@Profepps@ALEC_states@LarsLarsonShow Also, power corrupts. But absolute power corrupts absolutely. Absolute power is basically govt. -
@WilliamFreeland@ALEC_states@LarsLarsonShow Don't be silly, the American govt does not have "absolute power"; limits spelled out in Const. -
@Profepps@ALEC_states@LarsLarsonShow Shall I start pointing out atrocities committed by the federal government? -
@WilliamFreeland@ALEC_states@LarsLarsonShow Federal atrocities: win 2 world wars,social security, end official segregation, clean air -
@Profepps@ALEC_states Interment camps. Trial of tears. Torture. Sterilization. Slavery. Death of innocents in war. Domestic spying. -
@WilliamFreeland@ALEC_states See previous tweet. Explain to me why the things I cited are bad. -
@Profepps@ALEC_states Follow along, Professor. That's a weak bait and switch. How would you grade your students for such arguments? -
@WilliamFreeland@ALEC_states Again, false condescension instead of argument. BTW, in my class, you're failing: oversimplified, ahistorical. - 3 more replies

@Profepps@ALEC_states Check out you dodging having a weak point. You're quite the academic. Maybe read & get back to me, Prof. -
@WilliamFreeland@ALEC_states Unearned condescension is no subsitute for argumentation, but rather a white flag. I accept your surrender. -
@Profepps@ALEC_states Actually I gave you thoughtful, good faith answers, and you snarked about buzzwords. Hence, seem you raise white flag
