Sorry newbie, but someone needs to point it out to you that Justice Scalia happens to be right all the damn time, and Justice Thomas knows it! Just thought you'd like to know.
LOL!
I don't recall my first post....
But my second one was "Mea Culpa".
Unfortunately I didn't have that luxury until recently. In the past the only way to hide your stupidity was to pray that the whole thread got pulled.
Today
Since we are throwing around insulting, rhetorical questions like that....did the Air Force expel you for being a homosexual?
So you are admitting that everything you know about Thomas is what you read in a Molly Ivans column? And by reading Molly Ivans' inane drivel I could "learn something?" I used to read her easily refutable nonsense when our local paper ran her years ago. The only column she wrote that made any sense was after the Waco massacre. She roundly condemned the government's actions and defended the victims. After a couple of months she wrote another column retracting her condemnation of the government and said, essentially, that the victims had it coming. She apparently saw that the liberals loved Reno's Gestapo and the conservatives were horrified by the massacre. Since she is an intellectual coward, she made sure she stayed on the "Left" of the issue. Her columns are full of half-truths and otherwise easily refutable bilge. She belongs on the funny pages.
I actually like Ellen Goodman. I rarely agree with her, but she is a good writer and, a rarity among liberal columnists, she actually THINKS before she writes. She has well-reasoned views and has always remained civil, another rarity for liberal columnists.
George Will is brilliant. Every time I read his column I learn something and get a fresh angle on the issue.
It takes practice to tolerate somebody's opinion, even if you don't necessarily agree with them.
You'll get a lot of practice around here.
The risk is that you might learn something.
Only if you have an open mind. Otherwise you just get angry.
LOL ! I have done that. It didn't. It is still lurking around somewhere with my ill-conceived and poorly-constructed "argument" documenting my astonishing ignorance on the issue.
With good reason. Everything about you smells "troll". You began your adventure here by asserting that Thomas "lied his butt off about Anita Hill". You provided no evidence to back it up, although you seemed pretty sure of it. Later you explained that while you thought Brock had lied before, you think he's probably telling the truth this time. Freepers will respect any opinion if it's well-founded, but there's little patience for barf-bag "evidence" like that.
As you may have noticed, I don't believe in toeing the party line, just for the sake of toeing the party line.
Yeah, you're such an independent thinker. You read Molly Ivins, LOL. Only problem is, you DO toe a party line. When you say absolutely FALSE things like "Thomas never deviates from Justice Scalia's opinion", you're only repeating Democrat propaganda.
I said from the beginning that I'm not a fan of Thomas.
An opinion you made even though you knew almost nothing about Thomas, as was later shown.
You've moved me from that position, somewhat, but I still need to be convinced. But it's late here on the east coast, so I'll be leaving now. I appreciate your references though.
Make good use of them.
But my second one was "Mea Culpa".
Been there. Done that. (^: Speaking of humility...Justice Thomas is a good man. It's a sure bet that the harder the left fights against anyone, the more decent and law abiding the person. They don't trust anyone who hasn't also sold his honor for a fleeting moment of power and fame.
And another red flag is that USAF vet never returned to the FR to post another comment after appearing on this thread on the SAME day that he registed last week. It sure looks like USAF Vet was either a troll or a seminar poster on orders to try to disrupt the FR.
Folks, be sure to call your cable company and demand they carry Fox News Channel if they don't carry it and if your cable company opts not to carry Fox News Channel, than dump your cable and get a dish.
