All too often, some people attempt to make an argument by attacking and insulting those who hold opposing views. Shittens's vaporings are a perfect example. Before I begin, let me point out that Shittens claims that wars end only when a goodhearted, newly enlightened tyrant heeds the advice of transnational peace activists. Predictably, he cites no hard data for that claim. This is because no such data exist. In conscientious deference to truth, let it be made known and acknowledged that his peuplade is not a cultural or religious assemblage, as he purports it to be. Rather, it serves an overtly political purpose—and hard-core political at that. Thus, in summing up, we can establish the following: 1) Our pain is Shittens's ecstasy, and 2) even liberticidal menaces are ashamed of being associated with his putrid reasoning and importunate fulminations.
