Or do you concur with Justice Roberts, that a statute originating in the Senate yet originating a new “tax” is valid constitutionally?

Funny you should ask, I wrote something on just that subject. But in order to properly assess my argument, you'll first have to morally assess my life. Isn't that how you roll, in your collective? After all, who needs logic and reasoning, when the group can vote on their feelings? And isn't group feelings the very definition of morality - and therefore the legitimacy of someone's position? heck, you don't even need to hear from the person that way, do you? Thanks for illustrating what pelosi meant when she said we "have to pass it, to find out what's in it." You're just a poster boy.

As for your question, here's my answer. Use a dictionary for the big words, and if you really get stuck, ask your group about it's feelings in the matter.

As a gay prostitute, that's presumably what Malcolm X did! (and that's why I reject his "philosophies")

Which is why you only read the Jefferson Bible - you know, the one where he cut out and pasted up only the words of Jesus?

Otherwise, nothing else in human history has been written by a non-sinner, so you must reject it all.

Did they tell you about that whole "repentent sinner" thing in shill school? You laughed, but yeah we actually believe that down here in flyover country. What a mystery, eh? Think about it over your next latte.

No, I have to consult a gay prostitute to determine what my feelings should be (/sarc)

Evidently the thoughts of a gay prostitute like Malcolm X work for you.

Malcom X teaching blacks to stay off of government money, go to school, start businesses, not let their culture be corrupted by liberal plantation politics and guard their self-respect works for me.

You're the one who keeps talking about gay prostitution.

We are identified by what interests us.

Maybe but at least the full content was posted here, no need to bump up blog clicks.

Which is of course why I for one did click through. Good enough piece that I felt checking out the site might be worthwhile. It was.

Malcolm X also preached that white people were devils.

Black politicians have used his concepts and words to turn once-liveable areas like Detroit and Chicago into the hells on earth they now are, same as Obama has been accused of doing with the nation at large.

Facts that should not be ignored when discussing Malcolm’s “philosophy”.

Can I borrow your Gran Torino Saturday night? I have a big date?

Lighten up HG. This group of young conservatives is doing it right.

We should be begging them to post at FR.

For those who question our motives, I submit this to you..a retweet from Twitter: @AviWoolf @blackrepublican @dignitasnews Avi. Thanks for sharing!Amazing article. Knowledge bombs were dropped in my head #bigtime!

Everyone’s path to enlightenment is different. What we as conservatives face is a liberal-Progressive structure with great advantages in the media, academia and entertainment. And advantage they utilize to distort our motives and methods, and “scare” people from even hearing the message of conservatism. The firmly believe there are millions of young men and women out there that will come to the light, they need only to have those “knowledge bombs” dropped on them and the truth shall set them free.

Have you ever started a business, humblegunner? Self-promotion is critical to getting anything new started. In fact, it is a key element to the entrepreneurial mindset.

The Big Guy (copied here so he can chip in if I’m wrong) clearly has no problem with a bit of self-promotion on FR — IF DONE WITHIN THE RULES. Well, this guy followed the rules. Ergo, nobody else has a problem with him posting this excellent piece here.

In fact, contribution of excellent original content along with a little self-promotion according to the rules should be ENCOURAGED here. We need MORE of this, not less. That’s how we make headway in the battle of ideas...

No.

It'll be behind the house so as not to be affected by the fracas on my lawn.

We should be begging them to post at FR.

They should be humbly begging US to be posted on Free Republic.

Blogs gots to know their place.

And get off my lawn.

Sure have, how about you?

Self-promotion is critical to getting anything new started.

What if I'm painting over a billboard that someone else paid for?

Ergo, nobody else has a problem with him posting this excellent piece here.

I think my criticism was in how he characterized himself, but do feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

Jim's gonna love this.

He hasn't had much to bother him recently.

I am sure he is really missing the involvement with Freeper p!ssing contests.;-)

But portraying a garden gnome as the statue of liberty is a bit much.

In my opinion, the author acted correctly. He posted the full article here, and if anybody liked his writing, they could go to his blog. He's not acting as the kind of blog pimp we often see.

Your behavior on this forum detracts from the conservative message and drives many away who would otherwise be allies. You’re fighting for a few pennies of ad revenue and some bandwidth while the rest of us are fighting for the preservation of our constitutional freedoms.

We should welcome neophytes such as Dignitas News to our forum and give them voice and support. I agree some blogs are spam, but others may have value and we ought to embrace them when their mission is the same as ours.

I would be more than happy to help you craft a positive, non-threatening message to place on blog articles which informs bloggers of the posting rules. I believe a different approach may be appropriate to ensure we’re not scaring conservative allies and potential converts from the forum.
