... and make them.

I have found Conservatives put almost no importance on the legitimacy of their generalizations based the data they site. Usually you are content to make a case on the basis of one observation (i.e. an anecdote).

Your assertion (implied) is that the "caliber of thinking" you "encounter on DU way too much" is markedly inferior to the thinking you've encountered... where? ... in the general population, on other internet web-sites?? -- or on Conservative web-sites (which of course you do not spend most of your time on).

The logic I've seen on DU (I have more than 220 posts) compares quite favorably to the logic I have encountered from virtually any GOP politician, propagandist or apologists - whatever the medium.

If you are trying to make an implied case that the logic exhibited on DU is inferior to that offered by Conservatives -- well, your going to have to make that case - explicitly - not by implication.

..And start by coming up with some cases - or no Democrat will take your rhetoric as honest discourse but rather will correctly identify it as casuistry.

Ramble on, as you no doubt will, without specific cases, but don't expect anybody to be fooled.


Try being upfront with your arguments Mr. '200 posts'.
