I'm not trolling, I'm addressing him at the level of intellect that I believe he holds which is why I refer to him as Forrest. Plus I think he's an asshole. He thinks the same about me, so we are in concert and unison with each other.
What you see is what you get with me, unlike you who portrays himself as something he's not.
I don't make snide little comments to people the way you do to me as you did here, when you made this comment:
I thought you would understand that I was reaching to something beyond your internet facade with this question. You had mentioned before that you are not particularly nasty in real life, and I believed you.And to the point, I'm not any bit
"particularly nasty" in real life, I simply am a direct person, and with all people I'd rather address them directly so there is no confusion. Call it being blunt.
I have no problem with your snide personality. I recognize that is how you operate, making pussy-like insinuations about me on a regular basis. That's fine if that's your persona. I really don't care.
Personally, I think you understand what I think of you.
As for Mike Rosen, I do like him and I think we are lucky to have VD Hanson as one of the intellectual giants out there. I certainly don't see his (VDH) position and my own as much different.
Nor don't find any of his commentary to be far from my thoughts.
Rosen, I haven't heard in the past few weeks, however when I have had the opportunity to hear his commentary in the last few years, he has explained himself as understanding that Party Trumps person (his standard credo).
I find that he and I are still very compatible in our views, however let me just say this.
If he were to be a never Trumper, I would totally disagree with him and disavow his views. I don't base my
politics, nor do I base my
principles on the views of others around me. -
I'll take this opportunity to make this observation about you. You seem to want to present yourself as some sort of Svengali when it comes to reading people here on the forum. Maybe you're just SO self-absorbed with your own importance, that it blinds you to the political positions of others around you, so I'll just posit this observation of mine.
You told me quite some time ago that Forrest was a "staunch conservative". Recently, you made the ridiculous claim that he and you were very similar in your political ideology, but had "drifted apart over the years". LOL!
If you truly believe
that statement above, then you are utterly naive IMO. That man's view have not changed. He's been a leftist progressive bordering on a socialist for as long as I can remember.
Therefore I would simply submit that your perceptions of others here are really not that bright, nor are they accurate, nor are they very intuitive.
I'm sure that you really pride yourself on being able to "
read" people, but lately you've truly been OFF the mark.
Can I tell you that without hurting your feelings?
Lastly, the same goes with your understanding of and your assertions about Russ Carroll. You told me on more than a half dozen occasions that he was one of the most conservative people on this forum.
Again, your intuition seems to have been utterly off the mark with him as well, unless of course you consider a person who voted for Hillary Clinton and one who proudly joined the Democrat party, boasts about it, and criticizes the Republicans as garbage, as a "
very conservative individual".
Personally, I find him to have gone off the reservation so to speak.
If you think that definition that describes him to describe a "conservative" then you need to reevaluate your position on that.
As far as this conversation goes this evening, I'm not really interested in having any rational discussions with you. In fact your position a few weeks back telling me that I am Irrational and Forrest is rational, tells me all I need to know about your intellect.
In other words, it really ain't much!
P.S. one last thing, since you believe that the supposed "risk to the healthcare system is WORTH the utter destruction of this economy, and
justified???????????
You truly are an absolute idiot.
