...and it doesn't help matters any when you hand them a public example that looks like we're acting in similar fashion.
No, I just state matter of factly that if you act a certain way that can lend creedance to a common, known smeer, you yourself lend creedance to the smeer. It's kinda like the common smeer against Christians that they're all closet perverts because they're so much against pornography. If you go out like Jimmy Swaggert did and get yourself caught twice in the midst of it, the public sits back and goes "AHA!" And you danged know it. But then, you're doing precisely what I've said you do elsewhere. You aren't here to talk, you're here to look for some misstep you can use to try and shut me up because you can't handle the notion that I could be right about something given that I've committed the grave and unredeamable offense of disagreeing with you and the President on free trade. Theres that cultist mentality again.
