This is why you should do your own homework. It is laziness and anti-intellectualism that keeps you folks fellating what, ultimately, serves you; not your country...which is a hallmark of narcissism, by the way. And, I can assure you, this is no joust. I'm not even flexing yet.
Obviously you are unable to take the hint because it formulates the basis of your knowledge thereby limiting it as well, with an inclination to focus on small details.
Ah, but I do my homework. And small details are part of that. They matter. All the knowledge I have is the result of following up on what is put before me, doesn't matter who put it there. And it's information that is also available to you. Your refusal to do that is nothing short of malevolent.
In typical liberal fashion
Again, my concerns aren't political. I have yet to discuss my politics. Unless being epistemologically driven is a liberal thing.
you then exaggerate their importance, consequently horrified that I'm not impressed
Exaggerate much? This is where you can get over yourself. You're a stranger on the other end of a server. I don't care that much about you.
and then double-down on your self righteous decree.
You might want to examine why you see arrogance where it doesn't actually exist. I've not condescended you. I've been respectful and direct. And that threatens and offends you.
And, as expected, you haven't actually answered my question.
