Are we better off with a discredited FBI?

[Ross Dolan]

I don't know if it would be impossible....but certainly a sane person wouldn't do it......

Not sure why you think that.

If you KNOW a thing...you do not have to "believe" it. You KNOW it.

 

[Ross Dolan]

if one didn't believe beliefs would they also not know knowledge?......

Wow. That was terrible.

You trying for laughs?

 

[Ross Dolan]

Which he is exhibiting.

Now you want it to be essential that people "believe" "beliefs."

Incredible.

 

[Ross Dolan]

Discovering? I pegged you from the beginning as a stubborn hypocrite, no different than your fellow libs, and you did not disappoint.

Ooda...where ya been?

I am a bit stubborn...especially when dealing with people like you and USF.

I am not, however, a liberal...if that is what you are saying.

And I most definitely am not a hypocrite.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Not sure why you think that.

If you KNOW a thing...you do not have to "believe" it. You KNOW it.

so you believe.....that might cover knowing if you had oatmeal for breakfast........sort of shaky on things you didn't witness or things you perceive with a faulty perception (a yuuge body of data in your case)........

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Wow. That was terrible.

sorry if that is what you believe.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I am not, however, a liberal...if that is what you are saying.

And I most definitely am not a hypocrite.

I believe you are wrong about both......

 

[MAGA MAN]

Where have I been? Unlike you, I have a life.

Oh, you're a lib all right. You're just too ashamed to admit it.

 

[Ross Dolan]

so you believe.....that might cover knowing if you had oatmeal for breakfast........sort of shaky on things you didn't witness or things you perceive with a faulty perception (a yuuge body of data in your case)........

I actually did have oatmeal...mixed with a bit of granola and raisins...for breakfast. (Just a short while ago, with a glass of OJ.)

No need to "believe" that I did...I know I did.

 

[Ross Dolan]

sorry if that is what you believe.....

It is my opinion that is was terrible.

 

[Ross Dolan]

I believe you are wrong about both......

Guess whatever you want...and call it "believing" if you want to mask the fact that you are guessing.

Okay with me.

 

[Ross Dolan]

Where have I been? Unlike you, I have a life.

I have a life...a very full one. But right now the golf courses are either closed...or not in the condition I enjoy.

Oh, you're a lib all right. You're just too ashamed to admit it.

Nah...I am not a liberal. No shame in being a liberal...but I am not.

If I were an American conservative...I might be ashamed to admit it.

Luckily, I have enough personal pride not to be one of those.

 

[MAGA MAN]

Nah...I am not a liberal. No shame in being a liberal...but I am not.

LOL You hate conservatives but won't admit to being liberal. Too funny.

 

[Ross Dolan]

LOL You hate conservatives but won't admit to being liberal. Too funny.

I do not hate conservatives. MOST of my friends and over half of my family are conservatives...and I love them dealy.

I do despise American conservatism...and I deplore the fact that they subscribe to what I consider a cancer on the body politic of America.

AND...I am not a liberal.

I champion a progressive agenda...but I do not subscribe to the label "liberal." I realize that for some American conservatives, anyone who does not march in jack boot lock step with the conservative movement...is considered "a liberal."

Tough.

Progressivism = liberalism.

 

[Ross Dolan]

Progressivism = liberalism.

I prefer not to use labels like that, Ooda.

I am not a progressive...even though I mostly champion a progressive agenda.

I also am not a liberal.

I also am not a conservative.

I understand there are people like you who want to be dictated to by the American conservative agenda.

I also understand there are others who want to be dictated to by the American liberal agenda.

I prefer not to have that problem.

Some of my agenda items (a majority) favor progressive agenda items. Some of my agenda items (relatively few) are more in tune with conservative views...although they probably come from a different perspective than the prevailing American conservative dictates.

But...if it makes your life a happier place to think that I am a liberal...

...go for it. I'm going to be happy no matter what you do.

You like to label conservatives and assert that they follow an agenda lock-step, but prefer not to have yourself labeled and insist that you are a free thinker. Got it.

 

[Ross Dolan]

Glad you got it!

American conservatives DO seem to march in lock-step. American liberals sorta do also...but even they are more diverse and willing to step outside their boundaries than American conservatives.

Yup.

And you are right...I insist I am a free thinker. One who makes mistakes, I acknowledge...but, yes. I am a free thinker.

Again: You like to label conservatives and assert that they follow an agenda lock-step, but prefer not to have yourself labeled and insist that you are a free thinker. Thanks for confirming that you are exactly like every other liberal who posts here.

Not exactly. You ought to be a bit more precise...but I guess you allow your anger to rule you.

In any case, I am a free thinker. (Never realized that had anything to do with political sensibilities.)
