Lenin identified “Useful Idiots” as those who lived in liberal

It's easy to call names.

A little more significant to create one, and then define it.

But not by much.

But it's been historically useful to substitute name calling for
actual dialogue about an issue....to decry an opponent of not worthy
of engaging by attaching a name to him/her.

Which is where we are, today.

Thank you for underscoring my point.


That you're a political illiterate? You hardly needed my help for that.

But you're welcome, I guess.

Actually, no. In this case, it's a statement of fact.

Again. Name calling rather than addressing the discussion.

That would suggest not only a weak argument, but an inadequacy of
weilding it.

That is assuming that you HAD an argument.

So far, you've only shown your bluster.

Have a good evening, Jim.

I *am* addressing the discussion -- it's about your political pig-ignorance
and the way you cling to it like some kind of worn-out security blanky.

I can understand how you'd want to pretend it's about something else,
though.

too.
