The irony is that many of these folks are fans of all things European--countries where cousin-humping "royalty" reigns. Ergo, this really boils down to "my cousin-humpers are better than your cousin-humpers."

When very intelligent people like Larry C. are being wholly dismissed because of the opposing side's incorrect assessment of his political views, it gives insight into which side is winning the argument, and that both sides know it.
That's the only solace that I take when people accuse me of the heartless 1%-er thing, because I like to think my arguments are grounded solidly in reality and backed by empirical...

I don't start paying attention to ignorant cousin-humping rednecks until the magical phrase is uttered, thusly:
