"From NJ's profile:"

In other words, "I can't argue against his points, so I'll take character assassination for 800, Alex."

"Oh, and NJ, let me help you clean up the quote at the bottom of your profile's narcissistic blather so you won't look quite so silly:"

You cross out one proper name and replace it with another when both work perfectly well. That's not a "clean up". As for me looking "so silly", I've yet to see anyone even begin to argue successfully against that post, but have seen plenty of folks enjoy reading it very much.

As a side note, I find it unsettling that so many Freepers as of late have taken to the DU tactic of attacking the messenger instead of arguing the message. These petty insults and character attacks do nothing to advance a point, and do nothing to further discussion. This is a discussion forum, not a childrens' playground.

Are you really so uninformed that you believe that the "proper names" Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States are interchangble?

What are you arguing for/against .. I haven't seen any cognizant arguments coming from your direction ... unless you're referring to the brilliance of posting concrete sources that can be checked - like

For what it's worth, a small number of news organizations carried a story out of... India, maybe?, a few weeks ago

or sound reasoning like

I'm reaching a point where I have no problem rounding up and interrogating anyone who shows up at these protests holding threatening signs or shouting blatant threats. They should be rounded up, their homes and offices searched, and they should be put on watch lists. In addition, they should be registered like sex offenders as they are just as much a potential threat to their community.

and tell me please, while you're at it, how quoting your own profile page is character assassination?

Would you like some cheese with your whine?

As a final message, let me disabuse you of your delusional opinion of yourself.
Let me list a few obvious things.
Some "ideas" and "messages" are not worth wasting the time responding to.
Your phrases, like "DU tactic", continually employ the very technique you are condemning, the certain sign of an immature and inconsistent mind.

Finally the refutation of your delusional " I've yet to see anyone even begin to argue successfully against that post, is most suited to a bright jr. highschooler. No educated and informed adult would waste time with such a trivial problem.

Other than that, you are right.

Again, have a nice day.

Ummmmm, you might want to discover the differences between the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution, before you publicly assert that they are the same document.

Hint: One was written before we defeated England in the Revolutionary War (not to be confused with the Civil War)...
