You’re like a scratched record, SittinYonder, stuck in the groove and unable to move on. Journalism and creative writing are two very distinct vocations, although both entail putting words to paper. While it’s probably true many journalists aspire to fiction, it’s also (equally, probably) true fiction writers rarely aspire to journalism.
Of all the things going on in the world, why post a loony-tunes, conspiratorial screed? Rather than defend your posting choice with any lucidity or coherence, you absolve yourself of any endorsement of its content and go on the attack when people like me call you on that choice, and—in my case—condemn you for it. You drove the nail even harder when you posted Ron Paul campaign ad transcripts, in toto, verbatim. Paul is a 9-11 Truther, a paranoid nutjob thinly disguised as a reputable, mainstream conservative. You even attempted to lump Paul in with genuinely mainstream (if marginal) candidates like Tancredo and Huckabee.
You claim not to be antisemitic. So does Pat Buchanan, yet in nearly all of his columns nowadays, somehow, somewhere the influence of the ‘Zionist Lobby’ comes up. There’s nothing blatant about Buchanan—he was, after all, Nixon’s Communications Director at one time, so knows his way around the semantic minefield of political discourse, but the bigotry is there for anyone with eyes to see. When weighing Buchanan’s prejudices, it’s evident largely in his choice of topics, the way he approaches the subject matter, the causes he champions, the issues he embraces as his own.
Same with you.
No apology.
I've got hundreds of posts on FreeRepublic. Find the "zionist lobby" posts of mine if you're going to continue to call me anti-semitic.

Because there are points in here I think are worthy of discussion: Is the Republican Party now a globalist party as the writer contends? Do conservatives intend to leave the party if the Republicans continue with what seems to be a globalist agenda? Are Tancredo, Hunter and Paul the only conservatives in the race, as the writer contends?
Go back and look at my first post on this thread, these are the two issues I pulled out because these were my focus.
I'm not very familiar with the European parties this guy talks about, and while I know Le Pen in France is anti-semitic (I was under the impression most of the French are), that never entered into my consideration when I posted this article. Since the immigration deal was struck, a lot of people have been saying they're done with the Republican party. That hardly makes them anti-semites.

I absolutely support Ron Paul on his domestic policies, and among conservatives, I'm not alone there. Prior to Paul coming out with his anti-war stance, Paul was a hero to many conservatives on this forum. For his firm stance on the federal government abiding by the Constitution, he remains one of the few decent politicians in my opinion. What is it exactly about the Constitution that you don't support?
You didn't come into this thread until post 120. By then, I'd already made clear my position on Paul. I disagree with him in his positions on the WOT. I'd said that before you ever started your nasty diatribe against me. But Paul's opinions on domestic issues are grounded in the Constitution and mainstream conservative principles. As you well know I posted those three pieces straight from his website to give you an opportunity to show how he's a kook and on the fringe. You haven't touched it, you know those principles are conservative, you know they're not "fringe" positions so you just ignore it.
Though I do suspect they are positions you can't support. I think you're a globalist, and I think you find no fault in the current size and scope of the federal government.
You attacked me personally, over and over again, without the least bit of evidence to support your absurd claims. I have a long posting history that's easily accessible. If I am what you say I am, then use my words to prove it.
Otherwise, apologize.
