There used to be a time when any wingnut who started souting buffoonary in my direction would get the courtesy of me actually listening to why they are wignuts and then a careful, thoughtful, reasoned explanation of why what they think is ass backwards. This behavior has, on a few occassions made people question their choice of talk radio hosts, realize that public funding of private schools would actually decrease the quality of education, and once convinced a former boyfriend to vote for Clinton the first time (ok- that didn’t involve reasoning, but more an offer of a blowjob if Clinton won).

But I am done reasoning with the idiots- and that includes the self-proclaimed libertarians who are jumping on the bandwagon like Paris Hilton on tiny dogs. Sure, you want freedom and small government and think the free market works better than government. What a crock of bullshit. The free market gives us things like downwardly spiralling wages, upwardly spiralling gas prices, rampant pollution with no environmental controls, and a society that is more deeply segregated by class than we’ve seen since the boom bust cycles of the late 1800’s to the great depression.

What I have discovered is that the wingnuts are always spoiling for a fight, not a discussion. And the more reason you throw at them the more ridiculous and offensive their arguments get.
