Summations Only

It's really remarkable how you get away with the fact that so many of your posts to me are vicious ad hominems, provoked by nothing. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Provoked by nothing ?We have a report of chat logs from assorted right wingers.You dismiss the report of the contents as paranoia, claim that it displays hatred, suggest that it only shows that the Right don’t want to live in a nation run by the Left and end up by suggesting that instead of reporting the facts we should find ways you could get around a non-existent tyranny. (Message 933)You do not at any point engage with the substance of the report, which you probably haven’t even read.And then, after all that you dare to suggest that asking you to support your claims is just a smokescreen and that all you are doing is presenting the Right Wing view. Message 939 Well we can see what that view is, thank you very much.

Jarrett presents no evidence. He makes numerous claims that have been shown to be not true. How about you read the book and show his arguments that are not untrue. Start with one argument he makes in his own words.Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.

Reading the previous 20 posts or so, I conclude that this topic has seen its day. PaulK, you were the topic originator and that last comment sealed its doom.Faith may have issues with presenting evidence, that is clear. Did any of you ever consider that it is hard for her to find stuff that challenges her view and/or that she is not only nearly blind but is a creature of habit? She listens to Right-Wing Media and seldom has reason to distrust it. That's another topic for another thread.Might I suggest starting a new topic, toning down your emotional responses to each other, and in particular stopping the personal attacks?I have a topic in mind, but I will let one of you start it. I recently read an article that showcases the conservative POV regarding the Left.
Fear of the Left: The Most Powerful Force in America Today by conservative talk show host Dennis Prager.Start a new topic. Your old arguments are now archived.

So Faith is unable defend her claims and arguments. Spews attacks right and left. Yet Phat continues to defend her and blames other for derailing the thread. Ignorance and stupidity is no excuse to not have to defend claims and assertions.Phat,
Just because you prefer Christians does not mean you should defend Faith and give her preferable treatment. But then again I expect nothing less. You have long history of acting like this here.

Faith’s reading problems do not excuse her from the need to provide evidence. They do not excuse her invention of falsehoods to dismiss material she has not read. Or in short her physical weaknesses do not excuse her moral failings.Faith is probably jubilant at the closure of this thread, finally a victory for Satan! By her lies she has made a small step to silencing the truth. But only a very small step.Her main goal here - as in the other political threads is to cover up the Deplorable nature of much of the Right. True, she usually succeeds only in showing her own deplorable nature. But that is not a reason to give her what she wants.

My observation was that the overall quality of this topic had denigrated to insults and name-calling.The Forum Guidelines specifically reminds us to argue the position and not the person.Need I remind you what has been said?I note that you are simply demanding accountability and facts. Noted. I still believe that this thread is out of control. I am not taking sides.I posted an editorial that explains possible reasons why.
Faith vs FactsI believe that this topic has had its run. If anyone wishes to start a new one they may do so.I believe that I allowed everyone two summation posts.

I know of some Evangelicals (Trying to figure out if I am one, by definition.. ) that support non-discrimination laws. I fully agree with them. I might point out, however, that it is Christian nationalism that is driving this counter-movement to the ACLU. I also am in favor of the US remaining a secular nation. I believe that we would fail miserably if we decided to become a Theocracy. Human nature and all that, you see.
