a fraudulent philosopher:
Don't you believe it, Ham. There have been a number of conservative
contributors to MOQ Discuss over the years.
msh:
In a year I've encountered precisely three conservatives on this
list. One never answers my responses to his political nonsense; one
is a dogmatist who pretends to be a philosopher, slandering holders
of divergent opinions yet refusing to bring primary textual support
for his slander; the third never engages me politically, though he
mocks "liberal secularists" and "nihilist materialists" when he
converses with conservative #2, who he knows will admire his puny
thought processes and let his dogma breathe unchallenged.
Yep. Conservatives have plenty to do, all right. Most of their
effort goes into avoiding actual dialogue with people who can blow
their bullshit out of the water.
