(43,922 posts)18. Anytime your logic or your sources or your twisting of positions by omission are questioned
you claim it is a "personal attack."
It isn't - it is an attack on your rhetorical style.
I am sure you are a wonderful person, and a dedicated activist.
However that doesn't mean that your threads are above criticism and disagreement.

I was wondering why he wouldn't sign an EO. Puzzling. But I guess you make some good points.

You're mistaken. Obama took that position in favor of an Executive Order AFTER the 2010 election.
