Liberals who want to turn this country into a socialist one, ARE the enemy.  NOT evil, just WRONG, and couldn't be more wrong.

And that has what to do with XO?

Strange, I could have sworn I was referring to Liberals who want to turn this country into a socialist one.  Is Xo one of those?  You'd have to ask him, I suppose

Why post what you did unless you think XO is the enemy? Even if he did want to turn this into a socialist country he wouldn't be the enemy, he would simply have a different opinion than you.

  "liberals"


   Who do we mean?

   The Democratic party seems to be buying the votes of the half of the country that do not pay any income taxes and the 20% or so who are receiveing enough government support to not work.

Because I was responding to YOUR post as to who is, not to Xo.

Are you stating that those who think differently than you should be considered enemies?

It seems to me that to sirs, anyone who does not think like sirs is "the enemy".

Are you NOT paying attention?  Or are you trying, really hard to make this about something, it isn't?  Something along the lines of "ahh, I know exactly what sirs meant, by God, that's what sirs had to have meant, and damn any of his explanations to try and weasel out of it" 

Let's try this again : Liberals who want to turn this country into a socialist one, ARE the enemy.  NOT evil, just WRONG, and couldn't be more wrong

Now, what part are you having trouble with??  Are you trying to make something out of the word "enemy", even though it was you who brought up the word??

So, IF Xo, who happens to be a hard core liberal, DOES want this country to turn into a socialist one, then YES, he is WRONG, and he'd be referred to as "the enemy"

Lets make it even clearer....LIBERALISM is the enemy here.  NOT every liberal, just those who want to turn this country into a socialist one.  Notice that has squat to do with anyone that disagrees with me.  My wife disagrees with me on many an issue.  It doesn't make her the enemy.

Are we clear, yet??  So cut the crap with the inferred disagree with sirs, you must be the enemy garbage

just so i understand.

The philosophy , in this case socialistic liberalism, is the enemy.

And those who believe in this philosophy, would be enemies.

You don't believe in socialistic liberalism, therefore you disagree with those who do.

So i guess we need to see whether XO is a socialistic liberalism proponent to determine whether you consider him the enemy.

I think I already said that, but for clarity sake, let's post it a 3rd time...Liberals who want to turn this country into a socialist one, ARE the enemy.  NOT evil, just WRONG, and couldn't be more wrong

So what you need to see, is IF Xo, who happens to be a hard core liberal, DOES want this country to turn into a socialist one, then YES, he is WRONG, and he'd be referred to as "the enemy"

And yes, Socialistic liberalism, as DEFINED by trying to turn this country into a socialist one, is "the enemy"

That doesn't seem to be what he's saying at all. He's saying anybody who wants to turn this country into a Socialist one is the enemy. That is something I would fight against vociferously as well.

You on the other hand said: "I cannot deal with right wing people, be they Black or White."

You have your own issues you have to answer for. You hate a certain segment of the population just because they disagree with you.

Obama in the last election told hispanic voters to go out and "punish your enemies." I'm sure you approved of that demagogic language as well.

How can an idea be an enemy?

Naziism was "an idea".  Fascism was an "idea".  Communism is "an idea".  Yea, they're also forms of Government, but its the idea behind that form of Government that makes it "the enemy"

Seriously, what's the problem here, Bt?  This is pretty common sensical, especially for those who covet the constitution and what made this country great.  You looking for everyone to just gather around the campfire, and sing Kum Ba Ya?  No disagreeing allowed?   Why are you having such a problem with my position??

By supporting politicians who also covet the constitution, and that which makes this country great.  By supporting legislation that frees up the citizenry to do what they do best
By defeating politicians and legislation that does the opposite
