(1,445 posts)...wait! What the hell are you doing arguing with these walking 'persecution-complex units'?
...better to do something more constructive like discussing the finer points of string theory with a sack of potting soil.

(82,383 posts)They change the issue, indulge in every logical fallacy there is, especially ad hominem. Black and white thinking abounds, because they want to know everything and can't admit they can't.

(3,947 posts)so you have to be clear that you are making the argument for the
benefit of anyone that might be listening, rather than thinking there is
any hope of persuading the denier.

(1,254 posts)Was on a web site pointing out the deceptions of that video Carly Fiorina claims a live fetus is dissected. As you know that CMP video is spliced and edited to falsely portray that, plus the images of fetuses were not even related to abortion or PP. One rabid woman obviously could not dispute the evidence, so her sanctimonious response was..."may God have mercy on you soul"! Well isn't she special? Like she is qualified to pass judgment and qualified to dispensate mercy. What conceit. Who was she kidding. Her comment wasn't meant in any true Christian way. It was meant to put me down and insinuate I was an evil person needing rebuke. Typical hypocrisy coming from a extreme religious wrong-winger. The woman was too dumb to realize that she was really exposing herself to be a fake Christian. Rather than tell her off, I thanked her and asked God to have mercy on her soul as well. I just threw it back at her.

I know it doesn't make a lot of sense -- then again, maybe it does -- but ever since reading the Hameron news, it's the first thing that comes to mind now whenever I think of conservatives.
I do like the OP, though. Especially the strutting around in victory part. Very accurate.
