And how does it feel to be exposed as a bigoted hypocrite again?

You can call me names all you want. At the end of the day, I'll never be what you are.

Exactly, VinylBoy is intelligent.

Yup, VB is articulate and is willing to consider more than just the official "group think" talking points. Ericsson1228d has shown himself to simply be shrill and petty. :smile:

I love you guys. :biggrin:

possibly

but resorting to name-calling and ad hominem attacks would tend to indicate otherwise

as well as indicating a lack of maturity

After all the names people like me have been called by sectarian socialites such as yourself, using cleverly worded, indirect moral & social attacks disguised as political insight, if the only thing you can do to weigh a person's maturity is by whether or not they use a dirty word then you're pathetic. Grow a set of balls.

This isn't Romper Room. Your elementary school teacher or your nanny isn't going to jump to your rescue if you're called a name you don't like. Your actions prompt the responses, and I have no time to play nice or even try to form stunning sentence structure full of literary aristocracy if you're going to insult my intelligence by ignoring it all, while writing it off as being "lib mentality".

Check yourself before you judge another on such a stupid matter. I may talk gutter at times, but I certainly make a hell of a lot more sense than you.

So, it occurred to me that this post demonstrates one of Umberto Eco's 14 aspects of Ur Fascism.

How could Obama be at the same time so powerful and influential that he can influence who gets the Olypmics and....everything else, but at the same time be so unpopular that he fails at whatever he does? How could he be so intelligent, so "professorial" and at the same time need a teleprompter to make a speech?

8. The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies.
When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers of Ur-Fascism must also be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.
