"And if you truly believe that, then you are indeed your namesake."
Ladies and gentlemen, yet another clever user has pointed out that my name classifies me as retarded! I think I'm like 5 for 5 on predicting the liberal response.
"Most people realize arguing with bush supporters is useless"
Of course, you just "realize" that you are right and people that disagree with you are wrong, in lieu of intelligent debate on the subject.
"That being said, if you want to debate the bush presidency, try a political forum not IAB."
You`ve hit every point in the standard liberal argument now! 1) insult your opponent; 2) tell your opponent that they are wrong, so there is no point in debating further; and finally 3) tell your opponent they should go argue with someone else and stop wasting your precious time.
There is a reason you are immediately insulted by people when you say bush was an excellent president. And if you truly believe that, then you are indeed your namesake. Most people realize arguing with bush supporters is useless as they feel they are entitled to their own facts regardless of reality. That being said, if you want to debate the bush presidency, try a political forum not IAB.

"I'm too unintelligent to get it and I obviously just take cheap shots."
I didn`t say you were unintelligent. I said liberals were apparently incapable of carrying on intelligent debate without falling back on ad hominem arguments, not that they are incapable of intelligent debate. I present as evidence the responses to my comments that George W. Bush was a great president (in two separate threads). Both times I was greeted with harsh words, being called a retard (not as clever as some think) and an idiot by multiple people. Only one person attempted to defend their position with reasoned debate, and he described himself as a libertarian.
Having said that, my comment was broad and unnecessary.

@davymid: A "4-letter word" is an expression, m-kay? It means a curse or a word that is forbidden to say. drat is a 4-letter word, so is jerk. So is I am a racist! even though those words don't have FOUR letters, m-kay? Didn`t know that. Maybe it`s a cultural thing. I`ve never heard the expression "4-letter word" meaning something that is forbidden, genuinely. I always took "4-letter word" to mean just that, a word of four letters.
[quote]It`s funny, I totally understood this. Liberals, however, see past all humor in order to seek out ways to insult their opponents. They are apparently incapable of carrying on intelligent debate without frequently falling back on ad hominem arguments.[/quote] No, wait, RETARDEDBEAR has me nailed, I`m too unintelligent to get it and I obviously just take cheap shots. Being a typical Liberal and all that.
Man, how in the F*CK did we ever become this polarized as a society?
