Bull. I don't give a crap what Bush personally said, it wasn't a war driven by religion no matter how many times you screech it for the purposes of this argument. Elsewhere I saw you argue it was about oil, another of your arguments claimed revenge for Bush's father. You just keep tossing crap against that hopefully sticky wall, don't you?

The were defending themselves from Muslim rebels. From your reference:

"The mostly Christian or animist "anti-balaka" militia took up arms in 2013 in response to months of looting and killing by mostly Muslim Seleka rebels who had toppled President Francois Bozize and seized power in March the same year."

With whatever Christian tie in you could ever make here (and there are some, in my opinion), these events happened decades ago, at the least. What's so bad about looking at today for you?

It's not merely a matter of what someone "backs" (or what *you* claim someone "backs"), it's a matter of the system of justice in place NOW, the culture as it is NOW, etc.

Given that there won't be a "join together" jamboree any time soon, I think it makes more sense to hold people accountable for their actions today. If they want to argue that today's actions are in response to yesterday's, let them take that up with the courts.

Strange that you ask that, being it's exactly what you are doing.

Just because conservatives recognize that a particular religion is an
insane, violent cult, that doesn't make them racist.  Just because
conservatives value the cultural norms that have been in place in
the US for most of its existence doesn't make them racist.  It just
comes down to some people know how to behave themselves in civilized
society and some don't.  You can't go around cutting people's heads
off, and you can't go around robbing liquor stores and playing the
'knockout game'.  Oh, and pull your pants up and stop cussing in
public.

You can wrestle with your generalizations as much as you want, I have no

How does a group being worthy of blame and rebuke cause them to be
inferior, pray tell? It's not an inconsistency, you're just baiting me
into saying something other than what I said.

You can't talk politics with a guy who is unable to comprehend why 
someone might have different ideas on how to solve a problem, and 
instead labels everyone who thinks different as liars, dangerous, 
and clearly racist. Maybe he doesn't really understand what 
both parties stand for. I vote democrat more often than not, but I 
don't hate republicans or think they're racist or dangerous or 
whatever hate he spews. He is crying about generalizations, then 
generalizes.

So because some anonymous conservatives in this group hate blacks and
Muslims, it means that all conservatives are that way? You seem to be
against generalizations yet make them all the time. For my part, I like
black people. They're generally friendlier and more accepting of me than
everyone else and get along with Muslims quite well. The fact that I
can't stand the refugees and believe that they don't deserve any kind of
shelter in Europe doesn't make me a bigot, it makes me logical
considering we've all seen what those same refugees are doing TO the
countries which are accepting them. As for blacks, it's not racist to
point out that there seems to be a glorification of stupidity, laziness,
aggression and a welfare culture for a large proportion of them in the
United States. It's simply reality.

One day, you might grow out of your leftist mental illness.

Nope. And I have been very clear that it is not all conservatives. But it is
common in the conservative movement to seek special entitlements for whites
and Christians and males and the rich and to put down others, seeking to
limit the rights of women and the poor and non-Christians and the like.

> You seem to be against generalizations yet make them all the time.

Remember: I noted specifically that it is not all conservatives.

What are these people supposed to do? They are living in a war torn area of
the world where they have little chance to have decent lives.

The left tends to focus on the external factors, the right on the internal.
Both have to be understood.

> One day, you might grow out of your leftist mental illness.

And here you are saying my support of what is a "mental illness" - equal
rights? Personal responsibility? Those are the things I promote - and the
things which make me "liberal". Conservatives tend to fight against such
things and seek special entitlements for rich, white, male Christians (or
whatever religion they happen to be, conservative Muslims generally want
special entitlements for Muslims for example).

Not having or agreeing with a conservative approach is one thing, 
but you don't even seem to know what conservatism is.

Nor what "A *truly* presidential response" is, as opposed to a politician's response... or some fool (Snit) who is pushing for his candidate to be elected by alleging that an expected political ploy is "A *truly* presidential response".

So what? You actually wrote something that is far worse than such a generalization. When he wrote:

"Conservatism is not racism."

You replied with: 

"True... but the Republican party in the US clearly caters to racism and other forms of bigotry, and does so much more than the Democrats." 

You were asked to support that and, thus far, your responses don't pass the laugh test.

Who cares about a generalized statement regarding "all conservatives" that you may have made, or not? Focusing on that is just you trying to back-peddle away from your more specific and damaging claim to the Republican party. The adult thing to do would be to either support your statement or retract it.

Since the Republican party seems to have had its control seized by the 
teabaggers, he may be more right than wrong.

So is it your contention that the teabaggers _aren't_ running the 
Republican party?

Or to put it another way:  how can you differentiate between how the 
Republican party has been acting from one controlled by the teabaggers?

And he might not be... and neither of our statements address the fact that he didn't support his statement.

WTF? It's obviously my contention that Snit has not produced evidence for his claim. I contend that he either should do so or he should retract that claim. Specifically, what's your issue with my position (as opposed to the one you're trying to create on my behalf)?

> Or to put it another way:  how can you differentiate between how the

Ah, the old 'two wrongs make a right' bit ;)

Not biting'. The asking of questions doesn't relieve Snit of the burden of proving his claim. You seem to believe what he believes, you're free to support that claim. It's not like you couldn't have done so here if what you're arguing is so "clearly" true, right? I await the supporting evidence that the entire Republican party "clearly caters to racism and other forms of bigotry".

p.s. I highly  suggest you don't hand me any crap about my use of the word "entire" here... Snit just tried to hypocritically pull this stunt on Slimer so he's going to die by this sword (and take you with him).

Unstated was the fact that s*it's claim is common knowledge.

Asking someone to support something that is common knowledge is generally 
regarded as a dick move.

If it's common knowledge, he doesn't have to.

All I can see here is an attempt to get people to jump through your hoops.

I don't do hoops.

For anyone who has read and understood what I wrote, this is a clear non 
sequitur.  I suggest looking again at what I wrote.

It's common knowledge that the tea party has taken over the republican 
party.  My question to you was this:  if you think this hasn't happened, 
what actions by the republican party can you point to that back your 
supposition?


> Not biting'.

There's nothing to bite.

There is no "burden" for stating common knowledge.

There seems to be some sort of misunderstanding.

You are claiming that someone is "burdened" to provide "proof" for 
something that is common knowledge.  I pointed out how the claim turns 
out to be the case -- and ask you to show otherwise, if you disagree.  
You came back with some kind of misunderstanding about burdens of proof 
for common knowledge.  In my zeal to get to the point of my "differential 
analysis", I left out the part about this being common knowledge, and 
that was my error.

I look forward to your examples of actions by the republican party that 
buck the common knowledge idea that it has been taken over by the poorly-
named "tea party".
