E knew exactly what she/he was doing. This is standard liberal tactics right out of the WH playbook. You demonize your opponent when you begin to lose the argument and logic begins to prevail. JLA

I am not a liberal. Why did you call me one? Because you no longer have to think about what I say if you do that? Just wondering. Our mindsets do not differ in "the most minor ways," I assure you. They differ morally, ethically, and philosophically. Your beliefs are morally repugnant to me. And I believe they are dangerous to our country. This is not a minor deviation in mindset. Well, let's see if my application of the word "totalitarian" to your expressed view is fair. I used the word to mean the authoritarian subordination of the individual to the state and strict control of all aspects of life. And it seemed clear to me that was what you were advocating when you said you would advocate that the American government should force all female American citizens to live by your definition of the split cell as a "human being" and be required by the government to carry them in their uteruses until they are no longer microscopic cells.... In fairness, there may be, unbeknownst to me, some "aspects of life" you think too personal and intimate for the government to be personally coercive and authoritarian and strictly controlling about! But... I can't really think of a single "aspect of life" more personal and intimate than the one you advocate the government "force" women to do. c.horn, don't fight it. You believe the government should control and coerce all women according to your stipulated definition of what a "split cell" is. That is a very, very extreme and terrifying position. You want the government to FORCE millions of women to live by your definitions and rules where their uteruses are concerned. Force, force, force, force, force, by the government, to carry split cells in their usteruses until they turn into babies. You have no pity. You have only a fanatic's desire to coerce and control, using the power of government. What do you call that level and degree of authoritarianism? Give me a better word, I'll use that one instead. "Totalitarians" and "authoritarians" always believe they are right. It's the forcing of their beliefs on others with the power of government that earns them those labels. No come on and tell us that you do have pity. Tell us about it, c.horn.
