For good old foxy it has nothing to do with getting to the root of the problem or understanding the empirical evidence before him. For him it is a classic case of ideological blindness. He couldn't care less what evidence there is to prove anything. If he was a young Nationalist Socialist, he would, with the same degree of shamelessness, be denying the holocaust. Marx himself once stated that ideas are like chains far stronger than iron and steel. People who can't get past their beloved ideas, no matter how rediculous those ideas are, will never have the ability to see outside their confined conceptual box. Foxy's only mission is to exhibit that he is a patriot and that he supports the people that dwell on his fictitious landmass more than the people who dwell on another fictitious landmass many miles away.
