Some of us are actually old enough to have deconstructed our fair share of morally ignorant libertarians Rob and more to the point lived long enough to have experienced the repercussions of lack of balance between the needs of the one and the many.

It’s pretty easy to argue someone that simply says “live and let live” I suppose, but that’s why people don’t debate children to prove they’re superior.

They seek out intelligent people of the other position to challenge their ideas and see where their logic is faulty.

You seem to shy away from this. I don’t blame you. It’s hard to claim the moral high ground when you support policies that needlessly jail innocent people. The drug was has caused the rise of the gangs, which have killed tens of thousands of innocent people in California and the SW alone. The prohibitions on teenage sex have led not only to higher abortion rates, but police dedicated to tracking down teens and early twenties and making them sex offenders. Taking time to jail prostitutes and johns drains precious resources to go after dangerous crime. Etc.

But whatever, claim that the facts, the history, the logic, and the grasp of human nature is on your side. Whatever let’s you feel superior.

Rob: I hope you know that when you use personal attack and smear instead of facts and logic, you are using the tactics of Saul Alinsky: Personalize it, freeze it and isolate it.
You always make it personal, instead of it being about facts, logic and causal reasoning.

Hey All, (including Dino)
Be careful what you say here, (Especially Dino) remember the Government is watching these sites for homegrown Terrorist! The following quote sounds like one to me!!

No, seriously, I HATE this country and think it should disappear. No more united states. It’s the cause of most of the world’s problems. It’s like a cancer.

Just split it up and let it lose its power. Done. Finished.

I think bush did that for us, though.

Lots of people feel like I do. I just admit it.

People Eating Tasty Animals.

That may very well be the absolute funniest thing ever written in the history of letters and words.

How did you come up with it?!????!?!?!

Todd, if you think it’s ok to be homosexual, then why did you imply that I’m a homosexual as if it were an insult?

I never implied you were a homosexual. I said you were a so-called heterosexual blogger. How is that implying that you’re a homosexual?

I mean, hypothetically, if I were to write that my neighbor’s dog Benjy was a “so-called companion animal,” does that mean I’m implying that it’s NOT a companion animal? And–if that neighbor calls Benjy a companion animal (he claims it’s his seeing-eye dog), does that mean I’m implying he’s a liar by referring to Benjy as a “so-called companion animal”?

You said that I’m allegedly heterosexual, as if I should be ashamed if I were homosexual or something.

Please look up “allege” in the dictionary. I have no idea if you’re straight or gay, and, quite frankly, don’t care. You’ve alleged that you’re a heterosexual, so that’s what I’ll go by.

One has to wonder, will this sort of unilateral action on the part of an inexperienced and reckless President serve as a recruiting tool and ultimately lead to more and more flylence?

Hey, Davey, from Peta’s official blog:

Thank you for that information. I was wrong. If I had the ability, I’d edit my previous post, so as to not misinform the readers of this blog.

Boy, that was easy.

In an unrelated story, like an entire day has gone by since you’ve learned that you misquoted the President in one of your posts, and you have refused to acknowledge the error or correct it. Bravua.

Isn’t your side the ones that still believes in Dan Rather?

I forget, which one was the yellow teletubby?

I’ll bet that he didn’t even read the fly his Miranda rights.

was the fly in Afghanistan?

NO RIGHTS FOR YOU!

Another great post shot to hell

When I’m king I’m going to have a big honking leather lazyboy for me to give interviews from.

The reporter can stand for all I care.

“The brave little failure”

sounds like a good title for a grim fairy tale.

Referring to your actual feelings about tobacco prohibition is not a personal attack.

You lie again, Rob: You lie about what I do, and have done. My feelings, as well as yours, are irrelevant to the issue here, which is the balance between the rights of smokers and non-smokers. You seek to relieve smokers of all responsibility for the damage they do, and support giving the absolute supremacy over the vast majority of Americans who choose to be non-smokers. You also ignore the damage they do by making straw man arguments about “freedom” and “liberty”, instead of dealing with the actual consequences for all of us from smoking.
Again, you use Alinsky-style tactics, rather than dealing with the issue in any sensible, rational way.
Again, I support the right of Americans to defend themselves from those who would damage them, either intentionally or through thoughtlessness.
You keep lying about that, instead using the strawman of “big govt”, when 80% of Americans choose to be non-smokers.
Furthermore, that big govt you like to use as a straw man heavily subsidizes tobacco, and you never go after that, instead preferring to attack people who would like to have the freedom to be non-smokers.
Shame on you!

I actually did both like an hour ago.

And I doubt, despite your sarcastic and feigned concern, that anyone was misled by my transposing “disoriented” and “disorientated.”

And I don’t let you edit your comments because you’re a dishonest little twit who would no doubt love to go back and change the record.

How long till the leftards start claiming the bug was after Obama as part of a plot by conservatives?

Robert, crawl down off your cross. You and I disagree about the government’s roll in property rights and individual liberty.

Your inability to accept that your actual political positions mean that you are not actually a proponent of limited government is not my fault.

I hope you know that when you use personal attack and smear instead of facts and logic, you are using the tactics of Saul Alinsky: Personalize it, freeze it and isolate it.
You always make it personal, instead of it being about facts, logic and causal reasoning.

Name-calling. Great. Do you have any reasons to think I hate gay people? Can you elaborate on them?

Robert108: Thank you very much. It’s unfortunate to watch Rob stoop to these levels.

He was talking about my comments about his anti-tobacco feelings, not your anti-gay bigotry Todd.

So tell me, why is it bad to be gay again?

Hey, Davey, from Peta’s official blog:

Well, I guess it can’t be said that President Obama wouldn’t hurt a fly. The commander in chief was recently pestered by a fly during an interview. He swatted at the insect and killed the little guy instantly.

Believe it or not, we’ve actually been contacted by multiple media outlets wanting to know PETA’s official response to the executive insect execution.

In a nutshell, our position is this: He isn’t the Buddha, he’s a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act.

Yes, PETA really is as crazy as you are.
