Straw man arguments are those where you give an impression that you are arguing against an opponents idea, when if fact your opponent does not hold that idea.

Why do you keep doing this?

Because its usually dead-on accurate. Its gotten to the point where progressivism and satire are indistinguishable.

I guess that is why the Poe meme, that has been around for a few years now, is about Religious Fundamentalist Conservatives?

There is a range of opinions on both sides. And both sides only try to straw man the other side because the straw man is easier to knock down.

If you actually knew what both of those are, your post might be worth considering.
