Anyone that says there is a cult of divine worship of Obama deserves all the
mocking he gets. Don't expect too much sympathy for the rest of your
argument when you open it with that howler.

This is amusing, since I was deliberately trying to imitate Ricardo's style,
actually---well, sans the vulgarity, which is probably why it didn't come
off---since you seem to respect him for some reason. You have utterly
ignored and rebuffed all my earnest attempts to do the point-by-point style
of debate, boring everyone instead with your amateur psychology lectures
whenever this or that objectionable turn of phrase gave you a life-line out
of dealing with a list of contrary points.

And of course you know all about the many. You are one with them, and they
with you.

What viewpoint is that Geoff? Julio and Henrietta are OK, perfectly normal
expression of political hope, nothing whatever to be worried about
there---albeit not the way you'd prefer to sing hosannahs. But that Bob guy!
He needs therapy and might even be a "CT" because he doesn't toe the
majority line on The Great Hope that is Obama. He actually believes masses
thronging to Obama speeches, feinting and begging him---literally begging
him---for their daily bread, and other guaranteed benefits, is a sign of a
dangerous cult figure and false messiah. What a whack job!

You didn't think that of Julio, whom I was directly quoting.

And you've made such a great effort to understand mine!

Your internal contradictions are the only thing that sustained me in our
so-called dialog, particularly as you tried to make this personal. Every
time I say to myself, "I'm done with that guy, he simply cannot get it on in
good faith," you gave me something else at which to chuckle and be amazed,
by way of more evidence.

Thanks for the entertainment, anyway!
