Among the conservatives I know:

Where do you meet these people?

All walks of life including (I'm sorry to say) extended family.

I hate to say it, but I'm not sure you're being honest here. Where does one meet multiple leftists and NOT find at least one who is racist, and one or more who is (at the very least) unpatriotic? I see multiple examples of each type just among the leftists that I am Facebook friends with.

Interesting. So whom amongst OO, Owl#s, Webb, and myself are racist in your view of the world?

4 is definitely 'multiple', mind you......

I know you're joking here so I won't try to defend it

Im serious. You made a bald ass fing statement that wherever there are 'multiple conservatives that one must be a racist.'

There is a list of multiple 'conservatives'. Prove your statement up. Or is the comment just a knee jerk reaction that you pulled out of your ass? Im fine with either response in return.

To be blunt, I wouldnt defend that idiotic remark either.

Quote:. I could make the same argument that either Lad or I must be racist/unpatriotic per George's post.

I guess you cannot fathom any sort of difference between the specific term 'multiple' (asserted as a fact, mind you).

The terminology on your retort was 'very many' who are unpatriotic (I probably dont agree with that), and 'more than a few' who are anti-patriotic (one that I do agree with).

Either case, with a population of two, I think it not odd that you and lad are *not* necessarily unpatriotic, nor odd that you and lad are *not* anti-patriotic.

But your statement was quite a bit more precise. So, I have given you your "multiple" and your view is than one cannot avoid a racist with any multiple. Very specifically and explicitly. SO either one of the named *is* racist, or you are pulling specific and explicit statements pretty much literally out of your ass to make a rhetorical flourish.

So which is it? One of us has to be racist, or your comment was a typical knee-jerk rhetorical flourish that many progressives are drawn to like a Mardi Gras stripper is to a C-note.
