An activist democrat is defined as one who actively and directly tries to have his beliefs converted into law. I would not constitute and activist Republican, in that I am not an elected official, nor will I be for the near future.

Definition of activist 'politician' is good. So, with any polictician, be it a Republican, Democrat, of Independent, is an activist, because all bill/laws/amendments started as a politicians belief. So, to accuse on side of this is wrong. Since they all, obvisouly do it, or no laws/bills/amendments would come in to being. Correct?

I've written my Senators, Boxer and Fienstein, asking them to oppose the anti-flag buring amendment. Boxer said she would not support the amendment and Feinstein, well her office never got back to me, but she made statements to the effect that she would support such an amendment.
I even went to a worker's rights rally.
Again Omega, you couldn't support your initial statement of all Democrats being stupid law ignoring simpletons...so now you say activists. Not just that, but elected activists. Oh, ok.
You keep doing the Texas backstep.
Those who vote active.

I've changed his definition of 'activist democrat' to being 'activist politician': one that tries changing/making laws/amendments/bills in to something that matches their beliefs.
I needed a standard for Omega and I to use for this activist democrat, and what exactly his meaning was on it.
By his definition, activist democrat is so he can keep his party alligence and make himslef feel better about being a certain party. His definition is biased, for he neglects to see that people in 'his' party are as bad/good as the one he disdains.
You seem to misunderstand me. I'm not saying that being an activist is bad. I'm describing liberal Democrat activists, and stating that they're dangerous.
JK:
I don't need to get a definition from ANYWHERE. I'm trying to tell you what I was talking about when I made the statement in question.
Jay:
"Again Omega, you couldn't support your initial statement of all Democrats being stupid law ignoring simpletons"
A statement which I never made.
But since none of you show no interest in finding out what I was actually talking about, screw the lot of you. Daryus made a big mistake by posting this without even knowing what I was talking about. I would also point out that I did NOT give him authorization to quote me from a private conversation. I simply thought that for once, we might have a chance of having a rational discussion around here, so I didn't complain.
Someone lock this thread. One thing I will not abide by is my own words being twisted, or my intelligence insulted by people claiming to know what I meant when I said something, when they don't even know the context.

And a conservative Republican activist isn't dangerous.... Omega, does this, or does this not, depend on your point of view?
I don't think that I am misunderstanding you, really, but I might be.
Anybody that tries to have their beliefs turned in to a law that effects millions of people is dangerous, no matter what the party. Heck, you can drop that to just a few people being affected.

You guys may as well stop posting, as I have no intention of replying to any point you make, thus giving you more fodder for distortion. This thread dies, one way or another.

"..differences between the Democrats & Republicans when in a heated & empassioned moment he came out with the following:
One's socialist, and disregards the rule of law whenever it's inconvenient. It lies to its constituants, and divides the people against each other."
You didn't say that? Or are you trying to weasel out of your statement? Did Daryus misquote you?
And as to your "A statement which I never made" crap, go read your dictionary and look up paraphrase.
You made a stupid comment that you can't at all defend, much like your general political theories and now you want the thread locked. Intersting.
You've had plenty of opportunity to explain for your own self what you mean, and you can't do it. Or if you can then you write your own post and tell everyone in no uncertain terms and with examples to back it up what you mean.
So stop crying. Oh, wait, you didn't say you were crying...sorry for twisting your words there boyo.

Oh, but just so that I don't insult anyone that I don't mean to insult, the "Screw the lot of you" comment was only intended to apply to those of you who are making no attempt at figuring out what I actually meant by what I said, instead assuming that you automatically know. Those of you who were genuinely confused by Daryus's poor use of a quote, I meant no insult to.

Since Jay seems to be online the same time I am...
Why don't you go look up paraphrase? I'm pretty sure it doesn't contain provisions for actually changing the meaning of that phrase being shortened.
As for the quote, Daryus is quoting me out of context. We were discussing the political parties, not the voters that support them. There's a difference.
I meant what I said. The democratic party is socialist, and is willing to do whatever is nessesary to win, be it lie, break the law, or legislate from a court room.
Now that I've repeated what I was quoted as saying at the beginning of this infernal thread, someone lock the darned thing. Anyone who doesn't get it in language that simple never will.
