Tell you what, since you know me so well, why don't you go ahead and have the argument by yourself. I'm not sure who you think I am or what you think I believe other than what I have written. I never said this, for instance:
He's all in favor of that right — as long as it's never applied to Republicans. Democrats, on the other hand, are to be called unpatriotic if they use the wrong fork at dinner. Remember, kiddies: any description of the actual effects of Republican policies is "the politics of personal destruction", and calling Democrats traitors and child-rapists is "speaking truth to power".
That's all you. I was disagreeing with a fictional president's statement, then arguing that the ACLU only cares about some civil liberties, not all. I finished up with my personal feelings about socialism. Believe it or not, I can be well-read, educated, and intellgent, and still believe socialism is wrong and inherently antithetical to what I call freedom. You are entirely welcome to disagree with it and discuss it rationally, but at this point you are making personal attacks and putting words in my mouth. I'm not worth your time? I couldn't be happier.
The sad thing is, we actually have a lot in common despite your vitriol toward my position. I play in two Vampire MET larps, I've played Mage, I love In Nomine, we read a lot of the same webcomics, and there is little that is cooler than Trogdor. I feel like you're picturing this right-wing nutcase on the other side of the web, and that just isn't me. I hate the Wo(s)D, I'm pro-choice, and I'm deeply opposed to the PATRIOT act. At the same time, I'm a capitalist, pro-gun, and I believe in limited government. I'm perfectly willing to discuss the matter, but I think you want to argue with Fox News, not me.
