who is the smartest leftie and who is the smartiest rightie on fam?

[aubiefifty 18,231]

we should vote on who the "man" is for each side and have a town hall. pick a moderator to ask questions or let members ask their own. have it at a certain time so many of us can enjoy it in the spirit of good ol american debate. i think brad would be great to ask some great questions and i believe he would be more than fair. i am dead serious but being warped i have to add the zinger.........if the righties can find someone smart........lol. no one will do it but it would be fun. have a rule that question have to be answered honestly and no deflections. maybe something along whomever gets the most likes wins and the most negs loses? i would say loof or titan for the left. brad would have been on the list but we need someone who can be fair and impartial. anyone interested? let each side choose their own candidate.

Titan is a true conservative.  More in line with a John Kasich.  He doesn't do stupid and he doesn't buy into the Trumpism philosophy that has morphed the Republican party.

The fact that you didn't know he's a rightie in 2020 should tell you everything you need to know. And, believe it or not, that's not a shot at Conservatives. It really isn't. I add the "in 2020" qualifier very intentionally. The conversation isn't even about conservative or progressive ideals right now. In, say, 2000, I'm guessing there would have been no such ambiguity and we'd all still hold him in the same esteem. 

I find myself regularly educated by him, Dub, Homie and Brad. 

There are others who possess quite a bit of knowledge but do not use said knowledge to form what I would consider intelligent views.

No one in their right mind should like it. It's abhorrent. The approach to eliminating it is what's all screwed up. 

I'm pro-choice, but, as I've said in the past, I could get behind a complete ban on elective abortion if we made a concerted effort to address why women feel the need to have an abortion to begin with.

It will never be a non-issue because there will never be a complete absence of legitimate reasons for women to have them, and there will never be an acceptance by many that legitimate reasons exist. 

But it would sure as s*** be nice if men would shut up and let women have that conversation.

I have been trying to work on the waspy part, mainly by avoiding the worst of the MAGA fools.    (Whoops! )

Seriously I think there are several progressive posters on the forum that are more effective than me, including you, Brad and a couple of relative newcomers.

I get too emotional.

[aubiefifty 18,231]

back on topic. dub you or homie or whomever would be fine. i was leaving that up to majority vote. i just thought it would be fun if done the right way. we could have our own drinking games. what would homie say that would require people to take a drink? what word would mikey use over to get people drinking? just because many of us are ol geezers does not mean we could not have fun with it.

i disagree my fam friend. you normally give most folks a chance if they say something stupid. me? if it is stupid i shoot first and ask questions later. i think in the end if anyone messes up and apologizes for it they are gold.

"AUFamily Bingo" with a variety of popular phrases/key words used on the card. The "loser" is the one who's words/phrases mostly comprise the BINGO. As punishment, one day ban or drink until you can't type. The choice is your's. 😂
