    Thanks for the kind words.

    As I agreed with LaL the other day, I'll try to remain "chilled" but I just hate to see anyone (right-left-middle) use tactics that go to the man (or woman), or misstate the man's position, or even worse -- slander his motives or thoughts.

    I would ask you a favor (you owe nothing, I know); write a few words someday about the fact that those railing against this new fascism must not use the tactics of the other side. We must beat them with facts, and clear objective arguments --- much as Glenn does. It has been the case at times here that even that gasbag Limbaugh could point here and say, "see, everyone does it." We need to attempt (yes, at least try) to avoid the propaganda tactics used so well by Atwater/Rove.

    We must also remember to label opinion as just that, and not present subjective opinion as "factual truth".

    As to "keep typing"; that day is fast approaching when I'll not have the time, but I have lurked since almost the beginning of Glenn's other site. I am sure I'll be able to point out a few things every once in a while, just not often.

    By the way, anyone who supports the use of the force and power of the central government for whatever pet project is supporting them all. As the first president claimed, government (like fire) makes for a wonderful servant and a fearsome master. Less is more.

  • Kitt is a liar --- not just disingenuous

    What a pathetic cop-out. You said what you said, and it was assinine, pure and simple. Trying to nuance it and put out this shit about me not reading it right just makes you look even more disingenuous. You aren't dealing with imbeciles, Bucky. We won't be buying any old crapolo you try to pass off as shineola.

    No, I am not and was not "simply wrong". I pointed out what a disingenuous poster you are, and you went on to confirm it with that post.

    You are a liar; we knew that already, so what else in new.

    I claimed the silence here was "as if" everyone was waiting on a sign from Glenn. I claimed that if that were true then it is sad. I still claim that!

    Who are you willing to support *today* ?????

    No one here is willing to put forth a candidate --- why?

  • Kitt can not read --- also afraid

    Anonymous posted your exact quote that I was referring to. It was precisely what I said it was. You are one thick headed mofo to think that anyone can't see that.

    You are a simpleton, moron, liar, kidder, or some combination thereof.

    Let me write real slow, so that even you might understand.

    1) I have asked time after time for the cabal to state even one man or women that they want as president.

    2) No one here is willing to step up and do that.

    3) All I see is slander towards my preferred candidate. (Ron Paul)

    4) I said that it looks as if everyone here is afraid to make an endorsement until Glenn does.

    5) Still no endorsements. (I might have missed one, who sees every comment?)

    6) You will not comment. Nor will LWM as himself or the every silly anonymous. All of you look to be afraid to pick someone other than leader. I can support two Democrats and one Republican --- no one here can support even one man/woman? Get real.

    You are simply engaged in attacks, and the cabal is good at it. People like you will keep the GOP afloat no matter how bad they get. Why? Because you are every bit the same as they.
