-- I feel entirely justified in breaking a protocol. Norwaypinesavage just sent me a FReep mail with the simple declaration:
"I don't debate with children."
It is an absolutely perfect example of the arrogant, superior dismissal ALL conservatives will get from the Romney camp if, God forbid, he wins. Take heed. Head's up. These are people who think of anyone who disputes them as "children," lower folks, less mature, contemptible.
Any honest reading of FR shows that we conservatives who reject Romney do not characterictically think of or refer to the folks we're trying to warn and see the light with regard to what a big mistake Romney would be, as "children." I for one see them as compatriots who are letting fear cloud their judgment, a perfectly human and understandable thing.
Romney people think of the rest of us as "children." And such would be the lot of conservatives in the GOP with Romney in the White House. They'd be eating on the card table in the kitchen while moderate Republicans got to eat with the big people.
To quote a great American hero: Piss on Mitt Romney.
What to be learned?
A. Norwaypinesavage is a meany because he called someone a child
or
B. Finny will reveal a private freepmail in a second
The answer is “DING! DING! DING!” drumroll.........
B
It would take much more than being called a child for me to reveal a private message. Much much more... Once one loses his trust on this board, it is hard to get it back.
