                Interesting...you perceive me as being unwilling to listen to other points of view?

                  Quite honestly, I think you present yourself as "listening", and I think you might actually believe that, but your mind is so made up it's like you're only here to advance your own ideas.

                  As my mother used to tell me -- "you'd argue with the Devil and wear him down!"

                    Yes.




                    You tend to reflexively handwave nearly everything you disagree with as a "right-wing meme" or some such nonsense and simply ignore it thereafter.

                      That sounds eerily familiar

                          Interesting. Thanks for the feedback.

                          I definitely would wear the devil down. My wife will attest to that.😁

                            That just shows how deep the swamp is and how important it is to clean up the swamp. We have seen how dirty the FBI is. We already knew the drug-running CIA was largely dirty. Heck, because of Trump even Hollywood has removed some of its swamp monsters. It is a messy job and won't look like anything is getting clean until a bunch of the work is done. But keep praying for good results.

                              I see. So that is how you became a country preacher.
