You brought up the date to dodge a simple question. There's no need to call ohioWfan names just because you can't answer a simple question. That's my point.

You want civility from me? You're going to have to earn it from me.

Dear Simpleton,

In post 448 of this thread, ohioWfan stated... (and I quote)

If you really ARE a conservative (and not just a DU troll stirring up trouble)

So to disabuse this poor little girl of her confusion, I responded with the date of my entry into the FR community, which if you wish you can read for yourself in post 455 of this thread.

No "simple question" was asked.... nor was one "dodged".

What does that go for...? probably a couple cheeseburgers and a moon pie would be my guess.

Dullard?? LOL! You ARE a jerk!

The fact is that there ARE DU sleepers who have been around since 1999.

I didn't say YOU were one. You're just hyper sensitive and defensive.......and seem to have a BIG problem with telling the truth.

I said they existed, and that one can't tell the difference between them and you...........and it's true.

So, in other words, civility to you is worth a cheeseburger and a moonpie. Figures. You'll have to do better than that to earn it from me.

Your precise words posted to me were...

"If you really ARE a conservative (and not just a DU troll stirring up trouble)"

Now you can pretend that this isn't insinuating that I was a "DU troll" if you want... but that's just a lie.

And your own words make that pretty clear to me.

You dodged the question. Give it a rest. The fact you've been around here longer than I or anyone else you intend to buck heads with means diddly squat on the internet.

Actually, I don't mind that he's calling me names, BigSky.

It's one of those 'consider the source' kind of things.

There are a whole bunch of freepers who hold the same views as he does, but are respectable adults with whom you can carry on a rational discussion. He's just not one of them......

...I'm not voting for him EVEN IF THAT MEANS WE GET JOHN KERRY....I call us "principled."

You are self-important, self-righteous, self-delusional, and spoiled by the blessings of conservatism to the point that you don't see or appreciate what it is that you have, because you only want more and you want it NOW. Of course, when you finally get what you think you want, you still won't be satisfied, because in a strange way, that is how you derive your own feeling of "principled" self-worth. Where you come from malcontentment is next to godliness, and in the end you become blinded to conservative successes and become thankful for nothing.

Any one who could write what you wrote all in context of just that one post just shows that you are a worthless, fair-weather "conservative," and probably never were up for the fight for the long haul.

You're the kind of person I saw in 1980 who held it against Reagan and didn't vote for him "on priniciple," because they held a grudge for his selecting Richard Schweiker -- the Pennsylvania liberal -- as his potential running mate in 1976, and selected GHWBush to run with him in 1980. Thankfully, enough of your stripe put away their parochial differences just long enough to become united with other conservatives to get Reagan elected and taking the Senate at the same time. We all look back now and revere the memory of Reagan who understood politics enough to build consensus for getting the job done.

You are this generation's embodiment of the "principled" philosophy that gave us a completely Democrat congress in 1986 and surrendered all 3 branches of government by 1992.

You call yourself "principled." I call you impatient, and ungrateful, content to be content in your malcontentment.... and completely worthless in any contribution you think you are making by deserting the team on this long march back toward conservatism.

That's fine. We will just win it without you. The thanks for victory will certainly not be extended in your direction.

Excuse me, but I'll leave you to your hurt feelings and false accusations.

I never thought you were a troll. And I don't lie...........EVER.

I just know that the DU trolls mimic guys like YOU to tear us conservatives down and rip us apart.

If you're not aware of that.......I'd recommend that you wake up......and grow up.

Neither OWK nor tompaine are now or ever have been sleepers from DU and if you can't distinguish the difference between intelligent libertarians and drug addled teenaged mutant Democrats then please accept this assurance from an old, really old Truman Democrat.

President Bush selected a terrible group of advisors and kept in place the most incompetent national security apparatus in decades. He needs to shape up more aggressively and ask the likes of Renfield and Candiass Rice to stop passing the buck and get lost.
