I just bought a T-Shirt from a right wing website.

[Idioteque]

http://www.thoseshirts.com/goldwater.html

I feel kind of bad but the shirt was just too cool.

[Sydnie]

1. that site is horrible

No matter how many times you launder that shirt, it will always be tainted. :puke:

[KyndCulture]

2. ewwwwww

[Bluebear]

3. From the same page . . .

[Swamp Rat]

5. Yeah, imagine...

:puke:

[Stu DeBeouf]

20. I love you Swampy!!!!

n/t

[Swamp Rat]

28. I'm stealing that pic from your sigline!

I didn't know Bushler had joined the club! :D

[Stu DeBeouf]

29. Shit, man!

you punked me with that one.....Caption mine: "Village Idiot People"

[ComerPerro]

27. Yeah, imagine. If there were no liberals,

conservatives would be free to rape this woman all day long and force her to have abortions.

[ClintonTyree]

4. Goldwater would look like a pussy........

compared to this half-assed bunch of chicken-hawks in office now. Personally, I wouldn't wear the shirt. There's nothing funny about conservative stupidity.

[buff2]

6. Why Goldwater?

I am a proud Liberal and I would NEVER buy a shirt from a rightwingnut site,let alone wear it. I need a shower now.... :puke:

[Bluebear]

7. Idiotic, you still there?

[Idioteque]

8. Aye. n/t

[Bluebear]

9. People are wondering why Goldwater?

[Idioteque]

11. I dunno...I just think it's funny.

I'm 18, so it's not like I have fond memories of Goldwater. I barely knew Bill Clinton. Barry Goldwater was an interesting political figure and I just thought it was a cool shirt.

[Ariana Celeste]

12. If it means anything,

I think the shirt is funny. ;)

[Bluebear]

13. Fair enough :)

The Clinton years were pretty awesome, I hope we can all do better and get back to the feeling of those times.

[Poiuyt]

16. There were all kinds of campaign buttons and bumper stickers with

AuH20 back when he was running

[cboy4]

18. Only 18? KEEP AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICANS!!

:yoiks: <------RUN!!!

[Idioteque]

19. It's okay, they won't want me. I'm legal now. ^_^ n/t

[cboy4]

33. :)

:spray:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

44. You still look mighty attractive to Army recruiters

"Look at the way he's dressed. He was asking for it."

[darkism]

45. ZING

You win!

[conscious evolution]

10. That is a

pretty neat way of spelling his name.But I wouldn't be caught dead in it.

[karlrschneider]

15. It's how they "spelled" it in the 1963 campaign.

;-)

[karlrschneider]

14. Barry would be appalled at the current Republican party.

He was a friend of mine and he wasn't an insane neocon. Yes, I know his (in)famous quote about
extremism but nevertheless he was 10000000 times a better person than this current bunch of fascist
assholes.

[ComerPerro]

25. Why? They cut taxes for the rich, give handouts to corporations,

and piss all over the poor.

True Conservatism at its finest.

Goldwater would be proud.

[karlrschneider]

30. Goldwater was not for any of those things.

Neither is true conservatism. I really thought you knew better.

[ComerPerro]

32. "true conservatism" is a load of shit

handouts to the rich at the expense of everyone else.

The more money you have, the better and more valuable you are.

No need for regulation, the magical free market will solve everything.

We can trust CEOs to do the right thing, because they are rich and therefore better.

The best way to help people is by letting private enterprise take care of everything...



Need I go on?

[karlrschneider]

34. Look, I respect you for many reasons but you're too young to recall

what 'conservatives' were 45 years ago, I think. They wanted the federal government to stay out of peoples' bedrooms, a balanced budget, non-intervention in other nations, smaller gov't and to a fair
extent "live and let live." NOTHING like what contemporary "conservatives" support.

Your last point has some validity but there was actually a time when private enterprise behaved in
a decent manner for the most part. In those days, their interests weren't inimical to those of
'regular' people...maybe a little bit but nothing like how it is now.

[ComerPerro]

35. but we can't get caught up pining for true conservatives

because they still want something completely different from what liberals envision.

For example, conservatives were against Roosevelt because of his large government programs.


It sounds noble, but it can never honestly be put into practice.

[karlrschneider]

40. You mean the "New Deal"? Millions of Americans are still benefitting

from that. I'll give you a little tip here, there never were very many 'conservatives' who
complained about the WPA or the PWA when those programs got them jobs. I can tell you from personal
experience that a -lot- of avarice toward FDR was directed his way because he was perceived by some
to be a (sorry to put it this way but it's a fact) a 'nigger lover'...a phrase often used by my own
father who was basically a Nazi racist and whose philosophy I actually embraced to my everlasting
shame up until I got into college and learned better.

[ComerPerro]

41. well, true, when it gets them a job, they're ok

and as for the "Nigger lover" remark...

Don't worry about feeling that way up until you got in college...

Some people, even today, get to college and STILL feel that way...

Its fucking crazy...

[Telly Savalas]

36. Joseph McCarthy's motto was "live and let live"?

[ComerPerro]

42. Unless you are a commie, then you die

[mcscajun]

17. Nothing cool about it.

I wouldn't give a NICKEL to a site that sold shirts that said things like this*:

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity." - Ann Coulter, September 13, 2001.

"99% of Democrats give the rest a bad name."
"I just neutered the cat. Now he's a liberal."
"Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some Assembly Required."

* taken from actual shirts on sale at this site.

x( :thumbsdown: x(

[TahitiNut]

21. They only go up to 3X

Half the 'base' can't get into them. :shrug:

[Idioteque]

23. Poor Denny n/t

[ComerPerro]

22. So if you are such a huge conservative, why do you bother posting here?

You are wasting your time and our bandwidth.

[Cha]

24. What was so "cool" about

the shirt? I feel unclean having gone to that site.

[Clark2008]

26. Why would conservatives wear this?

None of them have served!

[SharonAnn]

31. Wow, I've still got my college notebook with AuH20 bumpersticker!

I was a Chemistry major then and thought it was really cool!

[lonestarnot]

37. I lived through Goldwater and the only thing I remember that he

accomplished were nice pictures of Indians and a mars station he mounted atop the hill on which he his home sat. He used to place overseas calls to GI's for Christmas for free. That's about it. Big woop. Maybe he got a few brownie points for that. Pretty much a waste of time in my repuke book.

[and-justice-for-all]

38. Why would you give them your money? Dont do it again!

[Idioteque]

39. This was a one time thing. I might give some $ to Jim Webb to repent. nt

[and-justice-for-all]

43. Hehehe...nt :-)
