Nope, you are not blocked. I did have you blocked after our last dust up, but I have since unblocked you, since you are at least capable of being civil and reasonable at times. Also, I did not call you an asswipe.
Now, how about answering some of my questions?
Keenan, I am kinda like Opus, a bit more rightwing than he is but I think that he processes things much in the same way that I do. What I see is that given your background, your experience, the news you consume, the books you have read, and events that shaped your life you see things from an entirely different perspective than I do, that I can accept, just like I can accept it with Bazbo, Peter, Twardlow and others here. You post many things that I disagree with strongly, things that I do not believe are based fully in fact, this I don't blame on you, I blame it on ideology that shapes your perspective, and on the source of your information, as just as Fox shapes much of its news, the left is absolutely just as effective if not more effective in shaping the news that you consume. Because of this I do not insist on calling you a liar, I do not insist on claiming that you twist and deflect... I try to present my side and my point of view and at times will source what facts I can, but I don't make our disagreements personal up and until the point that I get really frustrated and call you an asshole or some such insult, but it is rare that I question your integrity or motive as you do with me and many others here on the site, because I know your motive and it is little different than mine, you believe in the principles that you argue for.... For some reason you are unable to give such consideration to those with whom you disagree.
The other thing that you do Keenan is that you will not allow for comparison, you are as partisan as partisan gets, so when talking politics as we do here you have to understand that when you attack a conservative position, or personality, that comparisons not only will be made about liberal positions or personalities, but it is completely fair to do so.
As far as your questions go Keenan, yes it is childish that your picture is posted over and over again, it is wrong that people attack using gay slurs, but that is seen here on both sides, and sometimes, like "dick in boca" it has nothing to do with sexuality, I just see that guy that way, other than that you don't see me say much along those lines, generally I just call people assholes, crazy, or give them an FU.
