"I just don't see the point of debating with someone who honestly believes that the only thing that stands between us and a totalitarian dictatorial regime is having guns in our pockets"

Well, that's what the second amendment is all about, a corrupt government fears an armed citizenry.

"And who says that taxes are literally the same as armed robbery"

Professor Walter Williams, Head of the economics department at GMU.

The IRS doesn't exactly say it but, try not paying and watch them come (with guns) and seize your property.

If anyone else took 45% of your hard earned cash you'd call it theft wouldn't you?

"When confronted with an inability to respond coherently, the fascist's best defense is demonization"

I've had a little experience in this area, I make comments and the liberals cop a condecending attitude and start name calling. The early indicators were pointing in that direction

"He hasn't resorted to name calling yet, perhaps that is next.Doesn't that juxtaposition strike you as a bit odd?"

No

"While we are on the subject of name calling, you should get over your penchant for belittling people. You referred to our president and vice president as clinton/gore and algore. Do you have understanding of how much that makes you sound like a mean-spirited churl?"

They should both be tried for treason and if convicted punished in the traditional manner. Selling the nuclear arsonal to the Chinese Communists makes them the lowest form of scum, need I explain any further?

"Whether you like it or not, these people were elected by a majority of the population of our fair country"

No they weren't! The first time clinton received a 23%plurality, more people voted against him than for him.

"...they deserve the respect of their offices."

Why? They sure as HELL don't respect their offices (sex in the oval office/no controlling legal authority etc.)

"In Al Gore's case, he got a majority of the vote and still didn't get elected"

LOOK! There were 50 state races with various "winner takes all" amounts of electoral votes. Those were the rules before the election and since the beginning of the US.

Bush won more of those eletoral votes.

The so-called "popular vote" is a contrived meaningless number and has no bearing whatsoever on the outcome of a Presidential election.

"I hate to have to tell you this, but if you claim to love America you have to actually accept things like democracy and the fact that most of us don't agree with your views"

No I don't! My views come from the Constitution. Elected officials and military take an oath to defend and uphole the Constitution of the US.

I hate to tell YOU this, but the word "democracy" does not appear in the Constitution. This is not and never has been a "democracy" and I indeed do not like "democracy"

In a "democracy" you would vote on every bit of minutia to come along, like what color uniforms the guards at the White House would have, appropriations bills, everything. There would be no congress, they would not be necessary.

Democracy is mob rule. Five guys decide (vote)to rape a woman, that's democracy.

The democrats have been repeating this democracy lie for years just to market their corrupt fascist party.

We live in a Republic. Check out the pledge of allegiance "and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands"

"You seem to love America, but you don't seem to like most Americans very much"

I like them just fine. If you look at the election 2000 political map you will see that this country is divided between country and city people. I'm a country person.

Most algor voters live in the corrupt and psychotic cities.

"While we are on the subject of name calling and belittling, calling me laughing boy and accusing me of being a fascist is really kind of crude. What are you hoping to accomplish by this? This is not the way to win friends and influence people"

I'll get back to you on this one, see earliest posts.

"I'm a musician, too. What kind of music do you play? Maybe we can get together sometime and jam and not talk politics. ;-)"

I play blues, boogie woogie and swing on B-3, Wurlie and regular pianos and blues harp.
