LOL
Yell it from the rooftops brother.
Having scared off 1/2 of the conservatives you will now scare off all of the liberals. Me, I want a SC judge who understands conservative constitutional scholarship, writes well, and argues clearly and thinks logically. The divine revelation school of legal justice scares me no end. God does not speak to me in voices and so I cannot verify what he is telling others. You may not like it, but you started this line of argument, not me.
You're right, agree to disagree. I just don't understand it. I am not happy with Bush on the budget, border control, immigration, things like that, but I don't bust other conservative's chops that are happy with him. He may be a conservative, but he isn't very rational or polite. Thanks for your posts.
I agree with your position on Harriet Miers....
..but I don't appreciate your name calling to my friend Laz.
He is an amazingly funny guy, but also heartfelt serious with what is happening in our country.
He is a friend to many here....
..I don't think you're a troll...... but I don't want you name calling to Laz, OK.
You are a sweet and wonderful person, and I value your friendship over almost all others here.
(Thank-you !)
And much of the anti-Miers stuff this week has been elitist whining by people who don't even know the woman, pure and simple. That was NO excuse for people like you to come here and throw insults and act like a teenager in a clique conflict. It was clearly not directed at ANYONE on FR and you know it. The tone of your posts is still irrational and immature.
Oh, and yes, you found me out. I am straight from moveon.org and DU adding to the rift among Conservatives, by saying that I think people should trust the President on her, since he knows her, and suggesting that people be patient and wait to complain till there is something to complain about, furthermore pointing out that doing so bolsters democrats and gives them a desire to be more active and fight the conservative majority. Yes that's exactly what a liberal hack would come here and do. Whatever. Look, have all your Bush hate, base opinions on things that haven't even happened, and have a good time of it. In a few months when she's proven to have adjudicated consevatively just like Scalia and Thomas, I'll be sure to remind you of all this panic driven hysteria and how silly it was. On the bright side, you've got several months to come up with some more good personal insults in the mean time. Have a good weekend. I'm glad I didn't know more "conservatives" like you when I was younger and just forming my ideas about politics. People like you would have kept me from forming the belief that conservatives are much more civil and mature and able to have adult disagreements with those who disagree with them. It's scared me how talking to you is just like talking to a liberal. Name calling, insults, immature personal attacks with no fact based rebuttle arguments at all. My biggest beef with you is, if you're a real social and fiscal conservative, why have you seemed to so enjoy personally attacking someone else who is also? That defies logic. But whatever. You have your opinion, and I leave you to it. Maybe in a few months you'll come around. Maybe not. It doesn't really matter.
And I was not rude to people who disagreed with me until they took a tone of being a smart ass with me. If you are polite and cordial and mature with me, even if you disagree, I will be the same. If you're a mouthy smart ass to me, I will return the favor. Unlike my wife, I am NOT a diplomat, and when someone mouths off at me I'm more likely to give them a pop in the mouth than a smile and a nod. Not my fault if you can't handle someone coming back at you when you start something.
Incorrect. I value brevity and the subsequent soul of wit more among my allies than my ideological enemies.
That you are unnecessarily wordy is not in question. What is in question is your status as an ideological foe or an ideological friend.
Oh, and yes, you found me out. I am straight from moveon.org and DU adding to the rift among Conservatives
O! Okay. Thank you for putting that final question to rest.
Incorrect. The first word of your vanity, 'Whining', was in fact, rude and quite insulting.
And the whole use of the word "crony" makes me cringe because the day after the nominiation "crony" was the liberal group meeting word of the day, and so whenever anyone accused her of being a crony, that smacks of liberal media influence, so I totally do not trust anything that follows. If she had been some sociality wall flower or had a reputation of being someone who did only to please, that would be one thing, but she has a reputation of being a hard working loyal person who is conservative in her beliefs and actions. And I cannot and will not get around the fact that she is the one who brought all those great conservative Judges to Bush to nominate. That cannot be overstated.
..I'm more likely to give them a pop in the mouth than a smile and a nod..
...You tout yourself as a Christian, but this quote is not Christian talk.
..I find it disappointing.
Man this guy could write a novel.....I just scroll over his comments, lol
You are starting to see, in evidence, what I sensed by instinct. ;^)
This is the main disadvantage to being excessively wordy. People are not motivated to read someone who makes more words than points. That's why I am most upset if someone on MY side is too wordy than if my ideological foes are too wordy.
You’re right. I’ll just drop it with him. He’s been here, you guys know him, so I’ll just chalk it up to him being supremely upset with this nomination to the point that he disagrees with the matter and anyone who doesn’t disagree with to the point of not being civil or polite. I know I get very passionate about things. I was a lunatic during the Schiavo thing. If I had been here then, there wouldn’t be any question as to whether I was conservative or not. I have to go anyway. been putting my wife off of a movie for a few hours now and wasn’t expecting this to eat up all afternoon. 8)
Oh, and I know there are some good Presbyterian, etc, churches, for sure. Just many of them are so disappointing. "gay" ministers and all that crap. Some of the ones in Texas I know of have been like that and it's really aggrivating, though I think most all of the Texas Presbyterian and Episcopal churches broke away with the national orginizatons because of their liberal tendencies. That's good at least. 8) Talk to you later.
Great post. I agree totally. 8)
Don't ever forget that, given even a sliver of a chance, I would cook you into a chili and eat your human flesh.
Forget it. I'll go with what people who know you have said that you're a very conservative guy, and you just have a big problem with this issue. I wish you could have taken a different tone with me, but whatever, doesn't matter. Maybe with the passage of time, and things showing themselves out, your opinion on it will change. Talk to you later.
