Meaning, I know us Democrats, I mean Progressives, have been caught in a
hypocritical vice and we really can't figure out how to get out of it so
we'll ignore the issues when it suits us.

Meaning, if a poster can't express his ideas in his own words and must put up a
wholesale cut and paste instead- it's extremely unlikely that person would
comprehend a rebuttal.

You deserve a rebuttal when you say something in the first person, not when you
cut 'n paste. Same goes for some of the folks with less repressive ideals, too.
