I know YOU kept backing down to my arguments because you couldn't argue with them. I notice that your post above countered absolutely none of my points. That seems to be a trend with you. You should be proud.



I do have opinions, and one of them is that at least your views on 9/11 and the Iraq war are leftist. When I debate this stuff, my initial goal is not to say, "Ha ha, I'm right!" I get that way when I am insulted because shit talk becomes part of the game, but not by my initiation. My original goal is to say, "This is how I see it. I want to learn why you think it is wrong." I think angry behavior is unpeaceful, so let's both try to keep it out of our conversation.
Well they are not, because I don't understand where simply trying to get an overall grasp of all sides of the story and all motives and responses and history my peon mind can comprehend on such a complex matter is automatically leftist. I already told you I am a conservative, but even that would give you assumptions about what I think and believe. I am a conservative in the literal meaning of the word. Going to war isn't conservative and the things that lead to 9/11 weren't conservative, and neither was our response that lead us into the wars in the first place. I am defending the innocence of the American people (you tend to think I am blaming them, which I am sorry to say is exactly what fox news says about anyone who says 9/11 was a result of our foreign policy), I am advocating our freedom and democracy and I am most of all trying to make the most logical decisions on what truly will prevent the next attack from extremist groups and make this nation safer and more sovereign. But you can keep calling me a leftist, but that just isn't the case. I see leftists as complainers who fail to come up with any better idea. I have better ideas and Ron Paul fits many of those, that is why I support Ron Paul, not because I am some tree-hugger-hippie-leftist-liberal.
