I love the threads that start out "OK Wingnuts" **

I agree. I don't start threads as "OK, secular, fudge-packing dumbasses".

And there's little need. You are either comfortable enough in your convictions to refrain from such nonsense or you nervously post some qualifier in your subject line.

Tit for tat, I suppose, there are any number that start out "OK liberals"

I think it's all pretty stupid. It starts with the assumption that people have picked sides and thus won't look at any situation objectively on a case by case basis.

Of course, that assumption seems to be pretty accurate in many cases too.

Pretty big difference in my opinion.

When its "Liberals, or LDs (Liberal Democrats)", we are actually soliciting for opinions from that selected group. What WJF posted was pretty much spot on as a comparison though.

"OK liberals" isn't the same as "OK Wingnuts", but would be the same as "OK conservatives". No sense in making it derogatory right from the start.

The term "wingnuts" cuts across political lines. Do you seriously....

think I direct it at he same folks that a couple of others on here aim for. You also have to consider if those targeted actually qualify to be described as, "wing-nuts","nut-jobs" and "wacko's". In my opinion those terms fit the likes of RPJ, Keyser76 and Countryroasds89 and a few other sicko's perfectly .
