Thanks. For now I'll have to take your word that his position is identical to yours, since I did not listen to his show.

Don't worry about my ego, I long since stopped caring.

and don't talk about things you really ( and I mean REALLY!) know about.

I presume you meant things I didn't know about. In this case I have read the constitution, and the agreement, and I have listened to hours of discussion by the participants in the agreement and political and legal pundits. I have then applied my own reasoning to that input, and rendered an opinion.

I never said I was an expert. But to eliminate any confusion: I am not an expert in constitutional law. I am not a lawyer, nor do I work in the legal profession. My views on the constitution are based on my ability to read and comprehend english.

Nice thing about FR: Anybody can go look at everything I have written here since I joined, and decide for themselves whether my reasoning seems to be grounded in fact, or is simply loopy.

I could be wrong about my opinion in this matter. I am stubborn enough that I won't change my position simply because others tell me that Mark Levin says different. I could be persuaded by a cogent argument as to what in this agreement is unconstitutional. That would also I think be more useful to the group then simply stating that "Mark Levin Said So".

I've never been one to accept arguments by authority. Even when the Doctor tells me something, I ask for an explanation, and do my own research.

I never called you arrogant; your far worse than that. You're a supercilious prig, verbose, and an egotist.

I am egotistical. I also am overly verbose. I rarely use 50 words when 100 will do :->

However, I reject the label "supercilious prig", and in my non-expert opinion anybody who knows what those words mean would not apply them to me in this exchange.

supercilious: Feeling or showing haughty disdain

prig: A person who demonstrates an exaggerated conformity or propriety, especially in an irritatingly arrogant or smug manner.

Actually, I was referring to your arguing with a surgeon, when I suggested that you shouldn't really attempt to debate topics , when you know little to nothing about it/them. There are some topics, that no matter how much you read about them, you will never be able to be in a position to debate with someone who REALLY knows what's what.

As to your ego.......you care.......YOU REALLY CARE, no matter what you claim to the contrary. LOL

You most assuredly come off as being supercilious!

As re "prig" you needed to dig deeper into the meaning of the word. It also means : fussiness about trivialities, exaggerated propriety, esp. in a self-rightious/irritating manner.This shoe also fits you. It's your posting tone of voice.
