Here is a neat upside down world. The ANSWER style left helped murder people by having opinions that you don't like. Meanwhile, your party actually helped murdered close to a million Iraqis, but that doesn't seem to have affected your right to make such pronouncements.
I don't mean to be rude, but from my perspective this is a serious puzzle, something I can't quite understand except by forming a bad opinion of your ethics, which I am reticent to do.
