"aghast" was the right word, then.
I rarely shocked or surprised by the stupid things liberals say any
more. I need only think of the most idiotic stance I can think of and wait
a few days and some liberal will be taking it.

Certainly. And since it is progressives doing the censoring you can`t
expect it to be done evenhandedly, fairly or to make much sense.
This guy gives it to them pretty good...

What I said. You`re whole shtick is ad hominem, misdirection, handwaving
away inconvenient information, ect. If somebody says something about
Kennedy you don`t like, just call them a "Kennedy hater" and flit away. If
someone says something racially that goes against your tender progressive
sensibilities just call them a racist. If somebody puts forth a
conservative idea just label them a Nazi. You have no chance in an honest
exchange of ideas so this is all you can offer, grade school name
calling.

Of course you are. The extreme left wing wants to drown out civilized
discourse with buzzwords like "Nazi" and "racist". They play these cards
as if they are wild cards that automatically make their ideas the winner.
That way they don`t have to go through the tedious ordeal of actually
defending their ideas.

Lets apply that wisdom to African-Americans. If African-Americans don`t
like it pointed out that they commit a disproportionate amount of crime
all they need to do is stop committing a disproportionate amount of crime.
Problem solved.
Print that out for your liberal friends, let them be aghast some more.

Really? Those thugs in the inner cities racking up those death tolls are
Republicans?

There are between 15,000 and 20,000 murders in the US a year. I`d love
to see the political breakdown of those murderers. Are people in favor of

I`m fine. I like it when thinking people express ideas, especially ones
that go against the ideas the mainstream media is spoon feeding the
public.
The guy is a liberal but he is disturbed by the way liberalism has
become a religion, with accepted doctrine that can`t be spoken out
against. Liberalism is rife with bad and indefensible ideas, so they
attempt to shut down dialog.

Right, that is why they riot and burn when conservative speakers try to
speak at universities. The truth is as I explained it, liberals hate the
free expression of thought. They want to control everything that is said
and everything that is thought.

Yes, they are. Like the kidnapping and torturing of autistic children.
Yet the liberal judge in the one case that came to trial in that case
didn`t feel it was so bad...
"On December 8, 2017, Brittany Covington plead guilty to the charges of
committing a hate crime, intimidation and aggravated battery. Additional
charges, such as kidnapping, were dropped as part of her plea deal.
Covington was sentenced to four years of probation and 200 hours of
community service. Cook County Circuit Judge William Hooks said that he
could have sentenced her to prison, but did not because
“I’m not sure if I did that you’d be coming out
any better.”
"better", how does that apply? Is the fear that if she does jail time
the next time she kidnaps and tortures someone she might put their eyes
out or kill them?
So this liberal judge decides no jail time for fear of making this
heinous criminal a worse person. One might argue, if they were sane, that
she was already a bad person, and that the judge`s job was to mete out
punishment for the evil this criminal did. And if someone took this insane
liberal thinking further they might argue that the rightwinger who ran
down leftists with his car might also become a bad person if given jail
time. In fact, why have any prisons at all, sending people who commit
crimes to prison runs the risk of making them worse, or at least not
improving them.

<snicker> You are the one printing things out from this forum and making
your liberal friends aware of them. Liberals always like to preach to the
converted. Reminds one of the famous line from Pauline Kael, who couldn`t
understand Nixon`s landslide victory (just like they are clueless about
Trump`s victory)...
“I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who
voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re
outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel
them.”
Liberals are out of touch with reality in all things. And this one saw
conservatism as some kind of ominous presence.

Play dumb, pretend that part of the liberal agenda is not limiting free
