Okay, rather than shrug my shoulders and move on, I'll try to clear up some of the enigma here. First, Island, it sounds like maybe you're wondering "Why should the republican legislators listen to the EXTREME left?" Is this the question? Or is it "Why should republican legislators listen to the extreme left posters on the Pelicanparts BBS Ot Forum?" Or is it "Why should the republican legislators listen to the LEFT?" Or is it "Why should I, Island, listen to the EXTREME left?" Or is it "Why should I, Island, listen to the extreme left on the Pelicanparts BBS OT Forum?"

Here is your leadoff post:

"Govenator Schwarzenegger recently volleyed this statement/question.

I think he may have a point; Just what are the losers bringing to the table?

Is it the brilliance of "The unteachable ignorance of the red states" ?

.. .Or perhaps it's the ficticious "State-by-State IQ map" ?

Here on this board, we even have the losers angerly comparing our President to Hitler, as a means to paint him as a facist. (in an apparent effort to ease their need to hate the guy)

So really, Just what are the losers bringing to the table?"

And here is your response to my post:

"Well, if you would be so kind to sacrifice some time TO READ THE POST before responding to something else . . ..you would read that I was applying those words to the extreme left here, on this BBS, who give us very little reason to listen to them.

Your repeated glib 'I don't have time to read/understand this post . . . but now you listen to me' strengthens my point."

In your last reply, I see that you meant to narrow "left" to mean only Pelicanhead extreme lefties. Your reference to Pelicanheads in your leadoff post appears to be an illustrative example, not the question itself. Just getting a grip on what you're trying to say, which has not been easy for me.

And as far as the value of the input offered by Pelicanhead extreme lefties (I'm going to assume, and hope, that you would include me in this group), I would offer this:

There are people here who get no value from it whatsoever, and I think you're one of them. So, It's probably a very relevant question for you. There are folks who continue, no matter how many times they are corrected, to pretend that we're saying something we're not saying. For example it would be easy for me to elicit another "Kerry wants to ask France's permission to defend America" from you or any number of other conservatives here.

So for some people, it kinda makes no difference whether we post here or not. Again, that would include you in my humble opinion. So, it's a legitimate question for you. But there are others here who can have moments of "Ah hah!" when they finally notice what someone else is saying and they notice that there may be a grain of truth to it, even though it is not what they already believe.

Now, that would answer your question if you were one of those people.
