Let's see if I understand what you said. I like to stick to known facts, truth, logic & open, honest debate. I have no qualms exposing lies & deceit with verifiable facts. By doing so, it means I am dismissing the other person. Therefore debate with me is impossible.

Methinks there is something inherently wrong with that faulty supposition.

Now am I less pompous by placing methinks in the second paragraph......... or is ridicule an automatic response to opposing POV's?

I'd think it was humorous if it wasn't such a common tactic by allegedly highly educated, intelligent, mature adults. Why they desperately & unwaveringly cling to their political POV & zealously buy into all the obvious demagoguery from the spin machine that party leadership relentlessly spews is beyond my comprehension. These are same people who claim their party is the "peoples party", with shared values about diversity, helping the less fortunate, human rights, civil rights, justice, individual rights, equality, the common good, political correctness, etc.

Why is it that name calling, hate, ridicule & the politics of personal destruction is the first & primary tactic used rather than healthy, honest debate? You can't see the painfully obvious here?

You've made me the bad guy without even trying to find where we might differ, or heaven forbid, where I might be right or have a legitimate POV. You've resorted to name calling, ridicule & demeaning me as a person from the first words you posted to me to the last.

And like your peers on the far left, you are certain you have won the debate, upheld the core values of your party & exposed me as a typical right wing lunatic......

BYW I am a centrist contrary to your & other severely flawed perceptions. I just have this thing about liars, hate mongers & hypocrites.

And you call me pompous!?!?!
