Palin, Coulter lash out at Trump "sell out"

[Noir]

I want to insult him but Drummond is cool.

See it was much easier for the 'who cares about a non-Americans opinion' etc when I was the only regular non-American poster. Now the insults must be more nuanced, if only
slightly.
Gotta work for that thanks yeah

upon further reflection, it's more that the overwhelming majority of you ass fuck millennials aren't worth a squirt of piss....

Doesn't matter which side of the pond you're on.

Oh f-ng wah. First, you ain't even close to the only non-American poster, victim. I don't like anyone in an equal manner. You people and your labels. Geez. I don't know about anyone else but I generally disagree with you because you're a dumbass. Not for where you're from. You DO realize most of us live farther apart than you are from us? I can get to your house a lot easier than I can NT's. He lives at the North Pole.

You're a weakling. That's all you have to do to get pm MY list. Difference between us? I still listen. You ignore anything you can't fathom. A closed mind will get you dead every time.

Quailty insult is quality, and probably what I deserve for agreeing with Triggs statement. In any case - back on hand.

This is where you disconnect, junior. Trigg and I don't always agree but I don't stick her on the curb for it. If I want a bunch of yes men to agree with me I'll sure get the Hell off here. If there's someone on that I haven't pissed off, name them, Next target .

You want to come here and play with the big boys and bring a BB gun to the fight. And we're mostly teasing. And hes I am annoyed. I can't fing my favorite Jonny Cash video.

But you can rest assured I'm as veraed in English as you, hagus. Don't assume.

There are more non-American posters here than just us two, Noir. We provide something of a spectrum of views. The point is that our viewpoints are taken, I believe, on their own merits.

As to what those merits 'are' ... well, that's something else.

Noir, though you don't choose to realise it ... and probably never will ... you suffer from two handicaps when you post here.

One is that you'll be getting your views on America from the filter of news and opinion as it's arrived at, and broadcast, HERE in the UK. And we can't possibly be nearly as expert, properly versed, in American issues as the Americans themselves are.

We have our psychology, Noir, and it's one borne of the society we live in. That is a DIFFERENT society to the US one.

The other handicap (and boy, it's a truly crippling one !!) is that you approach everything with a Leftie mindset. This by its nature will be propagandist, deeply judgmental, contemptuous of views not serving any Left wing agenda. Such a mindset blinds you to other realities and attitudes.You are, because of your handicaps, not only blind to other views AND what underpins them, but somehow you arrogantly assume that YOU must always be RIGHT.

In reality, all you offer is an alternative way of thinking, Noir. That it exists, does not of itself prove a thing as to its real worth.

If I had a piece of advice for you, I'd say this ... GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE. Be receptive to others. Understand other people not in your own ridiculously blinkered terms, but IN THEIRS.

And whether you like it or not ... I view American society as superior to ours in a number of ways. Their patriotism, for one. Their spirit of striving for betterment, for another. The value of the individual. These are qualities we're in danger of completely losing over here.

Noir - it is not you who has things to teach the Americans. Rather, I believe that it's Americans who have a lot to teach us.

Find some respect, Noir, for decent and forward-looking people. Approach this board with an open - NOT A BLINKERED - mind.

[Drummond]

Insult away, BD. Until he rids himself of his stupid judgmentality, he earns it, in my view.

He's a Left winger who judges those who aren't with some degree of contempt. Since that's true, I've no time for him.

You're gonna have to rejig this 'handicap' Drummond, I don't watch/read UK broadcasts and haven't for a long time, and the vast majority of my American news/current events come from posts on this website, which you can hardly call a Lettie-socialist-bias news haven, yeah?

Really ?? Then I'm baffled. If you were watching UK output and being influenced by it, that could explain something of your contributions here. I still think that you will receive influence from those around you, in UK society, though, regardless.

What you've done is to make your attitude here that much LESS explainable. Unless ... you're totally brainwashed by Leftie chums, maybe ?

I don't know. I don't much care, to be honest. If in fact you ARE as much in tune with American opinion and their news as you claim to be, then ... you should know better.

Why DON'T you ?

why would you want to watch/read UK broadcasts? That's baffling.

I dont remeber ever claiming I was '"much in tune with American opinion" etc, all I did in this thread was agree with a statement in a post, and here we are!

Because that's what I'll get if I turn on my TV ?

Anyone wanting quick access to news or current events will turn on their TV or radio to check it out. Since I'm in the UK, I'll get UK output !

As for 'wanting' to, I'll be delighted if US stations (e.g Fox News) appeared in my Freeview lineup. But they basically don't. Al Jazeera ... sure ... that's available on any UK televised media platform you care to mention .... Al J make sure of it !

Here's the point. I know the nature of the BBC's biases, so I'll never be influenced by them. So it doesn't really matter whether I watch their stuff or not. YOU, however, give the impression of being completely in tune with them.

And if you're not in tune with American opinion ... considering what you claim for yourself, why aren't you ?

Does your Leftieism rule you ?

[fj1200]

I'm surprised you would even listen to what Palin or Coulter have to say. You have certainly not been shy on other threads to call them out for their remarks.

Palin is and always has been an idiot, she needs to go back to Alaska and stay there. Preferably somewhere with no internet.

IIRC she got some good press from some when she got on the trump bandwagon.

[Noir]

And if you're not in tune with American opinion ... considering what you claim for yourself, why aren't you ?

What exactly do I 'claim for myself'?

[Drummond]

What exactly do I 'claim for myself'?

Are you attempting to indulge in pedantry ? Because, this is what you've already said ...

I dont remeber ever claiming I was '"much in tune with American opinion" etc

It's interesting in its way. On the one hand, you've suggested that you don't rely on British media for your views. On the other, by implication you also resist the idea of claiming you were, or are, 'much in tune with American opinion'. So what am I to conclude from this ? That you're so completely set in your somewhat isolated opinions that you prefer not to be swayed by anything at all ?

I suppose it figures. As a committed Leftie, you cannot let anything intrude upon the beliefs and viewpoints that go to making you one. Apparently you also take this a stage further and get all judgmental against others when they have opinions you don't CHOOSE to share. Well ... the truly 'informed, enlightened' individual is, I suggest, one who meets reality fairly and squarely, and adapts to it accordingly. We're not hung up on invented Utopianist dogma which has no relation to the real world.

Am I describing a CONSERVATIVE ? I happen to believe that I am.

Little wonder, therefore, that you don't understand or relate to what it is I'm talking about. Which is your loss, my son.

Noir. If what you said above, is, in the least bit true. Then you have no DOG IN THE FIGHT when it comes to ANY American opinions here on DP. Unless of course. You are now admitting that you have been LYING all along???
