Their motive purpose is to pretend and assert that what they want to be is more relevant than what they know (as only a liar can know it - and deny it) to be. <br /><br />Case in point? After this Fri-Sat & Sunday's posts, aninny and potty could only insult and make factually unsupportable claims, but could not make a single argument, could not refute a single point, could not explain one single 'principle' of the left which supported rather than undermined and denied liberty and freedom.<br /><br />The best they can do is repeat what someone else asserted... pathetic.<br /><br />They make feeble attempts at mocking and insulting, make claims up the ying-yang... but explain their positions? Support their arguments?<br /><br />Nope. Nothing there. And they know it. It burns.<br /><br />So... there only other option, pretend that it didn't happen, and move onto the next insult and ride it until they can't avoid explaining themselves again... and then... ignore that and move on to the next insult.<br /><br />Insult... without ainment.<br /><br />Boring.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-72971266154539822012009-08-17T20:08:36.249-07:002009-08-17T20:08:36.249-07:00>> A little intelligence is a dangerous thin...>> A little intelligence is a dangerous thing.<br /><br />Beware, for fiends in triumph laugh<br />O'er him who learns the truth by half!<br /><br />-- C.
