I guess by not saying what you are really thinking makes you more conservative and supportive of the troops. Actually, it seems to make you look like you have a lack of confidence in your beliefs. You would have been seen in a more positive light by our group if you stuck to your original statements and argued them, even if we disagreed with you. As an educator, you should have run rings around our side of the "debate".

That was a joke, in reply to concretebob's #217!
Dr. R, I tried to share the source of where I got the idea that conservatives believe in reasoned discourse and I'm condescending?
I tried to explain to people that I'm simply trying to discuss an honest question I've had for awhile and I'm condescending?
I tried to show people that I don't just sit on my ass at the computer (thereby REALLY exposing myself to abuse) and I'm condescending?
