See what I mean by weak troll game?  Consistency is key.  Can't get tripped up so easily, lol.

Isn't it amazing that when a disruptor shows up, folks' "antennas" immediately focus upon him/her?

And... the disruptor "becomes the subject" of whatever thread he/she is in?

I don't play that game.

Then it's obvious AF you don't know the first thing about conservatives, because you don't know any.  Sonny, you are in the wrong place, unless you are here to troll, and if that's the case, let me be the first to wave "farewell" because you aren't going to last here.

@BlueHammer

Lmao, well, how cute is this.  Somebody thinking he's gonna be all edgy by posting on a conservative forum.  Going to shock us and shake us up, huh?

What are you, one of those fossils from Democratic Underground?  Does that place still even exist?

You're going to have to up that troll game.  It's weak.

don't know......never been there......

I was a registered republican until the tea party showed up......realized I was running with a flock of dinosaurs

I'm actually a moderate .... which looks like a communist to you all here.

that's exactly what people who portray the dunning-kruger will try to convince others of

"portray the dunning-kruger"?  What an odd way to use that concept.  Almost like you are lacking in self-awareness.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.

I'm a generally happy person, too.  I worked a full life, doing what I really liked to do, and now I'm retired. 

Why do leftists think we're all miserable?  What kind of wild fantasies do they have about us on the right?  And, the constant lecturing, giving us all that goodness they carry/spew from on high.  We should all be proud to be lectured by the likes of @BlueHammer.
I know this is an older post, but remember Leftists are the ones who see society's rules not as keeping society liveable, but as standing in the way of what they want to do.
I found it amusing that the same one who accused me of wanting to keep women "barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen..." (how booringly cliche') also accused me of making 'sweeping generalizations'.
You see, the biggest problem leftists have is that they believe their own bullsh*t. When the world doesn't match their expectations based on that BS, they are unhappy. In keeping with the philosophy of 'if they can't have it,no one will' they seek to make others (their) equal--equally miserable--because their concept of equality almost always includes stripping things to the lowest common denominator.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Oh Goodness!

Don't tell me the online fans are all taking a knee too now?
My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

No.

You are a half-witted troll among intellectual giants.

Give it up, boy.  The harder you try, the dumber you reveal yourself to be.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

I can only speak for myself. I see a disconnect in people who can recite statistic after statistic about every player and playoff but consider politics too complicated and don't even know who their congressional representatives are.

Really, since the days of Fran Tarkenton, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Sonny Jurgenson, and Super Bowls expressed in Roman numerals that only had a couple of characters, I haven't been so fascinated with the game. I have had other things to devote my energies and time to.
