You guys are producing 'third-party unappeasables' at an alarming rate with your axe-grinding.

EV, go to your first post on this thread and see who started grinding their ax. You have been throwing off enough sparks to melt an anvil.

[EternalVigilance]

Okay.

Are you quibbling with my point that Barry got quite liberal in his old age? (its pretty self-evident).

Are we never to mention that ever again? Is that a violation of some new Republican PC code?

[Thumper1960]

Actually, Barry didn't change much. Though, he did become more Libertarian. Perhaps, it's the quality of Conservatives that changed.

[EternalVigilance]

Go to the original post, and see if there wasn't uncalled for nastiness thrown towards conservatives. It wasn't just the first sentence.

Was the poster simply railing on Democrats, as she claimed? Or was there more implied, both directly and indirectly?

[EternalVigilance]

No, conservatives have always opposed the homosexual agenda. It was Barry that left the reservation.

NO it was not uncalled for. It was spot on. If there has been uncalled for nastiness on this thread it started with YOU.

[EternalVigilance]

No.

The nastiness started with the vanity. I simply called attention to it.

It was a smarmy attack aimed at conservatives, as any reader can see for themselves.

It is symptomatic of much that is wrong on FR these days.

That's why I jumped in. I'm sick of it.

[Thumper1960]

Barry addressed the homosexual as persons, not as an agenda driven movement. It is not an issue that needs to be discussed here, at this time. However, suffice to say that it is not a Conservative desire to become involved in the very personal sexual practices of consenting adults, in their private residences. Too many Conservatives have skeletons in their closets to go there.

[EternalVigilance]

That's not the point, and you know it. The homosexual activists have brought their behavior out into the public arena, and tried to force the rest of us to give it our seal of approval. Mr. Goldwater abetted them.

What is the meaning of eternal vigilance when you can't be vigilant about your own resorts to personal insults which are ultimately silly, especially when grouped together...

All together, your posts haven't made a coherent statement about anything whatsoever. Just that you are a windy troll. Methinks you are slightly off kilter, but hey, overly right leads left, doncha know? Right time, wrong board?

[Jorge]

Don't waste your time -- I wish I hadn't wasted mine.

Nothing you've posted has been a waste of time.
Even if EV couldn't comprehend it, MOST of us get it.

EV's challenges are a FR message board form of entertainment...like shooting fish in a barrel. It's fun!

[Texasforever]

No I think you may have a past problem with the author and let it get the best of you. If not then there is no excuse for your lack of class.

[EternalVigilance]

All you're proving is that you don't know a thing about me.

My posts stand on their own. I don't expect you to like it.

[EternalVigilance]

I think you may have a past problem with the author and let it get the best of you.

Bull. As far as I know, I've never even seen her screen name.

If not then there is no excuse for your lack of class.

Ah, disagreeing with you equals lack of class. I see.

How classy.

[Thumper1960]

Conservatives have always believed that government stay out of a person's private lives. Therefore, privacy of the citizen is paramount to Conservative ideals.

[Texasforever]

Ah, disagreeing with you equals lack of class. I see.

Nope.

[EternalVigilance]

You're arguing just exactly like a liberal.

I argue against the homosexuals forcing their destructive lifestyle choices on the rest of us, in the public sphere, and then you pretend we are still talking about what they do in the privacy of their own bedroom.

I expect better of FReepers.

[Thumper1960]

In that respect, the political strategy has been to say clearly that they are here and they're not going to be driven into caves. Attack the personal actions of a group and they can either be driven underground or come out and fight for persoanl rights. They chose to come out into the open and fight. You can't fault them for that. Leave them alone and their more "colorful" members will have little use for flamboyancy.

[Jorge]

But my post stands, and your claimed braininess doesn't stand up to the scrutiny of anyone who reads that exchange with an honest mind.

Right. I'm still waiting for you or anyone else to challenge what I've posted.

Do you even remember what we disagree about? My bet is you don't.

[Thumper1960]

See the previous post.

Argue as a Liberal to fight the Liberal.
