The Game Changer?

[rick-day.livejournal.com]

Well, it looks like Mitt Romney has been playing the "Selective Family Album" game and kinda/sorta/oppsies forgot to tell everyone he is 1/4 Mexican.

And just did why did Mitt's father flee Mexico for the safety of the US?

In his public life Mitt Romney has said and written little about his ancestors' history in Mexico.  In one oft-repeated quote he said his family left the U.S. for Mexico to escape persecution for their religious beliefs.

In fact, Romney's great grandfather, Miles Park Romney, led that first expedition to escape not persecution but prosecution for polygamy, or what Mormons called ‘plural marriage.’

Well, this is rather awkward, from a race standpoint. So we have the Southern US. There is a strong showing of rather simple minded voters who are Crusading Voters for Christ and All Other Things White™.

Who they going to vote for. Mitt the Mex? Barrak the Magic Negro?

Or maybe that white guy Gary Johnson, the only real social liberal/fiscal conservative in the race.

God DAMN I love Southern Idiocracy.

Question: Game changer? If Mitt embraces his SOTB roots, will this swing brown skins to his camp? WILL ANYONE DEMAND TO SEE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

ETA: This just in! Cain demands to know more about this polygamy thing!

Jeff, I am not jumping through your hoops to participate in the sort of discourse you consider debate but I do find it interesting that you have just engaged in the behaviors I criticized in order to show you don't engage in the behaviors I criticized.

You are the reason I find it often impossible to be productive in this community because you are intellectually dishonest AND because you are a mod. I'm letting this go for now but believe me, I have no intention of continuing to behave like a trained dog because you think that is the way debate goes and because you can set the tone because of your official role in this community: Jeff can never be wrong even though he is completely unwilling to engage in intellectual consistency and the rest of us, given that paradigm, have to argue the same damn cloying posture over and over, topics changing as the posts change, because Jeff demands it. That's what you want and no intellectually honest person would want that.

If being called out on your misstatements, if not outright lies, is the type of behavior I'm supposed to fix, I'm glad I'm pissing off the right people.

If I'm wrong, prove it. If I'm not wrong, accept it. If you cannot participate here without complaining about my existence, let us know. It ain't hard. Contribute like a normal human being.

Why do you always talk down to people?

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

Why do people need to lie and obfuscate about me? Are you asking them why they believe things that are false, or only concerned with how I choose to defend myself?

What makes you think people are lying and obfuscating about ou?

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

Well, when they're saying things that are untrue and that are known to be untrue, it's a fairly obvious observation. Pretty simple stuff.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Yet another thing you do all the time: claiming things are untrue because you think they're untrue. The fairly obvious observation, observed by many here on LJ, and observed by those that ran you off Wikipedia, is that you do these things all the time. The only constant is you, but it's always someone else out to get you, isn't it?

That you want to believe things that aren't true is your call at the end of the day, whether it be that I do anything "all the time" or that I was run off of Wikipedia. They're verifiably false statements, but you believe them anyway. Call it a "constant" if you'd like, but at the end of the day you're disbelieving what is in front of you in favor of trolls and lunatics. That's not a reflection on me, and I see no need to concern myself with it.

Jeff, that you want to believe things that aren't true is your call at the end of the day. Thank you for sharing your always unique perspective.

I look forward to your productive discussion in the future.
