Nice.  I guess that's about as accurate as saying all liberals are "anything goes" atheists who feel that marriage and family are useless institutions that drag on society.  Which is not true of course...most maybe but certainly not all.

Ooh, I know these!

Riposte is when you post something that has already been posted before.  Duh!

And proselytizing is when you perform tasks with fake appendages.  "Oscar Pistorius proselytized his way around the track in London on his way to a historic finish."  (Prior to his becoming a paranoid homicidal maniac, that is)

What do I win???
