Yes, I am calling you out. I have a question, and I want to ask you this question in order to clear up something that has been bothering me about you; this is in regards to something you said a year ago.

My first questions is do you care about the United States of America? Meaning do you care about this country, this land, and its people, and its laws, and its many doctrines, and its many policies? Do you care at all about any of these things?

Also contained in this question regarding its people. Do you care, and understand that everyone who lives here, and is a lawful citizen has rights as put forth by the constitution and the bill of rights?

What DO you BELIEVE AuRaptor?

Yes.

Yes.

As for "what I believe", I've already stated my core beliefs in another thread. I'll post again here, so you don't have to go on a snipe hunt....

We all have the same basic rights.

My rights allow me to do what ever I want, so long as my actions don't infringe or hinder anyone else's rights through force of fraud. The same applies to each and every one of us, so far as your 'rights' don't hinder anyone elses. ( So, drugs and 'companioning' ought to be legal )

We belong to ourselves. No country, no political party, no religion, no company owns us. We might say we have no choice to stay w/ the crappy job, but we're kidding ourselves. There are 2 things we have no choice in, being born, and dying. All we do in between is basically up to us.

While the Cosmos is infinitly old, we are here only a finite amount of time. Jimmy Buffett puts it best, I think....

" And still twenty four hours
maybe sixty good years
It's really not that long a stay"

Mankind is new to this planet, and it's a very old planet. Older than most can comprehend.

Lots of life on this little rock, over its time. Lots.

There is, of course, much much more, but that should suffice enough to get the ball rolling.

Then can we call you out on each and every time you suggest or demand otherwise ?
Cause it seems to happen an awful lot.

I'm down with that particular belief, I just haven't never really seen you practice what you're preachin there, in all honesty.

Of course, nobody's perfect, but if you believe this why are you so bad at holding to it ?

And you might note that I happen to be asking that in as civil a tone as I am capable of.

huh. Calling Out AuRaptor - provides a disappointingly brief exchange, nonexistent evasion or avoidance, diversion or tangent-chasing, how fun is that? Compared to the calling out of the comical opposite camp, this is downright unentertaining.
Kinda refreshing, but still not as engaging. And that liberal-who-claims-to-be-conservative could have served as such a foil.

Hello,

I am somewhat dismayed.

AuRaptor has been summoned to this thread, titled after him, ostensibly to enter into honest discussion or debate. Then he is left unanswered.

People who speak favorably of him are insulted with this sock puppet thing, which is presumably to indicate that they are either directly or indirectly controlled automatons. (Direct automation being difficult to prove, and indirect meaning they are just independent souls who have the audacity to agree with your opponent.)

AuRaptor would seem to have responded in good faith only to be insulted without supporting evidence.

AuRaptor opponents may claim their silence on the facts is based on the preponderance of supporting evidence that need not be repeated here... but then why the creation of an entire thread to discuss it? This is just bad form- forwards, backwards, and sideways.

Warrantless wiretapping. Why snoop in on citizens who're doing nothing wrong?

JSF has one and only response to any thread here:
AURaptor is so great, he's always right, about everything, you're all wrong, he's beaten you down yet again, blah blah blah.

You don't get many more obvious sock puppets than that.

Hmmm, wasn't I flamed by a bunch of people recently for showing where he was prepared to murder children for the motherfucking clothes their parent's put them in? Yes, yes I was, I remember it distinctly. Post more evidence where he's being an obvious authoritarian follower? What's the point, its been done so many times it's laughable anyone would need it reiterated. Shit, you quote him saying "towelheads" and you have to spend half a thread justifying how that's a racist comment (and being called racist yourself for daring to point it out).

Most people here know what Frem is talking about. We also know that wasting time dragging up examples is exactly that, because those that have seen this shit from him time and again already accept it, and he and his sock puppets aren't interested in reality, and will deny racism is racism, child murder is child murder or nonsense is nonsense as long its him spouting it.

This thread is entirely redundant though. We know cRapo is a full of shit troll, and the only people who don't accept that, wouldn't no matter what. At any rate the only person responsible for starting this thread, is the person who started it, but really cRapo has no right to complain about attack threads, since he loves starting them so much. DobsonAllianceFan up there loves participating in them when they're aimed at anyone 'he' disagrees with, but is woefully incapable of arguing against (much like his factless master).

Bollocks.

You want proof that Rush Limbaughs parrot is an Authoritarian follower, watch him in any thread. The global warming one's a good example.

He'll probably just lie and say he never said or supported anything like that, just like he claims he wasn't lock step in line with everything that popped out of the Bush Administration.

Sorry, but you're way off on all those 'examples'. I was referring to INDIVIDUALS, not nations. It's well documented why we went to war w/ Iraq. There are multiple actions by Saddam and or the state which absolutely called for some sort of action. He clearly was guilty of hindering the freedoms of others through force and or fraud. Let's not go down the road of abuses the Gov't has inflicted on individuals, even its own citizens, all in "legal" manner.

Israel's disproportionate response ? You have to be kidding! They didn't carpet bomb Gaza, did they ? Oh, that's right.... they LEFT Gaza and allowed the Pals to live in peace, to which the Pals responded by launching 1000's of rockets into Israeli towns and cities.

Warrantless wire tapping. I'm not convinced any of this actually happened. Try turning the question around.... why WOULD the Gov't waste its time w/ folks who aren't terrorist ? Doesn't make much sense, now does it ? Conversely, you have the State of New York, which has been auditing Rush Limbaugh, a private citizen, for 11 years now, trying to squeeze $$ out of him when he's not even been a resident of New York ( He left back in '97 ) Here, we do have a clear case of the Gov't over stepping the line, and in all likely hood, for purely spiteful, political reasons. Not the proper function of Government, to be sure.

Police Brutality. I agree. Cops should not be judge, jury all in one. I don't see that we differ here.

I'm not 'anti-regulation', but I'm for sensible, pragmatic regulation. Focus on the purpose for WHY there is regulation ,and don't do it to promote a political agenda.

He just can't help proving me right. Though it's a sure sign of mental illness that he talks about himself in the third person.

Notice how the attack thread starter whose troll threads end up in troll country tries to call others trolls. Also notice, how he attempts to slur others with the accusation of lying, when he is the only proven liar. Also notice that the only people that lend any credence to his mad lies are him and his lying sock puppet.

Notice how he proves me right with his mad desperation and attempts to prove me wrong!

I mean that you can always fall back on whether you're convinced or not. I could do that too:
I'm not convinced that we actually landed on the Moon.
I'm not convinced that Hitler had Jews killed in ovens.
I'm not convinced that Saddam invaded Kuwait.

"But there's evidence!"

I never talked to any astronaut, Jew, or dude from Kuwait that could corroborate those "stories."

The point I'm making is that the claims by the Left that Bush did all the terrible things they claim he did ( which, if TRUE, I'd at the very least consider them to be wrong ) ... are incredible. As in, such claims lack credible evidence.

I wasn't there to see if man went to the moon, but I have seen a shuttle launch. One event does not directly lead to proof that the other occurred, but I do at least have 1st hand account that leads me to concluded that the Apollo missions were plausible. But what I've not seen is evidence which would lead me to believe that , under Bush, or the Patriot act, there was wide spread spying ( warrantless wiretaps ) of the entire US population. Hell, J Edgar Hoover spied on who ever the hell he wanted to, and this was 40-50 years ago! Long before there was a Patriot Act! So saying Bush was doing it , as opposed to any other President, seemed silly. Sure, he could have, so could have Clinton, Bush41, Reagan, Carter...... so what ? Where's the PROOF that W did any such thing ???

Never said no one else did it, or that it wasn't wrong when they did, just pointing out the abuse of the present (now former) President & administration.

Why would a U.S. judge rule them illegal if they weren't?

Why obstruct if it wasn't nefarious?

Why have a law that covers what you already did if you can't prove it was unnecessary?
