It's an anonymous forum. So, why are the right-fringe GBers so scared?

[Exquisition]

Really? Then.you should put a list together although why anyone feels the need to do this is beyond me.

Well, I wasn't saying that the Right Wingers don't have a monopoly?

Out of interest, take a look at the first 3 pages of threads. How many of them are liberal-leaning attacking non-liberals?

Your.

And what you're showing about yourself is far more revealing.

So, why don't you tell me about it? I'm all ears.

You saw this thread and felt a need to come in and make a weak, non-commital argument in favor of the right-fringe cronies you like on this board.

You allowed yourself to get drawn into a debate where you refused to back up anything you claimed with examples.

You're now sticking around because you like the attention. It's not that difficult to figure out.

Best part: it adds credence to the premise of the thread.

 

[bronzeage]

you get lumped that way, don't you?

kbate does.
johnny savage struck me as leaning right but he got cast that way.

col. hogan doesn't.

There was a time when a conservative was a person who recognized the effect of government policy on everything, and wanted as little government as possible. Today's conservative is a person who claims they want as little government as possible, but really want government to make their life as comfortable as possible, but can't see any reason they should be expected to help pay for it. For example, it's hard to find conservative support for high speed rail, because there's not enough room for his SUV. There is plenty of support for another lane of concrete on the Interstate.

The blame lies squarely on those who won't speak up re: folks who share their political affinities, and call them on their bullshit.

What the fuck does that mean? How does calling someone on their bullshit change anything?

I'm not a missionary and I'm not here to convince anyone that they are wrong and I am right. I prefer to make my view known and that is sufficient. Sometimes when a person says something only once, it's easy to miss, but that's not my problem.

It's a demonstration of integrity. Integrity has the power to change things.

Example: someone spews hate, and you decide to respond with "I think that's uncool" because it's uncool - not keep silent because the person who said it has a vagina, and you're a horny old man.

Actually, I saw this thread and thought it looked interesting. What I was hoping for was a less biased and more tolerant thread than many of the threads that are created by conservatives. This is Lit, so I was naive.

You and many on the left and right like to argue for the sake of arguing and to show off how much you think you know and to demonstrate how you are the moderate and tolerant one.

I did not allow myself to get drawn into anything. I was simply conversing..Your problem is that I didn't agree with you so you switched to baiting me and making things personal.

As far as attention goes, you are grasping for straws. The only cred your thread has is that of showing what an immature ass you are.

 

[RoryN]

Your problem is that I didn't agree with you

As previously said by another poster, you're a liar. My problem with you is that you made an assertion you then refused to back up with evidence when called upon to do so.

(The rest of your post didn't contain enough substance to quote.)

So, now I'm a liar? I rest my case. You'll have to vent your intolerance and bs on someone else.

FWIW, the right doesn't have the monopoly on fear or bigotry on Lit.

I'm not sure anyone on the left here ever claimed that, unlike their wingnut counterparts the center and left-of-center folks typically do not deal in absolutes.

Having said that, it is my opinion that the fringe right has better than a ten-to-one edge in the sheer number of fear-mongering and bigoted posts made here.

Easy to do when you had none to begin with.

Your evidence. Any day now. Thanks!

Dear Lady, I think you've got a good reason why you disagree, but you're mysterious about the reasons.

Some people may find that attractive, but some may find you just insincere and selfjust.

If you don't give a fuck about that - don't expect others to be nice to you.

You have standing to teach others about integrity.

I tend to agree with your last statement

If you want to see that because I refuse to argue with someone their way means it's because I expect someone to be "nice" to me, you're as deluded as the op.

Someone's confused...

 

[LadyVer]

Rory, you seem to think that everything is either all or nothing. Life isn't like that. To me, as someone who sees that the right appears to have more my way or the highway extremists, as can be seen from this thread it's not just the right who has a monopoly on this.

Disgustipated, why is knowing who igged me an issue with you? Its people from both the right and left.

This is LadyVer, getting ready for a semantics argument re: "monopoly".

(That means you lose, sweet cheeks.)

Hmmm...self-reflection time?

No it's not people from both sides. It's dizzybooby and that's it. Don't lie.

Who knows? I'm.sure not everyone thinks they need to tell me they've igged me.

More confusion.

Then you're easily confused, obtuse or want me to keep commenting on your thread.

 

[KingOrfeo]

I admit to being a radical, but I'm not right fringe.

Psst: Radical libertarians are a right fringe. (One of several such.) Deal with it.

Yet, changing path requires change. Progress requires constant change.

And why is it growing up to espouse Conservative views? And where does Peter Pan fit in?

Well, let us examine the 'serious charge,' that I have a closed mine (ostensibly because I am a Libertarian, one of those political brands thrown under the big tent of "Conservatism") which I counter with a bit of background to demonstrate that my original emotional views were not written in stone when exposed to men of reason with differing philosophies that I could not counter and in the examination of my views, I changed my mind. This you ascribe to greed; I've got mine and I fear losing it coupled with the admonition that this was not part of any actual opening of the mind, but a predictable drift to conservatism because of the aforementioned fear of losing "wealth." The logical extension is then that I am still a closed mind but if I had stayed liberal, then it would indicate that wealth did not close my mind. Similarly I have to assume that beginning as a conservative and then morphing into a Liberal is also the tell of an open mind thusly bringing me to the ridiculous conclusion that, to Liberals, the definition of open-minded is simply being Liberal.

This is why I make the Peter Pan comment because the womb to the tomb Liberal might actually be the one afraid to grow up for fear of becoming that which they have been programmed to hate.

I would also say that I really have no fear of losing my wealth and possession, but rather I fear losing my ability to pursue wealth if that is the key to my pursuit of personal happiness. That actually makes me the true Liberal; I cannot help it that Socialism adopted the label and morphed it to mean emotionally educated in a college...



If you quietly accept and go along no matter what your feelings are, ultimately you internalize what you're saying, because it's too hard to believe one thing and say another. I can see it very strikingly in my own background. Go to any elite university and you are usually speaking to very disciplined people, people who have been selected for obedience.
