I love it when you attack the medium..and not the message. Always the first sign you can't rebutt.Originally posted by mraynrandShort witty blurb. I certainly wasn't talking about a poem. Though platitude or 'redundant statement' or 'meaningless tripe' would have been better.Originally posted by Tyrone BiggunsI don't think you really know what an epigram is.Originally posted by mraynrandWhat a lovely epigram.Originally posted by Tyrone Bigguns
1. We are all humans..so, we aren't better than anyone. Our actions are what determine if we ACT better than others. .

Now you're starting to piss me off. Don't start in on me being elitist, class conscious, etc. You don't know anything about me or where I came from or where I am now.Originally posted by texaspackerbackerI actually appreciate your insight in drawing the distinction between my "blue collar minions", who I see as the large majority of good normal apolitical America-loving Americans, and the Republicans you know, which I guess, would include Howard, Aynrand, etc., who indeed, are class conscious, elitist, and worthy of SOME--a small part--of the disdain your kind spew about them.
Just because I try to understand concepts deeper than a Hannity smirk don't start in on your Obamaesque rhetoric from the Right (such as it is).After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

Wrong. I do have a core set of values. Lucky for me, mine are better than yours.Originally posted by mraynrandPerfect. As Reagan would say: "There you go again." When forced to put your cards on the table, you JUST CAN'T DO IT. Because you don't have a true center, a true honest set of core beliefs that make sense - that aren't immediately self-contradiictory or quickly disproven like Sullivan saying the U.S. is no better than anyone else.Originally posted by Tyrone BiggunsWhy don't you tell me.Originally posted by mraynrandWhat value system? How do you determine what is valuable?Originally posted by Tyrone BiggunsA value system.Originally posted by mraynrandWhat determines which act is better than another?Originally posted by Tyrone Bigguns

One of them is that you are an idiot.
The other is to laugh at those who think they know some sort of universal truth.

I'd be interested in your expanding on this. Does this go back to your reference of putting me in the Bill Buckley 'Country Club' Republican class. Is that how I come across? I'd love to know.Originally posted by texaspackerbackerHoward, Aynrand, etc., who indeed, are class conscious, elitist, and worthy of SOME--a small part--of the disdain your kind spew about them."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand.

Yes, I did read your post, Howard, and I say again, I did NOT refer to Christianity as the National Religion or anything like that.Originally posted by HowardRoarkYes. But once again, I disagree with your methods. You will fight for Christianity and declare it the true religion of our country.....what did Jesus say on the cross; "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."Originally posted by texaspackerbackerI mean, if calling atheists extremist idiots, and expressing disgust at the widespread disrespect for Christianity, free enterprise, and just about everything else American, then this country has been dragged a long way down by the shitheads of the left. Would you agree with that?
Did you not read my paragraph on how the Left has taken over all levers of communication and turned our yout into zombies?
I don't think you read my post. What happens if in 50 years Muslims are the majority in our country and they want to declare Islam to be the “true” religion of our country? I say to you that there is one God and he transcends everything.
I referred to it as "the TRUE religion; I referred to it as our heritage and the clear majority religion of this country; And I referred to the wrongness of disrespecting it--giving a Constitutional pass to all of the false piece of crap religions that come along--which I grudgingly go along with, because, after all, it IS the Constitutional way, while effectively, bending over backwards to deny the same pass to Christians.
The only way the Muslims ever become a majority is if your kind lay down and let Tyrone's sick kind have their way, and my kind never get organized and bold enough to upset the whole applecart--a la Seven Days in May--which will never become necessary if we reign in the assholes of the left in a valid Constitutional way--elections. And I have faith that the American people--primarily MY KIND will continue to do that on election day.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

What else should I say about actions determining whether someone acts better than another? I followed up my aesthetic critique, with a series of questions which you seem reluctant to answer.Originally posted by Tyrone BiggunsI love it when you attack the medium..and not the message.

Damn it Tex!!! Are you drinking Shiner Bocks down there, or just starting to talk like Bill Clinton? Of course you meant this to be the National religion.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker--the TRUE religion--which also happens to be our national heritage--if not our National Religion.After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky.

Yes...but, not quite as glib (in the best sense of the word).Originally posted by mraynrandI'd be interested in your expanding on this.

You have admitted to reading Hitchens. Game over.
