you didn't win diddly. You lovingly claimed the ottoman empire as a peace entity to prove

your point, and I disagreed with your contention over the ottoman empire. Just because

you were wrong, doesn't mean you have to whine about it forever. You are coming off

like "I'm a Muslim so I get to be the boss of truth" around here. I could post a lot more

links to prove the ottoman empire was terrible. You want me to, or not?

That's how debating works. Google a few key phrases, post the search results, and you win the debate.

In Cal's cartoon world, when he is a debater he is also a debate judge. I knew I won the argument and any objective observer would see that. I proved that to myself and don't really need to prove it to him. I will debate with anyone reasonable and I will agree to disagree or concede when I am wrong about something (just ask WSS or Cysko). Cal has a need to always get the last word in and so debates with him are never-ending. I decided it's a waste of time so that's why I suspended my interactions with him.

You posted a bunch of stuff hoping something would stick to the wall. Os went through pretty much everything and if not disproved at least disputed it. You really need to revisit your definition of proof because it seems everyone is in agreement you proved nothing.

sounds like the liberal hyenas are in a pack. That's what they do when they suck and they

get mad.

You didn't read the stuff I posted...liberals love ignorance, they get to be happy with

their asswholish false narratives.

The rest of us will be REAL AMERICANS. You slugs are little George Soros mini-me's.

to grow up a bit and admit he was wrong, and that's putting it as nice

as I can.

I'm still saying, as stubborn as gipper.

after I scored a knockout, you want to give the fight to the guy on the floor?

Hahahaha

par for the course, shows up to bash Trump.

the biggest problem, is that he is po'd I bashed his wonderful little ottoman empire.

sorry to dash his fantasies, but I clearly gave him reason to see that

he was wrong, but he bailed and ran because his ottoman empire was not

what he said.

To have lost something implies he once had it. Not so sure about that!

Aww, poor sweet Cal is trafficking in those alternative facts again.

Someone better get his blankie, he's about to start getting emotional again.

No idea what he's saying since I don't see his posts anymore, but I bet it has something to do with me. Very amusing how he can just let it go.

good thing you aren't one of those referees, I'd send you to the floor with him.

of course, I wouldn't be a fighter in the first place, seems terribly self-destructive.

What are you going on about?

smoking dope or what?

terrorists.

he wasn't. Trump's wall will have doors, too. but terrorists won't be let in.

Sorry if that disappoints you and Os.

like you asswipes electing a racist, lying, marxist asswipe president, we put up

with his garbage for eight years, and then you asswipes go enraged and

revolutionary when we paid you back with Trump, to fix what your "president"

was trying to destroy.

I do, Taco, and your interpretation of it is surely warped in liberal-flippity flippity.

Assumed you'd say that and as such, I prepared. Let me give you my two favorite snippets. Well I had two, Osiris snagged my first one.

"And that's about all I have to say tonight, except for one thing. The past few days when I've been at that window upstairs, I've thought a bit of the 'shining city upon a hill.' The phrase comes from John Winthrop, who wrote it to describe the America he imagined. What he imagined was important because he was an early Pilgrim, an early freedom man. He journeyed here on what today we'd call a little wooden boat; and like the other Pilgrims, he was looking for a home that would be free. I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still."

@taco918 said:

Aww poor sweet Cal. It's you who doesn't believe in good things. All you can see are scary things.

Let me ask you, do you remember Reagan's farewell speech? If not, and it's highly, highly unlikely that you do, I'd suggest you give it a read if only to see what a true conservative American believes.

Well, that is unless Reagan is a liberal now because he doesn't fit you and diehard's extremeist narrative.

This seems topical:

"I've been reflecting on what the past 8 years have meant and mean. And the image that comes to mind like a refrain is a nautical one—a small story about a big ship, and a refugee, and a sailor. It was back in the early eighties, at the height of the boat people. And the sailor was hard at work on the carrier Midway, which was patrolling the South China Sea. The sailor, like most American servicemen, was young, smart, and fiercely observant. The crew spied on the horizon a leaky little boat. And crammed inside were refugees from Indochina hoping to get to America. The Midway sent a small launch to bring them to the ship and safety. As the refugees made their way through the choppy seas, one spied the sailor on deck, and stood up, and called out to him. He yelled, "Hello, American sailor. Hello, freedom man."

A small moment with a big meaning, a moment the sailor, who wrote it in a letter, couldn't get out of his mind. And, when I saw it, neither could I. Because that's what it was to be an American in the 1980's. We stood, again, for freedom. I know we always have, but in the past few years the world again—and in a way, we ourselves—rediscovered it.
