Politicians who you consider Giant Douche Bags

I find it reprehensible to demean the history of any people for such a petty reason like complaining about one's job. And MT2008, how would you have reacted if someone made such a reference to Stalin's atrocities? Would you be angry?

Don't you think "demeaning" is too strong a word?

Honestly, no. The people I get angry at are the leftist anti-Americans and Che Guevara-T-shirt-wearing morons who seem to be incapable of recognizing atrocities that weren't committed by Nazis, or Americans, or white Westerners in general.

As long as someone isn't an apologist for communist mass-murder, I am not particularly offended. After all, a metaphor comparing one's boss to Stalin, or one's job to the Gulag, is still a metaphor which implicitly recognizes that Stalin was a monster and that the Gulags were horrible. And, likewise, so does MPM's metaphor about Auschwitz.

BTW, what do you think of the phrase "Young Turks"?

You need to catch a clue. MT2008 'thought' that armorers who are mostly conservative would have some "tolerance" for the libtard views. Why? Why should we? In fact, the METAPHOR, which seems to be something I think you need to learn what that is, is the 'forced tolerance' of smiling and biting your lip when faced with someone whose entire thought process is offensive to you.

The most extreme case of having the discipline NOT to strangle the bastard in front of you was the metaphor I described. If you think that using that example of 'keeping your righteous rage bottled in because it is necessary" as somehow marginalizing the Holocaust, then your brain works completely differently than Mine does. People who immediately freak out at things which are not insults are no better than the people who find offense in EVERYTHING.

That's what the libtards do in my experience. I tend NOT to use such metaphors in the presence of 14 yr old girls because they tend to knee jerk react with emotions, prior to actually analyzing what was said. It's stupid to have to anticipate people intentionally misconstruing a comment but it's reality. Let me know if I have to use the same filter here.

Dude, I've let it go. Forget about it.

OK, I guess this topic is getting out of control (and I'm not trying to be holier-than-thou; I know I've contributed to it). I think it's best if maybe I just closed it for now.

In the future, no more topics that are polarizing, please.
