All Good Things...


It was perhaps a dozen years ago when I first really started frequenting various blogs on the internet on a regular basis, with most of them being of a political or religious nature.  On one site that I frequented fairly regularly, the host of the blog stated that I seemed to have a lot to say and perhaps I should get my own blog accordingly.  I am relatively certain that he was not being complimentary towards me, but nonetheless, I took up his suggestion and nine years ago today Saving Common Sense was born.

Early on I had some very supportive readers of all political stripes.  Indeed, even those followers with whom my opinions on politics did not match ended up being thoughtful folks with which to debate and share ideas.  Oh, there was always the occasional troll, but by and large I found blogging to be stimulating and interesting as I shared my opinions, thoughts, and ideas with my fellow brothers and sisters in the blogosphere.  Further, based on the feedback I would receive, it appeared that many of my readers felt similarly.

I went through some years where a busy work schedule or my late wife’s illnesses kept me from blogging very much, but I always found my way back to the key board eventually.

I have made some pretty good on-line friends over the years that I would not have met otherwise.  I am grateful that these good folks came into my life accordingly, even if some of these friends are absolute nut jobs when it comes to their politics or world views.  I am sure they chuckle as they are saying the same thing about me.  And that is okay.  With them, we can still agree to disagree and still be friends.  That is as it should be and what I had always intended.

Sadly, in the last few years, things seemed to change and the internet became a far darker and less friendly place.  With it, my tolerance for some of the over-the-top nastiness and hatred has become very thin, to say the least.  It is amazing the “courage” some people find to write the most atrocious things about others when they can do so from the anonymity of the internet.  It is those certain folks that refuse to debate or offer opinions on the issues without conflating it with their political adversaries and making it personal to which I rapidly grew weary.  It is this ugliness and hatred that ultimately made me decide it was time to move on as Saving Common Sense was no longer the forum that I had once intended it to be.

I relished the past days when brilliant, humorous, and never nasty folks such as John Myste would stop by, offer his unique and always interesting insights, and then make me laugh even when poking fun at me.  We have now unfortunately morphed into a place where ugliness grows.  No longer can we good naturedly jibe with our friends and political opposites, it seems.  Now we have to dehumanize, marginalize, and act hatefully in the worst ways towards each other.  Sadly, I have even caught myself falling into this trap on occasion.  I have seen this vileness in some take the forms of questioning another’s faith and salvation to “hoping” that a person’s disease would hurry up and take its course.  I am disgusted by this and the people that think this is okay.  I am trying be a better Christian than I really am, and will continue to pray for these folks.

All of that said, there are still some good folks that don’t share most of my views that still come by and offer their thoughts.  For the Woodenman's and TB3's and a few others out there, I am sorry.  I will miss their viewpoints and conversation.

So it is with regret and a little sadness that I must bring to a close this blog.  As of now, I will leave it up and may or may not allow further comments to be posted, but I will no longer actively be monitoring the site.  Nine years is a good run, but the time has come to move on to better and more fruitful and uplifting projects.  I’ll be sure to post here when the new site is up and running. 

Good wishes and Godspeed to you all!

"White Settlement is so appropriate for their residence." ~~ Dave Dubya

It's not a coincidence, I assure you.

Amazing how hard it is for some (most) leftists to simply stick to the facts. Trump’s ban was for people from certain mainly Muslim countries that could not be vetted that they were who they claimed. it was from most of the same nations that Obama also had on a watch list, not that facts matter to you people. Do you lefties care more about political correctness than protecting innocent Americans? Never mind. We already know the answer. I guess little Davey would say IOKIYA-flaming leftist.

As for Jefferson Davis’ Guardian, a Tesla model 3? That is a pretty expensive car. I don’t think the average person under your socialist utopia you seem to want would be able to buy one on these. Perhaps you expect to be one of the elite in the politburo and not be subjected to the same laws as the rest of us comrades? Think how many people you could help with the money saved if you bought a Ford Fiesta instead, after all, that is what you and Dave are all about, right? Helping the little guy with your benevolence? Oh, I forgot… That is government’s job, right?

Rashida is an ass and a raging anti-Semite. You leftists should be very proud! Her ignorance is only surpassed by Ocasio-Cortez. That stupid woman cannot even list the three branches of government. She should stick to cooking advice and dancing. These idiots are indictments of the failure of our education system and popular culture. After reading lots of Davey’s and Jeff Davis’ Guardian’s comments, they seem like they are probably old enough to know better though. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make up two of the hundred votes cast for McGovern.

The funny thing is that these leftist snowflakes think that they have captured the moral high ground. They insist on abortion on demand. Men pissing in public women’s restrooms. Legalized drugs for everyone. (as if their fried brains need any more drugs). Sanctuary cities for even criminal illegal aliens. And of course they call conservative greedy while wanting to tax us more to fund their socialism and entitlement plans. They have hate and disgust towards any truly biblical based morality and sexuality. These idiots insist that we stay out of their bedrooms but want us to pay for any consequences of what happens to them behind closed doors. And little Davey thinks conservatives are the hypocrites! HA!

You know, I voted for Trump and I do regret it. He has done some good things but he has also screwed too many other things up, like his trade war with China and pulling out of Syria. T. did warn me but I chose the lesser of evils. Trump’s rhetoric and truly stupid statements are simply not acceptable for a president. I want someone better than me in that office, not someone that has the demeanor of a leftist radical. It really doesn’t matter though, because even if Trump acted like a statesman and gentleman, you asshats on the left would still savage him. You are mad because he actually has done some good things to swing the country back to its conservative founding and reduced the size of your impotent gods found in the federal government.

Jeff Davis applauds idiot-girl Cortez for wanting a 70% tax rate because it “will balance the budget”. Bullshit! You leftists won’t cut any spending. On the contrary, you will only spend more as the economy goes back into recession. The only thing you all want to cut is funding for the wall as that might actually keep out future Democrat voters. Tell me, if leftists don’t want any foreign influence in our elections, why do they think it is okay for illegal aliens to come here and vote?

Little Davey says conservatism is a religion as he further trashes real religion which the founders saw as vital to the founding and continuance of America, but fails to see his own hypocrisy as he builds idols to failed socialism and green polices. Who is truly they cult member here, little Davey?

Davey throws tantrums because we deduce what the left is thinking through their stupid actions and then tells us what we think and how we are authoritarians and supporting of evil. Funny. Perhaps him and Jeff Davis have shared a few too many bong hits. Some of their idiocy might be explainable if they truly are higher than the balls on a giraffe.

Hey, JTF, don’t bother with facts regarding Venezuela or anything else with these clowns. They ignore the fact that many leftwing pundits, including the New York Times, once pointed to the “success” of Venezuela’s socialism. Of course they then whine that no facts were presented. Must be the pot haze blocking their view.

Hey Richard Cranium (that’s dick-head for you) Davey! Quit with your race card. It might surprise you to know that there are millions of us conservatives that are people of color. Is that the only play you have left? I guess when you don’t have facts, this is what you resort to, right? Yeah Trump has said some stupid racist shit, but that doesn’t make conservatives racist. I won’t vote for him again, but I sure as hell won’t vote for the 1/1024 Indian princess either in 2020. Here’s a tip, Einstein; just because someone believes in capitalism, morality, and liberty (in other words conservatism) that doesn’t make him a racist. I’ll let you and Cheech get back to your fantasies now.

Well, we now know "Rex" is the infamous "Mr. Constitution" himself!

Don't forget, Rex, it has always been the Republican presidents who "bust" the budget. Save your BS for those who don't know better.

Hey, I love the constitution. Too bad you don't seem to give a damn about it, Jeff Davis. Leave it to a leftist to mock someone for loving our constitution. Richard cranium!


By the way, the Republicans are asshats too for not cutting spending like they have always promised. The Democrats though keep creating new entitlements and schemes to increase spending such as "free" health care for all, "free" education for all, "free" abortions for all, and who knows what else. There is blame to go around, but the left certainly has NO credibility when it comes to reducing spending --- except for the wall of course.

You totally blew it, didn't you Mr. Paine? You thought your moniker was going to be "Rex", but as happened several times on Tom Degan's blog it flipped to your new default, Unknown.

You're proving to be as technically savvy as your very challenged "mini me" lapdog. ;-)

Mr. Paine, may I assume "Rex" is your real name?

Yeah, it shows!...so much so you support a political party and administration intent upon subverting it at every opportunity.

Sort of like how Donald Trump loves his marriage vows, huh? ;-)

Anonymous said...

Hey Jeff Davis, I really don't give a shit who you think I am. Frankly I think T. Paine was too damned lenient with you and your pack of mean girls. T. got tired of your crap and that of the lost generations of snowflakes leftists that whine that they don't get their fair share even though they have no idea how to work and get it.

I get why T. stopped this blog. He and I go way back but we are different people in some ways. For instance, I would have banned your lying bullying ass long ago if I were him.

Your lack of reading comprehension is showing too. I said I voted for Trump but regret it now. (See how mature people act when they are wrong.) I support him when he is right and don't when he is wrong. Lately he has been more wrong than right. It does give me a chuckle though to see you pansies get all up in arms over every little thing he does.

So, have you decided to help the poor and buy a Fiesta instead of your Tesla, comrade? That extra money would probably go a long ways to helping fellow druggies that are homeless.

Actually, Mr. Paine, it's your reading comprehension that suffers. Although there's a definite incongruity between what you've claimed in the past ("I didn't vote for Trump"), and what you wrote above ("I voted for Trump"), you'll realize I never even addressed it. I noticed your latest claim, yes, but chose not to mention it at this time.

Secret member of the KKK and most likely a white supremacist right Dave?

The body of another young black man has been found at the West Hollywood apartment of Ed Buck — a prominent Democratic donor who allegedly has a fetish for drugging sex workers — reports Wehoville.

Buck, a white man in his 60s, was investigated previously by authorities after the death of Gemmel Moore, who died of a methamphetamine overdose in Buck's home in July 2017. Since Moore's death was classified as an accidental overdose, numerous young black gay men have alleged that Buck has a fetish for shooting drugs into black men he picks up off the street or on hookup sites. Moore had written about Buck injecting him with dangerous drugs before his death.

“I’ve become addicted to drugs and the worst one at that,” Moore wrote in his journal in December 2016. “Ed Buck is the one to thank. He gave me my first injection of crystal meth.”

Community activists like Jasmyne Cannick have accused Los Angeles officials of declining to prosecute Buck in 2017 thanks to his contributions to powerful politicians such as Hillary Clinton, California Gov. Jerry Brown, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, and numerous West Hollywood City Council members. Cannick is organizing a vigil and rally for tonight in front of Buck's home, at 1234 Laurel Ave.

Less than a week after issuing a profanity-infused call to impeach President Trump on her first day in office, Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib is under fire from Republican politicians and commentators for openly posting what they call an anti-Semitic slur on Twitter.

Top Republicans in the Senate are also alleging that Democratic leaders are hoping to hide the fact that Tlaib is just one of many new Democratic politicians in Congress who harbor deeply anti-Israel views.

Anonymous said...

So I guess that means you are not going to help the poor, Jeff Davis? You can ride around in your Tesla and vote for tax increases for everyone (except for those connected on the left). After all, it is government's job to take care of everyone because they have done such a damned good job of it over the last 250 years, amiright? Stupid is as stupid does.

Hey JTF, Ocasio-Cortez, Maxine Watters, and Rashida Tlaib are all racists and/or anti-Semites. The difference is that their racism and Jew-hating are acceptable to many fools on the left. They should be very proud... and sadly they are. Even Jeff Davis champions his idiot girl Ocasio-Cortez. She throws out typical leftist utopia crap and then has no idea how to pay for it. She deflects when asked on 60 Minutes. Typical socialist...

Dave Dubya said...

Would this be the “Anti-Semitic” tweet by Rashida?

“They forgot what country they represent. This is the U.S. where boycotting is a right & part of our historical fight for freedom & equality. Maybe a refresher on our U.S. Constitution is in order, then get back to opening up our government instead of taking our rights away.”

Funny. It was in support of what a Jew tweeted.

“It’s absurd that the first bill during the shutdown is legislation which punishes Americans who exercise their constitutional right to engage in political activity. Democrats must block consideration of any bills that don’t reopen the government. Let's get our priorities right.” – Bernie

“Hey JTF, Ocasio-Cortez, Maxine Watters, and Rashida Tlaib are all racists and/or anti-Semites.”

Also funny how when liberals say Trump is a racist, they are accused of “playing the race card”.

Hey, Rex, got evidence for your accusations, or is it OK for you to play the race card?

IOKIYAR. Always.

Dave Dubya said...

Oh, my.... Looks like Rex got very agitated and angry at me.

“Little Davey”. How cute! Except for my large hands, of course.

"Jefferson Davis' Guardian"? Hookaay, that makes no sense. I really wouldn't consider him one of the "very fine people" with the tiki-torches, though.

Do you lefties care more about political correctness than protecting innocent Americans? Never mind. We already know the answer.

Ah, how refreshing to hear from an “expert” on my thinking. (Not one of my points was quoted or disproven, but he did confirm they have all the answers.)

Perhaps you expect to be one of the elite in the politburo and not be subjected to the same laws as the rest of us comrades?

Hilarious projection on behalf of Putin’s Puppet! Good one!

”Helping the little guy with your benevolence? Oh, I forgot… That is government’s job, right?”

Right you are. “Providing for the general welfare” is in the Constitution. But that fact doesn’t count, amirite? Punishing and shaming the poor while denying them healthcare is the “Right’s way”.

Along with Nazis, the Klan and other white supremacists, he hates AOC and Rashida, of course. No facts to support his accusations. Very con-servative. Would he dare to read what I wrote on Con-servatism? Nah, that would take curiosity and interest in what’s outside his cult bubble. Just hate the libs and brown people. That’s enough for his ideology.

”I wouldn’t be surprised if they make up two of the hundred votes cast for McGovern.”

They DO love their crooked Republican liars, don’t they? Why would we have voted for the crooked Republican liar? McGovern was an honorable combat veteran.

Legalized drugs? Say, wouldn’t that be called “liberty”? Or is that just hypocrisy and moral relativism? Someone needs another drink and a cigar.

“...disgust towards any truly biblical based morality and sexuality...

Does that include “do not leave alive anything that breathes”, owning slaves, and multiple wives? Yes it does.

We’d better listen to our moral superiors.

Dave Dubya said...

”Trump’s rhetoric and truly stupid statements are simply not acceptable for a president.”

Agreed! Damn those nasty libs for not wanting a crude, stupid, cruel, and dishonest man for president. They have no values or sense at all!

But has he been doing “good things to swing the country back to its conservative founding”?

I guess that would make Trump a conservative then. Although rebelling against a monarchy and empire was never considered a “conservative founding”. The conservatives of the time were Royalists. Revolution to establish a democratic representative republic by consent of the governed was, and still is, radical. This is what progressives on the left want today. Real American values.

“...why do they think it is okay for illegal aliens to come here and vote?”

Who thinks that, and who SAYS they think that? Must be the same genius who says I “trash real religion and build idols”. As Saint Ronnie said, “There you go again”.

”...real religion which the founders saw as vital to the founding and continuance of America”

Except for that darn Constitution again, demanding NO religious test for office. But these facts don’t count, amirite? Politicians, political parties, and a government deciding what constitutes “Real religion” is just what the founders DIDN”T want.

”we deduce what the left is thinking through their stupid actions”

Yeah. It’s a long list, isn’t it? Unions are stupid. Anti-pollution laws are stupid. Unemployment insurance is stupid. Public healthcare is stupid. Public education is stupid. Climate science is stupid. Voting rights are stupid. Consent of the governed is stupid. Stupid Declaration of Independence, amirite? Regulation of commerce is stupid. Taxes are stupid. Providing for the general welfare is stupid. Stupid Constitution, amirite?

Quick, look! Venezuela!! Libs want the US to be Venezuela, ‘cause cons say so!

”Quit with your race card.”

Yeah, how dare that nasty Dave suggest Trump is a racist and the Klan, Nazis, and other white supremacists all LOVE him, and hate liberals.

Shame on me.

“Trump has said some stupid racist shit, but that doesn’t make conservatives racist.” Agreed. But it makes Trump a stupid racist, doesn’t it? Or is that playing the “race card”? Many conservatives are not racists, but they voted for one. Kudos to the other morally grounded conservatives who didn’t vote for Trump.

As Rex later said, “Stupid is as stupid does.”

If Trump “has the demeanor of a leftist radical”, I would love an example for comparison. His hateful, dishonest, and angry demeanor is certainly that of a right wing radical.

”just because someone believes in capitalism, morality, and liberty (in other words conservatism) that doesn’t make him a racist.”

Who said that? Gotta love the big Straw Man. Are we to believe because Trump says stupid racist shit, that doesn’t make him a racist? I guess the same would apply to all white supremacists who say stupid racist shit.

Obviously this person did not read my “Con-servatism 101” post . He probably won’t, because he already knows what I think.

"[Alexandria Acasio-Cortez] throws out typical leftist utopia crap and then has no idea how to pay for it. She deflects when asked on 60 Minutes." ~~ Unknown (aka "Rex" and T. Paine)

Mr. Paine, I'm sure her support of a Green New Deal, which is what I assume you're referring to, isn't attainable under the current climate (pun not intended) and tax code. There will have to be massive overhauls - something akin to the New Deal and the tax rates under the Truman/Eisenhower era.

Pie in the sky? Perhaps, but the details have yet to be specified. Something needs to be done, and there needs to be visionaries to lead the way. I'm convinced the current GOP isn't going to provide that leadership.

Vision - looking forward - has never been the GOPs forte. But you already knew this.

‘It’s Just Too Much’: A Florida Town Grapples With a Shutdown After a Hurricane

Ms. Minton, a 38-year-old secretary, (who works without pay at a federal prison) said she had obtained permission from the warden to put off her Mississippi duty until early February because she is a single mother caring for disabled parents. Her fiancé plans to take vacation days to look after Ms. Minton’s 7-year-old twins once she has to go to work.

The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things.

“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” she said of Mr. Trump. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”


Trump said on Twitter “most of the workers not getting paid are Democrats,”

It really is all about who they hate.

Rex said...

Dave, regarding your question about Rashida, here is some help:

http://thefederalist.com/2018/08/20/democrats-fielding-even-anti-semitic-candidates-congress/

As for playing my playing the race card, I am glad you picked up on that, Dave. Too bad you missed the point. It is okay for you and Jeff Davis to do it but you get all but-hurt if anyone from the right does it. I already admitted that Trump is a racist punk, so what’s your point? Woodrow Wilson was horribly racist, but to many on the left he was a wonderful progressive president that did “great” things in warping our nation. Racism is evil regardless of who does it. Calling someone a racist for political points is also evil.

And yes Dave, many of you on the left don’t want a wall because it is “racist”. That is bullshit. If the Canadian government was as corrupt as Mexico’s and people were fleeing into the U.S. across the northern border and bringing drugs, human trafficking etc. with them, then we would want a wall to keep out the lily white Canadians too. Many leftists simply want to expand the welfare state and have a path to citizenship for the southern illegals so that they can expand their power base. It isn’t out of benevolence that they do this but out of cynical partisanship. They use the cry of “racism” to bludgeon anyone that dares speak about limiting the flow of ILLEGAL immigration from the south. They use PC tactics in other words.

“Providing for the general welfare” does not mean what you and the left thinks it means. The constitution as our wonderful former president Obama stated, is a charter of negative liberties, as far as the government is concerned. It is interesting how the left sees the restrictions on government as negative liberties instead of seeing that it does this to ensure positive liberties for us little people out here in America. The federal government was ONLY authorized to do those very few specific things outlined in the constitution. All other duties and responsibilities are left to the states and the people. Your general welfare clause has been perverted to mean that the feds can now do anything the left wants regardless of whether it exceeds the limitations placed on the government in the constitution. I don’t expect you to understand, let alone agree with me.

Rex said...

Yeah, I read your “conservative” article. Nice of you to tell me what I think, particularly (based on your fictional novella) you got nearly every single point wrong. Nice propaganda though. Maybe you could sell that fish wrapper to the Daily Kooks. My assumptions about what the left thinks is based on what they say and more importantly what they are doing. Some few idiots on the right fringes do stupid shit and you think that comprises the whole ideology. Must be the fear in your amygdala kicking in there, Skippy.

Also, try reading the New Testament instead of citing old Jewish law. Christ came along and became the fulfillment of the law in his teachings. Nice try though. Oh, and abusing religion in old Sam Clemmon’s quotes suggests that you think you are far more moral than those that believe and try to live by something greater than themselves… and no… I don’t mean your federal government. Might want to tell Kamala Harris and some of your Democrat reps that whole thing about the religious test being in the constitution, by the way. That idiot keeps wanting to deny seats on the bench to people just because they are Catholic.

Mexico IS paying for border security!

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican government has pledged to put guards at some 370 illegal crossing points along the country’s southern border with Guatemala.

The crossings “will be guarded and controlled to prevent the entry of undocumented people,” Interior Secretary Olga Sanchez Cordero said Monday.

Currently, migrants cross along almost the entire length of the Usumacinta and Suchiate rivers that separate the two countries.

Just the Facts! said...

Dave,
"The next day, at a rally calling for justice for Barnes, Lee said “do not be afraid to call this what it seems to be — a hate crime,” according to several news organizations.

Prior to the arrests, Barnes’ family lawyer, Lee Merritt, also said “we do believe that it [the murder] was racially motivated in part because our nation at this moment is highly racially charged.”

Yet both suspects in the case are black, police confirmed to the Associated Press on Monday."

No retraction from race baiter Lee, how about you?

Rex said...

Dave is right. It is a damned shame the Democrats insist on hurting people because they refuse to secure the border. Their hate of Trump far outweighs doing the right thing for the nation and their constituents.

Dave Dubya said...

Rex,

I appreciate you thoughtfully offering of the link. I do. It helps me see who formed your opinion.

“Tlaib’s endorsement of a “one-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and comments supporting the left-wing boycott, divestment, sanctions (BDS) movement.”

And this, according to a conservative Federalist, means she is “racist”. He decided they are all racists because he quotes a Palastinian-American’s opinion. That’s what you got? Opinion intended to fuel anger? How emotion-based can you get? Very con-servative.

This is a common tactic of the far Right. They love to accuse those who disagree with the Israeli Right and their treatment of Palestinians as being “anti-Semitic”. Never mind some of us are Jews and most of us have Jewish friends.

We get a lot of broad accusations unsupported by factual evidence. The word of a conservative is all it takes for them to take as absolute truth. Look at their Leader for God’s sake!

Never mind. What good will real examples do in face of Right wing ideologically based opinion?

And speaking of missing the point, there you go again with the IOKIAR bit.

I already admitted that Trump is a racist punk, so what’s your point?

My point was it’s ok for you to say that, but not for anti-Trumpists.

“Calling someone a racist for political points is also evil”

We get that a lot. WE”RE the evil racists for calling out Trump’s racist birtherism.

But I DO thank you for agreeing that Trump is an evil racist.

No wonder you have a deep emotional need for false equivalence and to project that unto liberals.

”...many of you on the left don’t want a wall because it is “racist”.”

Thanks for telling me what we think again. And no. Most agree it is wasteful and unnecessary to build a wall across the entire border. We have walls already, so this is really a dispute over degree. What you prefer, of course, is to accuse liberals of wanting unsecure borders so we get more voters. Thanks, Rush and FOX(R) for telling us what we think.

Do you NOT understand that is Right wing propaganda. Obviously you do not. I any conservative opinion a fact to you?

Another example:

” They use the cry of “racism” to bludgeon anyone that dares speak about limiting the flow of ILLEGAL immigration from the south.”

No evidence to support the accusation. Opinion is fact.

“Providing for the general welfare” does not mean what you and the left thinks it means.

And thanks for being our new authority on, not only what we think, but the Constitution as well. You don’t disappoint.

Since “Mr. Paine” is no longer with us, you might be termed our new “Mr. Constitution”.

Thank you for your lecture. It is mostly your opinion, and again unsupported by evidence. You didn’t even quote the Constitution, as I did.

”The federal government was ONLY authorized to do those very few specific things outlined in the constitution.”

And that is my point. Taxes, regulation of commerce and the general welfare are all included. You don’t like that so you want to unilaterally re-define terms.

You accuse liberals, without evidence again, of having “perverted” views that concur with Supreme Court ruling. I would suggest what has been perverted is the definition of free speech and corporate person-hood.

But obviously you know what I think.

”Yeah, I read your “conservative” article. Nice of you to tell me what I think,”

Do you mean this? “They believe they are defending liberty, religious freedom and capitalism, instead of repression, inequality, and corporatism.”

Your words have made my point.

”Here’s a tip, Einstein; just because someone believes in capitalism, morality, and liberty (in other words conservatism) that doesn’t make him a racist.”

Complete with the far Right Victim Card, no less.

Then I went on to cite the repression, inequality, and corporatism imposed by your corporate sponsors and their Party.

”you got nearly every single point wrong.”

And yet you couldn’t offer one bit of evidence of proof? This is what I mean....

Maybe you need help with a format?

Dave, I have to say you are wrong in stating (_____) and claiming (_______). These facts (_____) and (____) suggest you are mistaken.

What does it take with your side? It’s called communication. I suppose that is meaningless to an ideology that rejects compromise.

That idiot keeps wanting to deny seats on the bench to people just because they are Catholic.

How many are Catholics now, again? Victim card again.

But It’s OK If You’re A Republican to deny the Black President his Constitutional duty to appoint a Justice.

Very “not racist”, of course. Can’t be going there. No sireee.

It is a damned shame the Democrats insist on hurting people because they refuse to secure the border. Their hate of Trump far outweighs doing the right thing for the nation and their constituents.

And one more wild-eyed, spiteful, anger inciting, evidence-free false accusation.

This is con-servatism.

No. You do not disappoint.

Dave, you understand the entire BDS movement is meant only to destroy Israel? It is anti-Zionist, which is racist, and likely and often meant to be anti-Semitic. I would have found you a link on HuffPo or CNN but they tend not to report the truth if it is contrary to their leftist agenda. This tells me a lot about your mindset though. Dismiss any evidence out of hand if it isn't from an approved leftist source. Got it! I see what I am dealing with here.

I didn't say you cannot call Trump a racist. I said it is unfair to brand his supporters as all being racists. I know lots of people who are definitely not racists who voted for and still support him. I assume there are lots of ignorant people that support Keith Ellison who are not anti-Semites, even though he absolutely is.

"Most agree it is wasteful and unnecessary to build a wall across the entire border." ~ Dave

Bullshit. Most leftists may agree although you offered no evidence again for your false assertion. Indeed a recent gallop poll suggested that most of America was in favor of such a wall still.

” They use the cry of “racism” to bludgeon anyone that dares speak about limiting the flow of ILLEGAL immigration from the south.” ~ brilliant Rex

"No evidence to support the accusation. Opinion is fact." ~ confused Davey

Hey Brainiac, you have implied recently by your own words that we are racists wanting to keep out the "brown invaders" with our wall. I don't need to look any further than right here, although there is plenty more evidence to be found out there. I assume an apology will be forthcoming. :)

As for the constitution, I suggest you read a history book from someone other than Howard Zinn. The founders were absolutely against the "general welfare" spending that you socialists now are crying for.

Oh, and I get it. There are some Catholics already on federal benches so now it is okay for the Democrats to use religious tests to deny other actual practicing orthodox Catholics (NOT like Pelosi and Biden) to be denied promotion to federal judgeships. Got it. Hypocrisy thy name is Davey!

By the way, it probably has helped America, but it was absolutely wrong for the Senate not to have a vote on Garland for SCOTUS. Just curious, is there anything your party on the left has ever done that was wrong? (Besides maybe supporting a right of center proposal on rare occasions?)

Finally, you tell me that the border wall debate is not about denying Trump his wall due to hate on the left. It wasn't long ago when some of these very same Democrats were clamoring for a wall and better border security, including Schumer. What has changed? Trump is now president... that is all. Hate from the left. Your denials do not change the facts, Dave.

Damn. This is tiresome. I wonder how T. did this for ten years.

LOL

Rex is as predictable and opinionated as Mr. Paine. Their writing styles and verbose and exaggerated redefinition of things, such as the Constitution, for example, or what constitutes racism (or doesn't), are eerily similar.

You're right, both portray con-servatism to its most rotten core.

Why don't you ask him? Maybe he's following your commentary. LOLOL

DJT will take to the airwaves in an address to the Nation at 9:00PM ET tonight that will be carried by the networks who first insisted they would not air it but then decided to go with it after Count Schmuckula and the San Francisco Dragon Lady asked for time for a Democrat response on CNN. DJT is also planning a trip to the border this Thursday, that you can guarantee the media will turn into a sh*tshow of an event if protest show. The President has stated he was strongly considering declaring a national emergency over the issue of border security and the decades-long lack of any via active sabotage by the Democrats and their GOP confederates.

Considering that we potentially have upwards of 10% of our population residing here illegally, which is a massive drain and cancer on every aspect of our society and economy, which not coincidentally serves to bolster the Democrats and their allies who seek the overthrow and destruction of America as founded for their benefit. It's a national crisis on a par with war. In fact, all things considered, it is a war since our government, society and way of life are in mortal danger. It's just that the enemy is essentially an internal one, both the 20-30 million illegal aliens and the Democrat Party itself.

And now that the Democrat-Left controls the House, beyond all the impeachment rhetoric, we have the insane talk of abolishing the electoral college as well as trying to further destroy the Senate (as if the 17th amendment wasn't enough) being belched up all over the place from the usual gaggle of Leftist sub-morons and potential tyrants. And then I have to read about Nancy Pelosi's dentures clattering out some galling remark that Trump wants to abolish Congress.

Dave Dubya said...

Rex,

Mr. ad hominem, if you prefer.

Dave, you understand the entire BDS movement is meant only to destroy Israel?

That is your opinion, handed down to you.

The same kind of boycott movement was applied to Apartheid South Africa. As with Israel, it was intended to express disapproval of suppressive govt. policies to stimulate reform.

I said it is unfair to brand his supporters as all being racists.

Your straw man fallacy again. I have not done this. I have said by supporting a hateful racist liar, they wittingly or unwittingly supporting evil. I cite my own example of supporting corporatism by voting for Bill Clinton in ’92.

"Most agree it is wasteful and unnecessary to build a wall across the entire border." ~ Dave

Bullshit. Most leftists may agree although you offered no evidence again for your false assertion. Indeed a recent gallop poll suggested that most of America was in favor of such a wall still.

Bullshit from you, sir. Show us your poll. I dare you.

”Hey Brainiac, you have implied recently by your own words that we are racists wanting to keep out the "brown invaders" with our wall. “

Sorry. No. Trump called them invaders. His cult agrees. You are playing the victim card again.

Darrell Michaels said...

Rex, I appreciate your update. That said, if you want to continue arguing with JG and Dubya, I guess you are going to have to do so over at Dave's blog.

I should have shut down comments when I shut down the blog. I am remedying that as of now.

I see that nothing has changed with our friends on the left anyway. This only goes to further prove I was right in my decisions. My only regret is that I left the comments open for the hate to continue on my site.

JTF, best wishes to you, sir!

Rex, I will shoot you an email shortly. Cheers!
