Calling it out is one thing. Becoming overly emotional yourself and making yourself look more a fool than they do is another thing entirely.

This is one reason I despise the left, they never try to argue facts or the a logical, rational basis, they go on emotion, mob rule etc This is beneath me as a human and beneath everyone else.Unfortunately, some people are just stupid and do not realize this.
You're about to get laughed at some more, for the simple reason that you've just described yourself again. Can you show a single time when you have argued facts on a logical, rational basis in these forums. You say it's beneath you, yet you use emotional tactics and name-calling practically every time you post. I've tried time and again to show you the error of your ways, but you still don't get it.
