But the funny thing is that you are not bright enough to realize that it may be one of the chief reasons you can't get past square one.
Half the battle of persuasion is charm and personality. Since it seems to be a big void in the world of "superior conservatives", you will likely never advance very much.
If you were close to as wise as you think you are, you would have figured this out long ago.
Which, if you bothered to read it, is almost exactly what I said was Howlin's best point. What I find interesting (probably what you would call "laughable," if the tables were turned), is that you have a tendency to ignore valid arguments and concessions in defense of good for the sake of victory towards the advancement of something bad. That, I shouldn't have to tell you, is no victory.
