Was John Quincy Adams A "Founding Father"??

Just another ad hominem, and boring, liberal bash... You need some new material. (That one is nearly 20 years old...) Why don't you try something from the John Birch Society website? That seems more your style.

Deflectors on maximum, Scotty!

This article has nothing to do with liberal bashing. You assumption is quite wrong. If you read it you will most probably agree with this article.

The Rise, Fall, and Renaissance of Classical Liberalism, Part 1

by Ralph Raico, August 1992

Classical liberalism — or simply liberalism, as it was called until around the turn of the century — is the signature political philosophy of Western civilization. Hints and suggestions of the liberal idea can be found in other great cultures. But it was the distinctive society produced in Europe — and in the outposts of Europe, above all, America — that served as the seedbed of liberalism. In turn, that society was decisively shaped by the liberal movement.

*sigh*

What is your take on this treatise?

Why would I bother? You never even told me what my gay agenda is.

What?! Did I say you had a gay agenda? I think that you are dreaming or something.

Agreed. I did a search. That was trouble...

I can't help it. I don't really like chatting with you. At least I find PrintSmith interesting even if I do disagree with him. You not so much. I haven't read anything that you have posted that even makes me think. I feel the same way about Viking's crapola but at least we can sing and visit. LOL

Ditto. Try reading the article and you will find that I have posted at least one link that is worth discussion.

You haven't yet. I'll pass.

And the mind slams shut.

Yep. With some folks - you are right. You are one of them. You add nothing intellectual to me. As I said, PS does, but you.... Are drivel. And it doesn't mean my mind is closed if I don't want to read *your* drivel. I find you boring and closed minded and mean. Have at it. People like me - don't bother with people like you.

I have drawn my opinions from a lifetime of observation and consideration. I am mean (average) to the core, nothing exceptional. I, also, do not bother with people like you. And it is no loss to me.

Well, if that is the case - then why did you ask if I had a response?

Yes - they are *your* opinions. There are many that do not share those. Just because you say it, does not make it so. And frankly, I see you as a ghost. I even met TPP. You are someone that sits behind your computer and needs to get out more.

Thanks for admitting they are your opinions. *THAT* is what they are. I have 47 years of formulating mine, but at least I am open to reading the enlightened. That would not be you.

My opinion has just recently been cemented, within the last few posts, with your help.

And I am rather proud that I have not belittled you in the few posts that we have exchanged. Some are not up to that level of communication.

I will tell you right now that I am not presentable to the public. I live privately. I work privately. And you would prefer it to be so, if........
