At least Geeblock is forthright and honest that he is a leftist. Ptown still tries to say he is a moderate.

This whole thread is insufferable lol 

Yep; and  if it wasn't for radical leftists we'd be at peace.

Personally, I'm getting a lot of entertainment from it. A handful of people having a never-ending, circular argument where they all make the same points over and over again while each is convinced they are righter than right has a right to be? All I'm saying is that if "I WON AN INTERNET ARGUMENT!!!!!!" was an Olympic sport, we'd have some gold medal contenders right here!

Bonus points for said argument being about approximately the 7109385th most important issue of our current time.

Oh c’mon you’re smarter than that.

Nope, I said Trump was an asshole from the beginning, I have also actually voted for a couple D presidents (Obama first time, Bill C, etc). 

Just because the left has gone WAY left and now the center people look far/alt right to them, doesn't mean I look like MTG. 

I would have voted for a few of the Ds over Trump this last time (Gabbard, Yang, Castro, Ryan, Gillibrand, etc) but the Ds put up a dementia patient. Heck, if it was Biden of 20 years ago I probably would have voted for him over Trump. But it wasn't. 

I can't help it you just outed yourself as someone who doesn't use logic on this CRT topic and won't admit when you are wrong. Just because you outed yourself doesn't mean the rest of us are alt righters.

Hope that helps.

Lol, hey, at least I'll give credit that this bit of manufactured outrage is somewhat more pertinent than "my M&Ms aren't manly enough!!!!" or "that remastered Pink Floyd album has light going through a prism to make a GODDAMN RAINBOW!!!!!!" and most of the other stuff that fits into the "I don't 'zactly know what I'm outraged about, but TV/Interwebs Daddy said it's the WOKE AGENDA so my panties are in a bunch!" histrionics that's all the rage nowadays.

Epic run-on sentence.

So you're telling me the lunatic who was on the grass was gay?

Matter of fact I will be 100% transparent.

I have said many times I am a libertarian.

Being a libertarian I want the federal government to be really small,  only have the functions actually prescribed in the Constitution.

Since that will never go backwards, I vote for the federal government to basically stalemate because both sides tend to grow it when they are in power. Of both POTUS and Congress just in different areas.

So, I AWAYS vote opposite parties for POTUS and Congress and I ALWAYS vote opposite party of POTUS for Congress during midterms.

So, when I vote R for POTUS, I vote down party lines D for Congress and vice versa.

Gridlock in DC is the best solution to slow down the growth of the Federal government.

So yeah, that’s real close to MTG….

Libertarians want govt passing more laws about books and school classes instead of letting local districts make their own policies?

Where did I say anything about the book thing in FL? I honestly don’t even know enough about the situation to comment on it let alone have said anything on this forum about it.

You confused again?

To me, the funniest thing about seeing dumbasses on social media bitching about "woke" Pink Floyd was how they seemed to think this design was a brand new thing made solely to be woke. Good job at being completely ignorant about the band until you decided it was faux-outrage time, guys!

Moderate Ptown: Words spoken directly from somebody on video do not mean anything.

Also Moderate Ptown: Guise Trump totally called dead American war veterans "losers."  We must believe the anonymous sources, because the journalist, who reported it is credible (because I like him).

Right, because those are the totally same thing.

Right, cause if I do not adhere to the conservative and libertarian line of thinking, I am a liberal. 

Does not even enter your mind that there is a different concept of thinking. Only on here am I considered a liberal. Really funny.

Libertarians want governments passing laws about the curriculum of local school districts?  Or ANY more laws? A libertarian would want the government to stay out of local school districts and oppose unnecessary new laws unless a dire need was proven

I also said school classes (curriculum ) , you pretended to ignore that and focus on the word books as if that changes the point about what a libertarian would want.

Prisms, how do they work?

Woke Xbox is another one I saw floating around on Twitter Hell. It's so ridiculous I won't even comment further.

I understand your philosophy, I just think it does not make sense in governing in today's world. 

Government needs to function for society. In order for it to function, you need to have policies and laws in place from both sides of the aisle.

You take part of ideas from the conservative side and liberal to address a problem. Infrastructure, drug policy, and in the past, social security reform and healthcare. 

Also, if you are just voting opposing party regardless of candidate, that is very shortsighted as you may be eliminating actually good candidates and lawmakers. 

Calling for gridlock does nothing but continue the outrage cycle.

What are you considered in your group of apparently super left wing friends?

The Republican lol

I'm the one that supported Larry Hogan twice and supported Republican candidates in liberal Montgomery County MD and in Frederick County MD. 

Here in Ohio, I've voted a mixed bag, both D and R based on the candidate.

The fact that you don’t see the hypocrisy rather proves your bias.
