It works great until everyone correctly identifies you as a troll, I suppose?

"You cannot lie for truth comes out to you [with a flaming axe]."

And thus I rest my case, you're wrong.

Wait a minute... Doesn't this quote outright say I am right?

If I "Lie" then the truth comes to me. (mind you I am sure that isn't what he means)

The best way to be right is to have the biggest wallet or the biggest guns. This is what the foreign and domestic policies of the US and the UK have taught me since I was born in 1992.

Nope, because you're wrong. You see, by trying to be wrong and ending up being right, you're wrong because you cannot be wrong to be right to begin with.
