Over the years your type has come and gone from here with regularity, each time burning furiously but briefly and never offering anything new but each one of you full of self-certainty and arrogance that you are deigning to lecture the poor, knuckle dragging, benighted, conservatives with your "magnificent knowledge and wisdom".

In short; You ain't nothin' new little fella.



First of all look around and see which side is losing members here.

Second of all this post just further proves my point. It is impossible for you to think for yourself or nave any discussion on these issues. you are just a programmed puppet that mindlessly repeats what you are programmed to say.

Any mention of wealth inequality problem.......Just repeat "Marxism" over and over again even though the entire discussion was framed to support a capitalist economy.

Any mention of gun regulations.......Just squeal about "liberals taking our guns" even though discussion was framed around no citizen being stopped from legally owning a gun.

You are too brainwashed to even understand the discussion. That is what happens when you live in an echo chamber. Your brain rots from lack of use.

Oh, Fred, we're still here.

We are just watching a few of you make fools of yourselves.

It actually quite entertaining to watch the echo chamber that you (and one other relatively new member) have been allowed to create.

Remember the old axiom about arguing with idiots?

It's much more fun to watch them when they are left alone....

Why beat around the bush like this, and in such an unconvincing way, when you really just want to call him some kind of name?

You don't understand how this works. You can't just say U am making a fool of myself. You have to explain why.

And you can't do that. You have given up trying to debate me because you know you can't win. So all you do now is squeal insults.

I don't think you have the capacity to see how foolish your comments are on this Forum.

You, sir, are being misleading by your political bias.

The middle class IS the American Dream. Every Democrat since 1964 has done his part to destroy the middle class.

If everyone is happy, the left has nothing to talk about. If the country runs like a well oiled machine, we don't need big government. This is why they must foment "hate and discontent".

There is no reason to discuss anything with a Leftist. They have different goals than normal, happy people.

You don't understand how this works.

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 won't argue with you, because I don't want to be confused with a foolish person.

Believe what you want, it's of no concern to me.

I have no need for building my self esteem by arguing points to win.

But I will add that you are really amusing, prancing around like the court jester of the DNC.

Have at it, the next time I have a few minutes to waste, I'll check in again. My life is pretty full.

Uh, don't you have a Law Practice to run, and clients to serve? Do you really have time for this nonsense?

I have a few seconds from my busy life to add.....

It's not a goal of mine to make anyone look foolish.

In my long life, I learned early that people need no help at that task, they take it on quite willingly themselves.

So is that what you call posting facts to prove you wrong instead of doing nothing but tossing around personal insults?

You have not made a single comment about the subject of this thread. Every single thing you have said is an insult directed at me. Seriously, go back and look at every comment you have made. You are obsessed with stalking me. You don't even attempt to comment on the subject.

You are not a victim.

You are a provocateur, desperate for attention.

You will go the same way of many others like you.

The last time I bothered to discuss anything with a Leftist was in this thread: The Great Barrington Declaration

Olejoedad posted a story about an immigrant family who were living the American dream. I commented, "I saw a story about an immigrant family that fled poverty and oppression to pursue the American dream…"

Toast’s admonition was as follows:

You don't bother reading anything. You just make up a good story that sounds good to you. His father was a electrical engineer and "rocket scientist" in a free democracy. Dr. Bhattacharya was not raised in poverty or oppressed in any way. He was raised in a wealthy family and sent to the finest schools
.

I then quoted from the article that was linked in the original post:
 
quote
Both of my parents—children of the violent partition of India and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh)—had grown up in poverty, my mother in a Calcutta slum. They immigrated to this country because they believed in the American dream. That belief led to the success my father ultimately found as an engineer and my mother found running a family daycare business.

The problem should be obvious.

This is why there is no point in trying to have an adult discussion with a Leftist.

"More specifically in Study 6, when experiencing varying levels of fear, rightists’ support for compromises remains unchanged,
but leftists’ support compromises more the more fear they experience."



Leftists make their decisions based on their their emotions which they erroneously believe to be rational, deliberative, thought and analysis.

Leftists are not normal.

Of course, that study (I found it) doesn't put a spotlight on the morons with a fetish for dressing up pablum with the outward trappings of a Rightist or Right of Center ideology.

But I have such a spotlight (so to speak.)

You misread a few of the other Forum members; there is no fear, nor is it irrational.

The extreme Left is a threat to the system of government set up in our US Constitution - they are the embodiment of the subversion the Founders feared would happen as our Republic aged.

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

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



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.

Here you go.
