He does seem to be strangely interested in me...

It's best to not only allow them to believe we are fascists or nazis but give them little things build on it in thier minds.
Any butthurt they experience can be considered self inflicted since they elected to stir the hornets nest when they didn't have to.

In other words "I don't mind if people think I'm a nazi, as long as I think I'm annoying a liberal." Yeah that sounds like someone who has their priorities straight. :roll:

You mean the opposite of "I don't mind if people think I'm a communist, as long as I think I'm annoying a conservative." Yeah that also sounds like someone who has their priorities straight. :roll: :roll: < double eye-roller

Nope, just trying to understand. Sorry if my disbelief comes through.

You tell a good story about how tough you are and how much you like annoying people when you are not anonymous.

Yep good story.

Violent Leftists at Berkeley shut down free speech again. The following is commentary and links from law professor Glenn Reynolds, with active links available here: https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/256199/

----------------------------------------------------
THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOR SEEMS LIKE A CONSPIRACY TO INTERFERE WITH THE EXERCISE OF A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, AND THUS A FEDERAL CRIME: Violent protests force cancellation of Milo Yiannopoulos appearance at Berkeley. I hope that Attorney General Sessions will have the Justice Department look into this.

MORE: MILO Berkeley Event Evacuated as Masked Protesters Light Fires, Storm Venue.

STILL MORE: Thousands of Students and Anarchists Swarm Berkeley Campus to Protest Milo Speech. “Thousands of anarchists and students are swarming the University of California, Berkeley campus to protest a planned speech by Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulous. There is currently a large fire blazing in front of the student union, which is surrounded by a ring of protesters, many of whom are clad in black.”

Related: The Left Holds Itself To Lower Standards Of Behavior. As is common with small children and adolescents.

MORE STILL: “Berkeley still has rent control, but it hasn’t stopped Milo Yiannapoulos from living rent-free in the heads of the left. So in another triumph for his ironic performance art, a mini-riot has forced the cancelation of his speech here tonight.”

I think I understand now.

I would not say you are annoying.

The masked gunman icon, the tough talk, the tough stories.

Yep, good story.

It seems like free speech isn't allowed by those who are constantly defending free speech, if they decide it's hate speech. However apparently it's okay for them to display hate, if they decide whoever they're hating on is a fascist.

That would imply that I am attacking his character to cast aspersions on a point he was making, which I am not.

My questions are directed at further understanding.

Besides, some who enjoys seeing others "butthurt" as he puts it, should not be bothered by what I have been asking.

I didn't mean you specifically mister defensive, I meant overall. And I agree, he most likely regards you the same as a pesky gnat buzzing around his head.

I just watched Bannon in a taped interview from the Vatican not long ago, so it's funny you mention the Swiss Guard. Bannon said that we are in a war between Islam and Christianity, in so many words. At least, Daesh can now use his direct words which convey that basic message, and state that this person is high in the national security apparatus of the US.

The current administration has dangerous extremists on board. Bannon must go.

Stephen Miller is another liability. I watched him spitting with rage in a couple of interviews, and he must go.


You should start a petition.

No need. A bill has been introduced to remove political hacks from the NSC.

You might remember this from your childhood. @2:45 is especially pertinent.

What kind of relations do you want to have with Iraq? Trump's tweet about their being controlled by Iran, combined with the complaints that Iraqi elected officials must be getting from their constituents over the Muslim Ban has probably made their lives really complicated. They probably thought they had their hands full, already.

That's the problem with oversimplifying and even dehumanizing other groups of people. It's hard to picture them dealing with the normal pressures of life while seeing them portrayed not as individuals, but faceless agents of incomprehensible evil.

TBH, it's only a more obvious problem for enemies. The risk is worse, although less reported or noticed, when people assume that a visual or genetic affinity will make people more trustworthy.
