You're allowed to believe what you wish, and I have no need whatsoever to change that. I actually would fight to the end to protect that right, too. Really.. However, you're trying to pass misinformation as fact, what you're saying about policy is just completely false, it's just untrue. So, I find myself feeling obligated to point that out, not so much to change your mind, but to point that out to other readers who might be more vulnerable to style over substance. You're just bashing here.

Again, factcheck.org.

Well, if it's misinformation and it's false, then you should have no problem informing me and proving it to be false. Otherwise, your little warning serves as a convenient indicator that you cannot refute what I've said, know this, but still don't want people to listen to me.

As for me bashing, what argument are you reading? I'm quite clearly asking why you are bashing rather than actually refuting my points. If I have bashed you at all, please find the quote in which I did and I will be happy to explain/apologize.

It's funny that you deride me for being misinformed, yet you seem to have a hardon for one particular website. If you are, indeed, as informed as you claim to be, then you would get your information from more than one source. And instead of continually linking to that one source, you'd link to specific pages on it that refute whatever it is that I've said.

It's interesting though. I have yet to point out what my particular political leanings are, where I extract my knowledge from and I haven't even yet begun to tackle the issues. Yet, somehow, you can still garner enough information about me to presume that I am misinformed. Is it at all inconceivable that it is you who is misinformed and me who has greater knowledge on the subject than you? That perhaps, in spite of having views that differ from yours, I actually have fairly good credentials to debate the subject?

Let me ask you a question. If you're so interested in ensuring that the people reading this debate are not misinformed by me, why not simply point to the facts and show them why? You seemed quite intent on debating barnett and even me before I went to town on your post, yet now, you don't want to argue. I assure you, I'm a very reasonable person. If you show me why I'm wrong, I'll gladly concede to being such. But "you're wrong because I said so and I get my news from FACTCHECK.COM" doesn't cut it.
