    Kind of funny. A response that begins with, "You are not worth a response".

    Since you are so interested, you may notice that was my last response to him, considering the same status for you since all you usually bring to the table is smarmy and arrogant hate and contempt for others. Giggle giggle...snort.

    And it sounds doubly ridiculous when nobody is saying it, as is the case here.

    I've been reading various achedemic papers on the subject of why conservaties believe what they believe. It keeps coming up time an again, but it seems the aristocracy might be the ultimate culprits. It may be that a certain segment of society has an affinity for the wealthy and powerful. An affinity that may cause some to see the wealthy and powerful as better than they really are. Which makes it easy for such individuals to be, not only easily be manipulated, but also to be blinded to the shortcomings of certain leaders.

    Apparently this affinity can become so strong, that any evidence of guilt is dismissed. Even if the leader says things, those with a strong affinity knows is wrong, they will agree with the leader. Apparently such a leader could shoot someone dead on Fifth Avenue, and those with the affinity, would think nothing of it. Might even increase the intensity of the affinity.

    Luckily for society, there is a healthy portion who have no such affinity for the aristocracy.

    Yes Bill Clinton paid Paula Jones almost a million dollars in a civil court for a rape case.


    It's old news why rehash it?

    Is these the same academy who decided it was proper to use a minor child as a joke in a Congressional hearing? I would be embarrassed to use them as reference.

    You do realize, you can also find "academic" papers that say similar things about liberals? Don't place to much stock in your confirmation bias and remember not to think to highly of yourself or look to far down your righteous nose at others you imagine to be "beneath you". One day, the shoe will be on the other foot. A little humbleness benefits a man. You would do well, to remember that. But i doubt you will read my words with anything other than your usual, partisan arrogance, so carry on.

    Oh well, not my burden. I realize that no matter what my opinion is, I'm not anymore "right" than any other. It is, an opinion, after all.

    Humbleness is so simple, yet so hard to learn. It is hard to know it all and be "better" than your fellow man.

    But it kind of is, they want to rule over us and demand total surrender to there ridiculous games and laws, that's another reason why Trump won.

    I have learned one thing, it's exceedingly hard to play GOD. Glad i'm not the one trying to do so. I've seen more than a few come and go, who thought they were "qualified" to do just that. Like I said, "it's hard to know everything". watch them scoff in derision...

    To puff your righteous chest out and declare "I know what is best for my fellow man, therefore I shall drag him along, kicking and screaming to my will" is even worse than playing GOD.

    GOD gives man free will. Using that free will to play "god" over your fellow man, is pure evil.

    Let the "righteous" among us, take note.

    The defense will be: partisan impeachment doesnt matter. We already know you don't like Trump. Now you've spent millions of dollars and 3 years of time making it official that you don't like Trump. *Golf clap.*

    Exactly yet it appears some people do, if you read them they want to try to intellectually post how superior they are and end it with childish barbs that has nothing to do with the subject at hand

    Silent majority, if the dems cant scrounge around in the Chicago phone book to find another well spoken black guy... yup they are going to lose again

    I have to think they can vote to Impeach and send it to the Senate for any reason or no reason. And then in unison, the Senate can moon the House.
    I think TC misses the biggest "defense": nothing happened worthy of undoing an election.
    The irony in all this? He's accused of abusing power to help in 2020's election. There's plenty of evidence showing that is what the Democratic party is doing with the entire hoax. EDIT:
    Yup. The entire Impeachment hoax is the abuse of power by the Democratic party to harm Trump's election chances in 2020.

    And they dont even "get" it destroys the image of the pseudo "intellectual" they attempt to portray. It has come to my attention that some even post the same, long bloviations, in up to six threads in a moments time, multiple times a day. Straight copy and paste, the same exact thing, across the board.

    Personally speaking, I may not often post the most "profound" of posts, but I'd be embarrassed to do that. I always post my original thoughts. Like here, for instance.

    As a conservative myself, I read this condescension as dispassionately as I could, and will tell you that you and your leftist scholars are half right. We conservatives do indeed support the realities that lead to stratification, if not the stratification itself.

    The reality is that we are not all equal in terms of our abilities, intelligence, energies, characters, and contributions. This is why we support the notion of classes. What you call "aristocrats" are at the top. Some were born into aristocracy, and are undeserving of its advantages. In the USA, my observation is that those people don't stay at the top without working hard. This is why family fortunes are often dissipated within 3 generations.

    The alternative to our elitism is radical egalitarianism which, since it is never really supported by the masses, is enforced from above by a Stalin or a Mao.
