Straw. Enough to request flame retardant protection just for replying.

FTR, you evidently believe that you speak for a number of folks on here, as you said 'we all know it.' An assumption I believe to be rooted in self delusion, but perhaps your constituents will want to step forward to identity themselves in your defense.

Secondly, I have routinely sourced my arguments using everything from Scripture, to the founding documents, to the historical record, to articles which specifically address the issue. Whereas you on the other hand, only on the rarest occasions offer anything by way of substantiation. Assumedly because though grafted-in talking points and opinion may carry the day in the friendly confines of the coupon clippers club, more is required should you dare to test a more demanding venue, even if that is the BGR Political forum.
