Razorbucks: this is what you said:
"You don't like being labeled a liberal, so you insult people who see partisan lines; however, if opportunity arises you will play the sex, race, and class card, correct? SICK!
IMO, you have to be blind not to see politicians opportunistically toe partisan lines, either that, or passed out."
1. Would you think it fair, if a number of us labelled you as a communist, seeing you oppose our efforts to maintain personal liberties under The Constitution? We would have a cogent argument for doing so. Is that what you want? So why would you label someone with something that you would loathe to be labelled as, especially when your labelling is bogus?
2. We agree that opportunistic politicians play and toe party lines. Do you want it to continue that way? We are trying to change that.
3. We do not want polarization. We all lose when that happens. In 1917, Russia fell to 2% of the population, because of the divide and conquer polarizations. Most of us can disagree ion a civil manner and learn from each other in a public debate forum, such as these message boards allows. Surely you can appreciate this wonderful American freedom called free speech.
However, for some posters, anyone disagreeing with their ideology is cause for all sorts of diatribes. I am a warrior. If someone wants to play the tossing-of-lit-matches game, then I simply pull out my flame thrower. I hold virtually all the cards, BECAUSE I HAVE INVESTED IN STUDYING A WIDE VARIETY OF SOURCES FOR YEARS. So would you begrudge me for playing a card, when you dared me to do so?
4. Why don't you take a deep breathe and say, "Okay, let's wipe the slate clean and debate this, as you guys seem to love America and what it stands for and I love my freedoms."
"When in doubt, empty the clip."
