    So, which cult is stronger; the cult of hardcore Obama followers or the cult of hardcore Republicans?

    (Extra credit: And which would support an invasive government, regardless of imagined altruistic motives?)

    Which is stronger? Who knows?

    How about I tell you which is right? It's the one backed by data rather than emotion. Did you read the article? Do you have any counterpoints?

    Or are you going to deflect it by simply stating that Obama has a bunch of crazy followers? Facts, Tim. Facts.

    I only asked out of curiosity, not out of malice.

    It is still funny to observe that one group of fanatics can be justified and another can not, by your perspective.

    And I read the article several hours ago, when you linked it on twitter, under the tweet:

    “A clarification of my previous tweet: THIS kind of Republican, not every Republican”,

    referencing an earlier tweet in which you had written:

    “I'm worried. I find myself starting to despise Republicans rather than just disagree with them–and I know it's mutual.”

    The points of the article? No. There was no point to the article, other than “Republicans bad, democrats good, and here are the paints upon which I claim they are clowns.” Most of the merits it claims I don't follow, as a Republican, nor as any other reasonable man. Death panels?; I've seen this as some sort of advisory panel, for the instances where suicide can be an option, and yet still something I want the government to have no part of. Europe fallen to Islam?; interesting concept to watch over the next 50 years.

    This guy just rambled the entire Democrat Bible, and all apocrypha in one page, as insulted by anti-republican rhetoric, and filtered by seclusion from interface from the wide spread media, to fester idiologically in this corner of your universe, where you have become entrenched, centered happily amongst like-minded oligarchs of mutual appreciation, whose addiction is to rant on a very sociable vice, to prove that republicans are the lowest form of political life form, unjustified in their very existance, much less their theft of breathable atmosphere.

    What did it serve for me to read it a second time? Not much, just to read what you guys dwell on when you think of us. Quite comical, if anything.

    :)

    ps: “Which is stronger? Who knows?” For one so opinionated concerning the two major parties, I'm surprised that there wasn't a more substantial answer. The question was, I intended, to be used as a catalyst to make the article productive. Otherwise, it does what others like it have done for a long long long time, what the two major parties rely on it to do;

    POLARIZE.

    Daniel, don't polarize me, k? LOL!
