No. I don't resort to silly little games like this when I lose an argument. It was you (in a non-responsive statement) that quibbled that my statement on Obama and HRC getting a pass was my opinion and not fact and I should post it as such. I'm merely pointing out the obvious -- that you now intend to hold yourself to the same standard that you sought to hold me to. Unless, of course, you have no integrity.
I don't need any help from anybody but there are posters here that stand for honesty and integrity and will point out affronts to both from time to time. They should be thanked and applauded rather than derided.

Right, in other words, you are more upset that your support of a POTUS, that aligns his policies with a Hitler-esque regime is called out, rather than actually be upset that a POTUS subscribes to such a policy in the first place. Once again, that is more of a reflection of the supporter, than the one acknowledging it exists. The passive-aggressiveness isn't a virtue, no matter how upset you may get.
I am so ecstatic you made that statement, now we can discuss exactly what "honesty and integrity" entails in your eyes. You see, that particular poster has spent the past two or so threads and five posts accusing someone of lying, but when challenged on providing proof of such accusation, they slink away into the darkness. Is that the kind of "honesty and integirty" you seek? Because to me, that is the opposite of what those terms mean. Maybe a self reflection on the company one keeps, or "thanked and applauded" is in order?

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
~Alain de Benoist
No. This makes no sense whatsoever in the context of our discussion. None. This is what happens when you have nothing to say.
Again, no. You were criticizing a poster's criticism of your conduct and demonstration of support for me. The fact that that particular poster recognized my honesty and integrity should be applauded and not derided. I try to keep good company but I am known from time to time to associate with Democrats.

Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
LoL, now you are falling back to the tired ....and overused mantra of calling what you have no rebuttal to as being nonsensical. Seen it used to many times here, I had hoped you to be above such antics, but alas you have proved me wrong.
As to your second paragraph, all I will say is that you were caught off guard with my response to you, maybe next time you will think before attempting to use that line of reasoning again.

Now that line of discussion didn't go the way you wanted it to, what will the goal posts be moved to?
