    I got it: The greatest troll ever has returned. Capable of twisting any argument, circling any logic, evading any question and yet people to hold onto his every word... Red Stateler = Ilion. Suddenly the universe makes sense.

    I thought the same too, but, I believe that Ilidiot is in a league of his own compared to d-espeir.

      Sadly, no. But you'll be pleasantly surprised: even Red hated the ShitHead with a passion. It was the sole thing Stateler and I agreed upon - the ShitHead has the mental capacity of mud (which isn't surprising since he is apparently the son of an indentured servant).

        Since you are brining it up, I'll make one comment. I thought the same thing because early espier had a similar style to this guy, but Red would never ever say he wasn't Catholic. It doesn't keep them from being twins separated at birth though.

        The difference between pH 13 and pH 8 is five, which meant that pH 13 was ten to the fifth power - a hundred thousand times - more alkaline than pH 8. That kind of thing goes on all the time. But no matter how many diplomas are tacked to your wall, give people a figure like that and they'll pass you off as a flake. You can't get most people to believe how wildly the eco-laws get broken. But if I say "More than twice the legal limit," they get comfortably outraged. - Neal Stephenson

            Hard to say.......it is a pretty similar style of calling everybody who disagreed an idiot. Of course, it seems that has become an unfortunate trend.

            A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. - -Lazarus Long

            You people are simply amazing! You (plural) project *your* faults onto me ... often in the very same posts in which you are displaying those faults. I criticize your (plural) refusal to *think* It is you people who equate disagreement with your beliefs (most of which are false, anyway) with idiocy.

              No no no no. Red Stateler is 50% leg pulling and 50% idiocy. Ilidiot is pure and unadulterated idiocy. I think Red is the product of his environment. Ilidiot stupidity is in his genetic makeup.

                  I guess Red buggered off before I ventured into the SoapBox void. I never saw any of his posts. But if they are not the same and are similar, then it disturbs me that something Iliot-like can happen twice. :~

                    I always found Red to be very astute in his observations. Ilion can occassionally make some valid points, more frequently than the leftist horde here does, but he does represent a facton of conservatism that does the movement a great deal of harm. His reasoning, in fact, is very similar to that generally associated with the left, his conclusions are merely different.

                      You're so amusing. The fact is that my reasoning is always sound (it's a life-long habit) and I make it a point to be conservative (by which I don't mean in a political sense) in my claims. You just don't like some of the conclusions I express. The problem (from your point of view) is that all your attemps to refute them rely upon question-begging. Same as your leftist buddies here ... who are, of course, going to fall all over themselves in admiration for you now and in the future. :rolleyes:

                          Tell you what, Stan, in the future (because *I* will not be any different than I am today), why don't you point this out when it happens (not that it ever will).

                            Actually, I think they view me as a greater threat than they do you to their core principles precisely because I do agree with them on the fundamental accomplishments of the age of reason. The only real difference between them and I is that I believe the age of reason ended in about 1791 or so (with the end of the American Revolutionary period), and they believe it ended over a century later (with the rise of liberation theory and the collapse of international western imperical hegemony,etc). I think that the intellectual battles of the 19th century represent a reversal of reason and are at least partially repsonsible for the rise of the modern "religious right" which you, I assume by reading between the lines, represent. You and I share the same enemy but for starkly different reasons. If there was not such a dangerous threat from secular humanism and Islam, I would consider you the primary threat to my civilization.

                              I'll admit the number of times I actually enjoyed with/agreed with his posts is not zero. Quite a few, really. To say "always" though seems to suggest some kind of confirmation bias...

But, in fact, what you *really* mean is than I am one of those terrible, terrible people whose ideas stand in the way of the ideas of fine, upstanding persons such as yourself defining what it means to be "conservative." Apparently, people like me are supposed to shut up ... but be sure to turn out on election day.

Have you actually read any biographies of Jefferson? Do you have any idea what his politics was actually like?

                                        "Jeffersonian Democracy" does not refer specifically to Thomas Jefferson, it refers to the entire intellectual momentum than culminated in the establishement of our constitutional republic. Jefferson's name is merely attached to it because he was a man of such enormous intellectual energy, authored the Declaration of Independence and all. I would actually prefer to refer to it as "Madisonian" democracy, but that would just be so pendantic. I'm not a big fan of Hamilton, and I am somewhat surprised that you are. He was a rabid federalist and would probably have been quite comfortable with the modern democrats in many ways. Jefferson and Madison ultimately became the proponents of the anti-federalists in opposition to Hamilton (thank God for Burr), which became the controlling principle of American society until about the time of FDR. It is what allowed the people to control their local schools and establish laws governing their local society without being subverted by the federal courts. It was the very basis of 'States Rights', something Hamilton would have vehemently opposed.

                                          I always found Red to be very astute in his observations. Ilion can occassionally make some valid points, more frequently than the leftist horde here does, but he does represent a facton of conservatism that does the movement a great deal of harm. His reasoning, in fact, is very similar to that generally associated with the left, his conclusions are merely different.
