katsaris: "Where is THEIR vote?" (Politics)
[personal profile] katsaris
Over at rantburg.com (political forum, largely populated by American warhawks and conservatives), had a brief funny exchange today which I will save here for posterity:

Other guy:

It's sad that commie-loving Democrats reduced the Reagan administration to having to fund the Nicaraguan freedom fighters via parts sales to Iran. If not for Democratic sympathy for the Sandinista Communists, Iran-Contra would never have happened.

Of course, if Carter had shown a little more backbone, the Shah would still be in power, and Iran would not be sponsoring terrorist groups against us or continuously threatening our oil supplies. Just another one of the reasons I am glad Carter remains a one-term ex-president.

Me:

Of course, if Carter had shown a little more backbone, the Shah's advanced cancer would have magically disappeared. He would still be in power I tell you!! And the people of Iran would have converted to Christianity. And Panathinaikos would have won in Greece's Soccer league.

Why, commie-loving Democrats??? Why are you doing this to us?

*snicker*

Yeah, not the most argument-laden political position I've ever taken, but still... :-)

Interesting

Sorry not to respond in a while. Interesting comments. I haven't doen much seriously in the politcial realm beyond my support for same sex marriage and even my cartoons are not as common.

I was talking with my friend, Lt Kanios and his mother, who is the standard traditional Greek matriarch, and I wa spicturing you two having a conversation, and the image wasn't exactly a pleasant discussion over coffee type dialogue :)

Panathinaikos win?!?!

Ari hi,
it is more probable Iranians convert to Christianity,
than Panathinaikos to win in Greece's soccer league... and I am a Panathinaikos fan :-(

cheers,
