Just wanted to say hi to all members and introduce myself. First of all I was booted off of a certain bicycle forum because I would not give up certain issues in the politics and religion forum so the mods banned me. I just love to talk politics but my main mission is to educate myself in defense of the Obama/ entitlement/ lib/ lefty crowd. I in in dire need of ammunition and education. I have an MBA with a concentration in political administration. Formerly was employed as a plumber for centuries (it seems like). Hence the Rickity Plumber handle. Looking to learn from the pros here!
Welcome to the forum. I got kicked off another forum once too that was ultra strict about political discussions. What was my terrible offense? Asking another poster if they ever posted anything that wasn't partisan. It was really that benign. But this is what we do here. We discuss that kind of stuff. Make yourself at home. There's a lot of good people here. Just for clarity's sake, are you looking to defend lefty policies or defend yourself against them? Just curious. I couldn't quite tell from the way you worded it.
Haw! I been kicked off of worse forums than this one, that's for sure... Welcome aboard Rickity. Give it yer best shot!
To clarify- I would like to defend my position against the Obama crowd. You know, how to tell lefties off.
Cool stuff! Welcome to the forum. First port of call in defending against the entitlement crowd is to realize that it's not so much left vs. right as establishment vs. grassroots. Both sides of politics almost always are in favor of the same policies on entitlements, give or take a few percentage points. Think in ideas and philosophies, not parties and policies
