Serious question here...
Do you honestly believe that you are convincing in these exchanges? As in you believe people are actually convinced that you are saying something worthwhile instead of just coming off as bumbling?

Are you even convinced?

Which freedom do you wish to use, but I would ban? What do you want to do that I would prevent?

"Often" and "too often" are very vague descriptions. Give us specific examples.
I am, of course, referring to the same freedoms I always bring up: gay marriage, flag burning, and religion. It is the conservative stance to institute a government ban gay marriage and flag burning. Am I to believe that you care about me and my marriage? Am I to believe that you care about those who would be thrown in jail for burning the flag?

Even when it comes to religion, should I believe that you care about respecting the beliefs of atheists, buddhists, and people of other religions?

You have never said, "I want to treat you right, even though our beliefs are different." Instead, you say, "I won't give you the freedom to be different. Go find someone who cares."

You tried to connect me with the KKK and it didn't work. Use another example that is not a racist group to compare me with.

He compared you with a different radicalism, because, inevitably you are radical whether you want to believe it or not. Although you may not share the same racial or some political beliefs as the KKK, it has been pointed out that you have something distinctly in common with the KKK and any radical group, left or right; and that is that you think your opinion is fact, and you hold your political opposition in harsh contempt. In other words, bigotry.

And attempting to turn this on liberals or me will only prove my point.

In your opinion, I'm radical. In your opinion, I'm a bigot. Yes, I hold liberals in harsh contempt because I believe they are will sell out this country for political gain. That is not bigotry. That is my opinion and I am entitled to it as a free American just as you are. The fact that you and foundit label a person with a different opinion a bigot proves my point that liberals label anyone who expresses a different opinion as a bigot, racist, or a nazi. I have never labeled you as a bigot, racist, or a nazi. You have proven my point just as foundit has day after day every day.

Wonderful. That doesn't address you proving my point that anyone who disagrees with a liberal is a bigot, racist, or a nazi which you just called me for disagreeing with you. Looks like I can read your book better than you can read mine.

No. I didn't.
I tried to do precisely what Kat described.
I "simply gave an example of extremists that think their opinions are the full-fledged truth, yet as the mainstream knows, its far from the truth."

I gave an example of extremists who have an "opinion" which is bigotted.

You can't address the fact that your claims were refuted, so you attempt to lie and claim I was doing something I clearly was not.

Okay.....You called me an extremist and then used the KKK as an example. Therefore, you are saying I am extremist like the KKK.

What claims of mine were refuted?

Apparently you missed the point. Maybe its because you don't read books.
