Throw Obama in the works (a pure political animal) and …no I don’t trust anything he says or anything any of his departments came up with. Again, look at the Hillary Clinton case. Lynch was in the bag for her the entire time.
Sorry, I’m still not following you. Although I suspect it’s probably ground we’ve covered before, so I have no problems with dropping it absent a burning desire on your part to clarify so that we might continue.
I am agnostic, so I don’t necessarily not believe it. But I put and emboldened the term “operative” in that post in order to suggest that I’m talking about rights that have concrete effects here in the world we’re discussing. I don’t care whether the snake will burn in hell after he dies: that doesn’t get me my egg back. Until Jesus starts trying facts here where the glass is dark, your natural-law theory of property doesn’t mean anything. Whether or not you “own” your car in a way that has any concrete effect whatsoever on you and those around you is entirely contingent upon the organized society I described in my previous post, which in turn is entirely contingent upon the rule of law you so passionately hate.
As into them as the CIA, FBI, NSA, SSCI, ODNI, DOJ, Treasury Department, and House Intelligence Committee, apparently.
The rule of law in this case protects ones private property rights. The most basic and many would argue only legitimate role of government, is to protect individual rights.
Don’t go claiming that private property rights are different from one’s right to not be offended, or one’s right to the services of another. Everyone knows “private property rights” are merely alt-right codespeak for “right to deny services to(or even own) black people.”
A pattern emerges in which you respond to criticism of what I will generously call your political philosophy by spitting some tail-tucked sarcasm as a kind of defensive-vomiting response. In making these periodic messes you appear more often than not unable to resist including, among the juvenile ancap muck & bile, some stupid racialist whinge even when the issue at hand has nothing whatsoever to do with the identity politics on which you are so obviously fixated. You should probably get that looked at.
This is the United States of America: all political discussions involving a progressive are eventually going to result in the “racist”(or some variation thereof) trump card being played. Although that may be a slippery-slope logical fallacy, it has yet not to occur in such a conversation. I just jumped to the inevitable(I know it’s a slippery-slope to here…there’s a first time for everything and all) end of the discussion-heck, I even included “alt-right.” You should be thanking me for saving you some time.
In other words, you would like to conceal your own obvious infatuation with identity politics by way of the projectionist fantasy that somebody else would have eventually resorted to identity politics at some time in the future. This despite the fact you are one of only two active contributors to this board who seem intent upon pivoting every debate to creepy, non-sequitur racial whining.
Yes, that’s it. I don’t believe you’ve ever seen me do any “racial whining,” though…unless you read such into any belief in rights, or read such into the mocking of those who would play the trump card.
*It should be noted that the non sequiturs(typically accusing the opponent of some nefarious -ism because some proponent of that -ism has also taken the opponent’s position on a narrow issue that has nothing to do with the -ism) usually come from the progressive.
