[Hoot Gibson]

Just as anyone on BGR knows, you only talk on an equal basis with people that agree with you. Anybody else, using your own words, is an "idiot".

Quite the contrary, I treat people with the same respect that they afford me. People who cannot debate without resorting to cursing at and threatening people deserve no respect and they will get none from me.

The fact that I have worked in Washington during the past couple of years is none of your concern. I had a low opinion of socialists when I lived in eastern Kentucky. The fact that I live in Washington for the time being does not make my opinions any more valid than yours - it is your inability to weave any supporting facts into a debate to support your opinions that weakens your positions.
