Let's look at a snapshot of threads started by a particular person:



What can we tell about this person?

I would say that a specific theme emerges if we look at these threads; all started by the same person.

It seems that this person cannot get past any discussion that isn't about the evils of Republicans, conservatives or the Bush admin. It is almost as if these are the only political issues we face today.



Like I said Host, I agree with you.

I would think that there are a great many topics that can be discussed, that are equally important, that don't revolve the evils of all things conservative.
If you believed, as I do, that the political climate in Washington, reinforced by
the behavior of an increasingly imperialistic, increasingly secretive and unaccountable, regime that communicates it's message by means of openly propagandized rehearsed and staged "events" disseminated by politically sympathetic former news "bureaus", to an extent that is more reminiscent of
Hitler's reich than of the Nixon White House, how differently would you particiapte on this political forum, than I am?

You have chosen sarcasm to post your theme of objection to a list of thread
titles to threads that I have started on this forum? Is that the method that
you suggest that I use to communicate my concerns and to register my protest about what I see coming from Bush's government and it's supporters?

I endeavor to back the premises of the threads that I start with news reporting from sources broadly recognized by what remains of the journalistic communtiy as "sources of record". I do not easily accept my own suspicions
about the "Hitleresque" similarity I see in our present national government.
When I attempt to second guess myself, I end up confirming my worst fears.
I post what I have come to believe. Were I to use sarcasm or bitterness, or an advocacy for violent revolution be more palatable to you, KMA?

I started a thread to discuss the direction that TFP Politics is headed toward.
You started a thread recently themed with similar points. How did you react to those who responded by "shooting the messenger" ? Can you post your
thoughts with less sarcasm and vitriol toward me? I posted about an observation that seems to have some merit, other posters have confirmed this. I welcome your "take" if you can stop being distracted by my authoring the thread.
