It is apparent to even the casual reader of this thread that you have been put in your place. You join other insignificant ankle-biters, such as Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul, who, like Scrooge on Christmas morning, count your pennies and kick your suffering fellow Americans to the curb.
You and the other Constipationists on this thread, by your own words, continue to shrink your constituency and marginalize yourselves even further.
"My place" ??
I'm just a guy with an opinion. I'm not here to insult others or to attempt to prove any sort of superior intellect.
If you feel better believing that I in any way want to "kick anyone to the curb", go ahead.
However, I can continue to rest easy knowing that I am true to my own beliefs and though unpopular as they may be, I have arrived at them through the best application of logic and reason as my brain can manage.
As for the number of others who agree with me, I can again only point to the valiant minority of colonists willing to step up and challenge the British army. They too were once a relatively "insignificant" group of men at one time thought of as foolish ideologues.
Hopefully you can recognize that the darkness you perceive to be in my heart is nothing but a projection of that which is within yourself, as evidenced by the tone of your commentary.
