    Consistency in Argument

    If you're looking for it from the extreme right wing, you'll be waiting a long, long time--if not forever. Remember, when your politics is faith-based (and I'm not even talking primarily about the religious kind), objective and verifiable facts mean nothing.

    Point out the rank hypocrisy? Yes, by all and every means. But don't ever expect consistency (i.e.: honesty) in argument from these folks. And don't be surprised if the answer you get back from many of them is that it doesn't matter.
