Sorry, Damien, you are still suffering from the same blinkers that you
and other lefties cried about after Bush was elected. Its the whole "if
you don't agree with us you are just stupid" gambit. You want to talk
about bollocks? THAT is bullshit. I've presented a very logical,
consistent, and reasoned basis for my argument and you shrug it off.
Sorry, Damien. The person being irrational here is you. Get over it.
