"Nothing can ever get accomplished in the name of preserving this country when there are Alinsky trained disruptors who slaughter every conversation on important topic with insults and rudeness"
You got the wrong guy.

This is a growing phenomenon that falls into the category of posters being unable to discuss or debate the issues. First of all, as one of my past taglines states "Politics ain't beanbag" (Finley Peter Dunne) and that means that if somebody wants Robert's Rules of Order, or the Marquis of Queensbury rules applied as if this were some high falutin' debating society, they're in the wrong forum. Most of the time, I find it easy to discuss whatever topics come up with whoever wants to discuss them, and it's all done in a friendly and cordial manner.

THEN, there are those few posters who grab hold of an issue and believe THEIR issue is the most important one out there, that THEIR issue should have priority over any other issue (example: insane fixations over former Soviet leaders), and if you don't agree with them, if you just bluntly tell them what a dumb ass they are, they automatically default to that whole "oh! oh! you're an Alinsky apostle! oh! oh!" and all they're doing is lamely trying to evade a simple truth, i.e., they ARE a dumb ass! lol

Too many posters embrace that limp comeback, invoking the name and tactics of a Communist (Alinsky) when it doesn't even apply. They find themselves unable to defend their position, so they take the easy way out, call whoever disagrees with them "un-American" or a follower of "Alinsky", while deluding themselves with the fantasy that they are SO superior because of whatever issue it is they are championing.

As I mentioned earlier, there are lots of conspiracies in this world, all kinds of nefarious plots, some we'll discover, some we'll never know about, but I know this: the collapse of Soviet Communism as practiced in Russia was NO conspiracy, it was the inevitable result of ONE U.S. President, Ronald Reagan, who had the vision, the guts, and the perseverance to see the Cold War through to it's end, and America WON that conflict, the Soviet regime fell to pieces just like a poorly manufactured ZIL automobile.

But to summarize? When someone is losing an argument, and cannot back up their claims, they will invariably start throwing tantrums accusing their opponents of being 'disruptors', 'alinskyites', etc., and all that proves is that they shouldn't have opened their pieholes in the first place, lol

Oh, so Gorbachev doesn’t have a home on the Presidio? He doesn’t run Green Cross International? What facts were not presented?

I find it amusing that you claim you like a ‘friendly’ discussion. You never discussed anything. You just started posting insults. You were never friendly or cordial.

Now you have to call in a ‘friend’ so you can continue your tirade, but fail to address me, which I have been told is a violation of the forum etiquette.

Inviting communists into your country at taxpayer expense is like inviting a pedophile to babysit your children. Harm will be done as has been illustrated over and over again on this forum.

Ending the cold war turned out to be a very bad thing for the American people. It has helped the free traitors make their communist buddies very wealthy though, I have to admit.
