Will is spot on, here. Hammer met nail. Brilliant piece and obvious — truth in a nut shell.

There are certain people here you don’t criticize and certain politicians.....but as long as email accounts are free and I can change my ip address, i’ll be back....LOL..

When good people learn the truth they always make the right decisions.

Those who lie to good people bear a tremendous responsibility.

Barack Obama has no idea what will happen when good people learn the truth about him.

Btw, when I replied to you, I didn’t know you were getting whacked already. I replied because you missed the target by a mile, because you didn’t like the guy who errected the target.. Didn’t mean to pile on.

That was pretty stupid on the poster’s part. Who knows on the internet?

I just don’t appreciate the level of conversation being dumbed down on FR and the tolerance of trolls now.

I would say you have excellent instincts, a great sense of smell and are very astute at summing up character, and you don’t take long doing any of it. Like lightening. Neat. ;D

Thanks for the kudos. I’ve been around nine years and can sniff out a troll pretty well. Seems pretty easy around election season.

I’ve been taking a break from FR, but checked in and spotted that one in one post. Like fish in a barrel. LOL

Best to you!

California. Detroit.

Not meant to knock Nevada but I’m sick of cities and states that keep voting in Rats then complaining about the mess.

Obviously the good minority’s of conservative voters suffer along with them.

Perhaps the Obsma young voter who has no job would be a better example.

For that matter calling them “leftists” isn’t accurate either.
