'We hate the United States': Secessionists rally in Texas

YOU brought up something which was irrelevant to the thread. Your clearly false belief that right wingers are immune to supporting the same nonsense as some far left liberals.
Yo! Mr. "Your reading comprehension is obviously lacking" please reread post 372 -- that whole thing was started by Glinda, and i'm not going to get pulled into another side thread on a side thread started by you.
 
You simply do not understand what I'm trying to say yet do you? Your reading comprehension is SERIOUSLY lacking now. The support base doesn't necessarily have to be people working with the terrorists, it can come from outside sources. This is why I threw in the jersey reference in the analogy. I'll further explain this part of the analogy :

Theodore John Kaczynski, the unabomber, acted alone but that does not mean he, in his ideology was alone. Which is what I'm trying to explain to you. He simply didn't wake up one morning and became the first anarchist to advocate terrorism and engage in it. The seclusion he engaged in has been advocated by thousands across this country. In fact we have people on this very forum who advocate 'going back' to nature and removing ourselves from society. Many anarchist writers have come to his defense after his attacks proving he was not alone in his beliefs and there is an obvious support for the nonsense he believes in. This is something which forms part of the support base. People don't just wake up one day and start blowing things up because they want to. This is something that is fostered and allowed to grow through many different ways.

In respect to the D.C. Snipers, Lee Boy Malvo and John Allen Mohammed both these guys were not only devoted Muslims but modeled themselves after images of people like Bin Laden and thought of themselves as American Mujaheddin. This is basically the same as above only even more developed. These guys frequented Islamic anti-zionist websites. They simply didn't wake up one morning and decided to become Muslims and started hating everything American. No. They found their base and whether or not this base came forward in their support for them, they knew they weren't alone in their way of thinking. This is all part of the analogy I've been trying to explain to you. Seriously, if you knew anything about terrorism this would be kid's work for you.
Do you not see the absurdity? So broadly defined, can you name a single person on the planet that doesn't have a "support base?"

Sorry, that's my last post on the topic.

No. I'm speaking specifically on terrorism. It doesn't happen without there being people there who support it regardless of how many people want to blow themselves up. It simply doesn't.

Yo! Mr. "Your reading comprehension is obviously lacking" please reread post 372 -- that whole thing was started by Glinda, and i'm not going to get pulled into another side thread on a side thread started by you.

This is what I'm addressing :

Right wing terrorist = go to town hall and speak your mind

Left wing terrorist (the kind Obama supports) = bomb government buildings, plan to bomb a bunch of policemen but instead blow yourselves up because you smoked too much weed. Go into hiding for years, get out on a technicality, then become a professor and stomp on your flag for a photo op.

Have any other battles you would like to lose?
 
CaptainCourtesy,

It's clear from your constant attacks on me that I've hit a nerve. I do have an acerbic posting style and do not back down from a fight, but assure you no harm was intended. I sometimes go too far in assuming that everyone's skin is as thick as mine.

I'd like to continue our debate, but in my own interest have decided to refrain from further discussion with you until things cool down.

Taylor

Trust me. You hit no nerve. Your acerbic posting style is not an issue. Your lack of logic with your arguments and your inability to admit you are wrong is the issue, only in the sense that it reflect poorly on how you are presenting yourself. Plenty of folks around here are acerbic. When you mix lack of reason with that acidity, that's where the problems surface.
 
As usual, TD, you never seem to understand satire. I was satirizing YOUR silly post. You taking it seriously is so...humiliating for you. :2razz:

Oh yes of course it was just satire coming from you. Meanwhile the DP gangs all here to trash a poster into the basement. How typical, how expected and what is a DP gangup without you here with the rest, acting like the wise father; silly Taylor, don't you know, we are always right, you cannot possibly be right and we shall teach good debate style because we are above the "hyper partisan" (Lions and tigers and bears oh my) nonsense the lesser people always engage in.

Good lord, I need freaking hip waders it is getting so deep in here. The cutest part is Coronado and Dr Patrick thanking you; so lemming like don't you think.

Carry on; I look forward to more of your lectures on how to behave in the DP forum so that the brown noser crowd wont dogpile on you and blather a thread with abject nonsense. :rofl

If this is your attempt at satire, it needs work. It sounds too much like how you usually post. ;)
 
Trust me. You hit no nerve. Your acerbic posting style is not an issue.
That post (mine -> the one you're referring to) was completely off base and written from false assumptions. I hereby retract and toss into the nearest incinerator.

Public retractions are always good things. They give credibility. Good job. :)

If I start thanking you will you stop whining?

How exactly was it a gang up? People were asking her legitimate questions about her original post.

Awww...are you sad that we didn't thank you as well? Just so you won't feel left out I'll thank a post of yours, okay TD?

Carry on; I look forward to more of your lectures on how to behave in the DP forum so that the brown noser crowd wont dogpile on you and blather a thread with abject nonsense. :rofl

If you are so disgusted with this place why do you even post here?

Thank you for being civil and having accountability. :thumbs:

Not many people are and it is a very admirable trait.

I think larry Kilgore is a pretty cool guy. He kills gays and doesn't afraid of anyhting.

:rofl in all seriousness though, I think texas has a right to secede and would have no problem with it. With the way the federal government is, I prefer my state government over the feds, my SG(state government) has proven to be more trustworthy. ^_^
 
That was my theory as well. I thanked his post so maybe he won't feel as left out.
I just did too. I didn't realize we were hurting his feelings! How inconsiderate of us!

We went over this Texans. You guys lost.

Is that right? My impression was that primitivists like John Zerzan expressed limited support for him, but that most anarchists disavowed both his ideology and methods. Considering that Noam Chomsky was on his bomb list, I don't imagine that he had many positive sentiments toward conventional anarchism either.
 
Any other takers for the Catz interpretation of this fallacy???

Well you asked -

Actually I think that this is a hasty generalization, rather than a fallacy of composition. Though it is still a logical fallacy.

You said

Is this the liberals? I know that they don't like america as much as regular people.

I guess this could be your opinion but do none of your liberal friends like the United States as much as you do? Assuming you consider yourself a "regular person".
 
This entire thing with with tea bagers, birthers, Birchers, Palinists, separatists, and general all around A-hole -ness has gotten out of control. Are we seeing the fringe of the tail fringe wagging the dog here ?
