Frank has made himself a target rich environment.  ^-^

Conservatism has always had a conflict between libertarians and social conservatives, at least since I've been alive. But not really this starkly before.

It's funny because there are a bunch of porn stars on Twitter who claim to be "conservatives" like Jenna Jameson. Interesting times I guess.

We've passed that point.

If you have someone on ignore, why continue to talk about them or engage them in any way?

I saw a funny quote recently calling a lot of them 'Instagram Libertarians'. They are Libertarian in principle- they want government to butt out of almost everything. But they want to be Instagram famous and the LP doesn't have enough followers.

What's funny about it? They run legal money making enterprises i.e.; they work for a living. Those are solid people in my book. Just because a bunch of church ladies get the vapors over their legal profession doesn't mean squat with me. I think churches shouldn't be tax exempt because most of them are political action groups anymore. I'm sure they don't like that either.

You were active on FR in the early 2000's correct? Way different atmosphere in conservatism at that time.

My points of view are so strong and relevant that the sites ignore software can't fully delete my posts from threads.

Yeah and I also voluntarily voted for Bush and bought a new Northstar Cadillac DTS......things I would never think of doing today. Times change. You learn things. You adjust.

Except I am doing it slowly over a 20 year span based on experience. You are doing it every half hour based on whatever panic piece some MSM outlet is vomiting out.

Ahhh, that's why it didn't work for me.

[Frank Cannon]

I'm not worried. In a half hour you will agree with my statement.

I will agree with you when you say something I agree with. I do not believe in wholesale disagreeing with someone, or writing off everything they say.

So yes.

Here's the problem Jackson. Child pornographers, met producers and assassins for hire are breaking the law. Dennis Hof is providing a legal service. He is also successful at it. He knows how the real world works. He is who should be in our party legislating. On the other hand you love people like John Kasich who is so out of touch with the real world that he has to keep talking about a dead relative that had a govt' job to tell people he knows about the real world.

@Frank Cannon thanx for the clarification on the "legal services" distiction
So would you prefer an abortion doctor, a serial killer defense lawyer, a telemarketer for the church of satan, or the guy who runs the internet cannibal forum to John Kasich because Kasich is out of touch?

Well an abortion doctor, cannibal and defense lawyer would be as Leftist as Kasich and at least the Church of Satan telemarketer would talk less about how Jesus made him support Obamacare, unlike Johnnie.

Abortion proponents don't fly with my line of thinking, we have enough lawyers in DC already, telemarketers are annoying little bleep, so I'm going with the internet forum operator, as long as he's more conservative than John Kasich which isn't really difficult to achieve.

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

You have me on ignore to stay blissfully ignorant, but you comment on what I post. See a problem there?

Yes.  The forum software still shows posts from those on ignore when they are quoted by another poster.

[Frank Cannon]

Yes.  The forum software still shows posts from those on ignore when they are quoted by another poster.

It also states the name of the quotee on the top. You are telling me that the poster is so vapid as not to realize the quoted post is from someone they are ignoring and can't ignore it on their own?

No.

I'm telling you that I am so vapid as not to realize the quoted post is from someone I am ignoring and can't ignore it on my own.

Hey there, @RoosGirl - just saw this question and thought I should answer it, since you're bright and clever and I like you.  ^-^

I've had said poster on Ignore for months and this is the first I've "engaged" in what he's said (and the last).   It's not something I do, generally speaking.

In this case, I was pinged to his mockery by @Once-Ler , and thought I should respond to him and also let others know that when said poster mocks me for my opinions on morality, seriously and inoffensively stated, as he is wont to do, that I won't be responding, and that perhaps he might stop making a fool of himself in response. (Dreaming, I know).

But to the point of this thread, anyone who believes that any pimp anywhere is innocent of crimes and not a sex trafficker, has clearly just fallen off the proverbial turnip truck.

And anyone who has even a modicum of concern for the victims of trafficking should run far away from supporting these so-called 'businessmen.'

Hope that helps answer your question.  Sorry I took so long to respond, but I left the thread, as I will again after responding to your post.

I like this guy. He owns a business and works in the real world, something many GOP legislators know nothing about i.e.; Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

Although the alleged assault reportedly occurred in 2005, the unidentified woman didn’t report the incident until two years later, saying she had previously "acted like it was all okay" but "was tired of being hurt" and wanted to stand up for herself, according to the paper.

Metzger denied the sexual encounter to Lyon County police and said she “never saw any girl get sexually assaulted.” She also claimed she only met Hof once.

Hof took 43 percent of the vote earlier this month in beating out incumbent Assemblyman James Oscarson (R).

According to the publication, the account is just one of multiple allegations that have been made against him, including two other detailed sexual assault claims made by two former sex workers in 2009 and 2011.

[musiclady]

Of course there have been assaults.

I repeat...... anyone who thinks a guy in this vile “profession “ is innocent is in serious denial of the degradation of abuse and crime perpetrated as a matter of course in pimping.
