You declined the opportunity to point out where Ron Paul on three issues is not conservative.
It’s generally true someone posts an article on this forum because one is fully in agreement with its contents or because one wants to underscore the absurdities of the moonbat left.
That is not "generally true." People post articles here all day long simply for the opportunity to discuss. There are parts of the article I do agree with. There are other parts I disagree with. I wanted to hear what others on this forum thought about the article, and most people who responded gave thoughtful input.
You - more intellectual than wise - chose instead to fling bile.
You're wrong in your accusations against me, and rather than acknowledge your error and apologize for your nasty remarks, you just offer more ridiculous and completely unfounded accusations.
I think your attitude and behavior are more in line with what you claim to be your "former" liberal self.
What I think is that you are a globalist, that national sovereignty means nothing to you, and to defend your globalist positions you can only reach back to that playbook your "former" colleagues on the left utilized: Call 'em racists!
To deflect from the globalist agenda you support, you attempt to smear as an anti-semite anyone who isn't in favor of erasing our national identity in favor of becoming citizens of the world.
I further suspect you spend your days writing editorials for some left-leaning newspaper somewhere - your writing style, inability to acknowledge that you are wrong, desire to shift the debate in order to deflect from your own shortcomings and to reshape those you disagree with as "loathsome and despicable" - it all adds up to that most lowly of lows: the editorial page editor. Sure, maybe you're an accountant or a janitor, but you dream of being an editorial page editor, don't you?
You can't defend the statements you've made, but you're too arrogant or foolish (likely both) to admit them. So you just compound them, ignoring anything that might threaten your ego.
You owe me an apology. You posted nasty statements about me personally that were unfounded and untrue. At least act like you have some honor.
Apologize.
Commercial artist, thanks. Oh, and a published genre novelist and award-winning, literary short-story writer, too. Like most people with liberal arts degrees, I’ve also been a waiter, a carpenter, and—for three very long years—a dishwasher. And even if I was a janitor, I know there’s no shame in honest work. I come from a long line of farmers and coal miners. Professional status is simply not a concern. Also, while I’m brandishing background and credentials, I’m an airborne infantry veteran, a former weapons squad leader.
About honor, since you brought it up: I once had a karate sensei who asked, ‘What is honor?’ because some of the younger men in the dojo thought honor was something worth fighting for although none could define it when directly asked. He answered the question: ‘Honor is being held in the esteem of men of character.’
You posted a piece of extremist, paranoid nonsense and—when pressed—attempt to distance yourself from the ideas and sentiments expressed in its content. Here’s a splash of cold, hard reality: you’re simply not going to mainstream guys like Ron Paul, the Illuminati is not pulling the strings, aliens did not cross an ocean of space and time in order to abduct you for experimentation, and that anal probe you dream about is strictly wishful thinking.
Being held in your esteem is of no consequence to me.
No apology.
