That way I can sharpen my debating teeth when I argue with them. The thing about Matthews is he can never decide which side he's on. He would say that's him being fair. I would argue that we're well past the point of trying to walk a middle line.

By all means, listen to opposing viewpoints. Just don't look to milqetoast fools like Matthews for inspiration or good ideas. He has none to give.
