That's funny, as a conservative and the owner of the site, it would seem to me that if we thought that liberals should be locked up that, at the very least, we'd remove articles of opposing views.
As for Michael Moore, I've seen a lot of anti-Moore articles but I can't recall anyone saying he should be jailed.
You accused Jill of being hateful simply because she asked you why someone as obnoxious as Michael Moore isn't on your list.
You like Michael Moore. That's fine. I like Condoleeza Rice. The fact that conservatives don't like Michael Moore doesn't make them hateful anymore than you not liking Condoleeza Rice makes you hateful.
| The list I created was meant to be in fun, just as any of my lists are. They're nothing to start arguments about. |
Right.. And when Jill asked a very simple question with not an ounce of argument in her statement, you responded with:
Heads Up, Jill,
I'm a big fan of Michael Moore, and therefore he does not belong on my list. However, you're perfectly entitled to make up your own list on a future blog of yours and put him on it.
If I listed the people I like, there wouldn't be enough time in my lifetime to make the list complete. I'm 30, btw. I think, however, that the list that you just spent some of your valuable time reading stacks up pretty good vs. people I like, people I know personally, and the rest of the world. Look at it this way, Jill: There are over two billion people in China and India who don't care.
I learned a long time ago that it isn't against the law to be a conservative. That's part of being a liberal. We respect the rights of others to think what they wish. When it's illegal to be a liberal, you let me know. I don't want to be a lawbreaker, like some conservatives I could name. |
That looks pretty argumentative to me.
I am pleased to know that you learned at some point that it's not illegal to be a conservative. And it's really big of you to respect the rights of others.
As a conservative, I've always knowns it's not illegal to have opposing points of view. And not only do I respect the rights of others, I've spent tens of thousands of dollars to enable people of all political persuasions to have a free way of expressing their opinions. So you'll have to excuse me if I find the tone of your responses a bit argumentative as they seem to imply that somehow conservatives are narrow minded or desire to restrict the rights of others.
I agree that it's fun to make lists. But you sure came across as defensive to Jill's question in my opinion.
