Interesting bit of psycho babble. Fatally flawed..but interesting
Frankly Ed..I dont like Liberals because of what they have done to my
country, or what their agendas are.

Frankly, Gunner, I don't think you would recognize most argumentive flaws.
There is no flaw in what I said above. Your tirades, such as the silly sig
you're using now, are indeed dismissive and irredeemably sarcastic and
biting. You're so blinded by your emotional distress that you've thoroughly
demonized anyone who you regard as leftist.

That isn't the behavior of a "reasonable, logical" person, such as you claim
to be. That's the behavior of someone so frustrated that he's half-blind
with rage.

As for what liberals have done to your country, they protected for you free
speech, the right to a fair trial uncoerced by police and prosecutors, the
right to vote, and a few other things that the conservatives of their day
would have denied you.

"Your country," which also is my country, and that of everyone else who
lives here, has been shaped by ideas from both sides of the political
spectrum. You and I and everyone else here has benefitted from the debate
and synthesis of ideas, not from the program of one side or the other. The
history of it is unequivocal.
