Given the depth of your brilliant and detailed analysis, who can argue?

Do you live in a trailer? In the south no doubt.

After four years of blogging, and before that, 6 years of active posting on Freerepublic, I have not once received E-mail from a lefty that challenged me on substance.  Not once.  I'm not suggesting that my personal views are transcendent, or even competently presented, just that they are not challenged  specifically by leftist canker blossoms. Your mileage may differ, but I doubt it.  Mr. Turner, in just a few words, manages to exemplify the liberal beast in its entirety. 
  • supercilious
  • contumelious
  •  grand sense of entitlement
  • megalomaniacal
  • condescending
  • reliance on ad hominem attack when cornered, or frustrated.
Jerry Fallwell's tiny Liberty University fields a debate team that is consistently among the nation's best, winning the collegiate debate title outright in 2003.  I will admit to never having attended a debate tailgate party, but whenever the New York Times and fellow travelers attack someone's success [Liberty University Debate Champions?], it is almost certainly because their world view is threatened in some way. [Begin the WAVE]. I don't know whether formal debate teams get points off for using lies and evasion, but when it comes to the public debate liberals are incapable of competing without thus resorting.  Goes to being protected by the media for 50 years, and never having to say ''I'm a mammering, flap-mouthed maggot pie.''

So true Rog, so true. The last debate(argument) I got into with 2 lefties about Iraq, it immediately degenerated to personal attacks on W. I tried to steer the dicussion back to the merits of our efforts there when the female exclaimed "God, how I miss Bill Clinton!"

Kid you not. It's hopeless.

I once was in the habit of buying books that I felt presented the
conservative viewpoint in sensible fashion, and had them delivered to lefty friends. At a dinner party, a recipient of one of these books said that, while she found the facts presented therein unassailable, she still wasn't going to believe them. I am not making that up. I gave up then and there.

Ho ho ho. After the Pussification essay was published, I got about half a dozen angry emails from, I suppose, metrosexuals, all threatening to come over to my place and beat me up.

My response was the same to all of them: "I'm too old to get into brawls. If you want to fight me, bring a gun, because I'm going to."

Not one person ever responded.

In nearly five years of blogging, not ONE liberal has ever presented a rational argument to me. Insult and condescension, and that's pretty much it.

How... French, although I suppose to them that's not an insult.

Another reason to dislike them.

About three years ago, I stopped trying to reason with "liberals" and "progressives". It's like talking to a wall, or someone from Outer Fucking Mongolia.

These days I just swear a lot and mock them mercilessly.

Clinton lived in the south but his heart and mind was in Hyannis Port.
