People upset and disappointed by his recent change in political philosophy are thinking about it the wrong way. Conservatives generally get destroyed in arguments on here and now that he switched sides the fight is a little more fair. He’s basically the opposite of Kevin Durant. Respect.

Also support, though a) leash isn't conservative as much as he's sick of the fringe Left and b) I can squat more than he can.

Thank you, FF. You can be the big spoon tonight.



How much did you squat? I think we discussed this, but I can't remember.

As far as politics, I don't know what I am. But you are certainly correct that the fringe Left made me much more passionate about free speech. I don't debate ideology nowadays as much as I just debate the right of people to hold any ideology they want as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others. I used to say I believed that, but I didn't really practice it. I was pretty hypocritical, and I'm sure I still am in many ways that I don't realize. None of us is as smart as all of us.

And that led me to examine my beliefs on the role of government, in general. Those beliefs have certainly changed, whether it has made me more liberal or more conservative.

I have chicken legs, so that was a huge lie on my part.

I think a lot of people are in the same boat...they are re-examining the role of our government (and our entire culture). There are a lot of ex-liberals and ex-conservatives around, and it's not like they are simply moderate; they're still figuring out where they stand. Maybe it was always that way--I don't know.

His willingness to take on the cult of Michael Jordan elevates him to legendary CFMB poster status.

Leash has left the board again. Who was mean to him?

I don't think anyone was mean to him--it's just that the burden of being affluent and white can be too much to bear sometimes.

Now I see why you weren't a history major at Second Tier Big Ten School.

I thought white privilege meant no such burdens exist?

I don't remember if it was this one or the last one but he wasn't happy I brought up his defense of the Nazi-adjacent Robert E Lee statue protesters and then he created a thread calling me judgmental.

:lol:

Got me for a second

I think it was the non confrontational style employed by Denis which eventually drove him from the board.
