is that you can't wake a man who is only pretending to sleep. Or reason with those who aren't interested in reason.
Look at some of the utterly fanatic posts here. The drive-to-purge will never end. This mentality will keep searching for potential traitors, forever. If the supply of actual people who differ from "the line" is exhausted, new ones will be invented. It has its fascination to the sociologically inclined, for sure. The pretense it does anything whatsoever for the Obama 2012 campaign (except maybe turn off a few undecideds who wander in to this electronic auto-da-fe) is the biggest joke at all.
But I guess by being so reasoned and eloquent in a short, simple form, you've managed to draw the most enthusiastic calls for a purge yet. Just look at the posts on this thread that invoke TOS and tell you all your posts are being recorded for future scrutiny! Suspect by definition!
