If anybody is interested in my replying to the substance of Steen's last two posts, please let me know.  Otherwise, I'll let Steen have more last words, or let him debate with y'all, or whatever.
Earlier we said "we'll give you the last word" but the discussion has continued (which is fine).  I'll say that Steen misunderstands me about "a great many things" (Sidious), and leave it at that.  
One thing:  I've got nothing against "pinko liberals" in principle.  I won this job with an essay praising Barack Obama.  That was Klat's #2 most-read post of its first three years, I think.  Liberal thought, as such, is often praiseworthy in my eyes.  My favorite politician of the 20th century was Sam Nunn.  I voted for Jimmy Carter over Ronald Reagan.  
Of the top 40-50 political issues in America in 2014 A.D., I'm "liberal" on 15-20 of them.

Jesus Christ was regarded a liberal by His contemporaries.

Many of these "sidetracks" come from very-occasional posters who presume that I hate liberals, reflexively react with anger towards them, etc.  That is not the case.
