seen it a couple of times sadly, I think this kid is reading the wrong sites, not understanding theyr;e lying and now thinks of himself as a conservative but has no idea about politics.
He’ll always be in denial

This is just another example:

I sit here before a computer screen. On this screen are pixels of different hues and intensities.

Some are black against white, and represent written or spoken words, attributed to someone I’ve never met, and who might have who-knows-what motive for writing them.

Some of the colored pixel are organized to represent a visual scene, but I have no way of verifying that either, nor do I know the motives of the people who are responsible. Sometimes my computer’s speakers make a human-like sound that is supposed to reinforce the reality of the pixels.

The words and images are about people and a place and events that I have no way of verifying, and further pixels arguing to the validity of the words and images is likewise of questionable validity and motive.

The assumption is that I should care about all this, that these pixels should motivate me to support or not support some proposed action that will affect my life, affect those I actually know and care about, or my freedom, or my purchasing power, or my lifestyle, or my patriotic pride or sense of morality.

But time and again these assumption have not turned out to be accurate. It turns out I do not know the motives of those who create these conglomeration of pixels, nor the validity of what they are trying to say, nor the true impact it will have on my reality.

Indeed, experience over the past sixty years has taught me not to trust one bit of it.

In this example, I am supposed to spend mental energy, and probably money/taxes, and probably to give up freedoms, to stop someone I don’t know or care about, in a land I don’t know or care about, from doing something supposedly horrible that I can’t verify to people I don’t know or care about and can’t verify. I can’t verify a single bit of it, and in fact I suspect the whole mess and the motives of the people who brought the story to me with their collection of pixels.

What I do know is that I spent most of the morning working in the garden, and that I will now go pray and meditate for an hour, and then go have surgery on my hand this afternoon, and then come home and take it easy until my wife returns from work this evening. That’s real. My friends and neighbors are real. My dog and chickens are real. The view from my porch is real.

The pixels? Do they represent reality? Who knows, and who cares.

My guess is that the do have evidence that chemical weapons were used...by the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood. In that case, it’s okay because Assad is the designated bad guy.

[[I’m more likely to read American Conservative Magazine]]

[[Liberals are stupid and the biggest hypocrites on the planet]]

Ever hear hteo ld sayuing “Me thinks the lady doth protest too much’? Your words are contradicting your claims- The more you deny beign a liberal, them ore you sound liek one- Your posts are full of hypocrisies which is typical of the left- and hte fact that you feel compelled to keep statign how ‘conservative’ you are- the more liberal you sound-

Go play in soem other forum- we’ve run across trolls liek you many many times before-

What sites do I read ??

I read DRUDGE, FREEREPUBLIC, HOTAIR and a few other “right wing” sites.

That’s it!

I also listen to right wing talk radio. I disagree with some stuff, agree with a lot of other stuff.

LOL here we go again.

I am not in any way shape or form “left-wing”.

I consider myself right wing and a Taft Republican (he was picked by JFK as one of the 5 best ever senators).

If you think im left-wing you must5 think Taft is and he was called ‘Mr Republican’ in the 1950’s.

Go look him up.

then I suggest you read your own posts again and then you might understand how nuts you sound.

You still keep saying how Clinton voted for the war and yet you ignore so did the right and the only ones opposing were Nader, Paul and that loon crew.

You should do yourself a favor and take a break and come back when you can get some decent facts and then understand what you’re talking about.

Not an attack on you but you are seriously in denial, even about Taft who did not want the NAZIs at Nuremburg and did massive welfare programs

You views are within the Paul bots and you are no conservative let alone republican

he was picked by JFK, you are aware JFK was a Dem right?

The more you protest the more your views come out and the more you keep contradicting your own views and points

I remember people moving the goalposts repeatedly on what constitutes proof of WMD.
So when the Sarin IED shell showed up, they went into overdrive trying to excuse it, ignore it, or claim Sarin is not a WMD.
So here we are years later with teh left -the same guys who claimed Sarin was not a WMD years ack- and they want to now claim that it is.
It is apparently too much to ask for consistency.

As for the kid, who knows.
I wouldn’t put it past old poster “JohnGalt” to try and come back to play his old games.

I want to shut down most of the Federal government.

Left-wingers dont want that. They want bigger government and I want it constitutionally limited.

You’re throwing labels at me and attacking me because I disagree - like Taft and many other Republicans - with the concept of pre-emptive war.

You’re wrong to do so and it’s extremely disconcerting.

[[The pixels? Do they represent reality? Who knows, and who cares.]]

The peopel who were beign burned alive, thrown off buildings, put htrough giant shredders ALIVE, dunked in acid, doused with gas o ntheir faces, and set on fire, they all cared- right before Saddam had them murdered-

[[But time and again these assumption have not turned out to be accurate.]]

I guess then the witnesses and victims who testified to cognress were all lying-

[[My friends and neighbors are real. My dog and chickens are real. The view from my porch is real.]]

so were the peopel hangign from meat hooks in warehosues of torture in Iraq- who had their skin ripped rom them while they were alive, who had their genitals hacked off, who had their eyes gouged out

So were the peopel who died of mustard gas i nthe village that saddam ordered wiped out with WMD’s

yea moving the goal posts is a good way of putting it, now WMD’s are pressure cookers to the left and yet Sarin was not.

The left just change the rules for what they need the rules to be when it suits them, this is what is happening here

Even if they had WMD and were on the verge of having Nukes I wouldnt support invading them.

Robert Taft never supported entry into WW2 until Pearl Harbor in 1941.

That’s when a response is justified; Iraq never attacked the US.
