35-Jack; I don’t like responding to your type but I’ll give it one shot.
You said, “Are you so unsure of your own opinions that you can’t stand to have them challenged?” “Are you so afraid of discussion that you go to sites where you expect to only find friendly agreement to everything you say?”
Jack, I give you BC: He starts off:
“Gawd, what maroons — it’s these types of discussions and commentaries that have have helped create the growing perception that RINO-bashing, self-proclaimed “real conservatives” are basically just angry, malicious nutcases. This far, FAR right nonsense would have made your beloved Ayn Rand become a Powell Republican.”
Sounds reasonable enough. Nothing shrill, no broad-brushing. (bad spelling maybe–did he mean macaroons, or morons?–or we’re marooned?-anyway) Certainly someone I’d like to have in a discussion, wouldn’t you? “Here, let me punch you and your friends in the eye and then let’s all have a nice chat…” Very inviting Jack. Boy I’d like to do that all day long, wouldn’t you?
Actually, I do frequent this site for the good what you might call Conservative opinions and information–but Conservative of course is now a dirty word in Newspeak, so you probably just cringed twice.
And I learn–a lot. From terrific input. But not from trolls, though. Their message is always the same drum beat and has the same stinky taunting and negativity. It just scares me that people would prostitute themselves like that. Mind you there are some well thought out points, but it’s not from the Trolls. Their anger is personal and their motives are clearly suspect.
Now you might, but I wouldn’t go down to the biker bar and start haranguing them about their beliefs and way of life, now would I? Not smart. (But if I could taunt them anonymously and I had a real dislike for bikers, I could raise their hackles leaving anonymous insults around the bar and watch them fume.) But neither of them is really all that civil, is it? My mind’s made up I don’t like them, but they have a right to their way of life assuming it’s within the law. (Ooooo..smacks of “diversity”..but not the kind you had in mind when it comes to Conservative values, now is it?)
Similarly, I don’t go to Huffblow or the NYTimes for information or to pick fights or challenge liberals. If it did some good I might. But I don’t. It wouldn’t. And I don’t agree with this “get in their faces” trip Obama told you guys to do and your mindset cultivates. It’s bullying, intimidation, coercion and hateful. That’s wrong, by the way. I know the playbook says it’s OK, but it’s NOT. The ends DON’T justify the means.
Similarly, trolls don’t do you any service. It just confirms our knowledge of where you’re coming from all the more. For that I should possibly thank you, but I won’t. It’s become a nuisance.
So this brings me to why, Jack? What’s your point? You gonna be one of the ones they call on to turn me in for not being “fair” or “open-minded”, young brown shirt? You see where you’re coming from?
Are you starting to realize you’re policing me? What do you want, Jack–a fairness doctrine for every blog and website? How very SS of you. And don’t laugh it off—that’s EXACTLY where all this is heading.
Wake up, bud. You’re being herded into a facist mindset. Just look at today’s Greenie, pro-death, gaylib and climate control idiocy “political correctness” doctrines. You libs are INDIGNANT if someone doesn’t subscribe to any part of this insanity and will shout down and destroy anyone who dares to oppose it. Nice free world you believe in, bud.
So my answer is (you did ask the question) NO–I’m not unsure of my opinions–can you tell? And NO, I’m not afraid of discussion. That doesn’t mean I have to subject myself to anything some one wants to throw at me, or swim in a cesspool looking for McNuggets. I know where the good food is. You apparently have to troll our sites for anything substantive. Think about that.
I just hope your last name doesn’t become Boot, Jack, cuz that was your tone. Same as BC, and a slew of others. God deliver us.
Have I said enough? Let me know if you need more–maybe someone else would like to try and straighten you out. (I do hope there’s hope for you, by the way. You SHOULD read Ayn Rand if you haven’t.)
