Seems you have a kindred spirit with your peers leaning far left. You prefer attack to debate, name calling over civil discourse & spew hate when one dares to opine anything that differs from your inflexible POV. Why discuss differences when ridicule & name calling can stifle a differing POV? The politics of personal destruction rules! BTW, my posting history seems to be clearly at odds with your inaccurate observation. I can be relentlessly persistent when I choose, but I have not chosen to do so for many, many months. In that time you have been completely silent while quite a few of your peers have been relentlessly & persistently polluting this & other threads you follow...... posting at a rate far in excess than I have ever exhibited on SI...... but their venom filled, hate induced, bile laced propaganda & politics of personal destruction they have spread came from the left...... thus the silent approval. Unfortunately, you only see my persistence when I am exposing someone's persistent lies, blatant deceit & obvious demagoguery with facts, logic, truth & honesty. And you claim I say the stupidest stuff on SI :-Man the truth just ain't what it used to be, 'eh? "It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it." -Jeseph Joubert "The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it." - George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) "Men occasionally stumble on the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." --Sir Winston Churchill
