My only refutation to the king gambit

I feel no comfort whatsoever when playing the king's gambit and I post to see other refutations that I could possibly use. I just dont think its right for white to have a dominant opening in the game of chess

It is right for white to be dominant from the start of the game.

I think the best move as black is always to accept the gambit.  Opinion of a person who plays this often and has had some great success with both black and white pieces.

3.Bd3 is far from whites best move

I prefer 2. Bc5 as Black's second move:

Well what sort of King Gamiteer would take the pawn?

Try Petroff: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 Nf6

works on other 1. e4 systems as well

Also, I tried this with a lot of success: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 Ne7? 3. fxe5 Nc6 4. Nf3 d6 

It's a counter gambit too, but it all depends on 2. fxe5. Still, without the capture black can manage pretty wel.

i like the kings gambit accepted: fischer defense it involves d6.  i also like to undouble my pawns with a bishop trade on c3

My favorite line in the Kings Gambit happens to be the Muzio Gambit.  Granted with perfect play for white, it leads to a draw, when black in unprepared white can offer quite a bit of an attack.

The King's Gambit is certainly not White's most dominating opening, nor is it impossible for Black to play against it. I actually much prefer Black in this gambit.
