To: Maelstorm

My hat is off to you, Maelstorm. In first and said it all. Nail has met hammer.

Yep. At first, I wondered why he posted this, then I saw why.

It pissed me off reading it. To be honest, it pissed me off from this very first sentence: “Moral principles do more harm than good...”

I have said this about liberals and their message for a long time: If you understand how they speak, you don’t need to read a five page bloviating dissertation. You can often tell in the first several words exactly what they are going to say.

This has added years to my life that I otherwise would have never got back. Granted this approach had two drawbacks: It fails in about 5% of the time because the writer is clever enough not to give themselves away too quickly, and it makes one susceptible to falling for satire (See John Semmons...)

But once you recognize their patterns...it makes life easy...:)
