It's clear you've given in to the holier than thou attitude. It's preachy, and it's not noble.

So now we're stupid because we disagree with you.

And I say again, you aren't a founder. I'v never rolled over for anything in my life, and the idea that you can sit there at your computer and judge all the brilliant people on TFP is silly. I recognize that many people on TFP are smarter than me in many ways. I wish you'd do the same. Thinking you're the smartest person in the room often leads to you becoming the least listened to. That's happening right now, right here. If you cut the condescension and patriotic mumbo jumbo, people would be more likely to listen to you. If you stopped pretending like you're Captain America and we're all good germans, people might listen to you. Look at Longbough. He and I have fundamentally opposed views of guns and the second amendment. Does he condescend to me? Absolutely not. We have had several respectful dialogues about the subject and, while we didn't leave in agreement, we left with mutual respect.

This coming from someone who interprets the 9th amendment as covering the right to drive your Buick? Give me a break. My opinion, that I wouldn't dare force on anyone, about guns vs. your "we have the inalienable freedom to drive, and anyone who disagrees with me is stupid"?
