The fringes also like to use silly words to try and belittle people when they can't refute what is said or have nothing of value to say.

Quit with the condescending, personal attacks! These racism accusations are being taken too far. Enough is enough!

I take exception to that. CB was not accusing anyone in particular of racism. If Spade or anyone else took it personally, that is entirely their problem.

"Woa!!! The fringe left?

I think not...


The left fought tooth and nail against the Patriot act and rightly so! The fringe just hung on for the ride, but they certainly would not give up their civil liberies! They ride them like a town bike. Using them for all manners of ill advised schemes and scandals."

CDNBear, I know of no one right or left in my circle of friends who wanted the 'Patriot Act" to pass. This was rammed down our throats by Congress who thought they were protecting us in a fit of panic. The goverment no matter what political party is in power will not give it up now. Wonder how much of a chance it would have passing today?

Nonsense! You are a strange one. I have never promoted racism.
You must have a reading comprehension problem, because I never said you did. If you are able, go back and reread the entire post. I know I'm just a riech winger and all, but you missed some monumental statements and the context of the one you highlighted in particular.

I''m not surprised. I have oft asserted that people, not unlike yourself, read what they want to read. It makes no difference if that was what was actually said. That's what you think it says, so that's that!!!

:roll:

However, you try to squelch free speech on these forums!
No, I try and cancel out blatant stupidity. Everyone is free to an opinion and a voice. Besides that, I haven't the ability to silence anyone here, that ability lies solely in their hands and their argument.

The fringe also ignores context. You seem to have unwittingly supported CB's statements.
I think the correct word would have been "witlessly"...;-)

The fringes also like to use silly words to try and belittle people when they can't refute what is said or have nothing of value to say.
But cry a river when the favour is returned.

I took your statement that you saw the left selling out their rights, I haven't seen that. The left has always been able to abuse the rights and privileges afford them by people that would do the ugliest of things so others wouldn't have too. ;-)

Wonder how much of a chance it would have passing today?
Of course it would get passed. All you have to do is turn a blind eye to intel, allow an event of terrorism take place on US soil and bingo. Free reign!
