<<By constantly insulting every opinion that disagrees with them>>

Okay, let's look at how you deal with people that hold opinions YOU disagree with....

<<annoying right wing is also an obnoxious group>>

Annoying and obnoxious - two insults in one sentence.

<<who want to run recklessly over anyone's rights>>

Two more - reckless and running over people's rights.

<<by being obnoxious, they feel they will sway opinion over to their way of thinking>>

One and a half insults - obnoxious again, and possibly manipulative.

<<show the type of rude people that they seem to be.>>

Yet one more - rude. Every single sentence had at least one insult, and most had two. If constantly insulting every dissenting opinion brings your opponents closer together, why would you want to engage in the same behavior? There have been many attempts by people on both sides of this issue to carry on a thoughtful meaningful discussion, even if it is highly unlikely that anyone's mind will be changed. It's great to have you join in the discussion, and many of your points are interesting, but it would be easier to follow if you didn't keep poking a stick in the hornet's nest by baiting your opponents. We're all guilty of that from time to time - sometimes they just make it so easy <g>!
