You are really good at "speaking volumes", aren't you?

I have a perfect right to every opinion I have.

You are not much of a judge of anything. Mostly, you parrot the silliest of right wing loons within a day of said loons announcing their silly opinions. When they stop addressing any issue, you also abandon it. Not a word about the "flat tax" the "fair tax" or the oh so clever nine nine nine plan since they were forsaken by Lintball and his pals.

It is like the only that injustice that matters is what the rabid right says they are, and only for so long as they rail about it.

Not really, since I'm the one usally pointing them out in others

Oh good gravy, who the hell says you don't??  It doesn't get much lower in "substance" when the rebuttal is something along the lines of I have a perfect right to every opinion I have.  Good lord.  This little tiff Bt has been having has nothing to do with what you can or can't opine.  It has to do with WHAT you opine


You are not much of a judge of anything. Mostly, you parrot the silliest of right wing loons within a day of said loons announcing their silly opinions.

Oh the irony


When they stop addressing any issue, you also abandon it. Not a word about the "flat tax" the "fair tax" or the oh so clever nine nine nine plan since they were forsaken by Lintball and his pals.

Hey, I have no problem talking about any of it.  I'd much rather talk about those items than the idiocy of dealing with your personal slurs and insults

That made absolutely no sense.  I could even opine you don't even understand your own posts.  Sound familiar?

A hard core liberal is someone who ADVOCATES POLICIES THAT ARE EXTREMELY LIBERAL AND IDEOLOGICALLY LEFT

Define extremely liberal.

extremely - as in exceedingly, as in towards the far end, farthest from the middle
liberal - a person of liberal principles/views, especially in politics, arguably socialist in nature

 ::)

Still waiting to see just one example of a Conservative governmental policy he supposedly supports, to refute the notion of his hard core liberal credentials

Please provide an example of an extremely liberal policy that  XO advocates that complies with your definition. You made the charge, show your work.

- Government can expand adnauseum
- Tax "the rich", and keep taxing them
- Tea Party are a bunch of racists/fascists
- Republicans are a bunch of racists
- Conservatives are a bunch of racists
I could go on, and on, and on, but to what end.

Now, are you EVER going to provide even ONE example that refutes his being a hard core liberal??  That's YOUR claim, and please show your work

How do any of those statements vary from what one would read in the comments of thinkprogress, the dem underground or the comments on yahoo. They seem pretty much rant per rote.

How do they fit you definition of extreme?

BTW in case you haven't figured it out yet, your lack of making your case proves mine.

Ball in your court.

LOL......riiiiight.  I make my case clearly, as his rhetoric parrots think progress, but because you claim I don't, I supposedly didn't.  Topped off with your ongoing inability to provide even 1 example to refute the clear case made.  Yea, I think we're done here

I might have made a wrong assumption.

I thought that XOs evident disapproval of the right indicated agreement with the left.

But of course, this is not necessarily so.

If the type of rhetoric XO spouts is commonly found on sites like thinkprogress i fail to see how that can be construed as anything but boilerplate progressive rhetoric. Where is the extremity in that.

I believe you have failed in your efforts to label XO extreme as well as hard core.

And since you have failed in that endevour i understand your desire to moveon.

I have never said that I think that government could expand, only become better at regulating what needs to be regulated and enforcing consumer protection.

I am all for progress.

I get really tired of all this "speaks voliumes" and "oh the irony" CRAP.

Who needs that?

No one.

Do we repell Liberals so well that we don't have even one anymore?

This isn't good.

I think he leans more left than i do. But , and this is key, i don't think he is hard core or extreme.
