You are civil and deserve to be treated with respect. I disagree with you, but appreciate your point of view.
Thanks for that. Over the course of this ever-expanding thread, I've come to realize one of the essential problems of the far-right (FP) talking to the far-ish left (me). It's sort of like trying a court case where the prosecution and the defense have entirely different sets of evidence.
There are things that Freepers believe and conclusions you've come to based on sources and core ideology that I don't subscribe to. There is a massive disconnect between the two perceptions of what the political realities are.
And of course it doesn't help that both sides tend to scream at one another because they perceive the other as either dangerously ignorant or intentionally villainous.
There should be some sort of middle ground website between FP and Daily Kos or Democratic Underground, where only an agreed upon set of conclusions are allowed as admissible evidence.
Unfortunately, I think that site would end up having a single post that would read something like:
Michael Phelps swims good.
