There's almost some compassion building.

Still, one can't help but be amused that the person with the Dale Gribble avatar is inveighing against "conservative bootlickers". (Not that they don't deserve it.)
This whole site has become a flaming $hitty dumpster fire which why I stopped dealing with it some time ago. I still lurk once in a while and even had to create a new profile to set some things straight. And if you're offended, that's your problem and yes I realize I misspelled my username and if you want to poke fun at that, again that's your problem. This is a one and done post so go ahead get your pitchforks and torches out, I won't be replying to your communo-fascist drivel.

Whenever anyone comes on here with remotely conservative or libertarian views, the fire ants like stoned pilgrim (who is obviously an esteemed retiree of the salvation army), cottonponymountain, mountainschlub et al, attack with pure fascistic efficiency. Know why you don't recognize real fascism? It's because YOU ARE THE FASCISTS! shutting down any discourse here. So here's one for you; I'll just throw this out: all liberals are d*********s. How's that for reductionism? And don't try to make that a homophobic statement. It is your reaction to it that makes it homophobic, if you are offended by it, then YOU are the homophobe...get it? THIS IS A MOUNTAINEERING SITE FFS!!
Your facts are nothing more than regurgitation of CNN and MSNBC pablum. Conflating the facts constantly: federal troops protecting federal property is completely different from terrorists burning down cities (liberal run kind you), assaulting innocent people etc. I suppose it might be different if those thugs showed up to break your door down, drag your little entitled Lily white ass out in the street and steal the keys to your precious Subaru and the roof tent you recently purchased with your relief money that the communocrats insisted we print out of thin air.
Keep on trashing the country while chastising those who in your Infinit wisdom don't appreciate the fortune they have. Which is it? If the country is so evil than why would you defend rights of people to come here illegally, wouldn't they be better off not coming here? Your hypocrisy makes me think that those who raised and educated you should be ashamed for producing such ignorant/entitled douchebags.

That's I bid you adieu.
So long and thanks for all the fish.

Despite the misplaced political diatribe on a fun climbing website, I Actually find myself agreeing With the Bro Man for the most part. ROTFL with the Subaru and rooftop tent example...that’s just plain hard truth right there 🤣🤣🤣

Despite the reference to an awesome series of books I didn't much care for the psychotic and paranoid rant. Social Injustice Warriors claiming they're being persecuted or that the left doesn't like facts crack me up. The former is projection and the latter is risible on its face.

I'm all for those on the right having large parties without masks. Especially in FL, PA, MI, and WI during an election year. A few thousand covid deaths in the right demographics and then people who value hard work, respect science, and try to balance the budget will be back in political office.

Wish we could bring back notable Republicans like Eisenhower and Nixon. It'd be fun to watch the delicate little snowflakes on the right shout about how socialist they were.

You all need to learn how to debate those with opposing views without resorting to insults. If someone disagrees with you, it's not because there's something wrong with them, it's because they see the world differently and plurality of opinions is a good thing. If you find yourself upset by those opposing views, then you need to work through your issues on your own time. It's a sad commentary on the state of public discourse. Do you really thing that antagonizing those who disagree with you will help fix any of our social problems?

You mean like telling one of those people with an opposing view that they're suffering through serious emotional problems and they enjoy pissing off other people to confirm their pessimistic world view?

That's a different conversation and whatever I said was not in response to any of your opposing views on matters impacting our country. When you share something personal about yourself and you invite me to discuss it, then you are also granting me permission to critique you.

I am sure this rationalization of a double standard made perfect sense in your head.

Just curious who "you all" is. D-toy? Or do you take it is an insult when I point out your incongruencies, mr. master debater?
