Ja Mata, Tosa.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
C'mon. I think Tribesman does us more of a favor than you know. He creates devils advocate positions that are witty but aren't all that defensible. The very fact that he counters reasonable conservative argument with callousness may lead to more conservative converts than it does converts to his own side.
It seems as though his side in argument is more interesting, but fundamentally weaker once Tribesman enters into the fray.

"That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
-Eric "George Orwell" Blair
"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
(Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
