Why are they absurd?
The problem is that conservatives (or the rights- or christinas-or whatever the name/flaver of the day is) never do defend themselves. It comes from a world view that is strongly backed up by history and tradition.
Is that the reason for my views? nope. will I debate "neoclassical" economic theory (quotes because that is not a right-on-the-money discription for my opinions and beleifs but close enough) sure.
Do I think it is right? yes.
Will I debate using sources? Sure.
Try to lay out premises that are logically accessable? I think I have and will continue to do so. Logic is good.
You may now commence with the namecalling ..... (or debate if anyone wants to suprise me out of some of my remaining cynicisim)
