  You were given a citation that demonstrates to the otherwise and yet you continue to maintain that the two are not connect or "nothing to do with?"
  
  "I expanded on Joe Smith's point about the hysteria of the left."
  Let me see if I understand you correctly.  You admit that what you said is not _directly_ related or "does not derive from" what Joe Smith raised but is related and thus is not a straw man argument even if, it is at best, tangential to his point?
  
  I'm sorry.  I cannot take you seriously as it seems you 1) continue to try to maintain a position that you have been presented record evidence is unmaintainable; and 2) You continue to raise irrelevant arguments like "Obama's administration lack of concern."  You seem eager to discuss any manner of tangential issue but the ones raised, ie. you have every intention of not staying topical.
