Wave buh-bye to "scrollbar" kids.

That was quicker than getting rid of that anti-Masonic kook LarryH . How do ya do it ?

You go out of town for a few days and look what's happened in the interim. Did someone leave food out overnight?

If you want to invite Canadian visitors, these are the ones you want: www.smalldeadanimals.com

That's a solid site of Canadian conservatives.

I don't want to read 5 more pages of blueboy reincarnated. Anyone have the Reader's Digest version of last night?

It sounded like our Canadian friend thought he know more about American history and our constitution than we do, and proceeded to impress us with his breathtaking lack of knowledge thereof.

It was a relatively quick ~~abortion~~ termination, he should be pleased and grateful for our compassionate response.

I agree with what Trap was saying and if my tooth hadn't been killing me from the drugs wearing off I might have been more accommodating.

This will happen again so we should establish some guidelines (if you don't mind my saying so).

Personally I can tolerate having a lefty around as long as they are respectful. scrollbar was not. But you noticed how he attempted to turn tables and suggest that if anyone took exception to his digs it was our fault? How he deflected and scapegoated when he found himself knee deep in it? That crap won't fly with me for long.

And I am interested in alternate POV but he never presented one. His criticism was focused on our criticism. The further along we went he wouldn't respond in any dialog fashion, but rather like the seminar callers who know their sh!t is outrageous that it's only a matter of seconds before they'll get cut off so they need to rush through it. I seriously doubt that you'd ever get sincerity out of a schlub like that.

How about we just corral them for Trap?!

I'll promise that they'll still be breathing by the time you get here

Libertas · « **Reply #125 on:** April 13, 2011, 09:30:28 AM »

I tried to be accommodating at first, then he just started the same libtard talking points and being argumentative just to be argumentative, so I lit him up and walked away from it for others to deal with, as I knew they would. Getting caught up this morning and...here we are.

Trap will have to be a little quicker on the trigger if he wants trap more tards!

I don't mind a lefty who tries to stay on topic and be truthful, but they will fly off both rails eventually!

People are obviously free to engage with trolls however they choose, but after this episode I have some thoughts I'll share later when I'm not on the phone re; soups suggestion of guidelines.

My thoughts will be coming from a perspective relative to my comments thus far.

I was gone pretty much when I read "addiction to oil."

for blueboy

Someone that can't get beyond the most very basic tard talking points, in their very first post, isn't worth my time.

Yup but what you missed was that he was/is from Alberta Canada where all the had in the past was growing wheat and hit the lottery when they started with OIL production and admits that he and his family live well because of oil.

So he didn't seem to mind making a living off oil but didn't want us to drill in ANWAR because of the potential spills.It was all over the place crazy. But I have to admit I just love watching PAN go at these people. It's like a Terrier going after an new toy. Once she has it in her teeth there's no taking it away!!

It was great her fur was standing straight up and all the teeth were showing. If she could have gotten her sights on him he would not have walked away.

Yeah I am sick of the expression "addiction to oil". As noted previously, I happen to have an "addiction to modern medicine", an "addiction to dry, warm shelter" an "addiction to inexpensive, quality food". The list goes on and on. Oil is inextricably linked to all of these things. What bothers me most about that banal admonition is that it implies there is some sort of reasonable alternative that we would be embracing right now, were it not for our thickheaded "addiction" getting in the way. What alternative? The only one that could possibly be a viable alternative is nuclear, and we know the fits of apoplexy that sends them into.

This business about an "addiction to oil" is, like its twin bogey man "global warming", just a canard for the complete upending of our economic and political structures. They want to force the population into dense, controlled housing. Individual liberty and rights are an impediment to the Left's goal of control, so they chip away at them by making energy artificially scarce and expensive, installing "Smart Grid" electrical infrastructure (you can't be trusted with the freedom to control your own thermostat, because you'll set it according to your own desires), and so on. Complaints about the loss of freedom and wealth are at first ridiculed as some anachronistic fetish that is a "danger" to the environment, "unfair" to other people.

So true Glock32, and so hypocritical.

Schlubs like spacebar aren't Luddites - they have no intention of altering their personal lifestyle or minimizing their "footprint". Their aim is to alter yours (and mine). The only extent to which they "do without" is in respect to things they wouldn't be inclined to "do with" in the first place.

In the final analysis it is especially sick because it is so needless. Our late friend spacebar inadvertently flirted with reality with his acknowledgment that we don't have an energy crisis - we have a leadership crisis. There is no shortage of oil - it just needs to be accessed and far too few pols have the the courage to simply stand up and shout it out.

Don't forget addicted to air and breathing! What a dependency!

That's why I laid that spewage open as BS right away when in my first post I said - "We are addicted to oil", that is weak-minded psychobabble served up by Ruling Class overlords to control ignorant masses. What we are currently addicted to his hopey/changey socialist BS!

Fools such as this must not even be capable of recognizing the cognitive dissonance the rest of us normal human beings experience! Their "addictions" good, our "addictions" bad! Like John Adams said "facts are stubborn things", so are the meaning of words and concepts governing their ethical use! Leftards butcher the truth, abuse words and twist facts and when you call them on it, they get all pissy! Makes one want to step on their face!

That's exactly what set me off - and then he repeated it. I PM'd IDP at about that time saying I was tempted to ban his ass the next time he said it.

Dang...Gone a few days and look what I missed....But it was enjoyable reading.

Here is his original post:This whole thread is full of ridiculous misguided anger.

A dude driving a huge gas guzzling vehicle is whining to the president that it costs too much to fill up, and the president offers some HONEST advice? "OH NO HE HATES 'MURICAH!!"

We shouldn't confuse this as an attack on liberty so much as being realistic. My god, people nowadays are so freaking unable to make sacrafice. Can you imagine if this was ww2 and people were being asked to limit their fuel use and donate whatever they could to the war effort? People would be marching on the streets crying that they won't be able to play xbox and drive an escalade to drop their kid off to school.

Grow up America

From his admission he made money off oil to the claim sacrifice would be taking the Presidents " honest" advise and buying a car (Volt) told me all I needed to know.

I did find it amusing his comparasion of real American sacrifice during WW2 to now, apparantly, sacrificing your SUV in the name of: choose one: Global warming 2)Enviromental disaster 3) the new sacrifice 4) limited fuel consumption

But I'll tell you what his real issue is.....He is from canada and the Stanley Cup playoffs start tonite...And this beloved Canadian teams haven't won a Cup since the 1980's. He is on edge. He wants our teams to roll over and sacrifice the Cup to canada. Hell, most of thier teams can't qualify for the playoffs.

Grow up Canada.

P.S. Don't use the tired excuse most American teams have Canadians. We bring them down here and teach them how to win.
