Apparently you can't muster up an argument against those very good points, so you're pretending they just were never made. Ummm, I just did argue against it.
Well, yes, actually, if they are deliberately calling you something you'd rather not be called, and know it, that's an oblique insult. If your last name is truly "Sexy Pants" and you would prefer to be called by your full name, then that is what you should be called.
If you are going to speak to me, identify me properly. Don't bother responding unless you start out with "Benjamin Sexy Pants." Otherwise, you are being rude.
The fact that some conservatives don't consider the Democratic Party truly "democratic" does not let them off the hook when it comes to using the correct party name.
I think its more, democratic makes it sound like they are the only democratic party and less that they are not democratic.
I never considered the "Moral Majority" either truly moral or a truly a majority, but that was its name, so I used it.
That's good, but plenty of people called the Moral Majority "neither moral nor a majority."
I don't consider the G.O.P, truly "grand" but I still use the initials that stand for the "Grand Old Party."
I'm sure those in question wouldn't mind calling the Democratic Party D.P. (ignoring the sexual reference). I mean, It isn't like Democrat is essentially different. If it was considered rude by Republican to call the Republican party as GOP, instead of Grand Old Party, I'm sure there would be plenty who would do it anyways. Not to insult, but because they don't think it's Grand, or it's a pain in the ass to say.
And anyways, why do you consider yourself the authority on anything? Its all "I wouldn't do this..." or "I call them this." Not everyone is like you. If I was a Democrat, I wouldn't be offended at Democrat Party. But who cares, what I would do isn't an argument.
