Some advice: slow down, breathe, and don't assume that everyone is out to get you.

Now, to clarify...you just wrote:

"I did not say selective..." (emphasis added)

Then you went on to quote yourself: "You're damn straight I'll oppose any selective tax break..." (again, emphasis added)

In other words, I quoted you...directly. Don't worry, though, I don't need an apology from you. After all, we're all big boys and girls here, aren't we?

You once again quoted me selectively.

You added an elipsis, and changed the entire meaning of what I said.

I'll try one more time before writing you off compltely as a troll.

There is a world of difference between "selective" (NO elipsis!) and "selective tax break based on skin color, sexual practices, gender, or national origin".

In the first case, "selective" can mean any damn thing you want, including "selective, based on tax paid -- no tax paid, no tax cut".

In the second case, we have a vile, despicable form of bigotry -- the kind of thing that USED to be frowned upon by civilized people in this land.

Suddenly, we have "conservatives" advocating tax cuts based on race -- and, attacking those who object.

You will pardon me while I pick my jaw up from the floor.
