(2,720 posts)As it is an abuse of the system. A way to bash people they disagree with, and applied in an obviously biased manner.
Let me be very clear, however. When someone turns to screaming insults rather than discussing facts, that means they have lost the argument. And it really doesn't matter how many people you can get to agree with you in a non-representative echo chamber that has been taken over by a fringe of people who clearly hate the very party the website is supposed to represent.
I'm not going to convince someone like you that you're wrong, clearly. Like a teabagger who would rather see this country burn than see a black man succeed as President of the United States, you obviously would rather die in a terrorist attack than have any kind of watch on the people who are associated with car-bombings. Even your own invented scenario shows that you have a paranoia and hatred of the government worthy of Ron and Rand Paul. However, just as a piece of advice, if you ever actually intend to persuade someone who doesn't already agree with you 100%, let me suggest that you try to find a single actionable grievance that you can identify when discussing how bad a policy is - rather than relying on made-up fantasy.
