I never said that, or anything even remotely like that - and frankly someone ought to slap the sh-t out of you for even saying that.
you are conflating......on purpose.....because you ranted off without understanding what the thread was about. YOu are now lying your fanny off about what I said and what I meant, because it's the only way you can justify your response. Go ahead, deceive yourself if it makes you feel better....
Really? You said in post #59, concerning my comment about thanksgiving, that I was “just wasting folks’ time with a ridiculous drive by comment.” How else am I to take that? You are clearly suggesting my comments were ridiculous. I’m still sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out how a comment about honoring Thanksgiving is not relevant to a thread discussing the deterioration of Thanksgiving observance.
Furthermore, any reasonable reader can see you are inferring I’m siding with the communists, when in post #43 you purport to correct my wrongheadedness by informing me that only a “moron would think it’s good to agree with the anti commerce communists atheists in order to achieve it.” I don’t mind being called a moron. Some of the people I love best have done the same. But what on God’s green earth made you think I agree with commies on anything? Nothing I said gives you any warrant for thinking I did. That was your mistaken assumption (or else a very reckless phrasing on your part) and you won’t own it. Your choice.
BTW, just to make it clear, in my original post (responding to YOU, not the article), I specifically recognized the “free exercise of commerce,” which was put in there to preempt misunderstanding of my real position, and given with a phrasing I thought you, with your erudition and accomplishments, might enjoy. My ever so big mistake.
So no, I’m not lying about what you said. You’re just not hearing how what you said sounds to the person you said it. That’s *your* problem FRiend, not mine.
Anyway, I get it. You had a round in the chamber today and you were going to use it on somebody. My bad luck to think I could make a friendly comment to you. I thought we had enough history you would appreciate my effort to write up to your level. Boy was I wrong. No hard feelings. Sigh.
Peace,
SR
PS: For the record, I am a “dude,” but I’m way to old to actually feel comfortable being called that. :)
