Leftist "logic" as well as ignorance of both history and Constitutional law has caused you, as usual, to be DEAD WRONG AGAIN .
In 1876, Democrat Samuel Tilden won the popular vote in the presidential race, with Republican Rutherford B. Hayes also trailing in the initial electoral vote. Republicans protested, and to resolve the dispute, Congress created a bipartisan commission that included five Supreme Court justices. It was Justice Joseph Bradley who proved the swing vote, siding with Hayes and giving the Republican a 185-184 electoral vote win.
Moreover, what exact kind of federalism are you blathering about?
Dual, cooperative, creative, fiscal, new or some other bizarre form of "federalism" that you just made up in your mind?

You seriously don't know what you're babbling about with regard to this issue.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 12-09-2020).]

Another post from forum member randye that I am pleased not to read.
Obviously, I'm aware of it. I've seen what it's about and have read some of the words. Few of the words. Enough of the words.
That looks to me like the kind of message that could get forum member randye in trouble again, in this New Forum Rules era that was declared on August 15, 2020, by the forum's owner and moderator. It's certainly a step in that direction. Considering that forum member (now ex-forum member) Boondawg was just banned.
Whobody knows?[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 12-09-2020).]

DEAD WRONG AGAIN
The 12th Amendment to the United States Constitution says you are DEAD WRONG AGAIN
I really wish that you would show at least a tiny bit of respect for the members of this forum and do just a minimum amount of basic, high school level American civics, study before you blow off with Leftist nonsense on these issues.

Again?
Why don't you enlighten the class and tell everyone precisely how it is "again" as you state.
It seems as though as closely as you follow every post I make on this forum, even to the point of obsessively counting my posts, you above anyone else would know that I haven't received even ONE probation since the "new rules" were established. NOT ONE
Additionally, if you have some kind of bug up your butt about your buddy bongdog being banned then take it up with Cliff Pennock because I didn't ban him.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 12-10-2020).]

Oh get off your high horse. You were one of the main reasons why these "new rules" were implemented here in the first place.
It seems your biggest pleasure in life has been reduced to trying to belittle people on a car forum.
So far, you've (apparently) been able to continue to do so within the "new rules".
Doesn't mean you're any less obnoxious... you're just more careful.

Your personal OPINION doesn't make anything a fact Patrick.
Tell you what, how about you get Cliff Pennock to state what the "main reasons why these "new rules" were implemented here" or get off YOUR high horse.
While we're at it, what exactly does your post have to do with anything regarding the topic of this thread other than the sole purpose of you personally attacking me without provocation.... AGAIN[This message has been edited by randye (edited 12-10-2020).]

Your attempt at humor (it was an attempt, right?) is hilarious... coming from the guy who has spent years going from thread to thread here, stalking PFF members whom he considers to be inferior... due to their vocation, their education, their perceived IQ... whatever reason he feels is worthy of being mocked.
You must be an absolute delight to be around in person. OMG.

As much as it goes against my general preferences for this moment, I will respond very directly to this message from forum member randye.
I don't have a "bug up my butt" about Boondawg having been banned earlier today. I brought it up because I thought it might make you pause and consider that today (or yesterday, by now) the forum's owner and moderator gave evidence that he is "on the job" in so far as being the moderator of this forum. Boondawg's been banned. How can that be explained, except by the "hand" of the forum's moderator?
It's interesting that you say that you have not received even one probation SINCE the New Forum Rules were established (on August 15, 2020.) As far as I know, you have never been put on probation. I do know that quite some time ago now, the moderator deleted two of your messages. I know what the messages were. I have a screen copy of one of your moderator-deleted messages saved on my hard drive.
When the New Forum Rules era was established on August 15, 2020, you immediately started toeing the line by reducing the constancy and the ugliness of your violative public messaging on this forum. You "downsized" that aspect of your participation, at least enough to get by in this brave new world of Forum Rules. I just shortened "New Forum Rules" to "Forum Rules" because that's really what it is. It's not new rules. It's a new emphasis on the rules being upheld with consistency and attentiveness by the moderator, who gave fair warning, on August 15, 2020.
I lean towards the theory that the moderator used the Private Messages mode to send you a strongly worded warning about your behavior. A "cease and desist" order. I don't know that for a fact, but it seems far more likely than the other idea, that you saw "the writing on the wall" and proactively modified your behavior. You're not proactive. You're reactive.
Now I see that you are pushing back (again) against the forum rules. I see you testing the waters to see how much you can get away with. I see you going out of your way to try to provoke and insult other members, instead of discussing the topics that come up in a civil way, as is called out at the very beginning of the posting guidelines--that "sticky" thread that is always at the top of the Totally O/T part of the forum's list of topics. You've been cautious, but clearly, you are now trying to push the envelope, hoping that you can reestablish the "bad old days" when you were free to create absolutely any kind of public message whatsoever, without the slightest regard for civility or any of the norms of civilized discussions.
I never tried to count the number of your violative public messages. They are in the thousands and strewn across hundreds of different topics in the record of this forum. That's just an estimate. A conservative estimate. Anyone who is truly familiar with your "body of work" can attest to that.
As far as this assertion that I chase you around on this forum and obsess over your posts--that's ridiculous. That's as stupid on your part as if you were suddenly become the Benito Mussolini of 20th century history--"El Duce"--and were complaining about myself (and some other forum members) as being too "bossy" and "domineering" for your liking. You're projecting.
I don't know what will happen if you continue to push the envelope and resume your violative behaviors, as they were plain for anyone here to see before the "edict" of August 15, 2020.
Do you?[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 12-10-2020).]

Once again you are DEAD WRONG
But you do concoct some wild fantasies.
I also shouldn't have to remind you that YOU are not the arbiter of what is, or isn't. permissible to post on this forum.

Yep. It's "utterly ridiculous" when you admit that you are actually archiving my posts on a hard drive. 
Now back to the thread topic.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 12-10-2020).]
