It's up to you to correct it.I corrected it for the record so others can read, follow our exchanges and decide for themselves. As far as correcting it for you, it doesn't seem like it's going to matter to you anyway. I don't take kindly to those who insult others by using the term racist to describe them or their feelings. I've spent years ignoring insults and cutting through baseless insults coming from progressives who aren't around here anymore. I still have one of them left. Any guess who it is? Bob's smart, Bob knows who is left here and Bob knows who is most likely going to win the battle of male ego's/personalities here. Bob used me to send you a message about his view of extreme partisans here. Did you get his message about his rejection of extreme partisans that's are often associated with him? Well, you're basically on your own with some support from people like Odin if they're foolish enough to join in.
Conservatives are good at denial. Look at how many deny anthrogenetic climate change.
Bob is no more qualified than you to judge me or label me. Everyone is free to say what they please about me, or not. I don't think you corrected your view; others can judge for themselves. If you are against welfare and social programs because they steal your tax money to help poor people of color, then that's racist. If you are against welfare and social programs because they steal your tax money to help poor people period, then I still disagree, but I would just call you a libertarian conservative. It's your choice in how you express your views.
Lets see, you're qualified to judge us and label us as you please but we are not qualified to do the same with you. Did someone/something/some group make you a king/emperor/tyrant or something? What makes you think/believe that you're special that you feel immune to judgement and receiving labels? Man, what an ego that you must have???????? A glorified super ego of some sort. My ego should be shaking in it's boots and freaking out over its greater size.
Well, it should
Seriously, I would put it that I am characterizing your views, based just on what you say, rather than labeling you per se. Maybe that's a distinction you don't agree with, but I think it's significant. So far I haven't seen anything that convinces me that my characterization is wrong, but I wouldn't hesitate to admit it if I am wrong.
Bob chooses to label me as this and that, when he disagrees with me. I wouldn't always entirely disagree with his labels. I am very partisan, but in a specific limited way: I am convinced that today's Republicans have views and policies that I can't agree with, and I hope they will lose elections. I admit I agree with Republicans very rarely indeed. Actually I agree with Trump on a few things. Democrats, on the other hand, are hit and miss; much better than the other side, but I am not a Democrat, and not a partisan Democrat in the sense of always agreeing with them. I don't even always agree with Greens these days. That distinction doesn't seem to carry much weight with Bob or some others.
