It was never intended as a personal insult. You just felt it was a personal insult. It was a difference of opinion. I I never feel personally insulted if someone disagrees with me on anything, or even if someone calls me an asshole. I simply don't care what other people think of me. I am only interested in the ideas. I was one of the very first to point out Obama's administration was not following his rhetoric. I caught hell for it, but now it is more or less considered a truism. Someone had to point that out and take the heat. I and Wharfrat were among the first. Thank god for Wharfrat as I was carrying a very heavy load by myself until he came along and backed me up. In the 60's we had a saying blowing their mind (to get through their bubble). People often get upset with me, but they also quite often remember the point I am making. I think certain people appear more threatening than others. I notice Steve Lokness gets the most rebuttles of anyone on this thread, because he is the most moderate and such a nice guy and people debate off his ideas. I expect as many people agree with me as you on all the issues presented here. I just don't get as upset as you when they don't.
