No, the discussion is about this:

Let's just say I don't believe you. Of course, creating a false signature line using my name doesn't exactly bolster your credibility.

The words YOU wrote about the NRA can be found in your Post # 675140 posted on 5/23/26- unedited


Why would you attempt to destroy another topic with your trolling rants?

Why do you imagine that anyone cares what you believe?

But, in the interests of fairness, let's make this interesting.

Your position is that I'm making things up. My position is that I can prove, with receipts and photos, that I have purchased dozens of guns in the last 18 months. S0meone semi-local can even stop by and count the number of guns I have on hand.

We'll bet enough to make things interesting: $1,000.

I don't think you're man enough to stand behind your words, but if you are, I'm happy to take your money.

Man up.

"keith" has tried to turn it into all sorts of other things with his grade school bullying, and others have tried to help.

The salient point is Gene and Stan or Ted and I or a ton of other members here can disagree on something and not revert to school yard name calling and bullying tactics. Because that is Keith’s currency. A full on, leave no prisoners bullying verbal assault of anyone who disagrees with him.

Dave’s site is poorer for allowing it.
This........

Adults do not behave the way keith does, it is his behavior that diminishes this site and drives quality posters away.

When polarization concerning beliefs and ideologies exists it should not be the goal of the proponent to be polarized from the opposing view holder, but it is the result of it. It is just a description of the vast chasm between opposing views which cannot be reconciled.

It isn't something to be attained, it is a noun that illustrates the distance between viewpoints.

It is not necessarily a bad thing, in and of itself. If my beliefs are compared to those of the liberal left, there is polarization. They will not accept my theology and its mores, and I will certainly not accept theirs. In such a case, my polarization is a symbol of my strongly held belief in Judeo-Christian values, and to strive to be rid of the polarization, to compromise, would be failure on my part, and is unacceptable and an anathema.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

Holding strong beliefs and sticking to them is a quality to be admired. I believe you can have strong beliefs and engage with others with different but equally strong beliefs in a civil manner. I have friends on both the left and the right and often have disagreements with them about policy, those disagreements do not transition in to personal attacks and attempts at intimidation.

It is not about ending divergent viewpoints but rather how those with different opinions treat one another.

And of course, I spin it differently. Bullying, are you claiming victimhood, I don't think so. Richer, more of a man than others, it seems so. Easily, I believe a thing that bothers some, is the painstaking research and documentation that keith can do. I do get it, the smallest thing can trip someone's trigger. Engage, and things drag out, but there must have been a reason for engaging, turn it off, I dunno, it's so easy.

You aren't half bad at responding with personal attacks, but you are pretty good at leading with personal attacks.

Coming from you, I will consider that a very rare positive comment. wink

But, I’m telling you, we are far, far beyond thinking we are being attacked. We are being attacked.

If you live in an American city where the call to prayer is blasted 5 times a day, and military aged ‘youfs tell you to get off the sidewalk when they walk by, you are being attacked. I do live there.

Read again my resurrection and retelling of Carlin’s bit. You are confusing “some” with “all”.


James,
“Some” elected Tim Walz, over the protestations of his family. “Some” elected Mamdani in NY, a literal collectivist.

I just want to know, where do you consider the tipping point to be critical?

Best,
Ted

___________________________________________________________________________________
Hate to break it to you, but the leftist friends got rid of me, not the other way around. They do that. When they aren’t drawing a bead on a republican politician with the guns they hate so much.

And "some" elected Trump. And a whole bunch of other politicians you support. IIRC they have the presidency, the Senate and the House. And a 6 to 3 majority on the USSC. You had the 2020 presidential election stolen from you by voter fraud. That's a tipping point. Are enough people now in jail from that? You've allowed, through your media, to have the actions of Jan 6 to be completely mischaracterized by the media and have let subversive government agents who were trying to incite a riot get away with it. That's kind of a tipping point for me. Are any of those agents in jail now? Charged? Under investigation?

The vast majority of Democrat voters aren't the problem. It's your educational system from K through college. It's your media. It's your lobbying controls. Your election finance rules. The weaponization of the judicial system for political gain. And it's a small number of very far left progressive socialists.

And as far as your sig line comment goes....of course they got rid of you. It's the stupidity that has infected both sides. Because we all know that for every you that got dumped by left of center friends, there are some right of centers who dumped their Democrat friends. You are just making my point.


The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
