For reference, here's the post that brought my epiphany:

What accounts Joph?
I don't know the man personally. Neither do you. What "accounts" are you talking about?
The "accounts" I know of is not wearing the flag lapel pin after 9/11, not putting his hand on his heart during the pledge, and sitting in a church listening to Reverend Wright for 20 years.
All the "accounts" seem to indicate exactly the opposite Joph. And that's what the voters are going to be looking at. He can claim whatever he wants, but it's actions that matter. An yeah, I get that those are just symbols and shouldn't matter, but barring some other information those symbols do matter.
We should just trust that he really does love his country though? Why? Seriously. Why?
Once again: "Hahahahhahahahha"
Anyway, my epiphany was that it wasn't worth my time refuting arguments that are inherently and unfailingly self-refuting. Furthermore, replying only propagates the illusion that anything he writes is of a quality or seriousness worth replying to (see above).
It certainly makes for a more relaxing forum experience, anyway.
I now end this interruption and resume my previous pledge.
