Liberals are America-Hating, racial card playing, UN-appeasing tree-huggers who because they can not manage their own money want to manage yours through income redistribution.
Sadly I can find a post where every one of these insults was thrown. THAT is why I stopped posting.

and within that, the machinery of argumentation shaped by the machinery of repetition doesnt seem a generative as it has in the past.

Precisely. I think Charlatan was right when he stated that we are having sort of a letdown from the election.
