    Iconclast NOT!

    1) I don't lie.

    2) The default position of liberals who cannot debate a topic is that their opponents are liars.

    3) Thus it is that calling everyone a liar is the National Sport of Leftyland. I hear they tried to get it into the Summer Olympics but failed. Their second choice was Casting Aspersions, similar to the javelin toss but propelled by a nasty tongue rather than a strong arm or educated brain.

    It is enough to make one long for the day when one could challenge such a cad, one who goes around throwing out the "liar" epithet, to a duel and run him through with an epee.

    I'll have to settle for simple disparagement.
