This Patriotic American Adheres to the BIG Five....C's

Without qualification my avatar is offensive? LOL! Wow, I'm not even going to ask why you never possessed a sense of humor.

 

Well you waved that white flag pretty quickly.

 

LOL! If my screen name was "TrumpHater", would you see any humor in this?

 

He wasn't referring to my screen name, he was referring to my avatar. I can understand that you or any other lefty wouldn't find humor in my avatar that beautifully depicts just how Trump had to deal with immature babies.

 

Waving that white flag? Is that some kind of racist remark?

 

Yes, and next time someone uses the N word to a black person, ask him or her why they don't have a sense of humor.

Your comment is similar.

 

So touchy-feely! Black comedians and others use the N word on themselves all the time, but its somehow a verbal crime for a white to use the same word? So my comment that Trump has to deal with those two immature babies in my avatar is similar to a white person using the N word? Wow!

 

My avy is my deceased dog. This does not make me him

 

LOL! This entire nonsense of these lefties trying to make something sinister out of a fully explained use of my moniker and avatar makes for an amusing side show by taking attention off of the the original OP content. But I'm not going to report any of these off subject responses because I do have a great sense of humor, and I love to be entertained. By the way, great post FatBack and right on the mark.

 

All mortals are sinners, and I am no different in that I do sin. One of my most profound Christian attributes is that I 'HATE' no one. So sure, I'm a fighter, and being so gives me the necessity to bash liberals any chance I get when I disagree with them on various issues. I will especially bash a liberal when they first bash me or my political-Christian beliefs. I will never lay down by allowing anti American socialism to run roughshod over our nation.

 

Then it is obvious he should include condescension in his list.

 

"Spinning"?

 

I suspect that he just despises Trump's opposition which would include many "conservatives".
Many liberals support Trump. Trump is a liberal.

 

Characterizing oneself as 'compassionate' and simultaneously defining oneself as a 'hater', whatever the intent was, given the offensive of the avatar, in my view, is hypocritical given that people who are compassionate, as a rule, are not haters.

Now, @Libhater said the 'hate' part of his avatar was not meant to be hatred of liberals. only liberalism. Fine, but I could rationalize using the N word to a black person all day long, perhaps I was quoting someone who used the term, but, it's still going to be offensive to most black people. Similarly, i asked libhater to change his avatar because, despite his qualification of his avatar, it's still offensive to liberals, noting that many liberals will not have read his post that does qualify it, not that he cares.

Until then, it's rather hypocritical because for a truly compassionate person, using the word 'hate' as a avatar, no matter what the rationalization is, it's just something that wouldn't have occurred to him or her. So, @Libhater, take note.

 

If this name was created for the sole purpose of triggering folks on the left, you are making it really easy for him. Just saying. maybe stop taking the bait?

 

That's a legitimate point, but irrelevant to my point. It's a subject for another thread. In the meantime, note that, as a jazz musician, I'm working with blacks all the time, and the subject has come up, and I'm told that many blacks are not comfortable with other blacks using the term, either.

No, your rationalization for your using your 'libhater' is similar. To me, anyway. Blacks have been using the N word for along time, and other blacks have been offended by it a long time and you have used your avatar for a long time. All it proves is there are many people who are quietly offended but are not inclined to complain. However, a courteous person would acknowlege, and apologize, and change their behavior given that they are 'compassionate', which means they are the kind of person who cares, noting that to a truly compassionate person, the very idea defining oneself as a hater of any kind, well, to a truly compassionate person its not something that would have even occurred.

You call your self 'compassionate', and there you sit, rationalizing your use of an offensive avatar.

I'd say I'm correct and calling that hypocritical. No, that doesn't mean you are a hypocritical in the full blown sense, but, on that particular point, in my view, you are.

Now, if someone accuses me of being offensive, I am open to such criticism. But, note, there are some things that no one has to right to be offended by, in my opinion, such as innocent nudity. Some people are offended by that, but since that is how we were created by nature, or God ( or whatever one's belief is ) then I don't see how anyone has the right to be offended. So, I'm talking about offensiveness where one has the right to be offended by it.

Moreover, there is the argument about aggressive 'PC' that Americans are overdoing it. Bill Maher mkes this point and it is a valid point. It depends on the circumstance. I think comedians, it's in their purview to be offensive, as long as it's not egregious. In general conversation, must we always go about walking on eggshells, wondering whether every little thing we say is offensive to someone? No, not saying that at all. But, if you say something, and someone taps you on the shoulder, politely, and indicates that what you just said was offensive to a group of people, a compassionate person would consider, be concerned with, and care about it, and perhaps apologize and modify one's behavior, that's all I'm saying. Now, that's my opinion and you have it and I'm not going to comment any further on it.

 

LOL....and I'm really a deplorable White Supremacist.

 

Nope.

 

Christianity isn't in the Constitution. Freedom of religion is.

 

However the two are not antithetical. One can be a constitutionalist and a Christian. There isn't near as much of a problem there as there is with this newest crop of leftists who are almost completely anti constitutional.

 

I appreciate you taking the time to explain just how people can get offended by the use of the most innocent verbiage. Among many such nasty and or non nasty names I've been called are a White Supremacist, a deplorable, a Limey, a racist, a Trump scum supporter et al. I learned long ago not to possess a touch-feely thin-skin when it comes to name calling, whether the name calling was offensive or not.

In this current political environment where we see lefties on the airwaves and in govt positions calling for the death of Trump, mocking him at every chance, calling him and his supporters every evil type name in the book, and having a woman holding a bloody severed head of Trump on TV for all to see, methinks my use of the moniker 'Libhater' is quite mild and certainly less offensive then anything I just presented to you.

 

Irrelevant. The subject is patriotism. Since we have the 1st Amendment, being Christian is no more patriotic than being an atheist. Freedom of religion is patriotic and pro-American. Being a Christian (or an atheist) is merely a choice.

 

One thing I learned a long time ago, is that non-libs have funny ideas about who are, indeed, liberals, and what is, indeed, liberalism.

I assure you, as a card carrying liberal, myself, Trump is no liberal. He's a fascist/populist/nationalist

 

You got two out of three caricatures of Trump correct. He is indeed a populist and a nationalist, but the current
list of fascists only include those on the political left like antifa and those BLM thugs; BLM by the way are led by two self admitted marxists.

 

Why yes...yes I believe that I do.
