No, my contribution is pointing out that Egypt’s scheduled elections are not in jeopardy, something that Greta is incapable of seeing at this point in time due to her low IQ.

Alas, posting the truth offends many. Most people prefer facts to be “softened” to be considered acceptable.

Perhaps Greta, who with her "low IQ" has managed to carve out quite a niche for herself as both and attorney and a broadcaster, simply disagrees. Yeah, yeah, I know. Being a broadcaster or an attorney does not guarantee a high IQ. The "facts" you mentioned will overwhelm opinion in time. Her opinion may be proven wrong and she may be right. The same is true for yours or anyone else's opinion.

Although I saw only opinion in you posts. And ad hominem attacks. And that, FRiend is the truth. Not "softened". An insult does not make the truth more acceptable. It makes it harder for someone to receive it.

Perhaps we ought to ask Sarah Palin what her opinion of Greta's IQ is? After all, I don't think anyone has interviewed Sarah more than Greta. And I am sure it isn't because Greta is an idiot. Maybe it is because she is fair.

Newheart why are you going after Southack? He’s a tremendous contributor for over a decade. Cut him some slack, we all need to blow off some steam now and then. Many of us remember when Greta was accepting money from the treason networks and consistently bashed our country. If she gets an occasional verbal backhand here, she probably earned it.

Pretty simple answer. I have also been a contributor since 1998. (See my "About" page if the mouse-over puzzles you.) I imagine that both of you and I would agree on probably 90% of everything. Since 1998 I have seen an unnecessary increase in the technique of simply ridiculing those with whom we disagree. A fine Alinskyesque tactic. Regrettably I have even done it myself at times.

But it is my opinion, that the time-honored method of humorlessly insulting one's opponent, as opposed to making the effort to engage in reasoned dialogue, is more appropriate to those on the Daily Kos, or HuffPo or even the MSM. I may be mistaken, but I think the average Freeper is a little better than that.

If she gets an occasional verbal backhand here, she probably earned it.

At least have the courtesy to tell her to "put some ice on that."
