though I ask (not just you but also) everyone to remember quietly (I'll try not to keep repeating myself) that the Far Left is no more monolithic than most other groups. We have a strong pro-Obama faction as well. The Far Right appears indeed to be united in their crazed opposition, that I concede.

But I gave my promise to participate in keeping a prayer cover over Our Man and I certainly do. There are very few people on earth for whom I'd be willing to take a bullet (as I might indeed be forced to do eventually here in RedNeckLand), but it would be the greatest honor imaginable whether I appreciated the occasion or not. With any luck I might even get the chance somehow to continue to badger conservatives from beyond the grave. It would make a strong argument for reincarnation or at least haunting. I'll stop fighting those bastards when and only if I cease to exist on any plane.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't 'track' IrishAyes May 2013 #31
The only thing that doesn't track is your reference to "fun". truebluegreen May 2013 #32
