If you are trying to ridicule the truth, that's okay, it's part of the process.
Not at all, I'm poking fun at the process.

Funny, I'm still waiting to see the "truth". I see a lot of opinion, and predictable interpretation of the facts though.

"You can't handle the truth."


Love that !

"Predictable interpretation of the facts" is pretty good too !

"You can't handle the truth."
What an excellent end run around actually proving your case.

Love that !
I bet you do.

"Predictable interpretation of the facts" is pretty good too !
Well what else is it?

You presented an opinion. Yes, that opinion contains some facts, but in order for us all to believe the same thing you do, we have to believe all the connect the dots games, interpretations and assumptions, involved. Not all of us are that easily swayed.

And we come full circle to the beginning of this conversation.

When you find the smoking gun, feel free to post a pic.

I thought I did.
No YOU didn't. You posted somebody's interpretation of facts.

Are you saying you believe that opinion piece, without verifying any of the facts or assumptions, or interpretations contained within?


That's not a smoking gun, it's a smoking canon.
Sure, if I ignore the better part of critical thought and deductive reasoning.

But please, don't let my opinion of that piece shut you down. Show me up, prove your case. Take it apart and show the connections for us.

You know, most people are not intelligent enough to connect the dots -that takes a great deal of time and practice.

I agree with everything posted in that link above, so if there is something you do not agree with, you have to be specific.

I already posted a long piece that you called interesting (was that you) so I thought we agree.

I don't see any point of contention, yet.

Then by all means, break it down for us less then intellectually stellar folk.


You are more than adequate, but don't ask me to do the impossible.

I have already indicated that I believe in everything in that link, so if there is some detail that you specifically disagree with, we can discuss it -in detail.

I'll make this easy for you, since you seem unable to differentiate between fact and opinion...

When I saw some of the antiwar people and the rest, I'd simply hold up the "V" or the one thumb up; this really knocks them for a loop because they think this is their sign. Some of them break into a smile. Others, of course, just become more hateful. I think as the war recedes as an issue, some of these people are going to be lost souls. They basically are haters , they are frustrated, they are alienated-they don't know what to do with their lives.
I think perhaps the saddest group will be those who are the professors, and particularly the young professors and the associate professors on the college campuses and even in the high schools. They wanted to blame somebody else for their own failures to inspire the students.
I can think of those Ivy League presidents who came to see me after Kent State, and who were saying, please don't leave the problem to us -I mean let the government do something. None of them would take any of the responsibility themselves.[SIZE=-1]19[/SIZE]
This is an excerpt for your article, of which the author opines, that this is an example of Nixon's hatred.

Where it is my OPINION, it's an excellent example of him being right, and honest. While expressing no hatred at all.

I already posted a long piece that you called interesting (was that you) so I thought we agree.
I said it was interesting, that doesn't mean I agreed with it's premise,
I don't see any point of contention, yet.
And I doubt you ever will.

You are more than adequate, but don't ask me to do the impossible.
I'm glad you recognized two undeniable truths there.

I have already indicated that I believe in everything in that link, so if there is some detail that you specifically disagree with, we can discuss it -in detail.
Why? At this point I have ascertained that you prefer opinion to fact, and have difficulty linear thought.

I already have one of you to play with. He's more of a Rothschild junkie though.

You sound like a Nixon apologist if it is your opinion that there is anything right or honest about this person.

It is therefore my opinion that you are too prejudicial to understand the truth about Richard Nixon.



In my opinion, the facts prove that Richard Nixon is an ignorant tyrant, and there are enough of those to fill an entire encyclopaedia.

There are only two kinds of people in the world.

Those who obey the law and those who think that they are above it.



Which one of the two was Richard Nixon?

-and the truth is that simple !

Commonsense: Did the dems put you up to this ridiculous thread? So far all you have proved with your mental masturbation is that CDNBear can pull your chain without thinking about it.

If I had the time I could use your logic to prove that the Trail of Tears was good for my ancestors despite the facts.

You are quite lucky that Bear is using barb-less hooks on you. Mind you that still leaves the line marks when you bite, he snaps the rod and lands you, only to be tossed back for reasons of Lacking.

The Democrats put me up to this?

How can anybody possibly think of something like that?


Is it notmal to be THAT suspicious?


I thought you were all people who didn't jump to conclusions, but I was obviously wrong.

You can't be serious. By 1980, few people cared what John Lennon was doing.


In 1980, the Lennon Song, "Starting Over" was a huge hit, and the suggestion that few people cared about a mega star like John Lennon does not make very much common sense.

We see enough conspiracy theories here - That is what is normal -

A conspiracy is not necessarily a theory. Sometimes, it is a fact.

As a matter of fact, conspiracy probably touches all of our lives because the one thing people do better than anything else is "cover their own asses".

And by the time everybody finishes covering his or her own ass, you need a magnifying glass to find the truth.
