Why do you make this assumption? Do you think that having had proof of your distortions provided to you in the past on this site has in any way altered your opinions or behavior here?

My opinions and behavior are reflected by me. There are people following these threads that do not comment. Just as there are voters that watch political commercials. Individual comments and political commercials lack substance.
If you're going to say I "distort"....you ought to prove it. Of course Allen Grayson said that the Republican healthcare plan was, "die soon" Grayson lost election today. Assertions and statements aren't reality. Liberals don't like to debate conservatives...they resort to slander and fear mongering. I've commented on Hatrack for over two years.....finding a quote of "distortion" ought to be easy.

You're playing to a hypothetical audience, then, instead of engaging in actual conversation?

Mal, what's hard is finding a quote from you that isn't distortion. The "problem" is that you always change the subject or otherwise ignore it when you're repeatedly proven wrong, and it can get a little exhausting for the rest of us to expend energy on, for example, pointing out that the quote "assertions and statements aren't reality" would be a perfect ironic rejoinder to your empty "liberals and conservatives are defined the way I say they are" assertion in another thread.
But I suspect you know this, which is why I asked -- because if you don't know this, perhaps you'll appreciate being informed.

Again, you made well spoken statements but failed to "prove me wrong". If, as you asert,....one simple example of my consistent distortions should be easy.
There are black conservatives and gay republicans. Liberals are the ones to stereotype. Democrats like a coalition of groups. What about the 1% of gays that are conservative republicans? Can you claim to be the party of the minority when you reject the lesbian african american conservative?
"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." Ayn Rand
Allen West and Marco Rubio are the most extreme of minorities....racial minorities that are Tea Baggers.

No. We can stop wondering about this. He is legitimately clueless as opposed to being a willful distorter.

quote:Nations with national healthcare do have McDonalds...pay twice as much for a burger though.
quote:That's why we are a nation of laws. Laws defend individual rights.
So the ban on use of marijuana, which *individual* right does it protect?
quote:There is a thin line between individualism and criminalism. We live in a country that no longer can say "illegal immigrant"....
Which *individual* right is protected by a ban on unrestricted immigration?
quote:It is illegal to enter this nation without approval...
Because of a law that by following *your* own logic is tyrannical and oppressive as it doesn't defend an *individual* right, but instead the collective right of citizens to determine who enters their nation.
Mind you I support such a collective right: I believe the citizens of nation should have the right to determine who else is free to enter their nation. But it comes in contrast to *your* logic, which seems to believe only the defense of individual rights as valid, and everything else "oppressive" and "tyrannical".
