See BGZ, he's always drunk or high and always making insulting remarks and I'm not fazed by him one bit. BTW, I think he just called you a leftist commie.
Ya, speaking of drunks, yes Lee Zelden was attacked on stage by a mentally ill drunk Democrat with a kitty head keychain with 2 little knives for ears.
Just more evidence that America is headed toward the abyss.
Anyway thanks for the challenge, but I'm naturally confrontational and nasty Frank says.
Will attempt to unpack some of your responses from above.
Softy & Shame: apologizing when you are wrong isn’t being soft, it is being accountable. It is being a man. Big difference. Shame is too strong a word. Disappointment in my self is a better word. I fail everyday in my quest to be a better Christian. Sometimes I make good on it for a minute, half or maybe a full hour. I never make it a half day before I fall. Then I try again. Everyday.
You were probably inebriated: I was not. No drugs or alcohol in my system then or now- unless you want to count caffeine. This is where you can be a better person. You prejudged and are wrong. What you do with that information is now up to you.
BGZ always drunk or high and always making insulting remarks: Untrue. You’ve got hyperbole and rush to judgment down. Do you also admit when you are wrong? Try it. It is freeing. Look at BGZ’s last ten posts. Are they all insulting?
His Commie call on me is him showing his sense of humor and a preemptive heads up to what he expecting would be your wrath. You may consider him a commie leftist because the real communists, progressives, leftists, socialists, moderates and some moderate conservatives have all left the boards, to the detriment of the boards. And I’m guilty of pushing a couple off myself.
Just like only one person can be the most Woke, only one person can be the most conservative. If someone is to the right of you, you are the soft, shamed, drunk, high commie.
Lee Zelden attacked by a mentally I’ll drunk Democrat: How do you know he was a Democrat? Another rush to judgment. You didn’t mention war veteran. Mentally ill? Maybe. Drunk, based on reports- yes. Having friends who were in the military, talking with them, and they’ve only probably shared 1% of their pain, mental illness among vets is off the charts bad. We cheer them onto battle, support them, and when the wars are over, we civilians walk away. Politicians care even less. One of the nicest guys I ever met was a friend of mine for about ten years. A West Point graduate, married, two great kids. He shot himself in the head one morning. He was all used up.
I do agree with your assertion the USA is headed for the abyss. I’m asking you not step on the accelerator.
Truth of the matter is I was once much more angry, hateful, vengeful and conservative than you are now.
We can all change.
