Because I am thoroughly sick and tired of squishing bigots like you.

Calling someone a bigot because you disagree with them is typical of the leftist liberal who resorts to namecalling like "racist", "bigot" when they can no longer hold up their end of a debate. I suggest you find another way to express yourself. If you read the rules of FR, you will see that your remarks are not appropriate in this forum.

Ari-- You know I respect you a great deal, but again I must disagree on the "bigot" comment. The word might have a negative connotation to you, but consider:

Bigot: One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
            --The American Heritage^® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.

Do you not think that describes many here? Is it necessarily a bad thing to be thus? Perhaps it's the connotation of "bigot" that needs to be changed, if being called one is so upsetting to such a partisan and intolerant (another word that's not necessarily bad) crowd.
