Green stirred intense controversy over past comments and his voting record as a Tennessee state senator. Opposition mounted over his stances on the LGBT community, Muslims, Latinos, birth control, evolution and the Second Amendment, among other issues.

He’s said that “transgender is a disease” and agreed with a questioner who said “we need to take a stand on the indoctrination of Islam in our public schools,” among other controversial statements.

That’s quite a list.

I’d rather you and Frink keep ignoring me

For me, it would really help if you would return the favor, as I’ve said many times, but for some reason you still insist on responding to every post I make. And I’m not talking about posts like the one I’m making now, I’m talking about the random ones where I post a current events article. You always have to comment on it. Is it so hard to not respond? I don’t want to have a conversation with you, so why keep trying to comment on everything I say?

There is only one person on the top of the food chain here and his name is not TV’sFrink or warbler. Your words and opinions are no smarter or dumber than mine or anybody elses.

Commenting on a story you or any one else posts is fair game for comment. Why should yours be treated so special? Me commenting on them is not having a dialog with you. You take quietly worded pot shots at me or my person in other threads and that’s okay right?

You and warbler have made poor arguments for your positions. It’s bad enough you got me temp banned on a double standard. I will not let it happen again, guaranteed. Either own it, and say you won’t have a regular conversation with me because you don’t understand how to, or stop complaining and just be a normal person like everyone else here.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I only ever ask you to meet me half way, you tell me I must move all the way over, you create your own problem and then say you’re not at fault. That is insane.

Also, as far as I know, there isn’t a single reporter assigned to the press briefings that is a registered Republican.

I don’t know of any who are registered Democrats (and would it even matter if the news organization they represent is as conservative as most are?). But you know that white-supremacist-lite conspiracy theorist with the pedophile fixation you were quoting earlier? Yeah, that guy. He’s got a press pass now. Think he’s not a Republican? Although I do throw up a little when I try to call him a reporter.

Make crappy remarks all you like. I did not ask you to accept his view nor did I say he is gospel. And besides, he’s had a pass for a bit now, where have you been?

Get through your thick skull, the only one responsible for your temp ban is YOU. YOU got YOURSELF temp banned. No one tricked into to it. It was also not a double standard. The idea that we got you temped banned is utterly insane. But it is typical of you, blame everyone but yourself.

If you were willing to engage in normal discussion about it

I think he believes (and I agree with that belief), that engaging in a normal rational discussion with you is impossible.

said:

Why is it so hard for you to be normal in conversation? Why does everything you have to say have to be made to sound like you’re the smarter person?

One could ask you the same question.

said:

No need to be a dick or condescending.

Yes we get enough of that from you already.

btw, you want reasonable well rounded conversions? Stop defending Trump no matter what and deny being a Trump supporter. That would a start.

So you prove at least part of my point in your post.

No, you only think it does.

Because I don’t believe as you guys do I am unable to be understood and you cannot have a rational conversation with me.

not exactly. It goes beyond not believing as we do.

On top of that, you quoting my convo with Duracell is a moot point. Him and I already worked it out and we both understood where we were coming from and why. If I can have that kind of conversation with him, you guys can have it with me, it is your unwillingness to meet in the middle on anything that prevents that from happening.

May I remind you that you weren’t able to have “that kind of conversation” with Durecell, without warning him with:

No need to be a dick or condescending.

when he wasn’t being a dick or being condescending. Doesn’t seem like you had that great a conversation with him.

You keep providing every reason you can think of for you two not to converse with me.

Is that what I’m doing?

If you don’t want to have a conversation, that’s fine, but own it and don’t blame just me for not being able to.

But it is your fault. In my opinion, you don’t seem to be able to hold a rational reasonable conversation. It is not just me or Frink you’ve had problems holding conversations with, you seem to have problems with everyone here.

How hard is that really? Putting only your conditions on whether or not you have a conversation with me isn’t reasonable. It says that you don’t want to meet in the middle.

Sorry, but I don’t meet insanity/illogicality/irrationality in the middle.

It says that you want what you want or it won’t happen because it can’t unless I follow only your terms.

I’d rather you and Frink keep ignoring me than to subject my personal integrity just to have a small chance of talking with you normally. There is nothing that important that you two do here that would sway me to make such a one sided and futile compromise.

Peace

Don’t worry, I’ll go back to ignoring you soon.

You just keep telling yourself that.

Your opinion and needless name calling are noted. I’ll start ignoring you now.

Your insanity is noted.

Your persecution complex is noted.

You being a thick headed, stubborn, conceited, self important, ignorant, know-it-all jackass is noted.

I’ll go back to ignoring you now.

Macron campaign’s e-mails are now out on the Internet, unknown at this point if they were altered by Russian intelligence to give the appearance of impropriety like some of the Clinton campaign e-mails were. Le Pen campaign appears mysteriously immune from hackers. Election in two days.

Le pen is definitely going to win. Goodbye EU, hello to Russian domination of of the continent for years to come.

Donald Trump was just a normal polling error behind Hillary Clinton on the eve of the 2016 presidential election. The far-right National Front candidate in France, Marine Le Pen, by contrast, is an enormous, historic polling error behind the centrist En Marche! candidate Emmanuel Macron.

Le Pen is still going to win. France will fall yet again in another electoral upset.

Pollsters thought Hillary was going to win because people concealed their racism when interviewed.

Second wave fascism (aka right-wing populism) has been getting a second wind in the last few days with the House passing the AHCA. So I won’t be surprised when Len Pen wins and destroys the EU by taking France out. People don’t have any idea how popular the National Front is with young people over there.

I have no faith in humanity anymore.

FWIW, my prediction is that the French election will end up much like the recent Dutch election. Macron will win, but there will be a price. The Overton window will be moved so far to the right that fascism will be considered an established mainstream political option, albeit not the one currently in power. Most if not all national parties will feel obligated to borrow racist rhetoric from Le Pen’s fascists to some degree, to maintain popular appeal in the new political climate.

Not quite frevious bad, but sure as hell not wonderful.

Oh yeah, and we’ll have to finally admit that maybe the French are simply smarter than us, and that’s a tough pill to swallow. But on the upside, plane fares to Paris may get cheaper if they move the capital back to Vichy.
