"a poor conservative with dyslexia can at least recognize truth and honor when it is present"

Ah, I see, and how am I supposed to derive this fact from your posts that neither respond to a reasoned argument nor construct one? I suppose I will have to take it on faith that your sarchastic non sequiters and little micro-rants portray a deep sense of honor that I so obviously don't have, being an intelligent liberal.

", and beat the stuffing out of self-declared liberal geniuses regularly."
<or at lest bean your chest and declare yourself superior?>

Hmm, I certainly don't claim to be a genius. And I think the only thing you can beat the stuffing out of is a childs toy, at least going on what I have seen of your rhetoric so far.

"I hope that goose egg on your forehead goes down soon."

No, I think alas that the good imagined drubbing you have given me will never depart the shores of my fragile ego. Wounded am I all the days of my life, that EBNelson did drop such rough language on my poor soul. Thank you so much for so roundly refuting all my arguments and stomping my facts with such keen use of research. When I am up against views so deeply researched, well constructed and expertly read as yours, how can I even hope to triumph?

"Ice might help."

Yes, thank you. I will have some in my sour mash bourbon...

Best wishes
