Just as clueless.

You fawn over the hosts – what do you expect. A great accomplishment, congratulations.

And none of your points show any inkling of a recognition that Don and Russ are quite capable of being wrong or petty themselves.

RE: “when it is obvious from the putdowns you get that no one is buying your act.”

The only people that put me down like that are the people that I’ve honestly never found convincing myself and that rely more on insult than arguing. There are quite a few people on here who I disagree with but who have expressed appreciation with the way I make my case on here. And Russ has emailed me personally requesting that I don’t stop commenting despite the rancor that goes on here on occassion.

#1. Unlike yourself, I have never been told by the hosts of this blog to shut up for awhile.

#2. Neither of the hosts have ever directly told me that my comments were incoherent and reveal a lack of cognitive recognition of points.

#3. Neither of the hosts have ever directly told me that my comments were most often just plain boring.

#4. Neither host has ever questioned my ability to “see the point” in their posts and note that I barge ahead with irrelevant disagreements.

All of these, #1 thru #4, attest to the immaturity of which I accuse you, as not once have those direct comments made to you by the hosts have caused you to even stutter step, or seem to have a moment’s introspection on your conduct.

Again I am no libertarian, libertarians in general are to willing to embrace more government than I am.

Last, I wipe my rhetorical ass with such as muirduck, such as he exist only to be made fun of, just like the town drunk or the village idiot who insist on interrupting the conversations of their betters, and I am rough edged enough to say so.

I will say one thing for muirduck in opposition to you. At least he does not try to hide his stupidity, he lets it hang out regularly. You on the other hand think you are cute and clever with your disingenuous and duplicitous comments, when it is obvious from the putdowns you get that no one is buying your act.

Democracy is based on the assumption that a million men are wiser than one man. How’s that again? I missed something.

Any government will work if authority and responsibility are equal and coordinate. This does not insure good government; it simply insures that it will work. But, such governments are rare. Most people want to run things but want no part of the blame. This used to be called, “Backseat-driver Syndrome”

Oh, and just because it’s funny:

A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits.

R.A.H.

Funny that you would call someone else, “lard ass”.

Do you ever go back and read your posts? You’re really the libertarian muirgeo. Most of it is ravings and hyperbole, mixed in with insults of fellow commenters and broad denunciations of whole classes of people in society. You think your crowning achievement is calling me immature. I think I’ve proven myself immeasurably more mature than you, but even if I’ve failed in that at least I have the opportunity for growth. You’re just a bitter old man that cares more about denigrating others than making a substantive point.

You really are off in your own little world, aren’t you vidyohs?

I never dismissed freedom as a secondary concern – I dismissed that division as the most pressing division there is to be concerned about. Freedom is of primary importance, but it’s precisely because that division isn’t really central that I can dismiss the division as not being one of the most important.

And granted, that’s very context-based. If I lived in Pakistan or Iran or China, that division in opinion probably would be my primary concern. So to a large extent the answer depends on the context we’re refering to.

Hmmm… not exactly the most pressing division in the world today, but I’m of the “free individuals” opinion myself.

Why am I not surprised to learn that you dismiss freedom as a secondary concern?

What is the more important, freedom or the color of your lipstick? Perhaps the quality of your tofu is more pressing than defense of freedom? I don’t know, maybe you think the color of the car you drive is more important than the freedom to buy gas when you decide you need it.

Tell us oh aged, wise, and experienced one, just what is the most pressing concern in the world today?

Freedom, not the most pressing concern in the world. Only from a child like thought process could such a proclimation come.

You may think they are blunt, rude, mean, spiteful, honest to the point of pain, but racist? Find one in which Limbaugh says or indicates a belief in the superiority of one race over another.

Truth knows no race, honesty knows no race; what you left leaning loonies want is for us to live the lie that political correctness has attempted to create in this nation, and has to some degree been successful in so doing. I refuse to cooperate in that foolishness and say so publicly.

So if you’d like to begin a list of vidyohs-pidities using this as a starting point, go ahead and make a laughing stock of yourself. I can reasonably kick your ass in defense of anything I write here, perhaps not to you but to an impartial jury of other posters and participants on the Cafe, which in reality is all I care about when I comment.

muirpidities exist on the other hand because they are stupid utterances by a socialist fool, who is given the opportunity to explain or defend and proves himself consistently unable to do so, and again that impartial jury of participants here on the Cafe have passed judgment on muirduck’s total lack of intelligent capability.

You join him at your own debasement, and that is strictly voluntary on your part.

No, I wasn’t hinting. I pretty much just said it.

And yes I’m biased, I’m a Giants fanboy! Go Big Blue!
