I quit interacting with @Jack V Savage because his posts were constantly filled with personal insults,

Then why should people take their demonstrably false claims of worry for the national debt seriously?I cannot name a liberal who is a consistent deficit hawk, no. (And you can name one Republican Senator...)
So I gave a straight answer to your question.
Does that mean that 1) I am not a liberal or 2) you father was full of shit?
(Logic is a bitch...)
@panamaican is a fairly reasonable left-of-center poster. Our politics don't align, but I really can't recall the last time pan and I had an out-and-out disagreement on something.
This is a lie, of course. You didn't get mad about personal insults, which I rarely use, but about arguments which you were unable to address.

By your own admission, the Democrats don't care about the national debt when they're in power.
A Democrat claiming to care about the national debt when their party is out of power, is nothing more than political pandering.
You're on your first step to recovery from liberalism.
The journey is going to be hard, there will be many times when you will be tempted to get pulled back into leftism.
But fear not, if you stay true to the sacred fact, you will eventually arrive at conservatism.
I wish you well on your journey!
Jack just called me a liar only four minutes ago in this thread.Source?
I see that you still haven't learned your lesson which is sad because I clearly laid out the issue with your thinking here.Then why should people take their demonstrable false claims of worry for the national debt seriously?

I have better things to do with my time.
He's pulling this shit with me itt. I called his post stupid and explained why and all he had to say was I personally attacked him, then utterly failed to address the criticism. I think he's either copping out of addressing arguments or he doesn't get what personal attacks are.
All that debt bailed out the rich(socialism for the wealthy). Are you in favor of trickle down economics?You do what you have to do Mr Mac and I think you know that.
Here it is: Anyone Hear from the Tea Party Lately?
These guys have were all over American politics for the past 10 years or so. In fact, the majority of our current GOP Congress was installed during the 2010 midterms due to the Tea Party movement.
These American patriots, as I remember, were very, and I mean VERY concerned about the national debt.
So I figured, since they don't seem to be around any more, that must mean the national debt problem was solved.
Oh, there it is.
So what's up, Tea Party?
Why are you all taking a knee?

There is a deep truth here. For decades, the hardcore right in this country hasn’t been about specific policies or a particular spending level, but a feeling of grievance that is wrapped up in culture, economics, and demographics.
Trump lowered our taxes, so we are happy!

I already told you that I do not respect stupid opinions and quite frankly no one should. I never said I respected your original post and I clearly explained why I do not. On a personal level you seem like a nice enough guy and I do like that you are respectful.So calling something "stupid" isn't supposed to be insulting in any way?
Unless you can articulate how calling something "stupid" is now somehow a sign of respect, you're just wrong.
I find it fascinating when people won't openly acknowledged their own bad behavior.
Good point and I'll take it as such to the extent I believe that's where it's coming from and not some form of trolling or something.To some degree, it's a mark of respect. Criticism is more stressful coming from someone you respect--even if it's gentle and not personal.

1st step in recovery from liberalism... Stop accepting facts and just call them alternative facts and continue believing only what suits your pre determined narrative
The only whining in this thread is from liberals about the tea party after the battering on page 1. That is so 2008.Now if you want to get back to the heart of our disagreement cool, but I'm not going to address anymore whining from you.
Whining is not the same as a factual account of the Tea Party hypocrisy. The word you're looking for is criticism.The only whining in this thread is from liberals about the tea party after the battering on page 1. That is so 2008.

Ah, facts... I remember those good old days...But fear not, if you stay true to the sacred fact, you will eventually arrive at conservativism

Uhh... then it should be "nothing but political pandering" when Republicans do that very thing... and do it a thousand times as much, no?A Democrat claiming to care about the national debt when their party is out of power, is nothing more than political pandering.
