I enjoy this as well. I also enjoy when people's degrees make them an unquestioned expert in something but when they talk out of their butt about something else (i.e. Obama and economics) against someone with a degree in that area then it is all purely opinion.

EDIT: Not defending Dutch, in political threads his opinion is very easy to figure out. Also not bashing DT, but he needs to at least acknowledge that his Soviet studies professors are definitely going to have some sort of slant and while he may have read A LOT more than all of us on this subject it still doesn't make him an expert or his opinion any more valid.
