I’m done playing.

Talking down to those who disagree with you and who provide examples to support their positions is what most “liberals” do.

And also I don’t think you’re as knowledgeable about the Schiavo and Gonzalez cases as you think you are — but that’s just me responding to your rudeness.

Why do you think the governor or the president should have broken the law to save the woman from dehydration? I can understanding wanting to save her life, but is the law just a triviality that we can ignore when it suits us? The fact is that corrupt Florida courts killed her and there's not a damn thing anyone could have done to prevent that.

I don’t think I was talking down to anyone. I was careful to say playing stupid rather outright calling someone stupid. Because that’s what I meant: juxtaposing a father with a gun to his son’s head with a husband allowing doctors to kill his wife is a stupid, stupid argument.

I don’t know what you think I know, but I am knowledgeable enough to know that what I said about Schiavo, at least, is accurate. I think many on our side forgot the particulars as soon as it left the headlines, and all they remember is that one side wanted her to die and the other didn’t. Assuming that’s fair, well, I’m the type of conservative who thinks you don’t get your desired end by any means necessary, if for no other reason than I don’t want liberals to do the same. Who cares about the law, a woman’s life is at stake!” could easily turn into, “Who cares about constitutional rights, children’s lives are at stake!” as reason for abridging gun rights.

All I said about Gonzales was that it was an immigration issue and that the president and attorney general sent in stormtroopers. I don’t know how any of that could be misinformed.
