“Stick to the political stuff and stop moralizing.”

I cannot do that. Morality is what defines me politically and personally (mostly). It is my strongly held opinion that the separation of “morality” from “politics” is the primary cause of trouble in this country. I am primarily a “moral conservative” followed by national security one. Fiscal conservatism is not as important to me (except the common sense that you can’t tax yourself into prosperity or you should never live beyond your means) As Reagan defined conservatism...I am primarily two of the three legs.

Whatever, my apology to you still stands. I was wrong to think/write you were a “dirty old man.” I know that is not true. You are simply a personal friend of Ms. Coulter. I will no longer question your judgement. I would be upset if someone asked me to turn on a dear friend.

Furthermore, it is a waste of time to continue to argue over the meaning of “slang.” However, I am correct to point out that “Hot” is an inappropriate way describe a lady (in the same way as I refuse to call a male homosexual “gay”). We are rapidly developing a society where there are no longer “gentlemen” (and I include myself in that “failed” category - I am not the gentleman I should be).

The moralizing I was talking about is that which is directed towards people you don't like with improper designations of that person's being.

Politically, oh yeah.

Hot is not a derogatory statement made towards women, and it is not analogous to gay/homosexual at all.

Most intelligent aware women know that and do not understand it in the way you do.

The older ladies (your age and above) really got a kick out being called a hot babe. In my experience it is appreciated and taken in the light hearted manner in which it is expressed

And no, I don't hang out with s***s and w****s.
