[sargon]

NB, simply put, you put the worst possible interpretation on anything and everything Donald Trump does. You've done it for 2 years. You've engaged in gratuitous ad hominem attacks against him, have called him every insulting name in the book, and have never repudiated your hateful name-calling.

As such, you've been pegged as incorrigible; you're the resident Trump-hater.

If you displayed any moderation or nuance with respect to your Trump-hatred, you would doubtless never have been zotted, nor earned the reputation you "enjoy".

All the erudition and eloquence in the world can't overcome your pathological hatred for the individual, and consequently it taints every post you make in which he or his actions are the topic.

You've earned your position as the Tokyo Rose of FR.

You've called the man a "charlatan", a "fraud", a "con-man", and not only will you not repudiate such hatred, but you won't even acknowledge that you've engaged in those attacks. In short, you are disingenuous in the extreme whenever you pretend to say anything balanced, because your slant shines through at all times. You simply seek to hide your past of Trump-hatred, but since you still demonstrate it in the present, the concealment isn't very effective.

Now, why you'd choose as your avatar the image of a known racist and founder of the KKK, you're long-winded profile never sufficiently explains. Oh, it goes on and on with rationalizations, but it's all rather unconvincing.

But that silliness aside, your hatred of President Trump isn't something you can hide, and your attempts to disguise it under the guise of "reasonableness" fail utterly.

You are what you are: a self-drawn caricature; concern troll; a glowing testament of how irrational hatred for one individual can consume a man and render him offensive to the community of which he portends to be a member.

If being despised as a anti-Trump propagandist, wrapped in a pretentious, self-righteous mantle of counterfeit "truth", is your goal, you have achieved it thoroughly.

To the majority of the community, you will remain exactly what you are: a Trump-hater from way back, with an utter inability to be balanced or fair. You so routinely parrot Leftist lines of attack that it serves no purpose to point it out. You simply avoid responding to any criticisms which reveal your true nature and history.

You've done it repeatedly, for instance, over the past several days by not addressing, when challenged to do so, your voluminous historical expressions of disdain for the man who is now our President—a man you have never expressed any faith in, even as he obliterated your predictions and ascended to the highest office in the world, against all odds, and against your wishes—indeed, it is you who are the fraud, con-man, and charlatan, not our President, and until you face the facts of your own despicable behavior over the last 2 years towards this flawed but decent man, the opinions of this community aren't likely to change.

You've become a sideshow...

GREAT POST to NB I always looked so forward to reading his posts, not so much anymore!! He was a DIE HARD Cruz guy Cruz could never win the election NEVER!! I believe NB is in Germany at least I think he or she was wonder what he or she feels about MERKEL!!! As much as I would love to have believed a DIE HARD conservative could have won our election it was just NOT possible!!! Although I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in this whole healthcare fiasco Trump has turned out to be far MORE conservative than I expected! If however I see that LYIN RYAN is allowed to LOWER the tax cuts Trump wants, or start interference with the WALL then Trump WILL BE a one term POTUS the PEOPLE are sick to death of excuses and will no longer tolerate them!!! I believe that LYIN RYAN wants NOTHING MORE that Trump to be a one term POTUS!!! JMO!!!

Begone!

In a word you have just expressed why you are indefatigable in your screeds against me personally, you are trying to build a case to get me zotted. "Begone!" Seeing me gone is clearly your goal.

In this atmosphere if I respond to your bait and offer up the context in which Trump's exhorting of the crowd with remarks tending to induce violence, you will seize upon the descriptions and merely claim it is evidence not of the facts as they occurred but of anti-Trump bias. Look reader, see how much he hates Donald Trump! Banish him!

In this atmosphere, if I respond to your bait for an explanation of isolated words which you quote from on last count somewhere in excess of 15,000 replies I have put on this forum, you will likewise distort them and eventually scream louder and louder for my banishment. To reply to your demands is to stimulate a great ravening hater by appeasing you with that which you are utterly unentitled and certainly unworthy. You want explanations of words plucked from somewhere in cyberspace but where oh where is the context you make so precious when you so often demand that I supply it to you? You are a transparent hypocrite!

No, Sargon, I will not rise to your bait. You cannot succeed in zotting me for what I have said on this thread because I have done nothing but quote Donald Trump's own words. I have even refrained from laying out the particular context for each individual remark which is really damning so as not to give you more ammunition, more opportunity to distort. The context I did describe to you was a matter of general knowledge.

I behave on this thread entirely above board and I tried here as I do in all my replies to supply facts and reasons for my opinions. The venomous reaction of you and other ankle biters spews out because they do not like the opinions they cannot counter with facts but only distortions so you attack the messenger, you deflect, you distort, you willfully misunderstand and misinterpret. Many fair-minded readers will see what is actually happening here.

I find it abhorrent that I am driven to propound this for the record, I do so only for the fair-minded reader to evaluate and to make it more difficult for you to achieve your goal to silence me,

For the Record: 1) I am not now and have never been a never-Trumper; 2) I pledged to support Trump if he were nominated and I did so through the election; 3) I support Trump on virtually every one of his policies except his projected Ivanka care, his apparent position now on Rino care, parts of his infrastructure spending-other parts I support- and I reserve decision on his trade activities to see what unfolds, I applaud what he has done so far in jawboning corporations to invest in America. 4) I fully support Trump in every respect on immigration, even where he has softened his stance; on his tax cutting proposals, on his promises to cut regulations, and generally on his promises to "drain the swamp." 5) I fully support Trump's efforts to determine whether he has been unlawfully surveilled and the contents unlawfully leaked, there is a very real possibility of a conspiracy. However, I think his tweets on Saturday morning at 5 AM were rash and could have been better crafted, 6) I applaud virtually every one of is appointments and have even written a vanity in support of his appointment of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. 7) I think Trump has often been intemperate and unwise in his tweets and during his presser when he excoriated the media, although I fully understand and support his motivation, it is merely his delivery and intemperance to which I object. 8) I fully support Trump and his executive orders so far especially including the original Executive Order which has been ruled unconstitutional concerning immigration delays from selected countries. I fully support his firing of attorneys general as being within the norm and wise.

You can see that I support Trump when his policies are congruent with my conservative principles (immigration, tax cuts, surveillance, infrastructure spending, education reform, Supreme Court appointment and many more) but I reserve the right to oppose President Trump, with due respect to the office, when I believe his proposals or actions are unconstitutional, unwise, or not conservative (Ivanka care, pork infrastructure spending, Rino care). I do not accept that criticism of Donald Trump is ipso facto out of bounds nor do I submit to your censorship of my beliefs just as I do not accept you traducing my reputation when falsely calling me a Trump hater. It is for the good of the Republic that every president, not excluding George Washington himself, has been criticized. Any other condition, such as we had under the Alien and Sedition Acts, is but the threshold to tyranny.

You had your say now but the fair minded reader of this thread knows I have merely cited Donald Trump's own words. You will have to wait until next time for your electronic lynching.
