Election Night Results....

[Ms Tree]

Try offering some "facts" up for a change ...? That would be a bit refreshing.

I have. Even gave you two quotes to start you out. Seems you are having a difficult time working with just the two so giving you more would just add to your confusion.

 

[EastUS1]

He meant me but he cannot even figure out the quote function. And you cannot even figure out his obvious intent. Priceless.

 
Sigh! Still wildly projecting, and atttempting to do others' thinking for them, I see? 😉
 
"And you cannot even figure out his obvious intent."...Seriously? At least rest assured that yours is patently clear for all to see.

 

[Ms Tree]

How cute indeed. Still trying to pretend you know what a logical argument is? This last from you hardly indicates anything of the sort...just sayin'...

Given that you don't know why one is either I'm not sure how your comment has any credibility.

Well if I waited for you or lala to start thinking I'll be here for ever.

If that's truly your sad estimation of how to present a logical argument, then you might as well just place fingertips in your ears, stick out your tongue and shout La La La!..I can't HEAR you! 🙂

 

[EastUS1]

.... I'll be here for ever.

 
That does seem indeed to be your obvious desire, so where's the problem? 😉
 
Seriously though: If you've any even semi-cogent argument you would like to advance...I'm all ears...?

There is a certain arrogance on the left. One that is often didplayed in the notion that the average Joe?Jane is not intelligent or willing to act in their own best interest. There are polls that support my contention, however they also acknowledge the Republicans share the same arrogant attitude.
 
Some of the posters here model this behavior quite well. I;ve always strived to maintain an open mind. I have a very clear and simple method with which I filter ideas and concepts. "Will the end result of this action/Law result in more or less Individual Liberty:?
 
If the answer is more I'm in favor. If less I'm against. A simple, yet effective filter.

Agreed, with the added personal caveat of needing to ask just how any new law will actually benefit the USA's people, versus harm them. It reasonably goes without saying that any reductions to individual Rights hardly constitute any "benefit".

Not sure what make you think you are the authority. Your clueless.

No your not. You ignore facts and reality and substitute it with your own agenda. Gave you two quotes that you still have not looked up because you know the reality won't mesh with your POV.

While always projecting your perverse, personal fantasies, and ever continuing to delusionally attempt others' thinking; did it not even occur to you that I didn't (nor could any sane person) consider "two quotes" as anything even approaching a logical argument? Try at least a class in Philosophy 101, and then get back to us all on how "two quotes" classifies as anything even remotely similar to a constructed argument. In your strange belief system; do you honestly imagine it the job of others to not only protect you, but even make your arguments for you?
 
Let's begin with the following: "You ignore facts and reality and substitute it with your own agenda." Umm...so exactly how do "two quotes" overwhelmingly manifest both "facts and reality", since I'll generously admit to some confusion there....?
 
If two, or perhaps even a single quote's now supposed to satisfy the structual needs of an argument...I'll offer one that, in my opinion, fully describes the whole "liberal" mind: "There's a sucker born every minute!" P.T. Barnum 😉
 
Seriously; does that suffice as an "argument" to you? If not, then perhaps, using your rules-of-engagement, you should look it up and construct my supposed "argument" for me?...No? Is not doing so pure proof that you're unwilling to "because you know the reality won't mesh with your POV."...?
 
P.S Hardly a major issue, but since you've pretended yourself intelligent, and arrogantly insulted another with some smarmy "home school" remark...well...It isn't properly "No your not", but should be "you're" not. i won't even dare ask about your undoubtably inestimable academic qualifications though. It goes without saying that left-leaning beliefs are the highest possible hallmarks of both utter genius and a fine education, after all.

 

[EastUS1]

"what make you think"..."Your clueless." Sigh! Ok then....Well...I'll just have to struggle on with at least the creaking platform of a basic understanding of even just the english language underfoot, I suppose.

Lots of hot air and no substance as usual.

You posted an assertion that was incorrect. The two quotes posted prove you wrong. I'm sorry that reality does not conform with your beliefs. Nothing I can do to help you with that.

I understand that you're clearly struggling with all this, but kindly refresh our collective memory there...? If proved wrong, I should at least be made aware of when and how...? Btw: That should be "proved you wrong", since we're apparently addressing a fait accompli from the past. You were fine with "posted" being properly past tense though.
 
Once again: In your strange belief system; do you honestly imagine it the job of others to not only protect you, but even make your arguments for you?

Now that the GOP has Congress I guess we will see what they have to offer.  My guess is not much.

Compared to what we seen so far...a great improvement.
