“The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself”.

Reminds me of how I used to play chess. Make no mistakes, develop my board and wait for my opponent to make a mistake. They always made mistakes.

I have never seen online commenters that are liberal in such “dufus” mode.

You provide them with legitimate non-partisan sources to make your point and they just are FREAKING out.

But I must say... the media is FINALLY providing some of these citations.

I feel like I’m in a video game (though I don’t play them) and where as in the past I’d go to the internet weapons cave and find NOTHING... and come out with some sharp toothpick from something Krugman said:

http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/death-panels-and-sales-taxes/?_r=0

Now...I am on the field of battle and I go into the internet weapons cave and there are ALL KINDS of weapons there.

I have never been a very good Chess Player.

For some reason I can’t understand the motives of someone that is out to win.

Poker, on the other hand is something that I’m very good at.

I seem to have an ability to read people under conditions that are similar, but are expressed in a different way.
