Congratulations for not addressing my points, accusing me of using strawman arguments and ad hominem, then spending your entire post doing exactly what you're accusing me of doing. The difference? The only ad hominem I used was calling you a moron because, quite frankly, you are. Hell, I had to dumb down my language on your behest.
I did not set up a strawman, and I question if you even know what a strawman consists of. Your first reply to me in this thread was a strawman, for example. I'm just calling you out on not using the term socialist correct and I do the same when people misuse the word fascist. Why? Because it is intellectually dishonest to accuse someone of taking a certain stance, which you deem to be "deplorable", simply for having a different opinion then you. It is a tactic used far too often in society these days thanks to the followers of Alinsky that think labeling someone is the proper reaction to a different opinion. It squelches debate and creates a rift between the reasonable people and the unreasonable people. You, sir, are an unreasonable person, and I assume you use that tactic because you are incapable of constructing a clear, well-thought out, and logical argument since you have failed to present one here. Oh, and saying so is not ad hominem, unlike your post; rather, it is an observation made from what little coherence you have presented in this thread.
tldr; get on my level
