Axis of Idiots

“That's awesome! ROTF!”

“sour puss”

“““Wax on................wax off”

Brazilian?”
Nigal

Swedes go Brazilian!!”

“Now there are more conservatives and they don't feel like being 2nd class citizens to the TT elitest.

Hyway to Hell

Sorry pal, years ago there were a lot more people spewing "Ditto Head-isms" beatin' hell outta liberals.

Before the 2000 election there were plenty of people trashing Kleenton and anyone who supported him.

After years of Dubya they now realise how good we all had it and many of them have changed their tune.
Some are sorry for their early support of Dubya.

There were more conservatives, and they were more vocal in the late '90s early '00s.
Some have drifted away........some have shut their pie holes somewhat, and we are left with the Axis who routinely hose this board with their evil.....< BFG >

In the years since 2000 many of us have become acquainted with one another and become friends and have moved backpacking to the front burner and FUEGO to the rear.

When I first came here about ten years ago I was new to the internet and these online pissin' matches were a hoot.
I had no idea that so many politically conservative people would be into backpacking then.”

“LOL! MarkO trying to say trailtalk was conservative until a few years of Dubya. LMAO!”

“Well you wouldn't know, sonny, you've only been here a few years.”

“Well, sonny, I've spent enough time looking at old threads (which surface daily) to know.

Here is 1 from today ... http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/thread/16118,-1.php

Oh, and here is another, from today ... http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/thread/23916,-1.php

“At times it was like the Lush Rimjob Show here on TT.

I was beaten savagely.....................but I didn't die.................


you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive”

“That's gaynor.”

“Thanks for proving my point, Sarge.

I read the first page of that thread from September '02.

Like I said, some of those neo-cons hardly post anymore....
Stratdewd
Ice Tea
Donman
.....and those who still do aren't around as much.

And thanks again...
That page from 09/02 was somewhat spirited but not nearly as ugly as some of the current crap from The Axis.”

“There is plenty more of libs acting hateful, like you do, back then. Plenty.”

“That's one thing that surprised me, seeing as how Republican land use policies (selling whatever to whomever for whatever they can get) is antithetical to preserving places to actually go backpacking.

Mountaintop removal, relaxed air and water quality standards.... the list goes on and on.  YES, I know Democratic politicians are just about as bad, and I raise Hell at them ALSO.  The only reason I usually vote for Democrats is because Republicans are worse.  Democrats cave in bit by bit whereas Republicans hold a fire sale.

I remember an article in BP about ten years ago about the acceleration of urban expansion colliding with National Parks and Forests, and all the these wackos came out of the woodwork on the website frothing at the mouth about environmentalists.  Sure, let's sell off more National Forest; we need to exdpand the almighty Tax Base.

I've said it before --- If you don't want wild habitat to be preserved, by all means stick to the concrete and asphalt.  Take your hikes at the Mall.”

“Those are the guys I remember. I remember when I first joined that there were very few conservatives. When ever they said something they were attacked by herds of leftists all trying to out funny the other leftist in their attacks on conservatives. But that was the good ol fun days of TT. I had fun when conservatives were a tiny minority on TT, and I have fun now that there's more of us (probably still are a minority). Its just when you guys get back what you gave so much of for so many years that it isn't fun for you.

Ice tea was a kid, barely old enough to wipe his own ass. You should be ashamed of some of the things yall said to him

Stratdewd would have kissed any of your asses too keep from being kicked out of your club. I remember one of the first threads I saw was a bunch of personal attacks against strat because of his opinion. I started to defend him and he stopped me and said yall were just funning. More of that 'yes massa, sir, thanks for letting me be the house nigga'

I don't remember much about donman.”

“"I had fun when conservatives were a tiny minority on TT."

Conservatives were never a tiny minority on TT.

Father Goose
Bacpac
Prosecutor
Phil
.....to name a few more.

Ice Tea only got what he dished out, HyWay.

"Ice tea was a kid, barely old enough to wipe his own ass."

Dude, you ought to be ashamed for saying something so condescending about our boy!!

"Stratdewd would have kissed any of your asses too keep from being kicked out of your club."

Have you lost some marbles?
Ask Stratdewd if he would kiss ass like YOU say he would.
He got handled about as roughly as he handled others.

I'll say things have gotten somewhat schittier in recent years.
In September 2002 there were many thousands of Americans and Iraqis yet to be murdered and mangled.
Perhaps that has caused some to vituperate so since that idyllic time.”

“Hyway - but the people putting out the crap today aren't even really conservative - they are just 'libby' haters and baiters - not the same thing.

Most conservatives on here seem to have at least a little backing and substance to their views - but the three biggest offenders just seem to want to attack 'liberals', parroting what they hear on talk radio almost word for word.”

“diff was that strat was usually on his own while the other side was numerous. You just don't like that the numbers are less one sided and you get called on the #&%!$ you say to others instead of a slap on the back by fellows who agree with you. If you stick to attacking sarge for being a pompous, holier than thou, never forget a slight person then so be it he has it coming. But when you attack him for holding his positions then you attack me for holding the same ones.”

“If you stick to attacking sarge for being a pompous, holier than thou, never forget a slight person then so be it he has it coming.

Hyway. I haven't attacked you personally, this was completely unprovoked. This is extremely hypocritical. You have no business attacking me personally like this.

Right after you just got through condemning hate speech from Buddha Bear.

“You are flat out wrong, HyWay.

Conservatives were never a tiny minority here.

I don't recall "conservatives" raking "libbies" over the coals back then with FUEGO threads like we see so much of now.

And it wasn't so much "them and us" years ago.

We have The Axis to thank for that.”

“Are you crying?”

“as for backpacking, me and stickmanwalking are out on the trail every weekend, acting as consultants for the Sweedish Women's Backpacking Team.”

That's what I'm talking about!!”

“Difference was, stratdewd and Ice Tea were people that I truly liked. Arguing with people when you could almost read the chuckle was fun. I'd hang with either of them any day. A couple of the Axis members appear to be truly despicable people.”

“Unlike you, right?”

“Funny, there sure is a whole lot of pointing fingers on this website.

I don't recall actually doing anything in the last 2 years that deserves all this attention, but thanks!

What was the phrase? ... "never forget a slight"

LMAO! Can you say "hypocrites" boys and girls?”

“Actually I wasn't talking about you, but if you have some need to feel persecuted, go right ahead.”

“Ice Tea is no longer conservative.

Nonconformist is a conservative, gun lovin', capitalist free-market lovin' dog. But we get along, mainly on a mutual hate for walmart, and the fact that we only date extreme hotties.”

“I prefer the term "conservitudinal tendencies." And we only get along because you never come to visit, lol. (kidding, of course) As for the hotties: true dat!


PS: you missed a great PicRocks trip this past weekend....maybe we'll see you at the end of Oct?”

“Actually I wasn't talking about you

Great! I'm glad you don't feel I'm truly despicable. That's truly comforting.”

“I don't think I ever saw anyone actually "seethe" with hate until Bill Clinton took office (and some are still seething).  I guess a lot of it was Fux Newz, Limbaugh and the radio clones pouring gasoline on the fire, but I never realised how crazy the "draft-dodging druggie" thing could make them....

But look what they replaced Clinton with!  

What was the real issue?  Tax cuts?  It certainly wasn't the one that was advertised.


So what happened here?  Seems like over the last six years, as more corrupt Republicans were busted and the war went downhill, the nastier they became.  Like I said after the '06 election, why take it out on us?  It was the people they voted for that screwed the pooch 75 different ways.

I can see how they might be upset at the Republican Leadership.... They had all three branches of the federal government Sewed Up, and they blew it.”

“marko, fine, then attack the people you think are causing trouble for being trouble makers. But when you use their conservative beliefs to trash them then you are trashing me, as well.”

“Thirdterm really hits the nail on the head. (rolls eyes)”

“Ha! This is truly awesome. The more people argue about how TT isn't the TT of old they make it just like the TT of old. This is the same type of crap that has always gone on.

“Don't shoot the messenger ---

Yeah, we rubbed it in....  But it would have been less enthusiastic if we hadn't been accused of treason for pointing out flaws in Presidential Judgement.”

“Yeah, we rubbed it in.... But it would have been less enthusiastic if we hadn't been accused of treason for pointing out flaws in Presidential Judgement.

That's the mistake that most live with Third T. You think the faults of your opposing view are unique only to them and all the good qualities you see in your own political view are unique only to them.

Politics is the new religion and like the sects of religion everyone thinks their's is the right way to go.”

“Feet of Clay, here.   No Doubt about it.”

“Are you the third piper from Hamlin--what is that herd following you?”

“Libbies are so silly.

Vile and tiltypoo are insane.”

“Insane people are libbies.”

“The problem is that the rules say don't attack the person attack their positions, which means you are attacking everyone with that position. Which means you are attacking me if I have that position. You force me to align with people I would rather not. Even worse, you align yourself with people I think are disgusting hateful people.

Start attacking the Person for being who they are and not for what they believe.

If you make a fopaux, just say mea culpa and move on instead of defending your self to the last dying breath. Like the wetback thread. If one of the "axis" crowd had posted that the usual subjects would have been all over them about stereotyping. If Tree would have just said, "My Bad, maybe I shouldn't have done that" then we wouldn't have had the hilarious thread full of leftist defending the use of wetback and righties demanding politically correct speech. If you can't see the humor in that then you must have had a guilty conscious about your position in that thread.

Then there was Buddha's Brittney Spears parody thread about Stove. personally I didn't think it was funny because of it's lack of humorous content. It was small potatoes, but the same thing happened. People who would have cried foul if it had been done by a conservative about liberal thought it was hilarious because it attacked stovie and bush at the same time.

the ruckus caused by XLs joke about the dog blowing chunks that upset Sass could have ended if he had just said mea culpa and moved on instead of defending himself against all comers (especially against a man defending his wife). Even with that it could have ended when Sass ended it by saying just drop and and lets move on (very big of that girl, no wonder carry such a flame for her. But don't tell birch, I would like to go one breathing for a while longer). Instead, a third party (whom I think is thirdterm) kept the heat on XL instead of letting it drop. ok ok, I know I am guilty of that at times too. mea culpa, lets move on :) The difference is that Sass never participates in TT lynchings while others do (such as Treebeard using the wetback thread as an example) so she shouldn't be used that way.”

“why won't you let the wetback thread drop, hyway?”

“ya jus say me uh kulpa an moove on”

“was that a foe paw?”

“has anyone on the left ever owned up that perhaps, even if slightly, that it might have been inappropriate? I bring it up because it is a perfect example of what I am saying. people lined up on that thread in typical groups, but both sides were arguing opposite of what they usually do. It was perfect example of us against them mentality instead of an issue oriented discussion.”

“Hey, I'm an A-hole.

What's Crash's excuse?”

“i don't think i ever defended it. and i don't think tilt did either. and the "right" might have been fine attacking it if xl didn't use it several times a day with impunity.”
