#95 venividivici – Oh thank god. Treason is ok because you don’t like something Obama did. Thank god we cleared that up.
Thanks for completely ignoring a clear point and searching for another one because you didn’t like having to deal with the thought of another American advocating shooting at other Americans. You ducked the question, you know it, and by doing so you admitted I’m right. The blood is on your hands next time one of these morons drives their tractors down to the White House and starts shooting up the place.
Pathetic.
That’s why civil wars are always so destructive. That said, they cleanse the body politic of what ails it.
Besides your trying to minimize the obvious provocation inherent in Obama’s thugocracy tactics, the problem I have with your calling me “treasonous” is that I don’t recognize your legitimacy as judge of my guilt or innocence in political matters. I value your opinion on what is and isn’t treasonous in America as much as I would value the opinion of one of those tribesmen anthropologists run into in the Amazon forest from time to time. Zero. Zilch. Nada. The person you are conversing with on the other side of this computer views you as a non-person.
I already stated my preference for a nice, peaceful partition of a political union that obviously isn’t working any more. Do you think it’s working? What’s working about it? When two sides of a debate cannot agree on even the most basic of foundations, how can there be real debate? I don’t feel like I’m debating you, I feel like I’m biding my time until we come to blows. There is not one single abstract political concept you and I agree on. I side with Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Madison et al. You side with a South Side punk. There is no common ground for us to build on, only power politics.
The sticking point is clearly that each side bides its time until it can get in charge of the behemoth, when the clearly rational thing to do is split it up. If that call isn’t heeded, over time shooting is probably inevitable. So? It’s happened in every country that’s ever existed in the history of the planet, including our own. It’s built into human nature. Again, the idea that you would have some legitimate opinion that I should consider is outside of the realm of my political perspective. You are a roadblock and useless to me. If you think that down the road I’d have some problem doing the shooting, you’re wrong. My political idol is Julius Caesar for crying out loud. I view politics the Roman way, as blood sport. My prediction is that soon, everyone will view them this way, especially as the political spoils system becomes the only growth game in town. Again, it’s human nature.
