The important thing is that you not apply any sort of independent thought to the platitudes on offer for you on Fox News.
That was such a thorough and eloquent thrashing I believe it would be wrong of me not to commend you.
And you insist on further obfuscation. Have fun with that, and all your attributions you so oft pull out of your ass.
