You may be right. I had avoided political talk here until I decided I wanted to talk about it again.

That's irrelevant to the importance of the subject in general, which makes it irrelevant to the topic. More deflection.


I've read the whole thread and all I can say is :roll: :roll: :roll: .
If I didn't throw around the term Real Americans before I might start now just because I can. I won't even bother to try to convince you that I'm not a racist because I don't care if you believe I am or not.

Yours truly,
The Real American

You don't think it's relevant whether the people who you're demanding repudiate a term actually use the term in question? That's kind of telling.

It's only relevant if you can't provide a strong counter-argument apparently.

As I already alluded to, the only acceptably "relevant" response would be to read the lines jrjones' has painstakingly written and stop improvising.

As someone who has frequently struggled with the seeming rebellious autonomy of all the players within my solipsistic nightmare existence, I can only sympathise.

If you're incapable of recognising the worst the "left" has to offer, but zero in on the worst of the "right", going as far as implying they're representative of the entirety of the "right", there's little value in further discourse on this subject.

The extent of American political partisanship never ceases to amaze me.


Are you talking about the minority of protesters who give the rest a bad name by looting and vandalism? Because I can't recall any liberals wanting to deport or "disappear" fellow citizens they deem as aliens.


Are you now recognising the existence of a lunatic fringe on the "left" but only within selective parameters relating to current affairs?


The modern left doesn't give their lunatics a platform like the right does for theirs.
And as a matter of fact, there is a huge difference between angry leftists, and bigoted rightists.


You just don't learn, do you? YOU ARE FREAKING RUDE!! !! !!
The mods are going to have to do what they want. I'm tired of turning your ass in. You're no Christian. Anything but. I'm not a damn bigot!

You know what? I hope Trump turns your world totally upside down. You need a few things to worry about. Right now, you have too much time on your hands to do the devils work.

Just out of curiosity, has any Trump supporter ever uttered the phrase "real Americans" on WP? I recall a lot of catchphrases getting throw around, but not that one.


Maybe not here, but it's been a talking point for the right in general. I still recall how that cretin, Dan Quail, during a speech in a small town had told the assembled crowd how they, small town folk, were the real America, not the cities. It's not such a jump in logic to realize small town equals white, while cities equate black.

You have encountered one of the most blindly partisan individuals on WrongPlanet.


Well, next to you, sweet guy.

Sometimes, I think you must have a flowchart of how to link any statement made by any Republican ever to racism in three steps or less, it's almost impressive.

So, "things that make Republicans look racist" is your special interest? I mean, you can't seem to recall things you said last week, but you're Johnny on the spot if we need some ancient Dan Quayle quotes to prop up a flimsy premise.
