Yeah. The guy lies and lies, constantly repeating my positions with changes and then assaulting the changes. hehe. He rails against Coulter and sounds precisely like her Sodomite counterpart. To be sure, I don't mind being insulted by a Sodomite. But I can't help but point out the hypocrisy.

Whoa, there. If you go back and read the prior posts, you'll find that JP slung the insults fast and hard, and that I was very restrained. Unfortunately, that seems to encourage people like him. They're like the bullies in the schoolyard; at some point, you've got to poke them in the eye. You are stating your opinion as fact Of course I do, as does everyone else. Alternately, we could wrap every sentence in 'IMHO', but that'd be a little tiresome. The author makes all sorts of similar statements. As far as the causality, the point was that the article attempts to show such a causality, and fails. Lack of data or a coherent argument means there is no causality. Otherwise, I could state all sorts of nonsense as fact, and since no one could prove otherwise, it would be true. For example: Bush causes hemorroids. Prove he doesn't. See? Now, if you say that Bush doesn't cause hemorroids, no one questions your logic. But, using JP's logic, the above is perfectly valid.
