This is your point? A snide one-sentence comment completely failing to engage with any bit of the argument? Do better. Interrogate why this is your reaction to being challenged

Those three words sum up every response I have for each point.

I wish I could go thru life line you, smooth-brained, unthinking, uncaring, perfectly safe in the belief that I am a special little boy. Sadly I have been cursed with the bane of Thought, and so I must interrogate my beliefs when I encounter that which conflicts with them.
I guess that's what makes me not a lib

โ€œYou must be a critical thinker.โ€ ~ someone who then moons his opponent with a pigโ€™s butt in graphic detail

I asked a simple question not anticipating they would be taken as ungenuine, I apologize if those three words offended you.
