You wrote, “For his firm stance on the federal government abiding by the Constitution, he remains one of the few decent politicians in my opinion. What is it exactly about the Constitution that you don’t support?”

A does not lead to B here, and is representative of the tack you’ve taken throughout. Any attempt to follow the logic of that statement takes one to an immediate dead end.

Ron Paul is a 9-11 Truther. A ‘decent politician’ is not one who believes the attacks on our country by Islamic extremists were part of a vast US governmental conspiracy. By doing so, he immediately discredits himself and all those who support him, in whole or in part. The BNP in Britain is a bastion of neo-facists. The author of the article you posted wouldn’t know a conservative from a carrot. Endorse the author’s views and you make yourself suspect as a fellow-traveler, in the very least.

I won’t go tit-for-tat with a conspiracy theorist. It’s like arguing with a neo-confederate about ‘The War of Northern Aggression’. What I will do, as I have done, is call you and others like you out and force you to defend your position with something approaching rational discourse. Admittedly, it is difficult to remain emotionally detached when dealing with someone holding paranoid, deranged, and/or repugnant ideas, but I don’t apologize for that, either. One should get angry when dealing with defenders of 9-11 conspiracy theories, for example. One should make such people objects of unbridled ridicule and sarcasm. Such people should know the derisive laughter they hear when leaving a room is at them, not with them.

It’s been fun.

That's the trouble. You're lying about me. You're pretending I have adopted positions that I have not adopted, and I won't defend those positions because they are not mine. I've said that, repeatedly. I've said it on this thread. I said it before you ever posted those lies about me and insulted me.

I absolutely will - and have - defended Paul's domestic policy and criticized him where he deserves criticism. I've also said repeatedly I don't endorse the opinion of this author.

I won’t go tit-for-tat with a conspiracy theorist.

Demostrate from my posts where I'm a conspiracy theorist. Demonstrate from my posts where I'm an anti-semite. You won't because you can't.

You are simply wrong in the things you've said about me. You can't prove that you're right because there is absolutely no evidence to support the accusations you've made. But instead of doing the decent and honorable thing, you repeat the accusations.

If the things you say about me were true, so be it. But your insults are based on lies created by you.

You owe me an apology. Prove your accusations against me instead of simply repeating them or apologize.

I don't disagree with you in your opinion about the 9/11 truthers or anti-semites. I do think you're a dispicable person because of your over-inflated ego and inability to admit you've made a mistake.

Why, if I am an anti-semite or a 9/11 Truther, wouldn't I attempt to defend those positions? Why would I beg you to search through my posting history to prove it?

I assure you, any position I take I am more than happy and more than willing to defend.

You're just a nasty liar who's only looking for a pissing contest.

Apologize.
