It's a bit daunting, but in here, where ridiculousness and spite reign, it's a waste to even engage you with logically built arguments--you don't reponds except with name calling and diversion. Your attention span slides like you claim your deity's does--as if it isn't constrained by spatial cause and effect. Following that, you have no real concept of which argument does or must precede the other, likewise for causal factors. You warp conclusions into premises and vice versa, retrospectively reinterpreting the past along with justifications that never were.

Absolutely correct.
I am also very concerned that the fringe elements (read: illogical trains of thought) of the conservatives have been pushed into the mainstream - creating an environment of debate which leads to nothing but complete nonsense.
When the most vocal of conservative voices on TFP consistently practices that which he consistently lambasts - blindness due to partisanship - and if he becomes to foundation of conservative debate - the entire process of conservative/liberal debate towards better understanding is fundamentally destroyed.
We need one less Ustwo and one more irateplatypus around here.
