While I'm a rhetorical madman at times (best use of a Monty Python reference I've seen recently, from another blog, describes me perfectly: "...using his verbal trebuchet to launch this rhetorical cow in the direction of his target: ...", I do profess to some independence from echo chamber slavery. At times I descend into it for a while -- but I count it as a virtue that I can at least eventually see that it's wrong to do so (and the clearest way to make me see it is to force me to sit through a friend regurgitating slanted talking points from my own side; I will always respond with some measure of nuance.)
Republicans and other conservatives are human beings. Really I do believe that all the way down to my core. I just occasionally, well, the trebuchet and the cow, y'know.
