hmm... is that this new 'hyperbole' thing i've just heard about? (oy vey, there i go again!) because otherwise, you're quite inaccurate.
sarcastic comments: #5 - in response to a sarcastic comment made by someone else. #23 - not really sarcastic other than the line wrapping it up, far from used in appropriately. #61 - very glib and sarcastic, crossing the line? don't know. directed at all conservatives? no. probalby should have been clearer that it was meant for one person, seeing as how it was going off a post directed at that person. upon being shown to be incorrect about things he said, and having other information given that he appearantly chose to ignore, i posted a parody of what i've interpreted his position as. disagree with me? that's your decision.

): #13, #18, #20, #23 (other than last line), #53, #55. if you care to know what they're about, feel free to go back and read them.

It is how the left MUST reframe their failed polcies. Without glibness or insults they have nothing but failures.

hmm... so if you don't like the joke, then it must be glib and insulting? feel free to shoot the messenger (figuratively!), but that doesn't mean that the message is bad (and that there isn't a better messange out there).

With glibness and insults they try to create scaapegoats...one who won't spend enough or steal from the successful enough. Someone has to be demonized...it certainly can't be their failures.

and who are we scapegoating? i have scapegoated anyone. i haven't demonized anyone. i haven't made any claims about people not spending enough or that they shoudl steal. mind clueing me in to how you came to this conclusion?

Personal responsibility be damned.

personal responsibility's been dead, or near-dead, for quite awhile. and both sides are to blame. but i fail to see what personal responsibilty has to do with AA.
anyways, i think i'm gonna bow out of this debate. seems to me nothing is going to be said one way or another that will make anyone even give a second consideration to their prior beliefs. if you can't even read posts that disagree with you to see that they are not all 'glib and sarcastic,' then i don't think there's any point in keeping the veneer or a discussion/debate going. that's kinda the point that post. thank you for confirming it for me.
