Murican schools don’t teach classical education or Aristotelian logic. Same dumbed down public schools that graduate Demonrats also graduate Freepers. So there...
Sounds a bit too emotional
Tell me about it...
Doesn’t this happen at every Presidential election cycle? As a long time lurker, I even remember some purges in the past.
I understand both arguments. Probably so does every other smart FReeper. FReepers that don’t get it, well, we have to be kind to them because we have to be kind to people who need extra time or help. This is not only a site for geniuses and that is ok. We aren’t elitist.
But I agree, we should be explaining why we think a certain way. Help those of us understand. There are some very young or very hard working busy people who don’t get it yet.
Here are the basic two arguments:
TRUMP:
Both parties are messed up. It seems a cabal of greedy people are running this country without any thought to the People they are supposed to be representing. Nothing we ever do, election after election, changes this, including electing an apparent conservative. The media rules over us and controls us. We know they are lying but we are powerless to fight them. Trump comes along, not of the cabal, independently wealthy, says he is going to clean this mess up, and make America great again, and even in his campaign he proves this by not taking the ruling media’s guff. He says it like it is; he has already visibly loosened the hold the media has on us, and he is daring to speak the words we’ve longed to discuss re illegal immigration and Islamic terror. He has a great chance to win this thing.
CRUZ:
Senator Cruz is a proven Conservative. We all said last year, we would rather see Hillary win than vote for a GOPe again. He isn’t completely of the cabal because the GOPe hates him too. Even if he doesn’t win, slowly the country will turn to despise the hold the progressive cabal has on us, and eventually we WILL win elections on the basis of our ideas alone. I’m good for my word and I will never vote for a flawed or non-conservative again. Period.
I understand both positions because I’ve held both.
Neither one makes you less of a child of Gd so drop the mud wrestling if you can. Insulting your opponents never (really, NEVER) brings them to your side. Careful explanation might.
Nice opus..oh wait.
Just do your part to introduce logic into the discussion and don’t fret about others.
And give up years of campaign season purges, pogroms and pissing contests? What are you, nuts? We're talking tradition here.
