I admit that I play with the idiot conservative on Discussionist just to have fun. These idiots are far too stupid to make an intelligent argument or to know how to respond to any facts they did not hear on fox or brietbart. These idiots actually think that O'Keefe is a credible source

I have given up hoping to get in a real debate on Discussionist
