No, Please dont stop. Open dialog and discussion on current politics is great but a good solid starting point should be had.

Okay Fletch. I'll stop posting because you said so.

By the way, I never said I agree with the OP.

You have yet to prove why the OP isn't a good starting point for a discussion.

Well, it did the intended job of having people question why we use conservative or socialist monikers to begin with.. well.. except for you and Fletcherz of course.
Why would I question it?

The practice is perfectly sound, you and the other Usual Suspects make that perfectly clear.

Please. I don't need it in writing to show that you think the piece is "leftist" propaganda.
I haven't made a comment on your Op/Ed's political bent.

In fact, I really didn't care about it. What got my attention and what I did comment on, was the hyperbole contained within it.

Perhaps if you stopped trying to pin an ideology on me, and resisted the temptation to use your imagination in the process, you wouldn't make such embarrassing mistakes.

Then you should simply discuss that instead of piggybacking Fletcher's ramblings.

Yes, yes. Fletcher thinking the thread is useless is definitely "relevant intel."
That is neither what I was discussing with Fletcher, nor what Fletcher said. The dishonesty you use in a sad attempt to protect your ideology, is quite humourous to watch in action.

And of course that takes us all the way back to...

Debate of course is a moot point, when the poster is an ideologue. Debate with an ideologue, is an effort in futility.
