If nothing else you can routinely be used as an example of how not to do
things.

1) any list where possibly dangerous lies are systematically promoted must
be monitored, so that the appropriate counter-information can be provided
when necessary.

***Self-professed experts are rarely listened to. Most are laughed at or
hated, take your choice. However, I use your rude and frequently illiterate
rants as an example in debate classes to show how not to act if one wants to
peruade another to your point of view.

2) Yeah, did anyone catch that story about Ma Clanton pushin for a change
in the rules so she can steal some more delegates in Florida and Michigan?

***Excellent example of creative editing or reframing. In your *opinion*
Hillary is trying to "change the rules." In the opinions of others,
particularly those from Florida and Michigan, she is trying to reinstate the
rules to what they were in the last election.

This would also be an excellent example of tunnel vision, convenient tunnel
vision. IF the folks in Florida and Michigan had voted "for" Barack, you
would be screaming that it was unfair that the folks in Florida and Michigan
were being denied a voice in the election.

And Beth is right. One does wonder if more than one person uses your
computer. Either that or you're off your meds! The whole "voice" of our
posts changes, syntax, spelling, everything. Or is it just politics that
make you sound somewhat insane?

Yep, he said it could be made subject to common sense restrictions like
background checks, but that the founders' intent was precisely to
protect the rights of individuals to own firearms. Maybe Tuesday's the
day when the Democrats will also end the gun control enthusiasts'
stranglehold over their party.

in the rules so she can steal some more delegates in Florida and Michigan?
