Scrollbar, let me make something clear to you moving forward.
This is a conservative website for conservatives. Most of us have been heavily involved for years in the "free exchange of ideas with people like you. Most of us have determined that among your ideological comrades, there is no genuine discussion to be had, and that the attempt is all but worthless.
You're welcome to stay for now. Just know that any defense of Leftism or Leftists is viewed here as defending that which is indefensible, and will be treated as such.
I for one have determined that exchanging ideas with Leftists is an utterly worthless endeavor, unless the discussion is your unconditional surrender to the constitution and the restoration of the republic.
We're patriotic americans, or, what you and your ilk refer to as "right wing extremists".
We have nothing to discuss.
This post bothers me for a few reasons, but I'll start with the 1st one, and that's the blanket broad brush comparison of liberals and left thinkers. We aren't all alike, just as I don't think all conservatives are the same.
Two. I enjoy the position of defending the ... and to quote you... "indefensible". I welcome opposing view points, this is why I joined this forum. Going to a liberal site where I can sit there and agree with people all day is a boring idea to me. Also the notion that left views are indefensible is a tad arrogant, and completely your point of view. Not factual.
Three. The constitution. The US constitution is an amazing document, and I think most-if not all-free countries in the world owe some sort of their freedoms to it. It's a a great document that inspired others like it. It's also important to divorce the idea of the constitution from certain conversations, as the two are mutually exclusive. A lot of modern day issues can't be solved by the constitution because they're problems that the founding fathers couldn't possibly have envisioned. This is why it has amendments.
Fourthly, your strawman at the end of your post where you say patriotic Americans are "right wing extremists" in the eyes of my... "ilk". What you're saying here, by extension, is that patriotic Americans are right wingers, ipso facto, left wingers are NOT patriotic. This is a strawman and insulting. I'm sure you can find tens of thousands of soldiers in the US army who are liberal and putting their lives on the line for their country. Perhaps you could ask them how patriotic they are?
If you aren't interested in engaging me in enlightened and honest debate that's fine, it's your decision.
Why? you got something better to do. He's sitting there reading and not posting. He might be out of gas.Loosen up and let him exchange his ideas and see where it goes. He can't really defend his countrys tax system so I don't get why he would defend Bambi.
I can't respond to every post here... I am in the vast minority. If I tried to keep up with every zinger directed at me I'd have to quit my job and live on my socialist paradise wellfare!
