"Don't argue with a fool. The spectators can't tell the difference." -- Charles J. Nalin
I know this is a realization that many Kossacks have affirmed in the past, but I've always felt that someone must respond to ignorance and stupidity when it rears its ugly head, if, at least, for the lurkers who are reading and possibly considering the points being made. As a result, I've always tried to give an enlightened and reasonable response to conservative talking points when I see them on my Facebook wall, in blog comments, or wherever. However, that is becoming increasingly more difficult as conservatives sink into a fantasy-ridden, delusional bubble that is impossible to penetrate with any form of reasoned analysis. The conservative worldview is so steeped in conspiracy talk and nonsense that there is virtually no common ground around which to hold a rational debate.
