And there's the justifying torture thing too, but so long as the torturers don't say un-nice things about the Paki's mother, we're fine...got that manners thing down...moral compass working jim-dandy.
Please take your strawman when you leave, blatham. For someone who is so critical of other people's thinking, you often display a surprising lack of same when you post. Posting an article written by a political pundit on a political forum is not rude. If you don't want to read Ann Coulter, then kindly exercise your scroll wheel or the ignore function on your Firefox browser. In any case, I have only posted a Coulter article a couple of times outside of the Bush Supporters thread or a thread devoted to Coulter ... and then only
one time I can recall where I did not give a "WARNING" to the reader, just because I know how some of you folks just hate to see a Coulter article posted. But this nonsense that I'm rude or being an ass because I post her articles on this political forum is ridiculous.
Beyond that, the issue here is manners one displays to a stranger they meet. I would have no problem acting like a jerk towards you, blatham (or any body else), here on A2K, but I assure you that's only in response to the way you have acted to me (speaking hypothetically, of course). I tend to treat others the way they treat me. But I am certainly not rude to strangers on the street. My momma raised me better than that.
I'm getting the sense that it's the leftists at this site that are the most rude (and proud of it). Interesting anecdotal evidence, don't you think?
