    And thus, my point is proven.

    Here endeth the lesson. Good bye and good riddance!

    Why? So I can spend the next 2 hours hearing from all sides about what a waste of carbon-based life I am or how I’m just a “Good German” who doesn’t give a crap about anyone but themselves? I know how these conversations go – people call me every vile name in the book, insult [...]

    “Jackboots”? Really?

    The Nazi imagery is getting old, and it doesn’t work. All it does is rile people up *against* you. Like me.

    Flagged. And frankly, if this is permitted I want my account terminated from FDL. I will not associate with any group who thinks this is permissible language.

    Now I’m a liar. Anything else? Anyone else want to take a shot at me? Go ahead, since it seems to be dogpile day.

    I find your words hollow when I am defending myself from attacks upon my character (something that deeply offends me and causes a reaction on a visceral level) and I am the one chastised.

    I will not apologize for that. And if that diminishes me, so be it. Mods, delete my account. I quit. You win.

    I don’t have a fragile ego problem. I have a “doesn’t suffer fools” problem.

    You want to know who I am? I’m someone who still lives with his parents. I get up every morning and drive 55 miles to work 10 hours a day because despite offering generous wages, a pension plan, and full medical benefits, I’m still doing the work of three people because we can’t get anyone qualified to be a secretary, then drive 55 miles back home.

    I spent 2 years bouncing from temp job to temp job, all work I hated with a passion because it involved harassing people who I knew didn’t have money to pay their bills. It sucked, but it was do that or starve. I’m up to my eyeballs in medical debt and student loan debt, and while I’m slowly managing to get the numbers down it’s still a hard slog.

    I agree with OWS, and I agree with what their doing. So forgive me when I don’t moderate my tone when someone wails that their “progressive hero” has feet of clay. Andrew Shepard and Josiah Bartlet aren’t going to show up and be the hero. This isn’t a John Ford movie – the cavalry isn’t coming over the hill.

    See my 29. I get real tired of this, real fast.

    And my mood is already not the best, so keep pushing that button. See what happens.

    Do you know me? No.

    So don’t you dare presume to draw inferences about who I am. I hate that when people I know do that, so imagine how I feel when total strangers have the stones to try it?

    Back off. NOW. This is your only warning, because I will not ask again.

    Anybody who finds Dana Loesch too erudite should not be allowed to play with anything more dangerous than a 2-inch piece of string.

    Why do we even need an opposition? We seem to be very adept with the circular firing squad.

    Yeah, they like elections up to and until “their guy” doesn’t win. Then it’s obvious that the masses didn’t know what they were doing, or the elections were rigged (irony alert!), and the best option would be to “correct” the clearly flawed process using overwhelming force.

    C. Montgomery Burns is who you are thinking of. Smithers is his bootlicking toady, which perfectly describes the job of the WaPo’s ombudsman.

    Nah, can’t use the BCS system. It’ll ignore all the evilness coming from the west coast and those unaffiliated schemers who don’t perpetrate their deeds on national television.

    Considering in the previous 5 games behind the same offensive line Kyle Orton got sacked a total of 9 times, and that Miami’s defense rang up a total of 8 sacks in their last 5 games combined, I would say more likely than not.
