You want to keep up the debate because you enjoy it. Not because of any injustice you believe has been done to Todd Akin.
I seriously doubt you are a conservative, or you would not be denying that I am entitled to my own opinions. You would not try to deny me the right to express those opinions on an open forum.
Let me assure you that I am not a worthy opponent in your debate. I am past my prime mentally, which is what I think is Todd Akin’s problem. I am quite a bit older than Akin, but I am not running for the senate.
I think a younger person would not have made such a mistake.
Is that honest enough for you?
This conversation is over.
You may be “past your prime mentally,” but your conceit is certainly in full vigor.
You’re happy to “make up” reasons why i debate on behalf of Todd Akin, but you’ll neither concede to my point, nor answer my question, either of which would end my conflict with you.
I don’t suppose it ever occurred to you I might just dislike good people (Todd Akin) getting hammered by “useful idiots.”
In my home we have a saying, “You can ask for my help, or tell me what to do: you don’t get to have both.” Obviously, you are the sort that wants both. You’ll admit to a diminished mental capacity, but whatever you reason mentally is still supposed to be treated as fact.
Nonsense! That’s “heads I win, tails you lose” if I’ve ever heard it. You don’t get to criticize someone for not agreeing “two plus two equals five” then have your criticism go unchallenged by claiming “it’s my opinion.”
As the saying goes, “You have the right to your own opinion; you don’t have the right to your own facts.” (And you have the gall to impugn *my* conservatism for not treating your opinion as if it were fact?)
This conversation may be over, but it’s nothing but your own petulance ending it.
