See when you assumed I was labeling you, you must have meant “shirt”, a garment that requires a label.

Removing the “R”, you can see I don’t think you are anything remotely in need a label at all.

And I’m sorry if you’re upset at my being clever. One of us has to.

If the rest of this is as off-the-mark as your identification of me as a “card-carrying Democrat” and “knee-jerk liberal”, I don’t hold out much hope, but go ahead. Knock yourself out.

“You say I’m proposing myself to be more smart than a Democrat?”

No, I’m pointing out that you say you’re smarter than any Democrat. You reduce them to Cold-War Commie caricatures (“…those that espouse the most Lenin-esque diatribe their Soviet hearts can muster…”), or even further, to animals. Mindless, non-thinking animals. They’re merely “sheep” (or “sheeple”, a cute little nonsense word), rather than intelligent human beings who may have arrived at a different conclusion than you did.

“I’m merely less insecure about my own decisions and far more reluctant to let come to fruition your wet dream of “the people” you would control (assuming you’re planning on being the one who is “more equal” than his peers) all lined up neatly in their “function chambers” while their brains are fed your visions of sugarplums by means of the “correct thinking” implants everyone would get upon being birthed from the wombs of the “breeding class”. (To each their ability, right? Those that are more apt to breed should know their role and breed for the good of “the people”. You, as a much smarter individual, would take away that pesky “thinking” from the worker drones… er… populace.) Sorry if my “personality” interferes with your Soylent Green aspirations.”

Again, can I offer you a napkin? Your continual frothing-at-the-mouth must be terribly uncomfortable.

I’m not interested in controlling anyone. I haven’t mentioned my political beliefs at all. I merely pointed out that whenever anything negative is said about a Republican, the bleats of “Clinton! Clinton!” begin, and continue to become more and more irrational until any polite discourse has been rendered impossible, which your fantasy tirade above so aptly proves.

“And to take a comment, already self depricating, and further berate me for my damnable “opinion” (I again assume that in your world, if “the people” want an opinion, you’ll be sure to give it to them.) only furthers MY perception of the typical, dyed-in-the-wool socialist attitude you have, laced with the ire and mean-spirited nature you’ve somehow managed to graft onto it.”

I didn’t berate you for your “opinion”, I half-agreed with you when you stated that you’re cheeky and an asshole. You’re free to make whatever assumption you wish regarding which half I agree with.

“Were this a schoolyard, I’d be inclined to remind you that in order to correctly identify someone with such assuredness, you must undoubtedly belong to the group of individuals you have so remarkably identified. Unfortunately, you’ve proven that you’ve cornered the market on childish behaviors, so there’s no room for my particular sentiment.”

If you want to say “Takes one to know one”, just come out and say it. Or did you feel like you needed to try to be clever about it, considering all the labels you’ve attempted to stick to me?

This has been fun, but I have to go to work.

You say I’m proposing myself to be more smart than a Democrat? No sir! I’m merely less insecure about my own decisions and far more reluctant to let come to fruition your wet dream of “the people” you would control (assuming you’re planning on being the one who is “more equal” than his peers) all lined up neatly in their “function chambers” while their brains are fed your visions of sugarplums by means of the “correct thinking” implants everyone would get upon being birthed from the wombs of the “breeding class”.

So, you said we have no business being in Israel. Then what business do we have being in Iraq?

You can’t have it both ways.

Pour money into the military or engage in discussion? Send the poor young to fight or invest in education? (and try not to think about being on the Halliburton coffers.)
