Kyle:
You utilize the weakest of all defenses of all time: the "crazy" or "nut" factor. Unfortunately, the "nut" factor has been around for such a very long time. It is used when someone has no other defenses and cannot argue the facts. They resort to calling others "crazy." The Dems do it all the time. Are you sure you are not a Dem?
As Liberals, we actually listen to your views, and evaluate the issues, although some of them may be very different from our own and some not so different... But...we don't label people as "crazy" because their positions are different from our. Once you do that, there is no argument...Basically it is over and there is no point trying to debate anything since it becomes not about the issues but about that the person is unstable in some way. Unfortunately, it is the weakest trick in the book used by the most unsophisticated people. You are definitely entitled to your viewpoints and I applaud that you do have them but if you are all that smart, try to come up with some other tactic that is more moral, respectable and intellectually outstanding especially for a person of your high IQ. And you do know that IQ has nothing to do with being "crazy." So in fact, you may have both a high IQ and have a "mental disorder" as you phrase it. Read Thurber's fable and don't count your boobies before they hatch!
