Thank goodness he got ZOTTED! He was a troll and an idiotic one at that.

Yes, that post really WAS ghastly!

[pollyannaish]

You gotta admit it was a pretty entertaining troll rant . I kind of wish he'd started his own thread on it. It would have been good for several thousand posts. LOL.

[Graybeard58]

it's all codswallop.

That or poppycock.

Or horsefeathers. :-)

Here is what I wrote, exactly the way I wrote it, and spelled it, in it's entirety as cut and pasted From Here:

Without rule of law, and fidelity to the Constitution and the laws, then the People have been fully disenfranchised, and the privelege of voting for representation or laws, become an empty exercise. Amnesty is clearly a destruction of American's right to self-rule...and an attack on the People's sovereignty.

No sign of the mis-spelled rendition that you concocted. Hence, your whole next spiel...rings rather hollow:

I copied how YOU spelled it and added the (sic). YOU misspelled the word. Nice attempt to besmirch me, dear, with all of the twists and delusional tries at reading my mind. Sadly, for YOU, it's all codswallop.

I'm not psychic, and I haven't tried to read your mind...nor would I wish to, in your current state. Neither am I trying to besmirch you, just react to an evident mistake, and one which you continue to dig yourself into a deeper pit on.

That or poppycock.

One of my favorite terms as well. I always assumed it was of British origin....but was rather surprised to learn of its Dutch colonial origins derived from their term pappekak, wherein it has a rather scatalogical meaning...

[nopardons]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...but you've also claimed that no such replies, as I described, have EVER appeared on FR, that I am in favor of all kinds of things I am not, and attempted to twist what I have posted. Your now selective memory is showing.

If anyone is digging his way to China, it is you and you alone. ;^)

[ohioWfan]

It would have everyone jargogled, polly...........just like the erinaceous mormurdotes that frequent this forum (some on this very thread) are...........hehe.......

[Paul Ross]

I claimed I don't remember seeing them, or if I did, they just didn't register, as being patently DU fodder. Here, let's call it what it would be, if there were such here...flapdoodle.

A really good word we should employ more frequently. Particularly when confronted by DUmmies.

As for claiming that your "in favor of all kinds of things, I am not" [ presumably Amnesty] , okay, I'll take your word for it, but have a care...we're watching you now....

The troll "ChrisLucasForGov" is now dead. Whattaload he posted at #42.

Well just DANG. I miss all the fun ;o)

[nopardons]

You're just extremely lucky that I have virtually no HTML knowledge or skill; elsewise, I would CCP enough of such posts, to make you look as patently ridiculous, as I know you to be, regarding this subject. It is hardly "flapdoodle", DU fodder, or anything else you now want to claim it to be; it is a fact. But, because it doesn't help your position, you have decided to make these specious claims.

Your ernaceous replies have now reached the such a nadir, that you really don't deserve any reply at all.

[pollyannaish]

Snark. You're so funny.

I was discussing issues with a coworker once. He was a Democrat and may have assumed that I was one likewise. After he outlined some of his views, I interrupted and said something like, "well, isn't that socialism?" He paused reflectively, stroked his beard, and said "Yeah, but we can't use that word; Americans are ready for it yet." His response was stereotypical, but he really said it. I find his words to reveal many things: a) acceptance of socialism, b) presumed superiority over Americans, and c) a readiness to be dishonest. The Soviet Union fell and has been proved to have been fraudulent from beginning to end. But nothing has changed in the minds of leftists who vote Democrat.

Those are all REAL words, polly! Ain't it fun! :)

[maine-iac7]

"well, isn't that socialism?" He paused reflectively, stroked his beard, and said "Yeah, but we can't use that word; Americans aren't ready for it yet."

he's been trained well - parroting the same phrase I heard in the DSCO (Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee) meeting some 25 years ago!

Scary, on the face of it.

Also - the epitome of elitism...which is the definition, really, of socialism. These people think they not only have the right, but the duty, to rule because we are obviously so beneath their understanding of how society should be run.

They believe we need to be ruled as apposed to governed...ruled by them, as they are so far superior

[pollyannaish]

That's what makes it so funny. Real BIG words.

thanks, I needed that.

Glad to see this reply to Peter Beinart and his stupid and concocted defense of Truman as against Bush. Nevertheless, one should hope that Bush won't give like Truman gave in China.

And back on the home front, one hopes there is nothing but differences between the two men. Truman was a New Dealer through and through. He stood for price controls, high taxes, and Big Labor, and he nearly killed the post-War recovery. He refused to give up federal control of the economy, and doing so he condemned it to a long recession that was exascerbated by the Korean War. Then he used that war as a further excuse for more Federal regulation of the economy.

He was an economic disaster.

Huh? Wuzzat?
