It appears you already have.

No, but it is obvious that you have. It must suck to hate this nation the way you do. Why don't you go find some shithole more to your liking?

rockrr to Kalamata: "It must suck to hate this nation the way you do.
Why don't you go find some shithole more to your liking?"

You might have noticed that Kalamata is a newcomer here, and with all due respect, a formidable poster.
He comes to us fully equipped with a huge inventory of relevant quotes, an arsenal of logical tricks, a defensive shield of barbs & insults, and utter disregard for facts or reasons which might falsify his own unique outlook.

Undoubtedly, Kalamata is thoroughly anti-American, but in the sense of, for examples, a Ken Ham (Ark Encounter) or Michael Behe (Darwin's Black Box) -- these people have declared & waged intellectual war not just on the USA, but on the very idea of reality itself as we perceive it, scientifically.
Perhaps with some justification they feel assaulted by blatant scientific atheists like Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion), and strike back with their own equally aggressive anti-science ideology/theology.

Ultimately, of course, it's pure nonsense and nobody I've posted against here is more deeply immersed & steeped in it than Kalamata, nobody more tireless or ruthless in defending it.

If you wish to grasp the precise moment in history where Kalamata's & our views part company, it might be here: in historical reality our Christian Founders were leaders in and exemplars of the Enlightenment Age, they chiefly define what the term "Enlightenment" means.
But in Kalamata's world-view our Christian Founders were victims of and opposed to the atheistic European Enlightenment, while their success in framing our nation came despite, not because of, their Enlightenment ideals.

So Kalamata is not just pro-Confederate and anti-American, he's also anti-reality as we understand it.

My own views on science, so far as I can tell, are identical with those of traditional main-line Protestant and Roman Catholic teaching, namely, in sum, that science can theorize whatever it wants, but God created and rules everything.

It love my nation, Jackass. I despise those who have trashed and pillaged it, and those who are trashing and pillaging it. It is obvious you are as happy as a kid in a candy store as long as the central planners, influence peddlars, and crony capitalists have their way.

Did you never wonder why so many Marxists love Lincoln? It must suck to be so willingly ignorant of history as you are.

Mr. Kalamata
