They are the enemy of the very system of government they say they are protecting.

I may not come across in the same way some members do, that's just my style; there is a reason for it.

Without delving too deeply into my background, let's just say I have firsthand experience with the subversive tactics being currently employed in our country and on this Forum, and have fought against those tactics my entire adult life.

I detest liars and traitors, and I see them here on this small Forum.


I used boldface to highlight some words and phrases that are so far off the mark that they come across as hallucinatory or delusional, not unlike some of the criminally insane garbage that's being spewed by Defendant Trump, of late... like Trump's "back in the day" reference when he mused about the idea of having General Mark A. Milley executed for treason.

This, however, equally defies my belief:

Yeah... "right." I suppose if olejoedad told us about any of this, "he'd have to kill us!"

You are the one who lacks capacity to understand how to make someone else look foolish. You can't just say it is true because you say it is true. Any complete fool can call someone else foolish.

Instead you have to do like and post facts or information to back up your opinion. For example, remember when you lied and claimed that you had read reviews of my work as an attorney. When I showed that you were lying that made you look real stupid.

You have never been able to post anything to make me look foolish. All you do is squeal your opinion with nothing to back it up.




I've mostly dropped out of the Politics forum. Occasionally I go in here to see if there's anything interesting, and I see the same nonsense... which in my opinion, makes it largely a waste of my time. But I wanted to address something that I think about when I read your posts, but then often forget to mention.

People like Patrick for example... I think they believe in their minds that their views are the right ones, as do I. But what I mean by that is... they want for good, and like others of competing politics, we also want for good... we just believe in a different way of achieving the same goal. And, so... it becomes a matter of opinion.

You are not like this. Almost everything you post, in every discussion, you intentionally gear the discussion about you. The distinction here and others is that I do not think your opinions have anything to do with empathy, or a desire to make things better. Instead, your conveyance has far more to do with your desire to be viewed as "correct." To an extent, it becomes an obsession to satisfy an inherent need for attention that you have, which you may not even be aware of. When you don't get it, you seek it out. An example of this is your bestiality post, or intentionally looking for specific posts to make a comment, even when it's clear you have nothing of value to add.

I hate being an ass... I really do. Maybe you don't care or take what I say in a mean way, and hopefully you don't, but I think your perception IS different from others. I've found you struggling in many situations, with many people on here, during the short time you've been here, and as I've said before, you exhibit strong ASD / Asperger's Syndrome tendencies. I mention this not to be an ******* about it, but because a lot of your behavior is borderline narcissistic. There is often an extremely thin line between narcissism and Asperger's, which is caused by the inability to properly "infer" communication and behavior, which leads to an extremely ego-syntonic personality. https://kennethrobersonphd....ssism-aspergers-one/

Now, full disclosure so you know where I am coming from, COMPLETELY...

Part of me is extremely annoyed at you, and while there is certainly a tit-for-tat aspect to this, I am genuinely interested in helping you, because I am very sure that what you're experiencing here on Pennock's in most of your interactions, is not unlike other situations you've found yourself in throughout your life. If you've ever found yourself in situations where you simply do not understand why social situations are difficult, or you have difficulty connecting with others and things you say and do are not received in the same manner in which you intend them, there is a good chance that you have ASD ... and you wouldn't even know it.


I encourage you to go down this path, and I mean this seriously: How to Get Tested for Autism as an Adult

I am sorry, but this is just a delusional speaking point without any facts to back it up.

I will be more than happy to have a debate on this issue with you if you will post some facts to support your opinion. But I am not going to waste my time with illogical rants. All you are doing is blindly parroting speaking points from the right-wing echo chamber.

So letrs see your facts so we can discuss this like adults.

Actually the complete opposite is true.

I post facts. YOU are the one who posts nothing but your own opinion with nothing to back it up.

I depend on facts to support my claims. You depend on your claims to be omniscient.

You are the one with issues of narcissism. I don't think I can ever win any debate just "because I say so", but you do that all the time.

Here is what I do know and can 100% prove with facts.

You don't care about discussing the issues brought up in this thread. All you want to do is personally attack me. Seriously, let me see all the posts you have made in this thread regarding the topic of the thread. You don't even pretend to care about the topic. You are obsessed with stalking me. And now you have a protege in oldjoedad.

You will NEVER see me making a post just to attack someone unless it is a response to attack from someone else. But you and oldjoe constantly just drop into threads to insult me without saying anything about the topic of discussion. And you don't even have any shame about it. Personally, I would be embarrassed by this obsessive behavior.
