Your reminder of his ignorance will not lead him to a personal epiphany nor cause him to stop shooting from the hip because of the consequent embarrassment it creates. The approach will only cause him more frustration, which leads to more anger creating more dependence on the effacing cloak of party membership.
It's the same logic that created the "pass word question" solution to the forgotten password.
I did no such thing. I said, "You are probably right," regarding your admonishment that such was unproductive toward changing their thinking. Such is not my goal.

Frankly, I don't think such capable of either embarrassment or redirection; they're too arrogant and too busy sucking up to the hierarchy to develop independent thought, but it might just get them to cut and run when I show up. They often do. :-)

I want this ilk to avoid this forum and its eeeevil conservative intellectuals entirely, instead of dominating FR threads with their cheerleading, sniping, and character assassination devoid of factual support. Allowing them to rant convinces lurking party wigs that conservatives are stupid sheep to be cowed easily and deprives lurkers of ammunition. So (seeing as nobody is knocking down my door for political consultation services I would probably do for free), I just go for what seems appropriate.
Just one more time, please, please, PLEEEEASE?
I just can't help it... sob!
