If Dark actually addresses this topic or any of our posts on the matter directly without tap dancing around the sore points, I’ll be pleasantly surprised. He’s just in too deep with GOP identity politics to really get his head around how much today’s TPGOP has turned out to be more like the Jacobins or the Bolsheviks than Abraham Lincoln or Ike.

In general, I respect Dark for engaging with folks directly and at least generally stating his point even if he doesn’t always back it up or acknowledge contradictions. (I can think of a few people who might engage in the one-topic drive-by-drop-turd style of posting, which I don’t respect at all.)

I have very little respect for silent downdinging of a valid read of the current situation because it is critical of one’s “side”, regardless of the facts of the matter.
