I found this to be typical of many of the Moonbats I've encountered over the years.

Rants are facts, censorship is open discussion, emotionalism is reason, and all debates are done with one Moonbat and an empty chair.

Moonbats don't back anything up with facts ( if you do, they dismiss them quickly and without reason).

The rational mind must go where the facts and evidence leads.

The Moonbat comes with a belief and cherry picks fact to fit it ( if no facts fit, they are then created).

Moonbats lose debates, that's why they avoid them like the plague.

I notice that too.

Suddenly your post have been edited, or the Mod acts on everything the Moonbats bitches about.

And here's a fav, they won't debate you because they only debate people of equal statue of themselves; college professors, high office holders, far Left authors.

Your basic Moonbat doesn't debate because they get asses handed to them. But like the cat who jumped up on a hot stove, they'll debate someone once and be too afraid to look like a fool again ( even thou they'll tell their buddies how they made the other guy cry

).

On the other hand this information could be telling us that the left is extremely gullible and easily influenced by junk science no matter what their education level.

It wasn't enough for the idiot left to force on Americans their version of what is best for us peons. They wouldn't listen to over 60 percent of Americans who did not want their forced government health care. No, our opinion didn't matter so this moron had to ask Canadians, who basically told him what Americans did. And yet, the left marches us on toward their communist utopia.
