So people who claim to think for themselves are all Obama supporters, and morons.
Did you read what you wrote? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I am sure there are plenty of people who have said this on both sides of the Obama fence as well as people who have no desire to walk near that fence.
I get it, you don't like people who only repeat what they hear instead of researching the issue. But this concept is too broad narrow down to Obama specifically. But you know what I hate, I hate when people assume that I did not do the research simply because I have a different opinion. That is also moronic.
It's a specific example, retard. You don't start with generalities and than move to particulars, you start with particulars and than build generalities from that. In no way did I suggest that people who think for themselves are Obama supporters, my statement was in regards to people who will claim to 'think for themselves' but then swallow fully any sort of dumbass conspiracy bullshit in regards to the man (and AGAIN, this is only *one* example, and is largely *figurative* in its use. The fact that you feel it necessary to whine about it makes me think I've struck a nerve). Also, in no way did I actually support Obama in this post; if I did, please tell me where I put forth the notion that all Obama supporters 'think for themselves'.
Again, 'think for themselves' is in quotations FOR A REASON. Why the fuck does nobody get that?
No, your communication skills are lacking. Your first sentence is a run on sentence and says, "Show me someone who thinks for his or herself, and I will show you an uneducated moron who thinks that Pres. Obama is an android assembled by Russian/Muslim/Marxist homosexuals in a hidden factory on the moon, or that the government is about to unleash a zombie army on us all."
Thinking=moron, that is what you said. Not me.
And clearly my mental capacities are not slow. It is you who has zero argument other than insulting someone who tries to challenge you.
If you want to discuss people who claim to "think for themselves" but then repeat catch phrases, then discuss that. But you are wrong. You start with something general then provide evidence in support that include specific examples. Who taught you to debate? Those who speak in blanket statements have no argument.
And no nerve is struck, I'm not the one is having issues communicating. Which is surprising considering how scattered I am.
No, you're getting too hung up on words and want to play semantics. I insult you because I am insulted that I must break things down into simple pieces for a simpleton who fancies himself smart enough to explain to ME, what my own position is. My first statement is not a run-on and I find it rather amusing that you seem to think that the way a message is presented is somehow more valuable than the message itself.
"And clearly my mental capacities are not slow. It is you who has zero argument other than insulting someone who tries to challenge you."
The only 'challenge' coming from you is the one you were obviously born with; you have posed no challenge to my original statements whatsoever and have proceeded to whine about my style and pretend that what I say is somehow incomprehensible.
"But you are wrong. You start with something general then provide evidence in support that include specific examples. Who taught you to debate? Those who speak in blanket statements have no argument."
Nope, not at all. The method of induction derives generalities from particulars, not the other way around. The only way you can know anything about chairs or trees in general is to examine particulars. The examples I have given above are entirely particular and in no way can you say that they are generalities. I'm feeling awfully cold - can I borrow one of your quilts?
IIN to hate people who "think for themselves?"

Is this Chris?
In this setting, all you have are words. It would be wise to use them more effectively.
And you still haven't insulted me and I'm not sure why you are trying.
