To: teethodore; neverdem
Am I supposed to recognize the name David Brooks? I don’t. . . . Googled him. Oh, he writes for the New York Times, and does commentary on PBS. So why would you quote him on this website? How is it you’re even reading his stuff? He asked suspiciously.

Who is 'teethodore'? How is it you don't know who David Brooks is, or more importantly, how is it you would think to question a long time, quality Freeper like 'neverdem'??

Oh wait! You signed up 3 days ago? Are you a troll, he asked suspiciously??

Yeah, I signed up, is it only three days ago? Seems a lot longer. So I don’t know who neverdem is yet. I think I’ve been accused of being a troll 3 times already. Not sure if that’s actually a compliment. I don’t read the New York Times. Who David Brooks is is one of the few things I didn’t know. I do know some odd things you might find interesting, like John Hanson was the first President of the United States.

Teethodore is an old nickname for Theodore Roosevelt, one of the most popular presidents of any party, and a Republican who knew competitive markets were better than markets “freely” run by monopolies. I think some modern Republicans get confused about that. And Libertarian/Anarchists are all too happy to exploit that confusion.

I think about this every time I pass a gas station. Their prices are all within a few pennies of each other. And why shouldn’t they be? Around here, all the gasoline, every drop, comes from the same refinery. The stations might have different names on them, but they aren’t really competing.

Maybe I am on the wrong website. I went looking for an unofficial Republican site. The official ones all seem too . . . scrubbed and shiny. You know what I mean? This one seems a lot more lively. But some people seem a little hostile, like maybe I’m hurting some Anarchists’ feelings.

GOOD!
