Comments for Grumblings From A Grumpy Old Man http://billdunlap.wordpress.com I Never Believed That I Would Look Back at the Nixon Years as the Good Old Days Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:55:08 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on A Penny For The Guy? by billdunlap http://billdunlap.wordpress.com/2008/11/09/a-penny-for-the-guy/#comment-528 billdunlap Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:55:08 +0000 http://billdunlap.wordpress.com/?p=451#comment-528 So, Bob, what do you call an imbecile who says that I am ignorant and stupid for actually reading the constitution and then follows it up with a quote from the Declaration of Independence, and says that it's the constitution? I call them asshats. You can call them anything you want. It's still a free country until the libertarians finish selling us out to the corporations. You do have a point about wikipedia. I have several blogs on hold because the wikipedia articles are nothing except propaganda. To give Wikipedia credit, they always respond quickly when I point out inaccuracies and or propaganda in one of their articles. Still, I am not going to post a link until I am 200% certain of its accuracy. On the bright side, Brittanica has a very good website that I am looking at now. If it pans out, I will switch to that.

You don't seem like an grumpy old man to me, more like a person trying to fit into a society because you have a low self esteem? you can't find bigger words to describe your feelings for all of the other opposing parties that you don't believe or agree with other than asshat. Peace. Then maybe you should get off Wikipedia, an open source website that anybody and anyone can edit? and what is it with the name calling, isn’t that something that a child resorts to?

I should link to more reliable sources of information. I wish I could. The problem is that it is very hard to do on the internet where there are no standards of truth or reliability. A PR weasel can enter a false history article much more easily than a PH.D. in history. The PR weasel will get paid for it. The PH.D will not. The PR weasel can manipulate the search engines so that his article comes first. So to find a truly reliable article on any branch of history, you have to slog through pages and pages of absolute garbage. Matymas,

I noticed that you usally answer by refrazing history. I mean, let`s say you get one question, and answer that by telling all the history you know. But as it is my first view at your post, you have no autority in history field for me. I dunno, just think you should more link to other more reliable source of information, raver then refrazing it yourself. That should not be confused with your opinion on a historic event. If something was interesting for me, I intended to check it outside classroom, even if you`re any kind of teacher. but all the conversation about vendetas mask and Guy Fawkes connection, that has been here around, i think it`ll do for me. just my 1 cent.

Have you actually read the constitution? I know for a fact that you haven't. If you had you would have known that the document you are quoting is the Declaration of Independence. http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm Asking a libertarian if he actually read the constitution is like asking a Southern Baptist if he read the Bible. Of course you wouldn't be a libertarian if you actually read the Constitution. The original Constitution refused to regulate African Slavery. It took no less than three amendments to eliminate slavery in the US. The last one was signed in the 1960s. It also took a Constitutional Amendment to grant women the vote. If you actually read the Constitution, you wouldn't be a libertarian asshat. If you read the Constitution you would know that regulating businesses and taxation are perfectly legal. They even wrote tariffs into the document. As a whole, the Constitution is a very vague document that gives a lot of latitude on its interpretation. Here is a link to the actual Constitution. http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html Please read the whole thing and not just the parts you like. Hey, asshat? Have you actually read the constitution?

All you do is prove how ignorant and stupid you are when you make false claims about important things. If we ran everything exactly how the Constitution says it wouldn't be perfect but we'd be a hell of a lot better off than we are today. Then figure out what needs fixing.
