Obama's "new vision of ... bizarre values, completely alien to our moral fiber"

[DougRich]

Laws are made on the basis of what people in a society want or don’t want. If the issue at hand is say “Gay marriage”, your average Joe on the street recognizes that after his own perception – even if it differs from the perception of his neighbor! In the court of public opinion (where lawmakers draw up their agenda) the only legal term is “gay”. Activists refer to the phenomenon as “Gay marriage”, the media refer to it as “Gay marriage”, and pollsters refer to it as “Gay Marriage”. The only term used by the public when influencing lawmakers to act is “Gay”.  And therein lies the liberal “now-you-see-it-now you don’t”. They use a do-it-yourself term for public consumption to pull off something in the courts that the public may not buy if they actually knew all of the particulars.  

Consider yourself exposed.

You very obviously did not absorb any part of my last post, as evidenced by your complete failure to respond to its contents, and so...check back with me if you're ever in the mood for a serious discussion. I'm not going to hold my breath.

Checkmate.

Checkmate.

You've obviously never played chess. That's what you say when you've won the game - not when you've so consistently proven that you don't understand the rules that no one is interested in playing with you any more.

You still here Doug? You gave the impression you were leaving this thread.

If you took something that I wrote to mean that I was "leaving this thread", then I guess you were wrong...as difficult as that concept may be for you to absorb.

It does present me with the opportunity to let you in on a new policy that I'm going to have to implement, when it comes to our little discussions - yours and mine - in order to save time and bandwidth.

If you make a statement with which I disagree, and I feel strongly enough about it, I may comment. If you ask a question, and I feel like I have an appropriate or meaningful answer, I will temporarily pretend that you are genuinely interested in receiving responses to your question, and I may provide one.

If your response, should you venture one, to what I've written is pertinent, intelligent, relevant or serious to any degree, I may then respond, or I may not. Should I not respond, at any time, to something that you've written and directed at me, you are, of course, free to crow "Checkmate!", do a little dance, announce that you've prevailed in the "debate", or whatever strikes your fancy. Have fun with that.

Now, if you have anything to say that relates to what I've written in this thread, go for it. Otherwise...

Douglas, that sure is a long-winded way of saying "If I read something I want to comment on, I will comment on it," don't you think?

Also, doesn't all of that go without saying?

Apparently not to Mornac.
