New class of posters

[Manan]

No only do I look at the number of posts, but I look at when the poster joined. I see one guy that does hundreds of post a month???

Anyway, a forum is a place for an exchange of ideas.

Live by the sword and die by the sword.

I become less ecumenical with respect to the religions based on politics as time moves forward. At the same time, I see that labels such as "left/right" and "liberal/conservative" have little meaning because everyone has their own interpretation of the what the words mean. Without a standard, accepted definition, use of the labels doesn't help me much.

As I see it, either someone believes in the inherent dignity of the individual, individual liberty, freedom, and the personal responsibilities that are intrinisically linked to those concepts . . . or they don't.

Either someone recognizes that the entire point of "America" is based on those principles and embraces them . . . or they don't.

Either someone realizes that any government that goes beyond administrative duties and securing the borders will inevitably infringe upon genuine human rights . . . or they don't.

Either someone understands that the US Constitution is intended protect the rights of the individual by limiting the accumulation of power by a central government because it's absolutely necessary to do so . . . or they don't.

Either someone comprehends that adherence to the US Constitution (as it was writtern and intended, including amendments) is by definition The Standard and "middle of the road" political position . . . or they don't.

And yes, I do truly believe that anyone who does not agree that America is about individual liberty and freedom and that those sacred values are protected by the US Constitution are un-American. They have the right to be espouse those opinions and to express them as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others, but they are both un-American and absolutely wrong.

...Someone that comes to a site and post the total opposite of the sites majority is a troll. Plain and simple.

The banner across the top of my page says, "InGunOwners.com" not "INConservativeGunOwnersOfTheGOP.com."

It's posting anti-gun stuff here that makes you a troll IMHO, not posts by gun owners with liberal political leanings. If so, the owner should make a change in the name of the forum and start banning those who don't pass the politicial conservative litmus test.

THIS ^^

I'll go ahead and throw a political opinion in as well.

If you think the Republicans are better than the democrats, see the trampling of our liberties in the patriot act.

Out with the old. Vote libertarian.

You obviously haven't been here long. You will find a healthy population of GOP critics here. A great deal INGO members lean libertarian, including the Moderator staff.

Socialism seems to be the new tag word to get republicans . Just like terrorism was and communism before that.

Are you saying that libertarians don't fear Socialism as the downfall of our country?

Were the communists unsuccessful in creating conditions for the delayed downfall of our country? Or... is America finally on its knees after their years of conditioning towards Government dependence?

Its hard for me to think of those ideologies as merely boogeymen... when half the country is on the Government dole, taxes are climbing, spending is increasing, entitlements are multiplying, Congressmen literally ignore the will of their constituents and ignore the Constitution, and the National Debt is now measured in the "bajillions."

If you're looking for "plain and simple," try the mirror. How solipsistic is your life if you've never encountered another opinion? How dim are you that you can conceive only one manner of being pro-gun?

As for not owning a gun, I'll see you at the line.

Please ask your family to not buy you that "word of the day " Calendar for Christmas next year. Your strained effort to insert superfluous words into your posts is pretentious at best, and disingenuous at worst. I taught my parrot to say the words "empirical" and "anecdotal", but he lacks the ability to understand which is which.

I had to look it up (solipsistic)... but the usage is just about spot on.

Yes, and some of us actually do use big words as part of our daily vocabulary as English is a rich and varied language and deserves better than the dumbing down it is constantly receiving.

I learned that one last year - right here on INGO!

Solipsistic views of the universe...

(It's been used a few times since.)

 

[T-rav]

This site is full of different opinions and thats what makes for great discussions. I do however have some questions?

1. If your a anti-gun person why the hell would you join a gun forum other than to be a troll.

2. Why would you come on a gun site full of members that have served this great nation and full of people that love this country for what it is founded on and support SOCIALISM!

Most of us do enjoy opposing opinions, however DO NOT come on here and bash the foundation of this country.

 

[LEaSH]

I find this usage of solipsistic shallow and padantic.

You're right. It's not about GOP loving or whatever here. I don't believe I've seen anyone prop up the GOP as God anywhere on here. But, being a troll on a gun board doesn't exactly confine you to talking anti-gun. A troll is anyone who comes on to the board with the majority of their posts being "Stir the Pot" posts.

Anyone coming on to this board to praise obama cause he can make a jump shot, or saying that the healthcare bill is the greatest thing since sliced bread, or especially someone saying we should give SOCIALISM a whirl... That's a effing troll. We don't like trolls.

Just because someone does not know the meanings of the words, it does not make them up for arbitrary interpretation.


For liberal I like this one best: lacking moral restraint : licentious

LOL
