^ That lame post there is my case in point: NeoCons derail threads by making flimsy comments and by not debating the facts that the thread is linked to
So if you realize that it's futile to debate with NeoCons, why do you continue to do it? You expect to get flamed and have the topic derailed, so what's the point? Every thread you create ends the same way.
Your persistence doesn't make any sense. A competent person would sense that there was no point in trying to convince someone who did not wish to listen. After coming to this realization, would it not make sense to stop trying? Aren't there better ways than this to spend your time? For all of the impact you have, you're better off standing on a street corner and spewing your views to random passers-by. At least they aren't aware of your agenda.
I have a right to post threads that I and others might or will find interesting don't I? You should not assume that my threads are solely intended for NeoCons becoz they are not! I continue to post threads with links that sine members here from similar and differing political backgrounds will enjoy studying to expand their knowledge. I find it interesting how I get scrutinized for the content of some of my threads yet the NeoCon thread starters do not get the same threats, insults, and so on that I get. I'm sure many here have noticed that NeoCons won't debate the facts and will resort to personal attacks.
If this doesn't make sense to you, then don't waste your time trying to convince me to censor myself to appease generic Conservatives here. I don't force you or anyone else for that matter to click on threads I start. NeoCons intentionally raid my threads not to debate but to regurgitate NeoCon cockamamie nonsense based on lies and hurl insults, threats and crapaganda when they debate the facts presented. And if you are going to click on my thread, at least read or watch the source I have cited first before proceeding to post and discuss the topic that is being investigated. Most NeoCons dive head first into my threads without analyzing the material presented just to bash me instead of discussing or debating the actual content of the link I've shared.
It's funny how you project your dysfunctional family life and upbringing to me which helps make my case here :hatsoff:
What's most ironic is that conservatives say the exact same thing about liberals and trying to debate them.
The problem I have is that we keep hearing about how compassionate and caring and loving and all-inclusive the left is. But I've found listening to their words to reveal some of the most bitter, hateful, hurtful, exclusionary folks I've ever encountered?
Don't believe me? Give a listen to the ultra compassionate, loving Janine Garafolo some time. In one breath, call Bush a Nazi, and in the next breath, say that all conservatives should be rounded up and put in camps.... odd.
Let's not pretend that conservatives (neo-con or not) are the ONLY hypocrites, liars, or people who don't practice what they preach, mmmmmkay?
But Hellraiser, my favorite part of your post there is that you try to dissuade supadupafly from getting along with Neocons. Fucking brilliant. We should just never get along because we have different viewpoints? No wonder this country can only get 2 things done- jack and shit. And Jack's stuck in committee....

Get it straight, NeoCons aren't worthy of being known as Conservatives even though this is what they pretend to be. I have diplomatic talks with genuine conservatives although we don't always agree. Sometimes genuine Conservatives and I find ourselves agreeing on some things and respect each other's right to free speech whether we agree or disagree with each other . It's NeoCons here who hate my threads becoz they can't handle the truth that is presented in the links so they resort to bullying and intimidation tactics by derailing my threads to launch personal attacks. I always cite factual sources from the left, center and right and yet these NeoCons are angered with the content of the threads I post. If you don't like the Left for whatever petty reasons, start your own threads about them.
I'm on freeones quite often, and I haven't heard about how compassionate, loving and all-inclusive the left is as you claim. Are you sure about this? Maybe you're just dreaming it. Although this thread is about Dr. Ron Paul's examination of NeoCons and not about Jeanine Garafalo she rocks anyway! I'm not dissuading supdadupafly to not get along with neocons, I'm actually encouraging him to go ahead and waste his time being nice to NeoCons if that's what he likes to do.
Just as generic Conservatives here are entitled to post their NeoCon crapaganda, I will exercise my right to post content by credible scholars and journalists who are genuinely consistent with their political philosophies, content that examines and identifies NeoCons and their hypocrisy, insconsistencies and tomfoolery.
You're mistaken, I get along fine with people who are passionate and genuinely consistent with their idealogy, philosophy, and religion. Whether they be Libertarian, Green, Democratic, Indpendent, Republican, Atheist, Theist, Anarchist, or whatever they're known as, I get along well with them and enjoy learning from them whether or not I agree with them. I'm not going to get along with people who intentionally spread lies and misinformation and get mad at me when I fact check them instead of appreciating the facts I bring forth to correct them. What I can't stand are self-righteous holier than thou moral NeoCon hypocrites who don't practice what they preach and seek to censor my free speech and the fact filled content I share with others who like to learn from the links I provide.
