Over at Cone's there's yet another of the typical disingenuous discussions for which that particular blog is notorious.
It's just another of theroutine "conservatives are always wrong, we're always right, and you guys are nothing but trolls" from some of the most usual of Usual Suspects.
One of them asks the insipid question: "Why are there no liberal trolls on conservative blogs?"
Two reasons, pal.
One, most of the Dem/Lefty/"Progressive"/Libthinker Usual Suspects are way too fearful of venturing out on their own without the safety net of fellow Cone sycophants, who can be trusted to tag team and marginalize any conservative viewpoint.
Second, without the support of said safety net, Usual Suspects know their responses cannot stand on their own merit when challenged.
But I suspect you already knew the certainty of those particular truths, didn't you?
You missed the key word, that being "trolls." The question wasn't why are their no liberal commenters on local conservative blogs. There are (despite our fear).
ReplyDeleteThe question was why there are no liberal TROLLS on local conservative blogs: Why there aren't people who show up on blogs like yours berating you for having a conservative perspective, calling you a hypocrite for favoring a point of view and disrupting your comment threads. That was the question. It remains unanswered.
Allow me. If the blog in question does not fit in with your high-minded philosophy/ideas - if it does not agree 100% with your hallowed opinions of how the world should be and work - if it does not worship at the right altars - you make a pointed effort to pretend it does not exist (even when you can't). You stick to yourselves and talk amongst yourselves - and gang up on anyone who may show up and disagree with you.
ReplyDeleteVery brave indeed. And in many ways, it's far worse than being a "troll".
Hope this helps.

ReplyDeleteIt's a phony question, posed by those with phony motives.
A "troll" is simply a term used by libthinkers to maginalize any conservative who has the audacity to confront libthinkers and hold them accountable regarding their academic and intellectual dishonesty offered on libthink blogs.
That's a fact.
It's the only way to deal with the smarm, arrogance, childishness, pettiness, and outright ignorance that they pass off as enlightend comment.
And as has been proven in the case of Cone, they're NEVER wrong, even when they obviously are.
"That's a fact."
ReplyDeleteWell, no it's not. It's a delusion that keeps you from acknowledging your own bad behavior.

ReplyDelete....says the jerk who pulled a purely vindictive stunt for no other reason except to marginalize Mary Johnson.
