Whatever happened to logical Arch? You have always had a tendency to get overly emotional and lose rational thought on certain subjects (Hillary Clinton, government, Democrats in general, homosexuals, and now Obama), but it feels like irrational Arch is losing more and more ground to emotional Arch. Sad to see. I obviously don't agree with everything Obama says. I find myself defending him frequently on CG due to the absurd attacks people here (namely you) decide to level against him. Rather than engage in a thoughtful dialogue on relevant subjects, you instead decide to cry "Messiah!" anytime Obama's name is mentioned (a lame use of blasphemy for political gain which I find repulsive), you focus on trivial issues like something a volunteer did at a rally that clearly doesn't reflect the campaign's actual policies, and you engage in name calling. I don't have a problem with name calling or clever insults, so long as there is also substance mixed in (otherwise, it seems like a total waste of time to me). In this regard, you are much like Tex. Lots of rhetoric, little substance. If you want to discuss actual issues that do matter, I am happy to do so. I doubt very much that you do, but in your venture you would learn that I do not agree with Obama on everything. I disagree with him the following, for example: 1. The windfall tax for oil companies (I would instead eliminate oil company subsidies rather than trying to create a faux definition of "windfall"); 2. Permitting holes in the fence on the Mexican border (seems to eliminate the utility of the fence); and 3. Drilling in Anwar (I don't get too worked up over Anwar, so long as it is coupled with an actual long-term strategy for eliminating energy dependence on the Middle East that is implemented concurrently with any drilling in Anwar). Those are off the top of my head and clearly there are more. Back to your regularly scheduled programming with Arch using Jesus as a political attack and focusing on unimportant topics. |

From now on, I will assume that your lack of a response to any post indicates you are unable to respond at all. |

I have others, but they are imbedded within lengthy threads, probably ones which devolved into a Cali-Tex love tussle. That was the easiest one to find.
Nonetheless, still silence. You now argue first, I never stated it, now you claim because my easiest was a last post, you never read it. What will you do upon somebody finding one imbedded in a thread? The love Tex had you distracted? Still no response other than misdirection. You consider those disagreements material? They sound more like cosmetic to me.

Heh. I admit, I'm usually a loser in pissing contests. You are very gifted in hiding your stupors of thought behind meaningless insult. I'm not nearly so good at being an outright jerk.
