Seriously that is my response. Bout the only response you rate, but I'm glad to see that you paid attention.

That's progress.

WOW!!!!

What stunning wit you exhibit.

It's almost so blindingly brilliant that it is washing out the colors on my monitor.

Poor little would-be Messiah.  We here are just too stupid to recognize the "gold" and "wisdom" you attempt to spew at us.  Maybe you should try Scientology.  Or just start your own cult!  Sure, you'll have to hold the had and wipe the nose of every sheep-like follower you manage to attract, but they'll appreciate your obtuseness and obstinacy.  Narcissism seems to be your strong suit so I'm sure you'll cope.

Either that or getting a gig as a dictionary editor.

Now now...  why should he continue to cast pearls before we mere swine?

We have clearly been bested and should therefore acknowledge his superiority.

I don't care for scientology.  Thank you though.


Sad part is I don't think some, maybe most of the individuals I've had the pleasure or mispleasure of sparring with are necessarily too stupid to recognize the "gold" and "wisdom" I attempted to spew at them, just too prejudiced and too narrow minded.

Well it's a free country, be as prejudiced and as narrow minded as you wish.

How very gracious of you to admit that.

But then again:

Allow me to reiterate for Nick:


How simplistic of you to accuse those that disagree with you of not "paying attention" to what you think you have clearly stated.

Here's a tip for you:

If a single person doesn't get your point, it might be them not paying attention.

If two people don't get your point, start thinking about your presentation.

If three or more people don't get your point, then you have done a piss poor job of conveying it.

I will reiterate as I find needed.


Ya see Nick, all joking and kidding aside.  You haven't done a very good job of convincing folks to see things your way.

All you have resorted to merely claiming that it is "their" fault for not paying attention.

But what the hell.  It's a free county right?  At least it used to be until the Liberals ****ed it up.

Don't bother with him, gents--douchebag is so full of himself he doesn't see that guy lurking around the corner with the ball peen hammer.

ETA: And while I've been listening, I still haven't heard you refute the assertion that liberals are far more likely to exploit a tragedy for political gain.  But run along, little boy, the adults are back in control here, so unless you want your nose rubbed in the shit again, either have something constructive to say, or just sit on the sidelines, m'kay?

You know...you might not get quite the reaction you do...if you didn't act like such an arrogant prick who believes he is the smartest guy in the room.

When all you're doing in reality is coming off as the biggest dumb ass on the forum.

I guess he's upset about being out-classed by TNO and is vying for the No. 1 slot.

I've tried to be civil to him since he's a friend of Thor's.  But you're right he's now competing with TNO for the prize of "Most Arrogant Libtard on the Internets".

My civility with him is about done.

Wow.  No one falls at your feet to marvel at the profundity of your wisdom and you therefore label them "stupid", "prejudiced", and "too narrow minded"?

Yep, definitely a lib.  A typical, boorish, elitist liberal.

I have learned, through years of practical experience, that you really see the true character of a person when they are pushed.  You are no different.

You don't need to be civil to Nick just because of me. Nick can handle himself. I'm just trying to remain objective when it comes to this thread.

I'm inclined to label someone as "stupid," "prejudiced,"  and "too narrow minded" for actually believing my MO was to prompt "falling at my feet to marvel at the profundity of my wisdom."

Ah so some=all is that a fact?


But nothing proving "ALL"



By all means get as mean as you wish. 

It's a free country.  And I'm used to it anyway.




I simply request logical proof. 



If the proof is out there I haven't seen it yet.


Oh I'd be happy to.

Ya ready?


In case this isn't obvious I'm an avowed Liberal.  I also happen to be a registered Democrat.


I don't blame Republicans, American Conservatives, or President Bush for........

9/11

Katrina

Columbine 


Nor do I see Haiti as a proof of global warming or evidence that we need socialized medicine.


Frankly it's illogical to blame Republicans/American Conservatives for anything as they are a diverse group and blaming anything on a heterogenous demographic is the epitome of senseless.


That makes at least 1 Liberal Democrat out there that isn't inclined to politicize everything as you have insisted otherwise.

the existence of just one (course there are more) pretty much disproves the premise that all Liberals are inclined to politicize everything and/or blame Republicans for everything.



Thank you and have a fine Navy day!!!!


Are you a liberal Democrat?

Maybe you're not really a liberal.

Maybe you're just a ***** who is too scared of the moniker "conservative".

Forgive me as I am late to the dance, and am going though the thread -- but I think the bolded section is clearly apparent.   Liberal democrat?   I am guessing no.

Perhaps a Liberal Conservative but I don't like to call myself a "Conservative" because it makes me feel old.

Ok, now is this thread worth reading through 12 pages?     I am already  :yawn:
