[Hamilton Samuels]

I lean left socially, but fiscally conservative

I've used similar wording on my profiles, (centrist for conservative) but have added, "but given the current political times and demands is wholly impractical"

And I too wondered about toad construction.

But I'm really interested in  "Mental Beth". I'm pretty sure I dated her. How's she doing?

I left out that...

I believe in larger keyboards for phones!

[Hairy Lime]

Banks is trying to corner the market on irony by replicating Ham's old conspiracy theories, but instead of the Boston gang, he's invented the  Elba "woke" folk.


You think this to be an improper term?

Woke has become a meaningless term. In banks terms, woke just means "disagrees with me".

It's not meaningless at all.

You provided Ham's and Banks' definition of it.

It has real meaning elsewhere.

Woke, to me, means opinions not woke are greeted with pedantic lecturing by self-important nanny goats.

Right. People who disagree with you. Got it.

[Holly Martins]

I lean left socially, but fiscally conservative. I believe in a strong military, but using it with extreme caution, I prefer diplomacy to military intervention. I think you have a right to abortion, and the death penalty should always be an option. I don't believe sexual predation is curable. I believe in funding education and health care by reducing military spending. If you're gay, trans, cis-gender, etc, I don't give a shit, nor do I need to know that you are. If you work, I respect you, if you just want other people to fund your lifestyle, I'm out. I prefer deeds to words...

Thoughtful post.   I appreciate anyone taking the time to spell it out on where they have nuances.

Left but fiscal conservative is becoming pretty common.   Possibly due to a general distrust of how fed gummint handles money.  A distrust I have.  And the idea,  which has some merit,  that good nurture social programs like early education, nutrition,  healthcare, etc all tend to be the ounce of prevention.  That is,  you really save a lot of fix up money if you prevent broken people, and thus can be fiscally conservative. 

Mental Beth is a hottie,  but hide the cutlery if you have her over.   Spoonable foods only.

So, yes, Josh you're woke.

The poster child of the woke cultists here.

/laughs/

I am pedantic and inclined to lecture.

So are you.

So is Ward, when he posts his own substance at all.

Banks tries to lecture, but just rants.

We have a bunch of other pedantic folks here - I am in good company.

I am far less woke than I ought to be, but I am working on it. Whether class, race, gender, orientation, or religion, I have some prejudices that I have not finished coming to grips with. (Nor are those the extent of growth areas.)

I am fascinated by those who claim they are done growing in any one of those areas. They are almost certainly right that they are done, but it is not because there is no more room for growth, rather an unwillingness to do so.

I cop to my foibles, Ham. I don't claim to have none.

[josh]

I agree that that was a very well spelled out post. I will try to reply in kind after class this afternoon.

[Holly Martins]

I think woke is used now to mean priggish,  to diminish and dismiss any critique as self-righteous kneejerkery. 

So really just another ad hommie.  And a false appropriation of a legitimate adjective.

As I was saying.   And you know its an ad hom when its combined with trash talk like nanny goat cultist holier than thou blah blah blah.   It is just empty.   Consider putting feces in the toilet instead of flinging it.

"Critical race theory is NOT being taught in our schools!"


Is that so?

PA Candidate for Senate, talking about women.

Doesnt matter - OZ is getting that nod.

[FlyingVProd]

Vice President Kamala Harris is in France, which is good, we need to have strong ties with France, and France can help with Afghanistan, etc. We also have the French Foreign Legion.

The French Foreign Legion would be perfect for some people from the caravans which are coming to the USA from Latin America, it would be a good idea to put a recruiting office for the French Foreign Legion on our Southern Border.

And we need to send union representatives to our Southern Border. Some of the people from the caravan can join the French Foreign Legion, some people can pick strawberries in Merced, California, and some people can drive trucks, etc.

We are also going to be building high speed trains, and new bridges, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

[facilitatorn]

I believe anyone who denies that January 6 was spontaneous and not an insurrection is complicit and a traitor to the principles represented by that flag.

You have reread and stand by this, Hammy? Are you sure?

[LarryBnDC]

Larry what you do is play the race card over and over again in our disagreements over the years.

Racism was not and is not a factor in my disagreeing with you.

I thought you were wrong and I told you why.

Was racism a factor when we agreed on the other 90% of issues, or was I clear-eyed and rational?

Perhaps you should examine your own prejudices before blaming others for them.

or don't.

beyond that, best of luck

Over the years you have said racist shit again and again and I called you on it and you say I am playing the race card.

Saying playing the race card over and over is racist as fuck.

That you will not acknowledge what I tell you and in fact tell me I need psychiatric help is racist as fuck.

What Larry is really saying is...

You will have to pry that race card out of his cold, dead hand!


Special Victims Unit has now been dispatched.

Fuck you.

No one does victimhood better than straight white men.

Ask Sen. (fascist fist pump) Hawley.

That's racist, Larry!

Yeah?

Use your Google machine...

heh

[LarryBnDC]

Btw, Larry, we are still waiting in that list of ACCOMPLISHMENTS from your Squad friends.


Having trouble finding someone to research it for you?

Hammy is so slow he is growing moss.

Turtles whoosh right by him.

Hamy needs to tell me what to do in order to enhance his self esteem.

Your self esteem would grow, if you'd back up your assertions occasionally.

How are those ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the Squids coming?

You know, things they've actually gotten done in Congress.

Still waiting, genius.

Hold your breath.

I said what I said. If you want corroboration let your fingers do the walking.

[LarryBnDC]

It seems I've hurt Josh's and his strawman's feelings.

LMAO

No Josh I'm hardly perfect.

But I feel perfectly entitled to ask how my debates with Larry are racist.

And when the only answer from Larry is "because" really doesn't satisfy the issue.

Further if my alleged "racist" manner was evident the overly engaged Elba Council of Woke would be all over it.

But not a peep.

Because the evidence was not there.

I don't deal with a lot of white guilt.

As I don't feel guilty, as I did not commit the crime charged.

But I sense you do feel guilt.

Perhaps you should deal with it.

Have a pleasant day.

I told you what I took as racist days ago but you will not acknowledge my perspective gained from years of lived experience.

[LarryBnDC]

Shame what the asshole media did to this kid

https://www.foxnews.com/us/kyle-rittenhouse-trial-defense-gaige-grosskreutz-testimony

Did the media arm him, send him out into the streets, and then buy him a beer?

Uh ..nope!

The young man is responsible for the actions he took.

Indeed - he is

He could be dead instead.

Not if he had stayed his ass home or left his weapon home.

He went looking for trouble and he found it.

Kind of like George Zimmerman.

heh

Seems apt. It is the modern Republican party, why not a literal snake oil salesman?
