Your use of the pejorative term loony to describe the left is,I believe, a violation of the terms of posting here.
No, not at all. Members of the Right are commonly referred to here as Wing Nuts and a variety of other "pejorative terms".
We try to keep discussions collegial, but we are political opponents in an ongoing debate. Churlpat, you have shown very little respect for the beliefs of conservatives, yet you want them to respect yours? Really, it's not gonna happen. So with that in mind let's just try to keep arguments from getting personal and avoid flamewars.
Your lack of respect for others is very apparent to even the most casual observer. I have often wondered if you were born this way or whether your incivility is something we can blame on your upbringing.
Insulting someone's upbringing is, in fact, a violation of guidelines. I'm not calling for an edit or calling you down for it. Just pointing out that it isn't collegial, which is to say; one colleague to another. We don't agree, but we should be able to discuss our differences without getting angry or getting our feelings hurt.
