Asking someone to defend and clarify their political positions in the political forum "egregiously" "drips arrogance"?
This doesn't speak well of your convictions. Go ahead and tell me that's arrogant of me.
That said, War Eagle is capable of nuance that you're not, and wes's post was directed at him, so please pipe down while the adults are talking.
Ahhhh... go make sweet love to a goat. Kind of ironic for the king of the blundering hammer to be lecturing anyone on "nuance."
It wasn't asking someone to defend nor clarify.
The "I'm willing to hear this argument" statement is patronizing and arrogant. It essentially says "I am right, but I will entertain your stupidity long enough to show you why you're wrong."
The second statement was patronizing in general toward anyone not considered as genteel as W. It essentially says "all of those people are stupid and don't understand their position. If I could just educate them, they would be so much better off."
And I wasn't talking to YOU anyways.
