Not that I particularly agree with ann.coulter2's post, but I think you're going apples and oranges when it's not at all necessary to make your point. Why don't we simply discuss the Bush administration's actions on their own merits?

Thank you for telling me what's necessary to make my point.

What IS your point, exactly? Because if it was a logical response or rebuttal to Ann Coulter over there, you certainly didn't make it.

OK, let me rephrase to try to make this amiable (since, y'know, I'm not trying to be a dick about this):

-Your point is both strong and established on its own.
-The post you quoted made a comparatively weak point.
-The two points are quite disimilar.

Therefore
-In my opinion, your argument can stand on its own, so I'm curious why you would even try to "piggy back" here?

-RC
--I'll apologize for the shot I took in the other thread, if that helps - I didn't think that was all that bad, but I must have been wrong.

RC, why are you asking about my intentions to contribute to a discussion? second, why do you even care enough to overanalyze? I'm flattered by all this attention you're giving me, but it's really not a big deal. Like this discussion. Now, I must head back and gain my western views via Glenn Beck.


PS: it doesn't help. It's the thought that counts.

Do what you have to do - but don't play 'ivory tower' and expect agreement.

I'm interested because, well, that's the definition of 'discussion,' counselor.

1. there is a difference between discussion and analysis of one's motive behind their posting.

2. The Glenn Beck thing is a joke. Stop taking things so seriously.
