Internet Reasoning

Recently, I took to the interwebs to discuss the debt ceiling crisis.  A blogger linked to a news story regarding Democratic pressure on Obama to just invoke the 14th amendment and order the treasury to issue new debt.  I made a very benign comment about separation of powers and the left's objection to the growing executive power under President Bush.

This was the response I received.....and also a perfect example of  why one shouldn't argue on the interwebs.

"Steven - The issue isn't the political kabuki - Dems, Reps, Teabaggers, Obama are all happy to screw people in the service of their masters. The white hot rage on the right will be made manifest by a Brievik, some heavily armed Xian bloodthirsty nutcase whose hatred of Blackblack Oblackblack finally is pushed past the fundamental cowardice innate to that movement, ie, the 101st Fighting Keyboarders ("Arise Chickenhawks").

These are bad people, Steven. When a liberal is angered, we try, unfortunately not hard enough, to change the policy, or far more commonly spew nonsense about 3rd parties. (Why, yes I'm a lib, and proud of it, but I recognize our issues.) When a teabagger is angry, he DREAMS of killing people, bathing in the blood of libs, muslims, blacks,those slutty women who sleep with men who are not him and then have gaybortions. And more and more often, some of these assholes are finding the "strength within" to kill the hated Other.

I don't fear the Islamists, few in number as they truly are. They simply want you to convert or die. Most Muslims don't give a shit, they have their own lives to manage. I fear the American right-wing - they want control, to suck our your brains and replace them with THEIR version of Jesusjuice. If you're gay or liberal, and white, you can be redeemed if you mouth the appropriate phrases and cast your free will to the wind. (Of course, anyone failing the paper bag test, any woman inclined to think for herself, screw 'em. Lesbians are a special case because the church councils are still watching the films to determine if its a sin or not.) And there is a mechanism in place to allow the Baggers of Lightly Caffeinated Boiled Leaves to take power.

Hell, here in the Cities, in the largest school district, (in Batshit Kwazee Shelley's Congressional district, with the schoolboard populated by her personal friends), the bullying policy specifically exempts GLBT teens from protection from bullying, and in fact protects the bullies - go ahead, beat that queer.

The American right is the greatest threat to the future of the United States

Wow!!!

The amazing thing to me is that this person is far from an idiot.  Grammar and vocabulary indicate an intelligent and educated person.
