Yes, you probably don't recognize a personal insult because like other
leftists such insults are the knee-jerk way you respond critics of your
politics,
like the use of "moronic comment" above.

There you go again. You obviously haven't heard what Senators Barbara Boxer,
John Kerry and other leftists have said.

I've tried for 10 years on this site to get you and others on the left to
spell out in detail the political system you would like to see that you think
would reflect the MOQ. ("Political anarchy" sounds like Noam Chomsky). Will you
now?
