so what you are saying, ustwo, is if you dont like the information, it is ok to dismiss the source in with a glib quip or two.
seems to me that you demonstrate the main contention in my post above: that the contemporary populist american right opposes accurate information, opposes complexity, because the arguments they invest in cannot stand up to it. but rather than reconsider the arguments, note the problems, the move is to undermine information itself. and this with cliches, stock phrases, memes: as if those are adequate.
they arent.
and you wonder why folk laugh at conservative argumentation, do not take it seriously.
healer heal thyself.
