I didn't hijack a thread - not cut and paste

I responded to specific points you made.  Name one thing that I raised that you didn't raise.
In contrast, you didn't respond to anything I mentioned although they were the themes you brought up.

Also, in another example of flawed logic, you imply that a misspelling is evidence of cut and paste and a lack of knowledge of meaning.  In fact, it is equally logical that it is a typo, since the use was correct.  Indeed, you do not show why the use was wrong, only that I didn't spell it right.

In fact, if it was mindless cut and paste, it would probably not be spelled wrongly - find it, block, copy, paste - eliminates misspelling.

Thus, you presented a perfect example of something that does not logically follow, or a non sequitur

I love how you throw around terms like "non sequitors" and don't even bother to spell them correctly. I wonder if you know what it even means. Oh, the irony in that. Those are the dangers of copy and paste.

I know copying your own trite subject line, you directed at the post's author, and turning it against you, must get you pretty flustered. That was a greater effect than what I was shooting for. I was going for only mildly indignant with the usual twist of pissy. But that was a beautiful job of copy and paste, if I do say so myself. Thanks for making my day, Phillip.

You said the GOP focuses on issues that divide. I explain how the left pics a side issue that changes most people don't approve of and makes a big deal of it, drawing attention to it.  

You talk about wealth, and I point out how people are still making it on an individual level if the work, like Asians.  (That doesn't mean the economy is doing well right now. But it means it is still the land of opportunity and wealth creation if you try.)

You talk about bribing politcians, and I give the example of unions buying votes by the tens of millions of dollars.

You talk of divide and conquor and I reply with Obama's picking issues that are group issues. Women, black, hispanic...

No response to anything.  

Being overly in debt is not good, and I never implied it was. SHow me one thing in my post that leads to that conclusion.  Oh. I know - "Gay marraige is a fringe issue, therefore Phil thinks the economy is a dream."  or "Giving a pass to 800,000 new illegals when there is unemployment appeals to a fringe group, so Phil thinks the economy is a dream."

total non sequittors.
How you can avoid everything and change the subject is pretty tricky.
