[p-vidal naquet's ami]

With all due respect, some individuals, groups, and political parties make such absurd, patently biased, and fallacious arguments as to disrespect evidence or the very notion of truth.

Wendall Cox is just such a person.

One does not dignify the absurd hokum that the Earth is flat, the moon is made of green cheese, climate change is a "hoax" by "greedy scientists," that Hawaii-born Obama is a "foreigner," and that presumably liberal politicians have waged a "war" on American suburbs––which in truth have benefitted for over seventy years at the expense of the cities upon which they depend via government tax, zoning, transportation-energy policies and loans and appropriations.

Cox's "argument" is land-fill rubbish, and, as with so much of the noxious rubbish from his side of the aisle that passes for "discourse," it is not worthy of intellectual engagement.
