CUT THE PATTY-CAKE CRAP! | 2007-10-24

By the patty-cake crap I mean the stuff you would address to a kid. For instance, "You only favor those who agree with you because you can't stand criticism."

Where the HELL do you think I've BEEN the last fifty years? I value your thoughtful criticism because many times you represent a unique point of view. But most of it is what I have heard – LITERALLY – hundreds of times before.

I am looking primarily for extensions of my thinking. This "constructive criticism" and "devil's advocate" horseshit I do not address. I am not in this for money and I am not in this for my health – ask my doctors. I am in this because I have something to offer.

NO ONE takes criticism and apologizes for his mistakes more than I do, but there is a LIMIT.

Someone asked me to give sources for my Che quotes. That was covered in Stormfront – by others. That is covered in Google. I WILL NOT DO YOUR RESEARCH FOR YOU. That is patty-cake crap.

I am bad at remembering examples, so I'll pick on Simmons' latest comment. The second I saw he was saying we should get the liberals first I knew he had missed my whole point. Why? Because that point has been missed a hundred times before the same way.

Then there are bitches about my attitude. If they are novel and important, I'll pay attention to them, but usually it is same old stuff.

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS NEW HERE.

Cut the patty-cake crap.
