What exactly does BS mean these days? That means lies, and in this case a series of lies but that's OK. Rather than refute you belittle.
Why mention FM radio at all, if it wasn't meant as a slight against sources. Just because? Seriously.
You use the term shotgun blast because you do not like my approach on this, period.
So you ignore a simple apology and olive branch. Instead you continue with yet more insults and accusations.
If "BS" is too confusing, try shotgun blast of "Baloney," "Malarkey," or "Nonsense." That's my observation of your behavior and my opinion of it. Your style of discourse is echoed on AM right wing radio every day, it goes like this:
1. Make a series of bold black and white proclamations that sound right. Example, "The US is just like Europe" "Europe is doomed." Therefore, "The US is doomed." (never mind we don't even speak the same languages, or have the same energy policies, party systems, or tax systems)
2. Simplify the issue even more and blame it on liberals, especially Obama. Use buzz words like "socialist" "nanny state" "welfare state" etc. Example: "The welfare state needs continuous population growth to survive" Repeat 1-2 on several different topics in one post.
3. Explain what liberals think. Summarize their position in black and white terms that look really stupid. Example, "All you want to do is punish a successful company." Not my position at all. I'm just more concerned with our federal deficit, Exxon doesn't need financial assistance, and their product needs to be phased out eventually. Ironically, AM radio screens liberals off their shows quite effectively, but somehow they know exactly what all liberals think.
4. Claim that people are not addressing one of these points you stated, preferably a point that's buried in a link somewhere. Imply they are afraid or they can't think of a rebuttal to that one point, therefore you must be right. This also conveniently redirects the discussion off the main topic.
5. Repeat 1-4 on as many topics as fast as possible. WWII, Europe, Subsidies, Hollywood, Subsidies, Poor Oil Companies, Obama, subsides, etc. Bury everyone in piles and piles of BS and wear them down. It's simple bullying. One by one everyone gives up exhausted. I will too, so you will "win" by attrition. Congratulations, your certificate is in the mail.
There's one thing that they do on the radio that you can't do on an internet forum. When an intelligent opposing voice gets through the call screener somehow, they cut off the mic. Then the host rambles on until you forget what the person said, then cut to commercial. When they return, conservative caller after caller comments on how stupid that person was. Well, you can wear everyone down with steps 1-5 and declare some type of victory, but you can't cut the mic and you can't delete our posts. People can see what's going on, but very few people care to read 7 pages of shotgun blast BS. In between this nonsense, I'm trying to add some cool stuff about solar energy, the topic of the thread. This is cutting edge technology and it will change the world. Even George W. Bush and Barry Goldwater Jr. are on board. It's okay, let go, we'll survive and prosper.
The hypocrisy of being so deathly afraid of subsidies for solar energy is glaring against your support for subsidizing Exxon Mobil. Debating about net profit to claim Exxon is not making record profits, claiming every company gets oil and gas subsidies, and crying that taxpayers are "punishing" oil and gas companies for not wanting to give them $4 billion in tax breaks every year? The contradiction is obvious.
