Scott,
How bullheadedly DENSE are you going to be? You only seem to be this stupid when
answering Larry's posts, I think it's time you at least try to engage your brain
before answering any posts from him...

SO WHAT?!?
Larry has repeatedly stated that while he is a Libertarian, he doesn't agree with
the LP on many things.
How many times does he have to say that he doesn't toe the line 100% with the LP
before it sinks into your thick skull?
And why does this context do anything to affect the fact that there is no
inconsistency with what Larry was saying? It does not, it's just you wasting
everyone's time again, digging at something that has absolutely nothing to do with
the issue.

What, exactly, is your point?
Larry has repeatedly mentioned that he doesn't agree with the sanctions, but he
doesn't think the US should take the blame for them, SH should. Is this really so
hard for you to grasp? Are you that dense?
WHO CARES whether he agrees with Mr Raimondo or not? He's already said he doesn't
agree with sanctions, so the results of the sanctions don't really matter (as far
as Larry's feelings), do they?
I won't apologize for being blunt or rude to you. You have proven over and over
again that, while you may be well educated, you can be blindingly stupid about the
simplest statements. I'm so tired of you beating deceased equines on Larry's
posts, especially when his opinions/stands on many points are so abundantly clear
to anyone else that can read.
I sure hope this kill filter in Messenger works...
