Same coin, different side.

Limousine conservatives? Sure lots of conservatives are rich. As are lots of liberals. But you'll also find the vast majority of the working/ middle class are conservative. My parents worked on an alligator farm in Florida. I come from no wealth whatsoever. I didn't have my parents tuck me in at night and tell me stories of crime-free, poverty-free, racism-free utopia.

And I'll say this. Conservatives don't jam inclusiveness and political correctness down anyone's throats. Being conservative is about earning your fair share and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Ergo, "limousine conservatives" wouldn't be hypocrites. They don't preach tolerance and minimalism.

Usually at a nice restaurant,

I revert to my original premise. You're so intent on blaming others you fail to look at yourself.
Oh yea? So you see the world as black and white? All liberals think "x" and all conservatives think "y"?

I don't respect or support the far right or the far left, tea baggers or anarchists.

Yea... you're into rational conversation.


"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."


Do you see "as I interpret it" anywhere?
So then how to interpret the constitution is universally accepted? Or do you take it to mean to defend the actual constitution with an armed guard and lock and key?

Leftists are not all there. Their opinions are detached from reality, including the reality in their neighborhoods.

You just described the other side of the same coin.

No I didn't. And you didn't address any of my points. All you did was the kindergarten "nuh uh!"

Let it be known folks. Arguing with a liberal is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon walks all over the board, knocks pieces over, sh*ts all over the board, and then struts around like it won.

You are the one obsessing over a term (black and white) that YOU injected in this conversation. You haven't addressed any of the points except with diversions, as you read from a list of canned responses.

Thanks for confirming what I said, again. You don't even bother to hear what you're saying. "Tea Baggers" a "one size fits all" term perpetuated by the extreme left and forwarded by the likes of you. You exclaim the world isn't black and white, that liberals shouldn't be stereotyped, and then proceed to stereotype millions of people, and in a derogatory way no less.

YOU are what you hate, and are completely blind to it.

Like I said, you don't do rational very well.

At least the pigeon doesn't pretend to be anything but a pigeon. Maybe our liberal friends could learn something from them.




You know how you can tell when someone is losing an argument?

You don't see them because you don't want to look. Roca Inc. has a 27 year old history of helping the poor in Chelsea and is actually headquartered there.

"Obsessing"? LOL.... Pretty sad you when you to resort to hyperbole....

"Black and white".... referring to dealing in absolutes.... I thought it was a pretty common term used.

Address what? How liberals don't meet the stereotypes their opposition has bestowed upon them using a bunch of absolutes? Which was my point...

I guess you missed the part where I said "far left" or maybe you choose to ignore it and put words in my mouth.... Or maybe "anarchists" is a harder word to mock...

I didn't say liberals shouldn't be stereotyped.... Again you putting words in my mouth....

No I said I don't respect folks at the far end of the spectrum: far right and far left....

You're the one putting words in my mouth about stuff I said. I'm sorry your argument is weak.

So then you're conceding you don't know what you are talking in regards to the Constitution...
