That depends where the center is. If it is where the public at large is, yeah I'm just left of moderate. If it is compared to this board I'm Karl Marx along with 97% of the American people.

Wait so you're saying this board is far right? Compared to what? BuzzFeed? Huffington Post? The majority of things said on here are normal right leaning talking points. Poll after poll after poll shows the right pretty much has stayed still on the political spectrum while it's been the left that is moving far left and a very quick pace.

I mean you have people on the right praising Trump all the time. Trump is one of he most liberal Republican presidents we have ever have. While on the left it seems like it's a race between everyone who has declared for running for the presidency, on who can go the furthest left.

Also if you consider yourself center-left. Why come with the charade of you being a "republican"?
 
It's not a big deal, how far off the political spectrum you all are is the reason your ideology will be gone within our lifetimes. I can see why it is so hard for you all to picture just how abnormal your beliefs are. They're having their dying breath and that's fine. It's best to let you all work this out of your system and have your fantasies of liberals being slaughtered and nonwhites being moved out of the country so adults can take over again eventually.

The Republican part is only because I was young and dumb once and registered Republican. I grew up eventually.

It wasn't that long ago you were calling yourself a republican on here though.

Anyways I'm curious on what leftist policies you agree with.

Abortions through all 9 months?
Open borders?
Abolish ICE?
No such thing as sex?
GND?
Socialism?
Reparations?

I feel like all of those are main stream talking points on the left now.
 
What year did you see the light?
I appreciate you asking. It was gradual while I was in college at UK. Gay marriage was one of the huge reasons why at the time. Gay people weren't commonly out in eastern ky. I became friends with people who are gay at UK and started wondering why the Republican party was so ardently against it. I became a lot less religious and that was a large part of the right wing identity as well.

I would call myself more democrat than republican but I don't agree with any of the above items duke. Maybe it's time to reconsider. There is no doubt the Dems solution to Trump is to move further left, which is the last thing we need. Trump may go down in history as the dude who singlehandedly ended the democratic party as we have known it.
 
Guys paying attention to Cohen is a missed opportunity. You could be learning about how to survive post human civilization!
 
I'm still registered as a republican. It comes up because I have to explain it once a day that I'm the definition of a RINO.

Abortions through all 9 months? - no, not once the fetus is viable. And I don't think that is mainstream within the democratic party.
Open borders? - nor is this mainstream. Just smarter enforcement than a wall that is only being fought for since it was a campaign promise.
Abolish ICE? - no
No such thing as sex? - just that it is a separate thing from gender.
GND? - i think that it is unrealistic and I've talked about not supporting Bernie or people like him over people like Obama or Hillary.
Socialism? - everything left of complete abolition of taxes gets labeled socialism
Reparations? - funny chappelle sketch

Nonwhites moved out of the country? See, that’s why no one takes you seriously, and you lied about your political leanings in order to manipulate your viewpoint.
Oddly, that’s a common thing for people on the left, they can’t just argue their point, they know it’s f*cked up, they try to manipulate people.
When you’re on solid ground there’s no need to do that.

Ya and I've always enjoyed your posts on here. You seem like the normal Democrat from the 90s and 2000s.

I personally think Democrat party is leaving people like you behind. I think they're going so far left to pander to minorities and the younger generation, while betting a good chunk of classical liberals will just follow them because of the D next to their name.

I think it's crazy I can come up with a list like that, and not just be taking those ideas from far left blog sites. All of those things have been backed by multiple Dems who are running or considering running for president.

So you think the same things 95% of the people on here do, you do realize that Trump wasn’t arguing solely for a wall. However, to act like a wall wouldn’t severely lower the numbers coming in is silly. It already has where installed, and elsewhere around the wall as well.
The democrat party is the one running on open borders, reparations, abolish ice, GND, and abortions up to 9 months. The gender nonsense is just that, it’s a mental disorder, instead of encouraging it, those people need help.

I do find your posting history here strange though...in 2016/2017 identifying as a moderate republican, then today saying you grew up eventually...I imagine you recently graduated from college, just piecing things together...

Also weird that you mentioned you were pro Obama yet he was opposed to gay marriage until it became hip enough to be for it, yet you seemingly despise Trump and he was for gays in the military and marriage in the early 2000s.

It's cool - but somewhat odd math.

Abortions: not mainstream for the party? Explain the bill after bill being written and some being passed by Democratic politicians to legalize this then.

Open Borders: again not mainstream? Beto has talked about tearing down all borders, Gillibrand didn't say no to this idea, Keith Ellison wears shirts that say no borders, California is a sanctuary state. I just named 2 presidential candidates, a high ranking Democrat and the Democrat ideal state.

No such thing as sex: the congresswoman from Minnesota said there is no difference between biological female and males. They want high schools to allow trans people to play whatever sport they want and shower in whatever bathroom because there is no difference between the sexes.

Socialism: it's not like I'm claiming taxes above 15% is socialism. Two of the biggest names in the left call themselves socialists.

Reparations: Kamala Harris and Warren both say they are for reparations. There are two Democrats running for the presidency that are on record saying they're for it. I'm sure if you ask Gillibrand she will say yes as well.

I hate to break it to you, but these are mainstream talking points for your party now.

Sex and gender are two different things. do tell please.

I'm probably one of the least religious people on here and I don't gaf about gays getting married. There are much more important issues. Core principles that you appear to share with us are being attacked by democrats. I think you're just young, inexperienced a bit rebellious, and trying to fit into the liberal college culture.
 
The federal government shouldn't be involved in marriage. Period.

I was/am opposed to gay marriage simply because the federal government needs to get out of that business, not expand it.

The loony toon lefties have already eliminated genders, and promote pedophilia, so I dont want to know what next frontier they'll be fighting on for marriage expansion.
 
Just another independent lurker who has been on Catpaw since 2006 and the believing fake collusion shit finally set you over the edge to post.

Not Gitmo.
Not IRS.
Not Fast and Furious.
Not Benghazi.
Not Bernie's primary.
Not Hillary's emails.
Not Kavanaugh.

No posts until November 6, 2018.
Ha! In fairness to me, I used to post more in the aughts and don't know why older posts don't show up. Regardless of my conservative beliefs, I know that if I don't sell my soul to support Trump then I am considered a liberal on this board, but I promise that this tweet best describes my current political views.

I have to push back on this some (not the tweet, I agree with that 100%). But I've praised Trump many times and I've also bashed him many times on here (especially over his spending, him signing the latest spending bill and the national emergency), I've voiced my frustrations with Trump a good amount. I'm also a Duke fan from California. Yet I don't think anyone here has considered me or called me a liberal.

Let's start with polygamy that is an easy one.. Soon some will argue why does the government have the right to deny more than one husband or wife to consenting adults. Actually they are already arguing that.

The left's position is to destroy the American society as founded and practiced since the founding of our nation. They believe America was founded by white gay hating Christians and must be destroyed once and for all.
 
Haha ya like that peaceful transition of power between the Democrats to Trump that we saw after 2016....
That should never ever again happen in our country, but I'd be lying if I said a small part of me almost wishes Trump would do it to them to give them a taste of their own medicine because of the hell they are putting the country through.
