Repentance is the first step toward atonement, seriously.
You've made such a pompous ass of yourself here that, while I might have voted for you at one time, you've shown no inclination toward the kind of temperament or judgment in a person I could support for any level of public office. I will endeavor to make that opinion known should the occasion arise. Congratulations, you really know how to win them over.
Believe me, I will strive mightily to never offend you again by making the mistake of expressing my opinion on a thread by replying to you.
Adding dishonesty to intemperance too! First, these were facts that you know very well I understand, facts that had absolutely nothing to do with what I had posted, which was about honesty in the title of the post, not even about abortion or rights at all. Hence, it was neither an opinion nor a reply; it was empty posturing for purposes you chose not to disclose (a failure of integrity), facts that should have been directed to the article posted and not to me. When I pointed it out, you did not show any repentance, an absolute repudiation of the central tenet of Judeo-Christian teaching. You were not expressing an opinion, but stating facts in support of your efforts to demonstrate your superior moral rectitude, your raison d'etre as far as I can tell and as pure an example of "righteousness as filthy rags" as I could conjure, an attempt to elevate yourself lacking an ounce of humility.
That's why it didn't work.
I simply stated my opinion, on a subject I care about quite a bit. That’s what Free Republic is for. Remember?
I wasn’t even really addressing you, per se. I was commenting on the substance of the article. Yours just happened to be a handy post to reply to.
My error.
If anyone is acting like a pompous, self-righteous ass, it’s you.
Again, I will do my best to try to remember to avoid hitting reply to any post of yours that isn’t addressed to me in the future.
