I'm opposed to having people in a position of power in the Executive branch who support violent revolution and overthrow of the government, I'm opposed to advisors who support Eugenics, I'm opposed to advisors who support forced euthanasia. I'm opposed to appeasing dictators in the hopes that they will reciprocate in kind.
It's not in my interest to see a president succeed who I think if he succeeds will turn America into something I don't want it to be, which is a land dominated by mediocrity.

In summary marginalization of other's opinion's isn't a good way to convince them of the validity of your argument.

How am I supposed to debate someone who is predisposed to believing in paranoid fantasies?
Check out the post you made above. In it, you claimed:
- Obama is creating a "presidential citizen police force"
- One of Obama's recent appointments "laid out detailed plans to silence media opposition"
- Our government under Obama is "Nationalizing the banks, big industry, or the health care system"
- People in the Obama government "support violent revolution and overthrow of the government"
- and, finally, Obama has "advisors who support Eugenics...[and] euthanasia"
None of those are true. None of those claims even remotely come close to reality. How am I supposed to engage upon the comedy of debating you if you make such claims?
Those are nothing but conspiracy theories and paranoid fantasies. If you believe those are true, than, I'm sorry to say, I believe that there is no hope of engaging in rational debate with you.
And I don't think you realize what an ad hominem attack is. Attacking your ideas is not an ad hominem attack. Since there is
absolutely nothing to substantiate what you are saying, it is fair for me to call out that what you are saying has no basis in reality. I don't really think you believe in the conspiracy theories you outlined earlier. I think you just don't like Obama, and want to provoke people that do. I don't think you are paranoid or delusional. I think you just have your political blinders on.
