Was that before or after you advocated emulating Jihadists?

After.

Much after.

Bigly.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I get that people will believe their own lies so that they feel better about themselves and why they believe and do certain things.  But when they expect us to believe their lies it's just perplexing and sad and a hassle.  But, good for you for being willing to call them to task.  It takes effort, but is worth it.
Thanks, @RoosGirl !  It's human nature to want to remember the other person as at fault, whether they were or not. I had deleted my comment, but it had been snagged for posterity. Even so, it was a response, not a provocation. The time stamps set the record straight.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@flowers

Well let me end the mystery for you. Much of it goes in Jim's pocket, some goes in John's pocket, and the change that's left over goes to purchase bandwidth and for equipment maintenance/replacement.

Hope that clears things up for you.
You mean they don't even send out for pizza or chinese or something? Cheapskates.  Wow, such austerity!  :silly:

Today, you're tossing the Noob remark around.   But you were the one squealing like a stuck pig, when I used in on your when you first arrived all full of piss and vinegar.   ...telling me the number of posts you have mean nothing.

Then, the other day, who else but @mystery-ak herself, had to tell you to lay off the newcomers and make them feel welcome.

Again, it was you who ran to get in anyone's face who.....

....treated you exactly the way you were treating them.

Look up 'irony'.

And that makes a call for Jihadist style violence different how exactly?

I'd like to see exactly these posts where you allegedly called me a " nOOb".

I had no real interactions with you until I started disagreeing with your cult like fealty to Trump and the nasty things you were saying and continue to say about people that don't worship Trump like you.

"nOOb" never came up in those conversations that I recall.

But hey who am I to burst the bubble on that particular fantasy of yours.

And speaking of fantasy...myst did no such thing  where I'm concerned.

Looks like your imagination is working overtime...yet again.

DC, you're a good enough writer that you shouldn't have to be trumpsplaining yourself all over the place. Just tighten up the rhetoric, willya?

I write 'on the go'.

I communicate on the forum in a conversational style. Too old to change.

Only even here because I'm sick and tired of all you very intelligent people seemingly unable to grasp hyperbole and nuance, and instead, grab one word, and make a backyard squirrel out it.

Don't much like being the 'prey' around here anymore than you would.

I don't see how that applies in the context it was used.

My future has an expanded Republican Party, due to the Democratic Party's shift to the Left, fostering division and class identity politics.

It's a gift from God.   And Donald Trump will be the beneficiary.  The shrill SOCON/NT will not be in any position to dictate the platform/agenda.

They can add their two cents just like everybody else.

Where else are they going to go with their vote?   The moderate DEM came running to Donald Trump.   And will continue to do so.

That's what I meant, @CatherineofAragon  ^-^

Good post there.  I would only add that the Party needs to make sure they aren't losing people out the back flap of the tent as they bring new ones in.  A classic conundrum, and the danger posed when one starts saying STFU to people who have been loyal to the Party their whole lives (and I'm NOT saying you're doing that...pretty much to the contrary).

Nonsense, @INVAR

While the Republican Party will get bloated with Blue Dogs, their grown children will witness the economic and defensive improvements as they get ready to vote for the 1st time.

True...the coming amnesty of sorts...whatever...eventually, those 30 million in the shadows will be voting.

They are the new  elusive 'independent" vote....that 20% that could go supposedly either way.

Again, I say, they've been working and living in the shadows but they're not blind either.

My money is on the Republican Party.

A compassionate conservative party when compared to the Communists on the Left.
