I've been lurking FR way before you EVER EVER signed up ... I've been lurking FR way before you ever heard of FR ... I recall FR has been such a successful forum because of plenty of support from Conservatives, Republicans and Conservative minded independents.
You do not speak for anyone on FR other than yourself ...
Everybody on FR does not have your exact political views.
I understand this is a place to spout off, and so you pick the easiest target possible: people who do not fit YOUR definition of conservatism ...
BTW, RR was not the founder of conservatism. RR was president 20+ years ago ... Are you stuck in the 80's?
I just think the lot of you are the most dangerous thing in the world:
I think I have heard just about enough from you ...
A fool with a little bit of knoledge.
You gotta be kidding me ... I have no idea what "knoledge" is ... And since you have now resorted to name calling, it's obvious to me and anyone else reading FR you have LOST this debate.
And since you just called me a "fool" ...
Leave me alone, or go pound sand, or go do both. I'm not debating you anymore when its obvious you have no valid arguments, you have no facts, or counter points ...
I decided not to bother cutting and pasting your post to me, because you must know that very few people will be reading this thread, as we are pretty much the only two people posting. You and I started talking, because you posted an asinine and factually incorrect statement in post 50, which I didn't bother addressing. No, you didn't post to me. You posted to nobody, like a coward, and you posted to a thread that I started. I took exception to you tagline, which indicated that Ronald Reagan, the father of the so-call “War On Drugs” was an enemy of the constitution.
Now, I don't pretend to speak for everyone here on FR, but I actually have had this screen name for 10 years. The one consistency that I have found among members here is a reverence for President Reagan. Most, no, virtually all of us model our own personal conservative philosophies after that great man. I'm not a particularly big fan of Jim Robinson, but I have no doubt that he would include himself in that group. So, no, on this website you certainly don't need to have the exact same political views as me. But, if you differ from Ronald Reagan, you are probably wrong. And if you are a libertarian, which Ronald Reagan was not, you are most certainly wrong more often than you right on subjects like these. This is a free country. Go find a libertarian website, and I'm sure there will be people that that agree with you all the time. The rest of us come here to get away from unrealistic political viewpoints like legalizing drugs, which most of us find moronic. I don't know a nicer way to say this than 99% of the people on FR disagree with you, but most are too polite to say anything. Your 1% knows it is outnumbered, so you are very vocal. But you are still just as wrong.
A couple more things: You have been on FR for a year. You have no way for proving that you ever lurked here, so that point is irrelevant. If you must know, I have been with FR (with a screen name) since the second month that it was in existence. But I had accounts banned several times in the early days. I was younger then. But I have had this one since 2000, so this is the one that counts. You have been here less than a year, an it shows. Deal with it. Pointing out people's spelling errors in an argument just makes you look desperate. So does arbitrarily telling your opponent “You have LOST the debate. Leave me alone.” You would have learned that by now, if you had been here for more than a year. The mere fact that you would post something like that indicates that you have run out of answers (because it's killing you that I am right about Ronald Reagan and libertarianism), and are now grasping at any straw that might help you save face.
And finally, you don't get to tell me to leave you alone on my thread, which you posted to. I answered. Every time you answer back I get to keep reminding you that, yes, you are in fact a fool. You have yet to make a logical argument (you brain on drugs, possibly?), and you don't know when to call it a day and keep your mouth shut. Not that it matters to me one way or another. Anybody interested in whether or not my posts have contained “vaild points” is more than welcome to re-read through this thread. My post are full of them. The fact that you don't like what they have to say doesn't make them any less valid.
As a matter of fact, I triple dog dare you to break your word and continue on with this “Legalizing Drugs Is A Conservative Principle” nonsense. To be honest, I'd lose my faith in the stupidity and hardheadedness of libertarians if you didn't.
