What got you into talking /interested in politics?


When the girlfriends dad comes to visit for his two week stay, he will watch CNN and MSNBC all day long. The minute I get home it goes on to sports as he knows I hate hot political talk.
So, what got you into talking/ arguing about politics?

The dinner table. My earliest memory was the Nixon Kennedy debates. Then in 64 while walking with the parents I noticed the look of distress on their face as we rushed by the one house with a Goldwater sign.
In high school a lot of hot girls liked politics. That's the real reason I doorbelled for McGovern.
Now I like to argue. -

Speaking broadly, I don’t like politics – at least how it is practiced today. Most of politics is ignoring basic economic facts, history, science and math. And then there is the lying, primarily from the left, but plenty on the right. I’m a libertarian leaning conservative. I have no interest in running your life. But those on the left have a great interest in running my life.
I’m interested in history and the future of this country because foremost it affects me and my family. Therefore, I enjoy arguing with facts and first principles. Both of those are like salt to a slug for leftards. It’s difficult for a leftard to argue from first principles if they are “free sh*t” and power. It’s quite interesting on any political board I’ve been on that leftards don’t even try to defend key positions like affirmative action or the fraud of global warming. Get one to define “black” for purposes of AA. Ask how much should we spend on global warming and what it will accomplish. Crickets. Then try arguing with Dan Rather about the fake TANG memos or anything that hondo is promoting. Why Dan Rather wants to be functionally indistinguishable from hondo is beyond me.
Why anyone supposedly interested in politics listens to the fake news that comes from CNN or MSLSD is also beyond me. I don’t lie and don’t like to be lied to. With leftards it’s their prime purpose.

I got into politics when I was at the Central Tavern in Seattle and Tiny Freeman (RIP I think) was there getting hammered and he at the time was a Republican candidate for senate.
About the same time the Buffalo party and the OWL parties were laughingly running candidates. Also, I was with soon to be one of the Mrs. and she was friends with the head of NOW who was a bloody commie. I argued politics with her all the tim.
Seriously, I used to walk into the NOW house just north of UW and ask the girls if they had dinner ready for me. Most of them were dykes and I am lucky I survived or so I was told later.

This is the only thing I can find on the Buffalo party - doesn't say much about when they fizzled out but I have friends that were at the convention.

Pretty much through osmosis growing up in Sacramento.
And I really don't like politics, pretty apathetic to it all, but the amount of common sense dumb fuckery recently has been reason enough to defend myself.
I say defend myself because living in California I've been attacked by people close to me for simply saying, "I don't mind Trump".
Furthermore some of the smartest people I know haven't been able to look objectively at ANY issue and at some point the condescending bullshit needs to be called out. It's scary how many people I respect are blinded by hate and incapable of having a legitimate conversation. -

I think it’s because I hate people.

I worked with a hard core conservative dude who listened to Rush and Micheal Savage and shit. Lot of long car rides and her say nonsensical shit to me like "it's proven that cutting taxes brings in more revenue to the government". So I'd research it. He also was ultra religious, hated gay people and thought women who had abortions should be thrown in jail.
Needless to say he'd fit in here. Except he loved the SEC and the Yankees. -

Who here regularly listens to Rush or Savage? I don't. Hardly ever watch Fox News. Keep phu*cking that strawman.

The TUFF! Tug Tavern obviously.

I prefer to read before I post. You seem to use the hondo method.

To be fair, I mentioned it. Although I was talking about my co worker. So he got that wrong.CirrhosisDawg said:

And yes now says, it's more Brietbart and daily caller rather than AM radio. But it's all literally the exact same information, just different format. -
So you worked with a "dude" that was a "her" and you took long car rides together and "he" thought women should be thrown in jail if they have an abortion?2001400ex said:I worked with a hard core conservative dude who listened to Rush and Micheal Savage and shit.

What a dumbass. After all that ass tonguing Hondo has done for you and you don't even both to read the bullshit he spews.

I worked with a hard core liberal that would listen to the View and Joy Reid and Brian Stelter and shit. And this chick who was really a guy that was having a sex change operation and I would take short bus rides and walks together and she'd say nonsensical shit to me like "Social Security didn't exist back in the 1950s" and "The debt isn't growing because of SS or Medicare" and "it's a documented fact that Trump's team met with a Russian team to discuss giving DNC emails and Hillary emails to Trump." So I'd research it. He also was a pathological liar that hated Jews and thought blacks still couldn't drink out of public water fountains in the 1970s and the Covington kids got what they deserved and Jessie Smolletts really was assaulted white MAGA hat wearing guys.2001400ex said:I worked with a hard core conservative dude who listened to Rush and Micheal Savage and shit.

I think hondo and bob should automatically be transferred to separate thread where they can go tow to toe.
