Are There Any Great Thinkers Around Here?

Let's Jump In

Why the hell didn't you ask me what Leftists are? I grew up in Kenosha. A hard-core union town. I can tell you things you would never believe. Why is that? You think people are all the same. That we all have an opinion. You don't believe there is an objective truth. Where did you learn that? And why can't learn anything from these posts here?  You are a skeptic or sap. which one is it?  The leftists think you are a sap.

I'm sorry this post has triggered your... whatever the hell is wrong with you. You're from a "hardcore union town". And??? What the hell does that have to do with anything? You can tell me things I'd never believe? How about doing that rather than whatever the hell it is you're doing here? "You think people are all the same?" I do? Maybe you should expand on that. "That we all have an opinion." Yeah, I suppose I do think that. Maybe not one you've arrived at through some rational process, but still... "You don't believe there is an objective truth." Really? Tell me more. Because I'm not aware of having that opinion, let alone where I might have learned it from. I'm curious if you've even read the post you're reacting to. I see no sign of it.

OK. You want answers?  I'm from Kenosha. You ask, "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"  Do you know what came from that town?  Snap-On Tools. Nash/AMC. American Brass. MacWhyte Wire Rope. Kenosha, the home of Orson Welles, and many Hollywood actors. I knew the Pollards. Grew up next door to Joe Andrea and his family. I met Joe Pepitone when I was a boy. You might not know this Sarnak, but there are people in America who are the elites. These are all Leftists. And that makes me qualified to speak. Why? Because I know what Leftists are and how they think. Not because I wanted to, but because I was forced to live in their system. I would love to just invent things, work in my shop, and read hundreds of books I have here. You are talking to a guy who had to register for the draft in 1973, and long before that feared for my brother Dave who might be drafted. I fought against it then, and the govt is much much bigger now. I spent thousands and thousands of truck driver dollars fighting it. I fought for your kids, Sarnak. so have some respect, you punk. Go walk you dog. By the way, your relationship with your dog is very bad for your image.

Well, that's at least some sort of reply. It doesn't make any actual sense. But, it's a reply. I never asked about any qualifications to speak on the subject, and you haven't bothered to speak to the subject: "What is a leftist?" You know how leftists think. Fine. Let's hear it. HOW do they think? You had to register for the draft? Which has what to do with the subject? There are elites? Which has what to do with the subject? Unless this is all related to what happens in their heads, and you also explain what's happening in their heads, nothing you're raving about has anything to do with the question. Leftists make decisions differently than other people. Why? What are they processing, how are they processing it? Is it just my dog that hurts my image in your fantasy world? Or are the cats a problem too? How about the birds in the trees? Maybe having trees is bad? How about my garden? Is that okay with you? Clearly I need to check in and clear every aspect of my life with you to preserve my image. Mister. You ARE a leftist. You're not reasoning from any principles. You're just making declarations. You don't need to support anything with reason because only your passions matter. That's what makes a leftist. And your strenuous objections to the exact world your thinking leads to doesn't change a thing. This is your world. Not mine. Their thinking, that you learned as a child, is that if you demonstrate sufficient emotional conviction, sufficient contempt for anyone who might disagree with you, demand accession to whatever lunacy you insist on, then reality will simply conform to your wishes. That's leftism in a nutshell.

You are not getting away with that. That might work on your Maoist buddies, but not me. I told you what you call normal, is not normal. You see no problem with pets? Then you aren't paying attention. You aren't fooling me. You say you don't follow sports? That may be the only valuable thing you have said right now. But don't tell me I'm the leftist. You went to school, and to work, and got a job with the govt, just like my father did. You thought you were doing the right thing. Paying your taxes, the mortgage, raising children, cleaning up dog excrement and spreading toxoplasmosis. That wasn't enough, Sarnack. You were wrong! Now GOD is punishing you. Your children are being tortured and killed. What do you do? Hang out with animals, and relate to human beings as if they were subhumans. You are not only a Leftist, sir, you are subhuman. You abandoned your children.
