“Unfortunately, we seem to have been trained by TV and the public schools to expect little tiny spoonfuls.”
Speak for yourself.
Speaking for myself, here’s the deal. I will read very, VERY long posts from people who have something to say. I’ll read entire books by people who have compelling points to make and who make them well.
You, JW, don’t do that. You just make the same old points over and over and over and over and over until I’m amazed that even the people who agree w you don’t get fed up. You don’t say fresh, thoughtful, interesting things. You don’t exhibit any particular insight. All you have is your ideology and the ideological blinders that insure you never see anything other than your own ideology. There is one word to sum up people who write from that POV:
BORING.
The second component that makes your posts, after the first four or five dozen, totally unreadable is your clinical detachment. Obama is destroying the country. For the most part, he’s already succeeded. To the average conservative this is a fact that elicits a genuine response. W you it doesn’t. You occasionally tell, w’out showing, that supposedly you ‘care’, but you only do it so you can get back to splicing together your neverending, stultifyingly repetitious/boring postathons that a person would have to be a certified masochist to read after a certain point.
Here is how you come across. We’re on the Titanic. The iceberg has been struck. People are reacting to it as best they can.
In the midst of it all, here you are, lecturing ad nauseum about how the Titanic is unsinkable. You quote endlessly from brochures & engineers, etc. When you can’t get people’s attention, you turn to newspaper clippings and note exactly how many times the ship was proclaimed “unsinkable”. In between quotes, you say, ‘& hey, it’s no big deal anyway. Ships hit icebergs & survive all the time.’ To make that point, you trot out lengthy stats re: ships that have survived an encounter w an iceberg.
All the while the Titanic is sinking lower and listing at an ever more precarious angle. In the end, like the cherry on a Sunday, you grab a passenger & say, ‘Your problem is a short attention span. TV & public schools are the only things keeping you from actually hearing all these great points that I am making.’
Look, here is the bottom line. You got what you wanted. A POTUS w foreign allegiances occupies the Oval Office. The country as we knew it is history. It’s gone and it’s not coming back. The connection between Obama’s foreign loyalty & his purposeful destruction of the country he wholeheartedly joins Jeremiah Wright in damning is the only thing you’re missing. I.e.: the connection between the iceberg and the rapidly sinking Titanic.
& you wonder, you actually wonder, why people get sick & tired of listening to you.
No, do you know what your problem is with me?
It's that I DON'T write about history from ideology.
I write about history from the point of view of what actually happened.
And reality conflicts with YOUR IDEOLOGY. I get it.
Look, here is the bottom line. You got what you wanted. A POTUS w foreign allegiances occupies the Oval Office.
Huh. I guess that's why I voted against the sucker twice.
Here is how you come across. We’re on the Titanic. The iceberg has been struck. People are reacting to it as best they can.
Which in your case, means puncturing the lifeboat of the Constitution by poking as many holes in it as possible.
I'm simply saying: Don't try to address the problem by trying to punch holes in the Constitution. It's the best, and only, lifeboat we have.
And if you imagine that by twisting the Constitution that you are actually helping anything, you are, in my opinion, sorely out of touch with reality.
And by the way, if you don't like reading my posts, then don't read them. It's not as if I'm going to disabuse you of your fantasy anyway.
