@Texfield91 Moderate Christians are not cavemen, but most Republicans are cavemen. They actually believe... *lol* in the bible, word for word. They are as stupid as a mentally deficient pig. Ann Coulter springs to mind- a woman so stupid that she should be exiled to Africa.

[Texfield91]

@TheLiberalKnight And BTW, being a Christian does not make you a "caveman".

[Texfield91]

@TheLiberalKnight Hey, man, you don't have to tell me. I'm not a Democrat or Republican, I'm a conservative. And believe it or not, that comment about Anita Dunn came from her personal memoirs, not Fox News. And judging by watching Europe (including your own country) for the past few years, calling American politics the worst is pretty much the pot calling the kettle black.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@Texfield91 Is that the truth, or bollocks you've seen from Fox News? The truth is, the Democrats and Republicans are both terrible. American politics is the worst in the civilized world. Democrats are economically illiterate, Republics are Christian fundamentalist cavemen. All of them are idiots.

@TheLiberalKnight And I used the word leftist because Obama has appoined several radical people to his cabinet. For example, Anita Dunn, the White House Communications Director, said she took her political inspiration from Chairman Mao. Her words, not mine. She is one of many like this in the White House cabinet.

[Texfield91]

@TheLiberalKnight Well I'm sorry I offended you by trying to engage in a conversation. No, we don't think that any instituion that is publicly funded is communism. American conservatives just believ that the government has certain limitations to its power and should focus on the responsibilities stated in the constitution (federal reserve, military, post office, etc.) and should interfere much less in the private sector.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@Texfield91 I'm not interested in talking to an American. Your politics are completely different from the rest of the civilized world. American politics makes me sick. You think that any publicly funded institution is communist.

[Texfield91]

@TheLiberalKnight At least you guys were able to kick out Labour in Britain. We still have leftists running the White House and the Senate over here.
