engage in a good debate and offer up sincere points, but what we tend to always get are dogma and insults. 

I'm going to try to be polite in this polite, but go back and re-read some of this poster's past comments.  Not only does he open this thread with insults and BS, but in the past, he has strongly insulted the person this board celebrates. 

On top of these, all through this thread he is asked specific questions and answers none of them - or if none of them, offers only a grain of pablum of a non-answer.

Reg and Peter T. asked some wonderfully insightful questions where answers from a Republican or Conservative would be interesting.  But in response, all that was received was non-answer and deflection.
