Indeed, the great strategy employed by all those without any kind of decent
argument to stand on: call your opponents silly names.

Henry Clay said "I'd rather be right than be President". I say, "I'd rather

I assume that, here, you're sarcastically say that you alone actually are
using your intelligence. Let's remember that.

By the way, I'm Pagan too. And I know that, like I said in what you quoted

You talk about preserving the species. OUr species is humanity, all of us.
That's not a political viewpoint -- it's a biological fact. And are you
going to present any evidence for your claim of disappearance, or are you
just going to spout unsupported rhetoric? The latter? that's what I thought.
If you ever expect to convince anyone maybe you should get a better argument.

Now you're saying that we shouldn't use our intelligence. Which is it?
