This is the twilight zone.

1. I adhere to Reagan’s 11th commandment that you never speak ill of a fellow who is on your side. I never do. Why pile on is my thought.

Never remain neutral. The loser will have no room for you in their camp and the victor will consider you their spoils.

That line always made sense to me.

That’s not immoral. That’s not insincere. That’s loyalty. Now if a leftie poster in here raped a 13 year old girl or bragged about molesting people or sucked up to international despots on the regular I might have to erase my line in the sand and condemn.

2. I’m not singling you out on anything. The group think in here is unreal.

Here's the problem. Your approach forces you to be loyal to your team over the good of the country.

I work off ideas, not personalities. If my guy/gal has a great idea, I'm all for him/her. If he/she has a terrible idea, I'm not going to be bashful about calling him/her out.

I take Reagan's 11th commandment not to mean that you simply follow like sheep, but rather that you can voice disagreements over ideas, but you don't go after your own side by attacking character.

You know what else? I’m talking about a POSTER. Not a politician, not an idea. We should be making all of our posts around that. Stop personalizing EVERYTHING!

MY GOODNESS.

I agree with this. I try not to attack anybody. If someone comes at me I sometimes fall short sure. I’m saying I have never spoken ill will of a leftie poster even if he comes at me. Plenty of other people willing to take that shot.

It gets hot in the kitchen sometimes. If you want to cook you better be able to handle the heat.

No, you don't. You follow like sheep.

Its unreal how you on the left here parrot each other. Even using the same words. Its like you are given a script. We on the right disagree on quite a few things. Now we don't disagree that the MSM and left are FOS on Russia collusion theories. But that's just common sense.

Where are your posts condemning conservatives name-calling? It happens just as often...

I’ve spoken out when they were out of line.

I believe a few of the conservatives have called out their own..

I'm still waiting on a lib to call out one of their own.

And to my recollection Owl isn't a conservative.

I call out mach, the Toms, john (before the ban) all the time for being over the top. Must miss those posts

I did. Post a couple

Thanks for finding this gem..

Mensa makes the same claim.. When asked to show receipts crickets.
RWT.. Must've done it on the OTHER message board but I do..

And JDT, two years later.. Still crickets..

I'm seeing a pattern.

That laptop is likely stored right next to Hunter's laptop.

Anyone remember the "Magnet" episode from Breaking Bad?

Its amazing what you'll learn when you open your eyes. Like how a pdf you posted showed how the Biden* administration was late to authorize the startup of standby generators in Texas when a major winter storm was hitting and the wind generators were already failing.

I seem to remember you were proved a lying troll in that thread when you kept saying Monday when approval was sent to generators the same day it was requested.

The failure is the "event" in Ercots pdf. While the Biden* administration may have beat the failure by an hour or less, the authorization was about a half day too late to make a difference.
