You called me a "Centrist" as an attempted insult a few posts ago. I am not a Centrist because I call people on both sides for their bullshit. I am a Centrist because I support some viewpoints on both sides of the spectrum.

This situation was neither. This was just you saying something stupid and being called out on it just as I would have called Androidpk out on it, regardless of my view on the matter. If you're wondering, I have no standpoint on Barbara Bush. I might have, but she was a political figure long before I gave a shit about politics, and I really don't know much about her.

You're retarded.

Terribly worded apology, but I accept on behalf of both of them.

Your compliance has been noted in your file.

Does this mean every republican who supports legalizing weed is a centrist now?

Negative. Capitalists, every one! It's just Trickle-down economics restoring the natural order. Pot dealers are supposed to be at the bottom of the chain with a corporate juggernaut on top. No more of this grow and sell your own shit tax free stuff.

I didn't say you're a centrist as an insult, I said you TRY SO HARD to be a centrist. This is you setting up a strawman again because you can't argue like a normal human being. And what I meant by that is you're like those people who try to curry favor with the far left. "See look at me! I'm not all bad! I also think this person is a racist/sexist/bigot/whatever."

I am nothing like Androidpk. Androidpk pretends to be a centrist but has gone so far to the left he risks falling off the map.

I have always considered myself center right, I have never pretended I was anything else. The only views of mine that have changed since Trump became president (or more like since Democrats lost their minds) is my views on abortion. I used to just barely be on the side of pro-choice, but Democrats pushing late term abortion bills and toying with the idea of post-birth abortion has pushed me barely into the pro-life side of things.

That's the only political issue that has changed for me.

The other thing that has changed is I wasn't too thrilled with the idea of Trump being our president but for the most part I think he has done a fantastic job. I don't agree with every thing the man does or says, but again with the left losing their minds I find myself defending him against morons all of the time. I am more vocal of my support of Trump than I have other Republican politicians in the past because I think he is by far being given a raw deal by the press, the media, and by politicians from both parties. Shit I even found myself defending Obama at times from Republicans because I thought they went too far, now it's just constant 24/7 news bashing Trump for even the dumbest of things that aren't even his fault or for shit he never said or implied.

Latest example of this constant bullshit? Barbara Bush is trending on Twitter with this as the description: "Barbara Bush’s new biography details her dislike of Donald Trump"

They aren't interested in Barbara Bush's legacy as a woman, mother, wife, patriot, or first lady. Nope. It's just "Barbara Bush hated Trump too! OMG OMG OMG! A Republican first lady hated Trump! OMGGGGGGGG!" It's disgusting.

If you want to be a centrist then be a centrist. Don't pretend to be one so both sides will think you're a great guy, because most people can see right through that shit. Proof? Look at Androidpk and how well that whole "I'm a centrist!" worked out for him.

If all you're interested in is being disingenuous and setting up strawman arguments then just stop replying to my posts.

Which political opinion of mine specifically do you feel is me trying to be a centrist? Was it the one where I said I have no opinion on Barbara Bush because she was a political figure long before I cared about politics and I don't know much about her?

You're angry because I call bullshit on people on both sides of the fence. I get that. But you're using the word centrist wrong if that's what you're referring to. The only staunch democrats here are Vishra, Androidpk, and Back, and the last thing I said about any of them was that you were smarter than Androidpk. I have not been anywhere near kind to the other two either. Especially Vishra.

And to be clear, I'm not mean to them because they're democrats. I'm mean to them because they make arguments like toddlers removing their diapers and smearing shit on the wall.

It is possible to both have a view and also look at events/statements on a case by case basis.

I explained why I said this if you would stop being such a lazy fuck and only reading one sentence.

Since you are now pulling a Shaft and can only read 3 lines of another person's post be sure to read this line from my post above:

Just because I only quoted one sentence doesn't mean I only read one sentence. I chose to give you the benefit of the doubt, because as I said in my post, you are using the word wrong if that's what you mean.

Vocabulary aside, if you feel me calling out your statement as inaccurate and misleading as trying to curry favor with someone, then my suggestion is that you refrain from making inaccurate and misleading statements in the future, and I won't have anything to say about them.

Then why the hell did you ask me something that I already explained two sentences later in the post you supposedly read?

Again...
