No, it's obvious instigation. Being an instigator, I can appreciate it. Seems to be working too!
However, I too miss the good old days, when responses weren't all emotionally based and raised an issue or point that required me to do some research and maybe learn something. When the pragmatic misrepresentation of facts generates a "he's human"; when something like 'Godwin's law is pointed to me when I provide a reference to the Nancy Pelosi calling the health care protesters Nazi's - it goes beyond hypocrisy and is better used as an indication of desperation. There has even been a noticeable decrease in the often used "not enough time" rationalization. Sad really, but reflecting a sad pragmatic reality. The 'messiah' and religion is failing; better to discuss others and keep quiet until something works.
Meanwhile, try and stay away from the opinion polls. Charge the media or adversary special interests with agenda. Ignore anyone projecting out consequences and call them names and/or cite sophomoric debate techniques. When you observe your 'religion' crumbling, be it left-ism, Obamism, or any faith based philosophy and you can't argue with pragmatic reality, one recourse is to vent against the source, or other beliefs. Religion makes an easy target for either side. Just as polarizing as politics, but without the same current day, in the news, facts. It serves as a distraction. Similar to this thread serving as instigation.
