[CatherineofAragon]

"The goal of our enemies is to make every man and woman engage in bad behavior for as long possible, and to make decisions that will result in the highest likelihood of adopting a nontraditional lifestyle. This is what cripples us as a nation."

But if I'm grocery shopping at Kroger and I put a bottle of red wine in my cart, how is the KGB/Vladimir Putin making me do that?

Do you see the problem here with what you're saying?

Now, if there is a miniature KGB man living in the wine shelves at Kroger, sending out gamma rays or something to my brain to convince me to buy wine, I certainly hope he has a pint-sized giraffe with him (like the one in the commercial). Because I would really like to see that.

The use of ridicule and gross exaggeration in a serious discussion reveals a very weak argument.

My suggestion: stop being influenced by the Jon Stewarts of the world and start allowing yourself to think like a serious adult.
