When I first got here, the retards responded to every opinion I had with the word "TROLL." That was their label for anything they didn't want to hear. All I'm doing is giving them back what they are shoveling. They obviously are not used to that in this safe space. Maybe it'll make them grow up and learn how to think and debate. Right now, they are a bunch of children.

On 80% of the country being mainstream conservatives: the Gallup poll referenced in the article states that 37% Americans self-identify as conservatives; how do you get 80% from that? Also, it's worth noting that there are no definitions of conservative in the poll, so whether they conform to your definition cannot be stated.

Gallup, (and other polls) mostly call Democrats.

I like your list of conservative values, though it's pretty simplistic. But I'm not criticizing because, to be fair, I asked a large, open-ended question.


Simplistic probably because the education level in this place isn't exactly Rhodes Scholar tiers. A long time ago when I briefly taught Business English at a community college in Orlando, I told my students they had to find ways to use as few words as possible to get their message across. Long winded certainly doesn't work here, especially with the massive amount of windbags you have.


I can say with certainty that many non-conservatives would agree with some of these, and possibly with most, depending on the details.

That is a joke. Woke Liberals wipe their asses on the rule of law. They look at "Free market" anything like a turd in the swimming pool. They look at secure borders as racist.


For example, adherence to the rule of law, adherence to the Constitution (basically the same things), a trustworthy election system, freedom balanced with personal responsibility, streamline government, secure borders. I like free market capitalism so long as its excesses are checked.

Like I said, Woke Liberals wipe their asses on the Constitution. Personal Responsibility, to a Woke? Might as well call a nun a whore.


Unfettered capitalism leads to disaster, every time.

In history, there has NEVER been a case of unfettered capitalism. It has absolutely never been tried. Government involvement in capitalism always leads to disaster and that has always been a constant in history.


I have no idea what you mean by protection of the family unit.

The nuclear family unit of husband (male) and wife (female) to take care of and raise children is the ONLY reason the human race hasn't gone totally extinct over the centuries.

(The book Men and Marriage by George Gilder is an excellent source of information, in case the concept of FAMILY is alien to you. Also, you might want to research individual state Family Law statutes, all of which were carefully crafted by state legislatures to preserve the nuclear family. Just because ignorant uneducated Woke Libs hate the idea of a regular family doesn't diminish it's monumental importance over the history of mankind.)

It has been under attack from liberalism probably since the mid-Sixties with the Great Society welfare plantation. Welfare has destroyed families, created a permanent underclass of dependents and accounts for most of the crime in the large cities.

I will respond to some of the specific issues individually but for now a general comment. I find it fascinating and puzzling that I am writing to you, Reason10, talking about your thoughts and opinions, but you are responding to some nebulous group of people you don't like. That's weird, and frankly dehumanizing and insulting. It comes across as a passive-aggressive way of trying to tell me what I think. How can I have a discourse with someone who doesn't acknowledge what I am telling them that I believe, but insists on ascribing to me some set of opinions held by others?

I can only share my experiences and thoughts in good faith. If you don't think I am acting in good faith, muster the balls to say so. I mean, why even engage at all if you think that?

Perhaps you should ask this "nebulous" group of retards why, when I first arrived, referred to me as a TROLL. Kinda hard to like someone who first the first insults.


That's weird, and frankly dehumanizing and insulting.

But calling me a troll merely for having conservative opinions isn't weird, dehumanizing and insulting. Got it.

I didn't call you a troll. Your selective moral outrage has a glitch in the aiming scope.

All I've done here is post my views in good faith. And pretty much all I've gotten is insult after insult, from the Goose Steppers and Cross Burners here. I'm fair with people. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. If they want to be brats, they are going to be treated like brats, simple as that.


As you may have accidentally discovered, I'm pretty capable of discussing issues without it getting personal. As soon as some of the Hitler Youth here grow a brain and douse the fire on their crosses, perhaps their small minds could stand a little challenging.

You continue to do it. I don't need to ask anyone else anything. I am responsible for what I write, and that's it. What do they have to do with me?

I did not say that, so again don't put words in my mouth. And stop deflecting. The way you continue to ignore what I am saying while responding to me is weird.

Same as previous answer.

I empathize. I participate in another forum, where the overwhelming majority share your political opinions, and it is one long bash fest, of dismissive one-liners, insults, and so on directed at me while I have remained civil. I have mostly given up there, not because of the behavior but simply because none of them are interested in what I have to say. It's a waste of time.

However, I don't think I've seen one epithet-free post from you. So no, I have not yet seen you discuss issues without getting personal.

Manhattan D.A. Recruits Top Prosecutor for Trump Inquiry
The Manhattan district attorney has enlisted a former federal prosecutor who is an expert on white-collar crime to join the team investigating the Trump family business.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/18/n...manhattan.html

No spineless Repube senators to protect you here, Donny! SERIOUS prison time in your future.

[RickeyM]

They won't be able to protect him but I guarantee they'll be crying about how the plaintiffs and prosecutors are being so unfair to poor Donny. Look for Sir Grift-A-Lot to continue begging for money for his legal defenses.
