You will note that I deleted the portion of the above post to which this is a response. I have no intention of engaging anyone here at any length for any reason other than a periodic statement on certain subjects if I think something is really worth clarifying. I have no intentions of getting into any more knock down, drag outs with anyone.

On second thought, I found that particular comment to be unnecessarily provocative and personal, so I eliminated it.

This place brings that kind of thing out in me (and many others), which is why I left it and am staying out of it, save for a few stray comments I may post now and then, when the need arises.

The long, extended arguments and tit-for-tat stemwinding debates are over.



Thanks.

Actually Droopy, as I have said before, I think you have a lot to offer if you just stick to the issues and stay even keeled. Tough to do here at times. It can be knock down enviroment.

"I" mentally disturbed, or is it really YOU???


Well, if you look at my post right above yours, the one you responded to, you'll see that the term used was "emotionally disturbed" not "mentally disturbed" so that's the first thing I'd like to point out.

Second:

It is obvious. You've never posted a single fact, and at least a half a dozen different people have corrected you, and you're acting intentionally or unintentionally oblivious to it. So I echo beastie's request, please continue. Plenty of counter evidence as been presented by plenty of people, but go ahead and keep ignoring it and just continue.


P/S This is one of the few topics that always baits me back into posting here, since I've basically retired from posting on the Internet and essentially just use this board like a Facebook these days for the posters I want to stay in touch with.

Not a single person has "corrected" me....

I've only seen people simply repeat the brainwashing statement.
No one has provided actual FACTS debunking my statement.
One tried when I initially brought it up, and then I debunked them with the actual facts of the individuals.

I mean, the "biggest" evidences brought that "conservatives" were also Presidential assassins were simply that one supported the South so he "MUST" have been a Conservative (again, liberal propaganda, not actual facts of the man). And the second one was the guy that was simply BORN a Republican.

THOSE are the "two" BIG evidences I've only been shown, by one person.
First one's easily debunkable by two obvious points, which is a conservative wouldn't kill a conservative, and further southern values were/are completely anathema to conservative/republican values. One issue that the South was for that is traditionally a conservative value doesn't make them conservatives. Use brain.
Second one is also easy to debunk for two reasons, the guy tried to kill again a REPUBLICAN one of our MOST CONSERVATIVE icons, and two the guy killed to impress an actress and because he's crazy, nothing to do with politics or ideology.

That's your "evidence".....

In contrast, I provided a detailed listing of each assassin their liberal ideology and actions, and other reasoning, and on another occasion I did a brief overview of them when challenged again.

Anyway, God knows who provided actual evidence and who's argument is actual factual and is far superior. Ignorant like you are simply "factual" in your own minds. It is after all the liberal mental disorder. Fantasy translates into reality for liberals.

Liberalism = Freedom = Agency = Equality.

Conservatism = Oppression = Regime = Preservation of Classes.

ldsfaqs always knows best... Liberals have a mental disorder, which is why you believe they should be kept oppressed.

Let's be just a little more historically and ideologically accurate here.

Liberalism (leftism) = collectivism = statism = oppression = identity politics (ethnic, racial, gender, class, ideological chauvinism and victimology) = coerced equality of condition.

Conservatism = liberty = individualism = limited government = individual freedom = equality of opportunity and human potential.

This is indistinguishable from the far right.

Conservatism = liberty = individualism = limited government = individual freedom = equality of opportunity and human potential.


This is classical liberalism.
