Yes , but I am a little sorry to loose BsB.

I don't feel as if I have succeeded nor handled the situation well.

Being right , isn't everything.

BSB's a big boy, with a massively arrogant ego.  The funny thing is that "in general", we all are very confident in our opinions.  And those opinions are generally supported by many things we read to reinforce, what we already believe.  It is a breath of fresh air to hear someone say they read something or heard someone, that opened up their eyes to ..... another point of view. Not that it changed their mind in any way, but presented them with something else to consider. 

"In general", right leaning folks are just as passionate and in belief of their conclusions as left leaning folks.  But unlike the right, and outside of Xo, it sure does seem that the farther left one's ideology is, not only are they more arrogant, they're also far more likely to cut you down with insults of how dumb we're supposed to be, and subsequently shut down any attempt to debate.  It's as if they've been intimidated, in some way, to their erroneously perceived vastly superior intellect.  The whole gun debate & CCW's have been a shining example of that

Xo stays, and we're grateful at the attempt he provides at representing leftest socialist rhetoric, though as we've seen time and time again, he too shuts down debate, before even trying to debate, claiming nonsense about not being able to be educated.....so I guess he sees this forum not as a debate forum, but as a rant forum, with no need or even a sense of obligation in supporting those rants

IMHO

That is a good assessment Sirs .

I agree.

Let me add this.

We have all got illusions , illusions are universal, recogniseing this helps me think of humility in its proper place in my life.

I learn stuff here, all the time. I learn how the opposite point of view works and get an inkling of where my own POV might be improved.

This was better when we had a lot of debate going on.

I agree often with the representatives of the right , so I don't need to exercise tolerance twards the right.

I miss the strong left wing we used to have , certain ones in particular who were willing to give me a serious workout I miss the most, because they disagreed with me the best.

Lets be appreaciative of Xo who is holding up his end , to answer a team of opponents must be exausting him.

There is no one left in here and there hasn't been for a long time. Sirs is an idiot. Plane is a phony. CU just posts junk. Once in a blue moon BT has something good to say. I more often than not agree with XO so I don't really learn anything from him.

The posters you could actually learn from were 1) the young lady from NYC who worked in the WTC 2) Domer when he wasn't being an asshole 3) yellow crane on occasion 4) the lady whose husband was in the Corps 5) the guy from NYC who was an Israeli soldier. That's 'bout it. The worst posters were 1) Snowblower- a born liar if there ever was one 2) Nigger - worthless 3) Universe Prince - like talking to a wall 4) Plane - head case 5) Sirs- what can you say? the biggest idiot whoever posted on the WWW 6) Some Ones Pet Dog - or whatever his name was- jesus that guy thought god anointed him 7)  others whose names escape me

See what I mean?  Great job reinforcing the point I was making B, not to mention the other examples he provided as folks we can "learn from", outside of Tee, were, IIRC, all largely left leaning.  Imagine that. 

Your efforts are duly appreciated, especially in your lack of supporting your own rhetoric, proportionally supplemented by the level of hateful demeaning insults you freely toss around, instead

I tell ya, it's getting harder and harder to respect your service & sacrifice to this country, but I'll endeavor to keep trying....at least until you've lost it completely

The right is not looking to politics for father figures , competant government would treat the common man as if he were an individual and an adult.

================================================================
I don't think YOU are looking for a father figure, but a lot of the far right is clearly looking for another Reagan, who was more of a grandfather figure, to lead them back to the happy times they had in the 1950's, when gays stayed in the closet or went to nuthouses or prison and women stayed at home baking cookies.

Romney was a sort of father figure. Ryan will never be one. Neither will Rubio. Nor will any pf them ever be elected president.
The Newtster was the crazy uncle and Santorum was the other religious nut uncle.

Neither Boehner nor McConnell is anyone anyone would choose for a father.

One of the problems is the unhealthy, poorly educated, right-wing, red staters, are not adults. They're children with no adult figureheads to look to.

It takes a serious bonehead to follow creeps like Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck. It serves to divert anger at life's unfairness, personal flaws and bad luck to a political figure. I agree that most of these dittoheads and beckerwoods are mentally immature.

"Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck."

What a frightening group. And then Republican politicians with presidential aspirations like Romney and McCain have to become like these people inorder to get past the gate. So it just goes around and around.

I suppose I could be wrong .

But Ronald Reagan was competant and inspiring, but not a father figure in any respect to the right.
I see this premise as projecting the Leftist attitude twards leadership onto the right where it does not really exist.
