LOL. I was never an elite Soldier, I’m okay with that. But at least I’m not an obsequious boot licking toady.

They may let you carry their bags but they’ll never respect you. Such is the life of a sad groupie.

That didn’t take long...

Look, you slung shit in an attempt to needlessly antagonize a respected member on here (and a QP). It was sophomoric and not even entertaining. You created a credibility deficit before your 10th post.

I’m merely a guest - so the moderators can deal with you if they so choose. Box can handle himself.

Where’s that ignore button.

I’d like you to cool your jets sonny boy. You want to have intellectual conversation or argument....cool. You want to start hurling inflammatory and incendiary insults at long standing members here, you won’t be welcome here.

It’s quite apparent you are here to argue and not be part of the community....we’ve had many a liberal on this site to include QPs that didn’t share the majority opinion and we never had any problems, don’t start any now.

That is all!

Seriously dude, if you continue to try and stir some shit up, then you will find your Rucksack in the Hall.

I would like to make a call for unity.

In a previous post, I may have suggested that leftists have a centuries-long history of stirring up shit, projecting, resisting, obstructing, and enslaving the masses both directly and indirectly. It could be correctly assumed from that post that I am a thick skulled short sighted intolerant partisan that likes to unfairly paint all liberals with the same broad brush.


I’d like to channel my inner Joe Biden for a few moments…
C'mon man, moderators help members deal with how to treat other posters. It’s not that moderators don’t want to help, they don’t know what to play the radio, make sure the television — excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night, the — make sure that posters on this bulletin board hear words, a poster coming from a very poorly run bulletin board — a very poor liberal bulletin board will hear 4 million words fewer spoken by the time we get there.
...here’s the deal. The deal is that we’ve got this a little backwards.


We’ve got this a little backwards because occasionally people will drop in uninvited and just inject themselves into discussions without first trying to ‘read the room’ a little.
People come on here and just assume their viewpoint is the one thing that will really tie the room together - at last
People come on here and start using words.
Big words.
Words I dont really even understand or care to understand - maybe it’s because they took Bidens advice and went to bed with the record player on and heard some words.

Big blustery words full of hyperbole are harmless – they are a trolls tools of the trade. It’s fun to watch an internet troll do their work.
It's a welcome and entertaining change from the otherwise friendly banter that most of us have become accustomed to.
It’s like watching the monkeys when the circus comes to town.
Most people will even pay for a ticket to watch the show – but just like in real life, the circus doesn’t stay long. People realize that the animals stink, the clowns scare the little kids, and the staff itself is actually just a band of roving gypsies – vagabonds that don’t have the social graces to walk into a room full of strangers and make friends – and the circus moves on to the next town.
Just like internet trolls.

The deal is that we’ve got this a little backwards because People come on here and start making accusations.
Accusations that suggest an aggregation of elite soldiers need someone to carry their water.
People come on here and make even more bigger accusations...
...that an aggregation of elite soldiers would "let" someone carry their bags
...that an aggregation of elite soldiers would disrespect someone that would offer to carry their water and/or bags
...that an aggregation of elite soldiers would treat their associates like groupies


For those of you sitting in the cheap seats that are new here...
I am an unapologetic, bitter, hypocritical, stubborn, sour, biased, and blindly partisan sarcastic prick. I'd like to say that I strive to someday be as intelligent and edgy and as full of myself as the occasional left leaning academic that comes to visit this little corner of the internet - but I would be lying. I'd just as soon do a night 2-way RW jump with DB Cooper.

The problem in our society is that so many folks seems to think life is like “Good Will Hunting”
Now, that wouldn’t be so bad in a vacuum – the problem is that everyone wants to identify as Will Hunting, when the truth is, many of us are probably a lot closer to being the asshole that Will meets in the bar and we are just too shallow to realize it. The bigger truth is, we should ALL probably strive to act a lot more like Dr Maguire.

I know I said I wanted to make a call for unity - and I meant that in the most Joe Biden way possible - but first there might be a few fucking apologies in order. I was always taught that when I go into someone’s house, to take my hat off and make sure I knock the dirt off of my boots before I go in, and then treat the residents with a little bit of dignity and respect.
...but that’s why conservatives are conservatives - we are stuck in the past - hopelessly tied to 'the old ways' - clinging to our guns and religion and antipathy towards others. Otherwise we would just act like rude arrogant disrespectful interlopers that don’t even realize when they are being disrespectful to their hosts. At least I HOPE its just a case of poor self awareness otherwise that would mean that those people don’t even care that they are being disrespectful to their hosts – that would mean that they came in with a predudical gleam in their eye, full of disdain and contempt - which would just serve to validate my broad brush confirmation bias about ALL liberals, because –
well, because I told you so


aaaaand just to show the rest of you jokers that I do my best to keep from COMPLETELY derailing a thread with my meandering disjointed prose...
...seriously, fuck George Bush. Fuck his "governing class" comment - fuck his spoiled smug arrogant brother as well - and fuck the rest of those stupid assed sore loosers that wanted all the 2016 candidates to swear an oath that they would support the eventual nominee only to later prove that their word is worth shit.
fuck them in their stoo-stoo-stoopid asses.

I'm laughing so hard after reading that! I admire great writing cause my retorts to trolls usually goes along the lines of "go f**k yourself with your tiny little d**k".


And f**k the Bushes; the fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, cousins...all of 'em.

Zero substance - appears just to be mostly trying to stir the pot.

Square yourself away, read the board and get used to the long time posters - or your time here will be short.

Tony , not long at all.

Most any old stick will scrap most of it off your shoe. Such a self aggrandizing prose and an impeccable profile which tells us nothing at all. Smells a little Sheldonesque...

ROTM82,

Wouldn't it be more efficient to say you don't care for the President? Jeepers I read all those words that you wrote and found myself wondering who you think is better than our current President. I still don't know what your purpose is.

Before the ban-hammer gets dropped I can't help but wonder why those that believe all those things about President Trump...and spout all that vile, can't see the same "cult of personality" from the liberal left? I guess it's just me.

It's because we've devoted our adult lives to the liberation of the enslaved that we can see exactly what is going on. But hey, it's your opinion....have at it.

I guess we just need somebody from the other side to come along every now and then and tell us how we should all think. If the person you vote for does it for you fine just don't try telling me how wrong I am by voting for the person of my choice. This dipshit insults us all.

I'm bummed, I didn't even rate an insult. Hey Box! Could you help a fella out?
I know Tonyz has been here longer and had more to add but damn, not one response for me.

Respectfully,

Bob
