    Except that's exactly what they were saying, how am I wrong?

    You said ALL the progs are saying "if you belong to the NRA, you're basically a murrrrderer."

    A better way to frame that argument would be to say something like this...

    "Sure. Just remember, if you belong to the NRA, you're basically a murrrrderer. At least some of the progs I have talked to have said that."

    or

    "Sure. Just remember, if you belong to the NRA, you're basically a murrrrderer. At least some of the progs I've encountered here seem to be saying this."

    Neither of those are declarative statements painting ALL the progs with such a broad brush, and doesn't give them the wiggle room to use your own statements against you. They can disagree with those statements all they want, but they can't prove either of those two examples wrong.

    I've never met a progressive liberal that didn't hate the NRA and it's members. Have you?

    That's why I said progressive liberal, instead of just liberal or Democrat.

    It's rare, but I actually know a few personally.

    Yeah... but you used the phrase All the progs, which can be disproven. I know where you're coming from, and I get the frustration dealing with some of these people, but I try not to give them the ability to use my own statements against me whenever possible. I generally try to use words like "some", or "seems", or I ask questions where there is almost no choice but for the person I am arguing against to answer in the affirmative, or negative, depending on the argument. Like when I posed the scenario of them being okay if they themselves were removed from work and questioned without a lawyer present for a harmless tweet. Nobody has touched it, because to answer in the affirmative would destroy their own arguments that they are okay with, or understand, what the authorities did by going after Kashuv.

    And I have to admit, Renee did a good job using my own defensive statements of you against me when you lumped all progressives together after I basically said you haven't done that. You did after I defended you, and she beat me over the head with my defense.

    You learn about a person by who and what he defends. He’s not better than this

    What is the difference between a progressive liberal, and a liberal?

    See this vman. She just did what you did by lumping me in with rightwingers. Can she prove this? No, she can't. She hasn't a clue as to what my positions are on other issues and has made a mistake lumping me in with rightwingers.

    Now observe as I force her to try to prove a false statement.

    So, now I'm a rightwinger, Renee? How so? Prove it. I just gave you credit a minute ago by using my own defense of vman against me. That was actually good.

    Don't ruin it now.

    Actually, I must have missed it. What was the context?

    A progressive liberal wants to use the fascist powers of the state to force compliance on the populace to adapt their mislead ideas of social justice. Communists, more or less.

    A classical liberal would, for example, encourage and petition wealthy groups to donate funds to the poor by setting up private organizations to that end.

    The progressive liberal would just have the government forcibly take the money by fascist means. Higher taxes, confiscations, etc by means of whatever force is necessary.

    This is why progressives hate the 1A. It allows us to question authority. That can't be allowed.

    This is why progressives hate the 2A. It allows us to resist authority. That can't be allowed.

    You see, progressives aren't about gun control. They are simply about making sure the government is heavily armed, and the citizens are defenseless.

    They don't want to ban guns, they just want the state to have a monopoly in the usage of force.

    So... are you saying you are okay with him being taken out of class, placed in a room without his parents or a lawyer present, and then questioned by the school security officer and a Broward County Deputy over a non threatening tweet? Would you want that to happen to one of your students , or yourself?

    I'd like to think he is. I'd like to think many of us can be better.

    And as an aside... do you have any idea how hate filled you come across when you use straw man tactics and hyperbole? Is that deliberate? Are you like this in your classroom in front of students?

    Consequences generally arise out of some activity that can be deemed illegal. Pray tell, exactly what activity was engaged in that could be deemed illegal?

    I have spent a couple years trying to cope with her doing that. It wears me out.

    She's been like this for over a couple of years? Wow.

    She hasn't worn me down yet. Only time will tell I guess.

    Sorry. I was being sarcastic...and teasing you because you said you were a liberal. I should have made that clear.

    Gee that’s amazing since I haven’t been here a couple of years. I haven’t been here a year....I guess all liberals sound alike
    And again, you’re the poor,victim of big bad Renee. Hey may I make a suggestion? Block me and this way you don’t have to cope and I certainly don’t want to be responsible for wearing you out

    I've been called a rightwinger quite a bit just because of my views on guns so it was hard to tell. I consider myself a JFK style of liberal, or classic liberal, which by todays standards is sometimes mistaken for being rightwing by some.

    Refusing any gun controls is a rightwing stand, I am sure JFK would have supported that
