I Am Beyond Sick/Tired Of Being Called An "Authoritarian NSA Apologist".

33. Then stop doing it.

Ya know, its unfortunate. I thought you actually had the kernel of a good and useful post.

The "im sick of x" and the reference to the poll you posted. We could have some common ground there. We are all sick of being called, thought, implied to be what we are not. We are sick of the other side misrepresenting us in an attempt to disqualify the messenger, not the message. Both sides of virtually any discussion here and everywhere in the USA now use the fox newsish tactics, and both sides hate having them used against themselves. It really makes a civil or informative discussion hard to have and real progress really hard to achieve.

But then you start attacking anyone who disagrees with your personal authority in assessing situation, implying that they are simple minded, unable to understand shades of grey, etc. "some liberals". All that authoritarian, its my way ya'll are not just wrong, but foolish crap.

So my simple response to you, is if you are sick of being called x, maybe stop posting things as if you are x.
