What was that you were saying?


who is all bombastic about right wing politics.


Why is it "bombast" when I express a conservative
point of view in a calm and reasoned tone -- but not
when liberals hysterically attack me for it, insult me,
threaten my life, and wish painful death on me simply
for being a Republican?

Perhaps you'd be kind enough to explain that to me.
And please type slowly; you know how dumb we conser-
vatives are. I'm not a philosophically complex person,
so I may need help when it comes to understanding the
sophistry involved.


If he just got rid of his political posturing, he
might be worthy of some worthwhile childfree
discussion.


Why is it "posturing" with me but not with you and
your fellow liberals?


Other than that, what more do you want to know?


I can't speak for the other poster, but since you
ask, something *I'd* like to know is whether you
think it might be a wee bit hypocritical of you to
ride my ass for fueling a crossposted thread, and
then turn around and post to it twice yourself.

Because George Bush really, really screwed up badly. By doing so, he
put such a massive quantity of political capital into his enemies' bank
account that nothing a conservative can say is listened to, and nothing
a liberal can say is wrong. Content is irrelevant.

Keep your head down, because everything you say just invites abuse. No
matter what you do, you can't win, so don't even bother to play. Bide
your time, husband your resources and don't strike until the moment is
right. Right now, the moment is not right.

Oh, cross-posting isn't so bad - it's a nice way to meet people.

Like Elizabeth - she seems nice.

You know, for an American Idol guy you speak pretty good.

What's with that?

Only to the tendentious, the shrill, and the intellectually
undisciplined. And I eat those people for metaphorical
breakfast every day.

"Just go with the flow," in other words, "and you won't
get hurt." Defeatist nonsense. The Left certainly
didn't follow that advice during the Reagan era, in
the wake of the Carter debacle, so why would I?

No. That's a hoop, and I don't do hoops. But I'll
provide you with what you need to find examples your-
self, giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming
that you're truly interested. Google my name in con-
junction with "Pete" in alt.support.childfree.

Why would you immediately be so skeptical as to make
such a request?

I needed to verify that you weren't a sock puppet for a neo-con who's a
*lot* meaner than you.

What's a "hoop." Are you saying that I'm asking you to give me somthing
to screw you with?
