I never said anything of the kind. I am getting pretty freaking tired of talking to people who either don't bother to read posts before responding or else can't understand anything.
Your insinuation with the slash mark is unmistakable but if you want to attempt to rationalize, once again, your way out of it then go for it. I, for one, don't believe you.
I insist that you show me one post I've made on this Web site that says that someone who bashes Bush is automatically bashing America. If you can't show me a single post I've ever made in which I say what you claim falsely my position is, then you're the only one around here being dishonest.
Rather, I have said that bashing the administration's conduct of a war in progress, to such an extent that the war effort is diminished is un-American. I have never said, and emphatically do not believe, that criticising the president is inherently un-American.
Just remember, if you can look at one of my posts and accuse me of an opinion I have never, ever expressed due to some conjunction of words, I can do it to you. Believe me, you'll be amazed at learning some of the things you advocate.
Same ole Brandon.. When faced with reality of what he said and how others interpret it he goes into attack mode and demands proof of his statements. I am not going to let you off the hook here Brandon. You do this constantly. You are nothing but a playground bully in your actions. You attempt to browbeat people here on A2K. The first time I encountered you on here you were doing this same thing to a couple of people that weren't quite capable of handling you. The thing I learned a long time ago about bullies is they hate their own tactics being used against them.
Since you claim that Bush/America doesn't equate the two find me a usage of the / in English language that would apply to your usage and doesn't tie the words together in some way. I look forward to your factual response. You are the one that used the term. It IS up to you to provide evidence of how and why you used it.
"Every poster has the responsibility to back up claims he makes here or else not make them. "
Most of your post is ad hominem fluff, which I shall ignore. The core of the matter is that Lightwaizard claims that I believe that bashing Bush is equivalent to attacking America.
1. I am saying that I do not believe it.
2. I challenge him to produce any post in which I have ever said it.
I suspect that Lightwizard, whom I have spoken to in other contexts, probably really believed that that was what I meant, but it isn't. You, parados, on the other hand, are simply a liar.
