political thread from the right were far, far more common. 4 years ago they were a clear majority on the BB.

[Radar Chief]

Maybe it’s cause the “righties” aren’t quite as whinny ‘bout every freak’n subject and don’t need to run off at the flap just’a hear their pea rattle. :shrug:

[banyon]

Maybe it’s cause the “righties” aren’t quite as whinny ‘bout every freak’n subject and don’t need to run off at the flap just’a hear their pea rattle. :shrug:

That sounds a little like the "righties are more productive" option.

Sorry bout using the "r" word, know that grinds your gears and all. :)

[CRONUS]

LOL, cmon Radar Chief we had the righties constanly whining around here when Clinton was President. Hell I did my share of whining about Clinton. How quickly people forget.

Oh hell, I don’t care. Just as long as you don’t always lump me with’em by assumption.

[Radar Chief]

Oh sure I remember, but those that were start’n the topics were be’n pretty “whinny” themselves and some even seemed to start topics just cause they liked see’n their name on the interweb. Most’a those guys’ve moved on, or generally been shut up.
Ideologues are kinda like that, I guess. :shrug:
They’ll probably re-appear soon as there's something to gripe ‘bout again. Maybe Carter’ll open his pie hole, get a Nobel Peace Prize for it and really give’em something to cry over. ;)

Why yes!!! I remember those four months, when the DC forum didn't exist. Wall to wall whinefest.

[memyselfI]

You forgot the 'Great Right Wing Migration' option. I think that was the term for their sudden and thorough MIA status.

[Nightwish]

Why yes!!! I remember those four months, when the DC forum didn't exist. Wall to wall whinefest.
You don't have to limit yourself to ChiefsPlanet to see the trend. The folks who don't have the most powerful voice in Congress, have the loudest voice outside of it. When the liberals are in charge, it's the conservatives who are complaining the loudest, and vice versa. That hasn't changed since the day this country was founded, and it won't change anytime soon.

[patteeu]

Because jAZ and memyselfi gave posting thread after thread after thread a bad name. ;)

I can't speak for anyone else, but I hesitate to start threads because then I feel a responsibility to keep them going or at least to monitor them and respond to posts that are on-topic. I spend way too much time here anyway so I don't need that extra time burden.

The fact that recxjake does post the occasional right-oriented thread is one of the reasons I like having him around.

I voted that "righties are more productive." It may not really be why they don't start threads, but I suspect it's true in general and there wasn't a "righties make better lovers" option. :)

[WilliamTheIrish]

Yep. This POTUS is a failure and I'm pretty upset and embarrased that I was part of the reason he was elected in 00.

I'd post a thread about the good work the administration is doing, but, what good IS this administration doing?

[stevieray]

Banyon, you're smarter than this.

[banyon]

Banyon, you're smarter than this.

Does every thread have to be serious?

I wanted to see some rightie thread starters and we got a couple.

[JBucc]

Because righties don't start threads, they finish them.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Chiefs Express]

It's because the conservatives don't hate the liberals near as much as the liberals hate the conservatives.

Being more productive is probably a better choice of answers. I had our IT's block CP from work because I was spending more time playing than I was working.

[jspchief]

Funny, I was thinking about this same subject earlier today. I was wondering how this place would have looked during the Clinton era.

I have a couple guesses

1. Most DC threads are more about bitching than praising. The righties don't have as much to bitch about right now.

2. Lefties are more vocal in general in my limited experience. It's sort of the idealogy of the outraged.

[Mr. Kotter]

There were just as many negative threads from the right both here and at the old KCStar BB. Talking politics is what got a bunch of us banned at the old star BB and is main reason most of us long timers ended up here. Becky went on a banning spree and at just about the same time Kyle created this BB. Kyle invited Parker, Russ, Luz, Phil and a couple of others. They in turn invited many of us from the Star and the Planet was born. Funny to think that the ability to talk anything was the main reason this place got off to such a big start, and now a big part of that is banned to a sub-forum out of sight.

I just started a thread you platypus.

[Nightwish]

2. Lefties are more vocal in general in my limited experience. It's sort of the idealogy of the outraged.Oh how quickly they forget the Clinton era! Well, I guess all those screaming Clinton-bashers must have been "the lefties" back then, eh?

Incidentally, you're completely wrong about liberalism being "the ideology of outrage." It is the ideology of change, while conservativism is the ideology of station. Outrage has had its appropriate place in both at various times. Outrage was the bedfellow of the conservatives during the Clinton era, and of the liberals during the Bush era. Once the balance of power shifts again, as it inevitably will, it will move back in with the conservatives.

[Nightwish]

IYHO :)
In anyone's informed and considered opinion. Anybody who thinks liberals are generally more vocal than conservatives, regardless whose paradigm holds the reins, or that thinks that liberalism alone is the ideology of outrage has a seriously stunted memory.

[CRONUS]

funny how you left out who prompted Becky to ban people.It was not intentional, it was DEnise (memyselfI) that asked Becky to do some of the bannings, but I think Becky took it further than even DEnise had asked for.

[the Talking Can]

I'd post a thread about the good work the administration is doing, but, what good IS this administration doing?

that's your answer....













the only people left in this country dishonest enough to pretend Bush is honest are: kotter, patteau, rexcwhatever...no one else is shamefiul enough to start a thread pretending Bush isn't an incompetant liar...

the only two types of threads the above start are:

1. Why do people who disagree with me love terrorists?
2. How big and tasty is Clinton's penis?

Bob Dole thinks you just said something, but Bob Dole can't see it.

[Sully]

A) Play defense, bend but don't break, and pretend nothing really bad is going on in the world, and that those who see bad are nothing but whiners.
B) Wait for the other to screw up, and no matter how incremental it is compared to their side's screwup, attack as if they are, dare I say, TRYING TO KILL CHRISTMAS!!!!!! All the while, bitching and whining at a level unheard of on the other side.

I believe it has something to do with cake, and having it, and eating it...

I think that's probably true for those on the side of the position in power now and forever.

[patteeu]

IMO, liberals tend to protest more. Sure, there are the occasional abortion clinic protests from the right, but liberals will protest just about anything.

of course offbeat humor would always find it's way into the debate, which also made it funner...

Actually, I didn't ask her to ban anyone. I certainly didn't object when she started implementing the TOS in ways that I agreed with. But I didn't actively seek banning people. I think people believed I had more influence on/with her than I actually did. I certainly wasn't going to dissuade that belief when I knew it was rubbing certain folks raw...

[CRONUS]

Of course there is the occasional gay or Muslim bash...Where have all the gay bashing threads gone. I actually am suprised, either people are finally becoming more tolerant or the RRWNJs have all given up on posting.

It's a shame that you can't see what that particular issue is all about, but then when you live on the left coast you have to be PC because of the number of "them" living around you.

Just in case you don't understand, and I suspect that is the case, Christians tend to follow the Bible and the Bible indicates that being gay is a sin. God hates all sin, so in that reference he hates the sin that permeates the Gay lifestyle. Further, he doesn't hate the sinner but ony the sin.

And again, Fred Phelps does not represent Christianity.

[gblowfish]

They're all too busy building holding pens in the new Patriot Act re-alignment camps for all the Non-Christian, Non-Born Again, Non-White, Non-Wealthy, Non-Straight freedom hating lefties who need re-educating in the new world order.

Did I say that out loud?

Gay bashing my ass.

This reminds me of one of the things that jAZ laments losing in this country: Honest debate. You can't have an honest debate about gays or muslims because everything said about them you take as though the folks at CP are the goddam Phelps clan.

[penchief]

It's because democrats don't hold power. If they did, 80% of the threads would be started by disgruntled "ideologues" on the right.

Believe me, if Clinton were in office the conservative nation would be on call 24 hours-a-day. They'd be pointing out everything from legitimate concerns to partisan personal attacks. Rush, Bill, and Sean would make sure that the pot got stirred.

No matter what the true believers on the right-wing want to convince us of, the Atwater/Rove personal destruction machine has been the vehicle of success for Cheneyburton (that and their wisdom of appealing to the base emotions of the masses (ala compassion, morality, and nationalism)).

They started in on Clinton while he was in power. And, even though they presently own power, they still practice their well financed efforts to destroy the personal character of their opposition.

The more power they get the more cocky they get.

The flaw in your comparison is intent.

Clinton was a dupe. I mean, com'n. Monica hugs him on national television like they're having an affair. Everybody who saw that said to themselves, "what was that all about?"

Then she saves the cum-covered dress?

Then that hag, Linda Tripp, "secretly" records a conversation with the "victim."

Then the Starr brigade entraps him with a question like, "other than Paula Jones, have you ever had another affair?"........D-U-H!

It really is too bad they couldn't have just nailed him for Whitewater and saved us all the trouble.

The difference is that Cheneyburton had this whole damn thing planned from the start. The Axis of Evil has been a self-fullfilling prophecy. Just ask the Energy Task Force, if you're allowed.
