Accusing someone of posting something to "instigate' is the oldest trick in the book, and man-to-man, I doubt you would accuse me of that.
I see things posted many times on many boards that I don't even click on, and leave it at that. If I do join a thread, I never accuse someone of posting a thread with the purpose of instigating anything.
What is troubling is that you do not see anything wrong with falsely accusing someone in a public forum.
Inform has a different meaning than instigate.
Once in a while, when I find something hysterically funny, I post a thread for that. But that isn't instigating anything is it? See the point?

I'm done, post as you wish (not that you need my permission).
I wasn't playing the "oldest trick" in the book, I'll leave those to you. Simply stating your purpose (urge, arouse). Didn't mean for you to be upset, although now I certainly know better.
Oh, and saying it to your face.. no problem next time you're up in Charlotte, NC give me a PM and I'll be glad to meet you.

Frank, You're a bright guy as long as you've got a quote or a book to look it up in. Try common sense and people skills for a change.

This is the scenario: One reads a thread, same person gets agitated. One accuses the original poster of attempted instigation. Then when one gets exposed for their Alinsky-esque tactics, one resorts to insults (see above highlighted quote).
The jig is up, as they say. As for Charlotte, nothing there that I can't do in Hotlanta.

Oh excuse me, you guys actually believe the Constitution is a "living" document that is "open to interpretation."
I never said the Constitution was a living document. Sometimes you just believe what the conservative media tells you rather than listening to what liberals such as myself actually believe. I said the Constitution was subject to revision. That's how Constitutional ammendments happen. If it were not for the ammendment process we would be locked in to the original constitution. We wouldn't even have the right to bear arms if the Constitution was set in stone. As usual, the conservative talking points run directly counter to what conservatives say they believe in.
Saul Alinsky would be very proud of you guys.

When I posted that Glenn Beck thread a while back, that was basically just for agitation. I was just posting information, but every die hard conservative on this board sure did get agitated.

A racially integrated community is a chronological term timed from the entrance of the first black family to the exit of the last white family.
Always remember the first rule of power tactics; power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.
History is a relay of revolutions.
Last guys don't finish nice.
Life is a corrupting process from the time a child learns to play his mother off against his father in the politics of when to go to bed; he who fears corruption fears life.
Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you're free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in.
Tactics mean doing what you can with what you have.
The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.

It is every Americans' right and obligation to read and interpret the Constitution for himself.
On every question of construction, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.
Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction.
The true key for the construction of everything doubtful in a law, is the intention of the law givers. This is most safely gathered from the words, but may be sought also in extraneous circumstances, provided they do not contradict the express words of the law.
I had rather ask an enlargement of power from the nation, where it is found necessary, than to assume it by a construction which would make our powers boundless.
The fundamental principle of the government is that the will of
the majority is to prevail.
Lethargy is the forerunner of death to the public liberty.
The legislative powers of government reach actions only and not opinions.
No government can be maintained without the principle of fear as well as duty. Good men will obey the last, but bad ones the former only. If our government ever fails, it will be from this weakness.

The only good thing about all of this is that the only people who read comic books are 32-year-old dweebs who live in their parent's basement, and could only procreate if their sperm could somehow find their way through the communications system to the girls on internet **** sites.......

C- I have wireless internet and the modem is clear on the other side of the room.

The jig is up, as they say. As for Charlotte, nothing there that I can't do in Hotlanta.

Is cheering him on really the right thing to do?
We don't know for sure how much stress these bouts cause.
All these gigantic brains versus his sloped forehead.
