Sure you use logic, reason and evidence...with your own slanted spin of bias.

No, you are the one who is the Comicon Master Baiter here...

Yes, actually I did post on that board on the man's birthday.
If you also noted, I posted some of things I did not like that Reagan did.
I don't look at him as some sort of God, and it is kind of funny how you make a homophobic remark about adulation about Reagan.
No yellow dog Republican am I, I did not go for Bush in 2000, and I won't in 2004. Of course the Democrats have no one I will vote for either.
I guess Mickey Mouse for 2004 is looking pretty good.

Good point...

Lying about is the other half in Carrolland, right?

Well I have never claimed to be a Limbaugh fan.

There have been sufficient amount of rants on this thread and many have not been mine.

Perhaps there are a number of people who post here that are just as pompous as Limbaugh is.

The only bias I detect in my posts is an anti-BS bias, aimed most often at you.

Let's see, here is what you can take from me on my recent postings at comicon

1. I'm a big supporter of free trade
2. I favor a safety net and job retraining over protectionism
3. I believe that Halliburton's Iraq contracts are profitable
4. I think Firestorm is a fairly weak and derivative character
5. I really like Howard Chaykin's work
and
6. I think you do a really poor job of presenting your arguments, defending said arguments and standing by said arguments when pressed. I think you hold other posters to a higher standard than you do yourself (man that whole Reagan movie/Bush movie thing in this thread is proof of that).

I don't curry favor with anyone, and if someone disagrees with me, I am not bothered with it.
Nor do I lose sleep over the personal attacks either. I am used to it.

One thing though, as long as you put your real name up there, I can say I respect that a lot more than the others who hide behind sockpuppets.

That does not apply to those who sign their name after their post. As long as they sign their real name, I have no problem with them.

Okay, and I will counter your points:
1) I support fair trade as there is no such thing as free trade. That is an illusion made up by some deluded Republicans.

2) What job retraining? That is another illusion given to deluded people by the Clintonians and the Bushites. When the manufacturing and service oriented jobs go overseas, what will this country produce? This nation must produce, and it is not doing that.

3) I believe Halliburton would be doing better without all of the lawsuits which dog their past exploits. Since they are not under such government restraints in Iraq, you are correct about your conclusion and since the 3Q came out, it supports your conclusion about the Iraq contracts. The evidence does support your conclusion, and I freely submit to that since the figures came out.

4) There are more characters worse than Firestorm, The Red Tornado comes to mind.

5) Howard Chaykin is all right, but does not push any buttons with me. I like Kirby, Ditko and the most underrated comic artist of all, Curt Swan.

6) I think the same of you at times, and found the idea of the comparison of the Bush film to the Reagan one a poor example of your point. Perhaps the Nixon one that Oliver Stone might have been a better example.
The bottom line is that some people will always look at Kennedy as King Arthur, and Nixon as Mordred. Although the truth is a lot different, that is the way it will always be.
I suspect a better example would be to compare the Reagan movie to the book that Goldman did on Elvis and John Lennon. I felt that the Bush movie was a poor example and that is why I disagreed with you on that note.

I wasn't refering to you Sam. That may have not been clear in my post. But if you look at some of the Headers and posts they liken the man unto a God. THATS what I found humorous. I have no beef with you personally, it just seems that you tend to have a "know it all attitude" and never concede to someone elses opinions.

And I stick by my earlier comment about posters on that board hovering around homosexual adulation for our former President.

As I've stated before I think we share similar views, just different methods of execution. You just seem to be willing to concede on a topic.

And youre right about sock puppet names on here and I feel like I have been posting on here for 2 years and should reveal my name (as far as you know)

Brian Michael White

My sincere apologies that I took your post the wrong way. I did overreact and I am sorry for that and hope that you can forgive my agressive over-reacting nature.

You are correct though, there are many people who do look at Reagan as some sort of American icon as many do with Kennedy and FDR.
I don't subscribe to any of those people and it does bother me. It seems that many of those people who love Reagan as much as they do need to realize that he compromised a great deal, and I have always believed that you don't compromise your views, which is why we ended up with large deficits during the eighties when he should have just said NO to those who wanted more money for more projects.

Hey, the "nuh-uh"s have begun! An important part of any balanced Sam thread.

So I guess we should add "how is the law enforcement that took place in Florida the same as the law enforcement that took place in Vermont?" to the list of questions Sam can't answer? It should be in good company alongside the ACLU question...

(Dodge time!)
