This thread has run its course, time to disengage 

 

 

Thank you. Your ad hominem posts have become tedious and add nothing to this discussion or forum.

Just validates what I knew and have expressed on these forums about how people such as yourself respond to opposing viewpoints.  

 

I don't consider personal attacks on others to be a "viewpoint" but you obviously have a different opinion.

Personally, I don't mind being called a mindless liberal, or a liberal idiot, or a communist because it means nothing to me.  In fact, it gave me some pleasure to start addressing folks on this thread as comrade.  This stuff is just so childish.  

 

 

Yes, labels are meaningless.

 

For example, Wikipedia provides the following definition of Liberalism:

 

Quote

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), democracy, secularism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and a market economy.

 

Based on this definition, I suspect that even our fiery friend would be considered a liberal.

From one of your favorite sites, Wikipedia:

 

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome.

 

If the shoe fits!!  LMAO. How many PMs are you guys involved in on this thread to validate each others "dysfunction". 

 

Audiodoc exposed the dysfunction, albeit, it was obvious without him validating its reality.

Seems you guys label more than any other. It is spawned by the intolerant groupthink mentality you people demonstrate with most posts. 

 

That was the label you applied to yourself.

 

Here is what you said on April 21, 2016:

As a libertarian I endorse whatever it is you want to do and as I said as long as it doesn't effect me and you are willing to accept all responsibilities for your own actions.

Another “copy and paste” groupthinker. Why am I not surprised.
 

Another vision of the anointed assumption you make based on the GROUP THINK mentality.  

 

GROUP THINK isn't always a bad thing...

Just now, Priaptor said:

LMAO.
 

Wait you didn’t just dig up a post of mine from APRIL 2016????  WOW!!!!

 

The amazing thing about you people is you don’t even understand what and who you are. 

 

No, I just put your name and libertarian into the search box. 

 

Why is this so surprising? Are you no longer a libertarian?

 

I don't understand your last sentence.

Hmm, I see a senile fool who was a fool before he was senile, a phony doctor and “group think” mentality that led to his election NOW responsible for record high inflation, a debacle in Afghanistan, record high energy prices, record high pollution, record deficits, record high crime, border crises and of course overseeing and largely responsible for a crime against humanity in Ukraine. Just in one year. LMAO. With the lowest approval rating in the history of polling no matter how distorted those polls currently are. 
 

And as long as we are on the Environmental Thread this guy may have imposed more damaging environmental policies in the last year in his feckless and feeble attempts to go “green” than the last 4 POTUS together.  
 

read my definition of “group think” and the conclusions it leads to. That is where we are. 

 

You may be right.

 

I'm not American but he appears to me to be better than the self-centered, sociopathic, Putin-loving thief, liar and rapist that came before him...

Sorry. I apologize. I didn't realize you were a fan.
