I just don't obscure the issue by plastering needless extras on to make myself look better, or more intelligent. I find I do not need to do this overmuch. Less is the new more, D.

That doesn't follow and I meant quite the opposite, as you know. D.

That is, you make no factual claims, it's just rant. You might consider adjusting your ratio of rant to substance. Or not. You keep schooling me Blake, I am here to learn new things. Mostly I learn from my own investigation of posted claims rather than the actual posts. In another thread I thought for a minute that I had learned something new. "A mother" said Germany has "NO income tax." I thought wow, I didn't know that. Learned something new. But I checked, and it's wrong. Oh well. D. --------------------- ps. I am co-founder of the Fayetteville Freethinkers and owner of the site you refer to. I only reference it because I have posted so many thousands of times there and know where my stuff is. The posts I refer to are almost without exception, referenced. Feel free to check them. You might consider providing references for your claims. It's a good habit.

Its you who consistently have your facts wrong, but thats no surprise when you get your facts from the Huffington Post, and freethinkers, etc. When you only go to sites that agree with you, you will only get agreeable facts. I am not familiar with Coulter's quote, but IF you know your Bible as you claim, you know the quote is wrong- I think there was sarcasm involved. You DO know sarcasm, D? Insults, hate, blather and ranting? You choose to feel superior about dragging some liberal half- facts out as if you had an intellect, instead of actually arguing a case on its merits. A lawyers trick, and not even a particularly good one- can't win on the actual, provable facts, baffle them with BS> Talking down to me, D?
