Boviosity!

Lileks captures my own thoughts on the current political discourse:

Anyone who says “all liberals are . . . “ and follows it with something like genetically driven to oppose the United States [like Ann Coulter] is just talking nonsense, and gives the impression that they are actually standing on their hands, and have taught their rectum to pass gas in such a way that forms recognizable phonemes.

[...]So to say “left-wingers hate America!” just strikes me as fatuous drivel. If that’s the case, there’s no point in arguing about anything. To the barricades!

This is exactly why I've stopped arguing politics with my liberal friends. I'd love to argue facts with them, really I would. But they largely lack the capacity to do so. It's not enough to say, "I believe Halliburton is pulling Cheney's strings." It's, "Halliburton is pulling Cheney's strings, and your kind are too blind to see it." OK, should we discuss Halliburton, or my own detestably poor vision?

Naaah. If we're going to keep it on an infantile level, then it's poop jokes and exorcism discussions for me. Those subjects are better suited to infantile discussions.
