    You are an asshole.

    This "classical liberal" stuff is what assholes come up with when they are acting as though they actually have a brain.

    Please stop libeling conservatives and conservatism. All that we ask is that you not lie about us. We'll stand on, and defend our own record, and our own principles. We neither answer for nor excuse Republicans.

    Ohhh...and you asked so nicely.

    But it ain't gonna happen. The American conservatives of this forum are some of the scummiest people ever to pollute planet Earth.

    If you don't want to hear that...put me on ignore.

    One does not have to "lie" in order to call the American conservatives here...scum.

    In fact, it is much easier if one tells the truth...which is what I am doing.


    We'll stand on, and defend our own record, and our own principles. We neither answer for nor excuse Republicans.

    Do whatever you want. But if one of the things you want to do is to tell me what I should do...

    ...it ain't gonna work.

    K?

    Guilty as charged!
    There is absolutely nothing whatsoever impolite about:
    "Please post a quotation from a posting member that you consider in this category. Then please explain why you favor such poster with the appellation "conservative". Good luck w/ that." s

    "But it ain't gonna happen."

    My point PRECISELY.

    You WILL not corroborate your false accusation, because
    you CANNOT corroborate your false accusation against conservatives, because
    you LIED.

    Republicans are not political conservatives. And as long as you continue to conflate them with us, you will continue to be wrong. You obviously don't have a problem with that.
    "The American conservatives of this forum are some of the scummiest people ever to pollute planet Earth.
    If you don't want to hear that...put me on ignore."
    I don't need your guidance on how to handle trolls cupcake.
    I already provided you an opportunity to corroborate your bogus claim. You didn't even attempt it. You have proved my point.

    Thank you T #20.

    For those that don't know, I had this one in mind:
    The Republicans again nominated Jefferson for president in 1800. For vice president they nominated Aaron Burr. Jefferson and Burr each polled 73 electoral votes. President Adams came next with 65 votes. The tie in the electoral vote threw the election into the House of Representatives, where a deadlock ensued in the Federalist-dominated chamber until Jefferson won election on the 36th ballot. *

    and the North didn't want slaves to count at all, which is pretty much reflected in how they treated blacks after the civil war, so there you go--our founding fathers sucked.

    Which "founding fathers" were still alive after the Civil War? Why did they suck?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    1) They are all undead. That is what happens when conservatives won't let them rest in peace.

    2) They all wore tight pants and wigs. It was like Pride 365 days a year

    Not a logical refutation, just a vulgar contradiction.
    How low an intellect would be required to find such a post persuasive?

    Who's "Franck"?

    Since Krugman is always wrong, this is good news. Especially in light of the destruction that The Obama caused...
