   And from what grand position of intellectual superiority do you judge 
   Conservatives?

Well, John, I haven't managed to call you an idiot yet.

My point was simply that you are calling a person an idiot for simply
posting his/her opinion. Then you cast aspersion's on the person's
education, implying that she is some sort of parasite to the system.

Since you felt so strongly, I was wondering what qualified you to make 
such an assessment? How do you know that what you post has any veracity?
Surely you must have some sort of superior educational background yourself
to make such statements. So what is it?

   Why is it "OK" for the left to slam the right, and make the above list
   of untrue claims?  If I _Ever_ say something that is a characterization
   of a liberal, the left-wing goes nuts?????

I didn't see what the left-wing actually did. Did they go nuts?

Its "OK" with me for you to slam anything you want. You just need to get
off the personal attack approach and present some credible arguments
against the "untrue claims" you found so infuriating. Otherwise you are
just calling names.

   Just wondering.....

So was I.
