We are no better than them

5. First of all your argument would be better articulated if it were broken down into paragraphs

That said, it is true that there are certain tendencies that all humans, including DUers share. Among them we tend to agree with stuff we agree with no matter how strong or weak the argument actually is or what evidence is provided. If it confirms our beliefs we tend to give it a lot of leeway while being very critical of stuff that doesn't agree with our beliefs.

That said, it's clear that you aren't as interested in that tendency as you are in criticizing your fellow DUers for not agreeing with your position on the issues; the fact that they don't agree with you isn't necessarily proof of weakness of thought; in many cases they have been very articulate about why they disagree with the positions you present here (and of course they have made many weak arguments as well).

That said, even the weakest arguments presented at DU are still head and shoulders over the arguments of our Tea-partying friends if for no other reason than they tend towards making American and the world better, while our buddies in Teapartiastan tend to argue for things that will make the world worse.
