If you had any real arguments to make, you would have done that instead of whining.

PeopleUnited says

1. You weren't the one invited.
2. I don't give a shit.
3. There is no censorship. You are just whining.

It's called an oxymoron. It's a common literary mechanic. In this case implying that although a thread is recent, it's an instant classic. And yes, that's self-promotion, but guess what, you are exposed to such promotions hundreds of times a day.

errc says

Straw man argument. I've only banned people for being trolls (like you) or for constant repeating of debunked lies.

I've also always followed the policy of allowing such people to be unbanned if they choose to change their ways. You have to choose to continue acting like a child to be kept on the ban. But of course, few such immature people are even capable of changing.

PeopleUnited says

These people are the democrat party. Arguing that the Republicans are evil while ignoring that the other party is dominated by evil people is pointless.

None of the Democrats you sited are nearly as evil as ANY of the current leaders of the Republican Party, the leaders of the GOP from 10 or 20 years ago, or the Trump administration. Not even Hillary Clinton.

Furthermore, the policies of the Republican Party are far more evil than anything that has come out of the Democratic Party since the two parties switched roles.

Finally, the overall vileness of Republican voters is far greater than the overall vileness of Democratic voters. Anyone who is for torture and raping prisoners, many of which are innocent, is almost certainly a Republican. Your party is the party of evil, plain and simple. And if Christianity didn't make you so morally bankrupted, you'd admit this.

Really? It's called an oxymoron? Well bless my soul the things you learn on patnet every day from such really smart people. If I hadn't learned about oxymoron in 1967 or so I would be super impressed.

Websters says oxymoron is :a combination of words that have opposite or very different meanings

Just like I said.

Dan8267 says

Since you are the undisputed champion of self promotion I defer to your far superior personal knowledge of the subject.

That is like saying Stalin is not as evil as Hitler because of your own person bias. It is absurd. Both parties are full of lying, sold out, warmongering cronies. Stalin is just as evil as Hitler, and Democrats are just as evil as republicans.

PeopleUnited says

That is like saying Stalin is not as evil as Hitler because of your own person bias.

Another lie. It's saying that Stalin was evil because he was power hungry. Sure Hitler was power hungry as well, but the Holocaust was absolutely religiously motivated just like 9/11 was. Stalin killing his political rivals was not motivated by atheism.

You are whitewashing history and making straw man arguments. You are a pathological liar.

PeopleUnited says

Voting for the act that made torture U.S. policy.

This is just more proof of the FACT that democrats are just as evil if not more so than republicans. The Democrats are bought and paid for just like the republicans. So they take turns voting for the policies that their overlords tell them to. In the end EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT might as well have voted for it because enough of them did that it iNSURED PASSAGE of this law you demonize. You don't like it? THANK THE DEMOCRATS GENIUS!!! It wouldn't have passed without them. Eat that for supper.

No Dan, you are lying by claiming that Hitler is worse that Stalin. That is simply your flawed opinion.

Stalin is responsible for the murder of at least twice as many people as Hitler. His motivation for killing them by defining them as political rivals is the EXACT same thing Hitler did. Hitler knew the Jews would never join his ranks, and therefore he saw them as enemies. The are both murderous dictators and equally foul stains on humanity. Your attempts to portray one as worse than the other is your whitewashing of history. You are the most prodigious pathological liar on this site. The most amazing part is that you believe your lies.

PeopleUnited says

No Dan, you are lying by claiming that Hitler is worse that Stalin.

I never made such claim. Are you incapable of being truthful?

You are lying by claiming that religion was not the prime factor in the Holocaust of the Jews. This is a grotesque lie that whitewashes history.

PeopleUnited says

You are the most prodigious pathological liar on this site. The most amazing part is that you believe your lies.

Oh, I get it. Whenever I point out and debunk your lies, you take whatever I say about you and without evidence accuse me of it. I think that's the "I'm rubber and your glue" defense. Didn't O.J. use that defense? I didn't murder my wife. You did. I'm out of order? This whole court is out of order!

Talking to you is like talking to a petulant child.

Dan8267 says

You would have to define what you mean in order the have a rational conversation about this.
Hitler killed people because of his religion? or Jews were killed because of their religion? What are you saying?

Also: So we are clear, Hitler is just as evil as Stalin in Dan's world?

Dan8267 says

Arguing that the other team is not flawless does not excuse the atrocities of your team.

Arguing that in your opinion the other team has more supporters of atrocity does not change the fact that the atrocity could not have occurred without the EXPRESS COOPERATION of your team.

PeopleUnited says

Also: So we are clear, Hitler is just as evil as Stalin in Dan's world?

I don't have precise measurements of the evilness of individuals, nor is there even any unit to measure it by.

What I can say is that both have done great evils, but only one was motivated by religion and the other was motivated solely by political power. That's the difference. Stalin did not kill people because of atheist beliefs. Hitler did kill Jews because of his religious beliefs just like ISIS members kills people because of their religious beliefs. To deny this is a lie.

PeopleUnited says

Arguing that in your opinion the other team has more supporters of atrocity does not change the fact that the atrocity could not have occurred without the EXPRESS COOPERATION of your team.

That's not what I'm arguing. I'm arguing that in a two party system where everyone in one party is in favor of committing atrocities and half the members of the other party oppose those atrocities, the second party is the wiser and more moral choice. If forced between choosing between two evils, always choose the lesser of the two evils.

Also, the team did not cooperate. Half the team cooperates, and that half are cowards, but the other half opposed. Meanwhile, your team orchestrated the entire atrocity. So, no, you don't get to claim any moral high ground or that it's a wash.

They both put work into their responses and conscientiously restrain themselves from gratuitous urges to be VINDICTIVE, PETTY, CONDESCENDING AND DISHONEST.

bullshit. They are the most uncivil posters on Patnet. My guess is that between them they have more uncivil flags than you and I TPB combined. And they routinely engage in all of the above uncivil behaviors. Just ask Dan why he loves to call people honey. Your comment is a lie. Your compliment is meaningless.

To deny this is to know history. You haven't read much about Hitler have you? Hitler is the man that said Christianity is a harmful superstition and Christianity is a religion only fit for slaves. I've got both Kershaw's and Bullock's biographies. Try either one, they both have extensive examples of Hitler's private writings. Any support Hitler gave to Christianity was political posturing to accomplish his goals.

Hitler persecuted Jews because they were a handy scapegoat for his followers feelings of frustration and inadequacy at their reduced economic situation as well as loss of national prestige. He played on the historical enmity of European Christians toward Jews to both reinforce and exacerbate pre existing prejudice with the goal of leading the people to unquestioning nationalism.

Does scapegoatig and playing on pre existing prejudice for people who feel they have lost ground economically sound like anyone we know currently in high office?

Thanks for being a voice of reason Bob. Surely you are correct and history is all the evidence needed to show Hitlers true beliefs.

"Priests and Pastors Died for Their Beliefs

Hitler wanted not only to conquer all of Europe, but Hitler also wanted to create a new religion and to replace Jesus Christ as a person to be worshipped. Hitler expected his followers to worship the Nazi ideology. Since Catholic priests and Christian pastors were often influential leaders in their community, they were sought out by the Nazis very early. Thousands of Catholic priests and Christian pastors were forced into concentration camps. A special barracks was set up at Dachau, the camp near Munich, Germany, for clergymen. A few survived; some were executed, but most were allowed to die slowly of starvation or disease. "

Any objective observer can see that Hitler's "christianity" was a facade he used to get votes.

Must have happened before LBJ

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/lyndon-johnson-civil-rights-racism

Johnson was a man of his time, and bore those flaws as surely as he sought to lead the country past them. For two decades in Congress he was a reliable member of the Southern bloc, helping to stonewall civil rights legislation. As Caro recalls, Johnson spent the late 1940s railing against the “hordes of barbaric yellow dwarves” in East Asia. Buying into the stereotype that blacks were afraid of snakes (who isn’t afraid of snakes?) he’d drive to gas stations with one in his trunk and try to trick black attendants into opening it. Once, Caro writes, the stunt nearly ended with him being beaten with a tire iron.
Nor was it the kind of immature, frat-boy racism that Johnson eventually jettisoned. Even as president, Johnson’s interpersonal relationships with blacks were marred by his prejudice. As longtime Jet correspondent Simeon Booker wrote in his memoirShocks the Conscience, early in his presidency, Johnson once lectured Booker after he authored a critical article for Jet Magazine, telling Booker he should “thank” Johnson for all he’d done for black people. In Flawed Giant, Johnson biographer Robert Dallek writes that Johnson explained his decision to nominate Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court rather than a less famous black judge by saying, “when I appoint a nigger to the bench, I want everybody to know he’s a nigger.”

According to Caro, Robert Parker, Johnson’s sometime chauffer, described in his memoir Capitol Hill in Black and White a moment when Johnson asked Parker whether he’d prefer to be referred to by his name rather than “boy,” “nigger” or “chief.” When Parker said he would, Johnson grew angry and said, “As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your goddamn name. So no matter what you are called, nigger, you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a goddamn piece of furniture.”

LBJ was a racist just like most if not all the southern Democrats.

bob2356 says

For someone who complains about other people's knowledge of history, you sure don't seem knowledgeable yourself. I'll take historical evidence over the assertions of a random guy on the Internet any day.

Antisemitism in Germany spanned from the Middle Ages to the mid-20th century. To deny this is to just lie about history.

PeopleUnited says

Yes, because the American South is racist. And that's why the Republican Party is the party of racism today. It's the same damn racist southerners. They just switched parties. We went over this. You are just trying to white wash history again. The labels changed, not the people.

The Democrats before the Southern Strategy are today's Republicans.

Voting for the act that made torture U.S. policy.

98 Senators voted Yes on this bill including what percentage of Democrats Dan?

a few years later 88 Senators voted to reauthorize it. You are whitewashing history by dismissing the fact that DEMOCRATS MADE TORTURE THE LAW OF THE LAND. it could not have been done without the cooperation of the democrats. In fact the first time around it was nearly unanimous, and only a few were brave enough to stand up to their overlords the second time around. The Democrats own the patriot act, as the minority party they didn't even put a defense against it. They overwhelmingly approved it in the Senate. Just more lies from the biggest propagandist on the site.

The democrat party was not infiltrated by evil as Dan claims. It was evil, and still is evil today. Anyone who would defend the party that made the Patriot Act and the Iraq war authorization possible is clearly ignorant of the role these evil people played in making America less safe and less free.

Dan8267 says

For someone who complains about other people's knowledge of history, you sure don't seem knowledgeable yourself. I'll take historical evidence over the assertions of a random guy on the Internet any day.

Dan8267 says

I know the history very well. You like to believe you do. Jews were persecuted in Europe starting with the first Gentiles converting to Christianity. Last time I checked the region of Germany (there being no German nation until 1871) was part of Europe. Somehow you were unable to comprehend when I said quite plainly:

bob2356 says

historical enmity of European Christians toward Jews

Where exactly is my denial of antisemitism in that sentence? You didn't say Germany’s antisemitism. You said:

Dan8267 says

Hitler did kill Jews because of his religious beliefs

Nice strawman and tap dance though. Keep shucking and jiving you got it wrong. Deal.

PeopleUnited says

Yep, the Democrats went evil on that one. Republicans went evil on EVERY issue since 1960.

Again, vote for the lesser of the two evils, and by far that's Democrats today because Republicans were taken over by Jesus freaks.

PeopleUnited says

Anyone who would defend the party that made the Patriot Act and the Iraq war authorization possible is clearly ignorant of the role these evil people played in making America less safe and less free.

I don't defend the politicians who voted for the Patriot Act. Have you read anything I've written on Hillary Clinton or Obama?

However, the vast majority of Republican voters support that evil act, whereas the vast majority of Democrat voters do not. Your party is evil to the core of its voters.

bob2356 says

Nice strawman

Go visit a holocaust site. Tell the families of the survivors that the Holocaust had nothing to do with religion. Go on.

Dan8267 says

And there is Dan's true feelings, I knew we would live to see him declare it.

Anti-Christian bigotry. How conservative of you.

Dan8267 says

Your party is evil to the core of its voters.

And this is EXACTLY why there will be no resolution of the matter. Dan literally believes that people who don't think like him are evil to the core. This is the kind of thinking that causes a man to mow down protestors with a car, or mow down congressmen on a baseball field with a rifle. Dan you are part of the problem. When are you going to wise up and quit this conservative tribalism of yours? Are you blind to your own bigotry?

PeopleUnited says

Dan literally believes that people who don't think like him are evil to the core.

Bullshit. I think those who rape and torture are evil. That's not a stretch. And rape and torture are exactly what happen with the Patriot Act and Bush's illegal war.

In contrast, your despicable religion says that all people who don't mindlessly accept Jesus as divine will burn in hell. That's fucking evil.

Dan8267 says

your despicable religion says that all people who don't mindlessly accept Jesus as divine

More lies, God does not want anyone to "mindlessly accept" He wants you to choose, to carefully consider...

Isaiah Chapter 1

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Proverbs Chapter 8

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.

More lies, God does not want anyone to "mindlessly accept" He wants you to choose, to carefully consider...

@Jazzmusic

For the record, I don't think Dan or anyone here is evil.

Deceived? Yes.

Evil? No.

But I know that everyone here including me needs forgiveness.

Romans Chapter 3

9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
