Your political rhetoric is all about polarizing. Typical right wing talk radio tactic.

Maybe I misunderstood what you were syaing. Was it something other than that it wasn't the missing link, in spite of the headline?
It was a clear enough statement, you can reread it if you like. I didn't think it was a greatly controversial observation but there were those who took exception.

Then I'll go with my first impression: you said nothing that was not said by the WSJ link other than disputing the validity of the headline.

You'll always be to the right of Atilla, of that I'm sure. Being correct is quite another matter though.

He is always politically correct - by his standards. IOt just infuriates him when the rest of us don't do as he does and say as he says and think as he thinks. It challenges him and he doesn't like that.

I suspect it's more when we don't do as he says. I kind of doubt he really does as he says. That's how it generally works with the ultra authoritarian.

How do you know that? I do have a degree in biology after all, including 8 hours of organic chemistry, I read everything that comes along relating to evolution and have since I was an adolescent. I don't know what you base your opinion on.
