Sure there are lots of conservatives who struggle to pay the bills. When I was forty I had a mortgage, car loan, kid in college, the rest of the usual bills, no job and $87.00 in the bank.

I sure as hell didn't spend any time on frivolous activity. I worked twelve and fifteen hour days until I bought myself the luxury of idle hours spent in front of a screen.

There is something inherently ass-backwards with a self-professed conservative who doesn't have two nickles to rub together yet spends countless hours being cute on the internet.

There is absolutely nothing 'elitist' about expecting a sober, adult, responsible conservative American man to act like one and take care of business before spending hours in front a screen, whether it's to play shooter games, surf porn or post cute gifs for the applause of strangers.

In fact, expecting such a self-described person to secure his financial future as a first priority is, or should be, a baseline minimum expectation.

If anybody in such slim financial straits were a ghetto dweller who spent his days playing Black-Ops instead of getting his ass down to Burger King to take orders for minimum wage folks on this forum would be tripping over themselves to villify him.

What, exactly is the difference?

The difference is that some dishonest person on the internet screaming about someone’s financial situation he knows nothing about makes for good comedy.

And just what would such a person know about being a conservative?

Real ones keep their word and such.

Don’t you have a PDS 12 step program to attend or something?

You obviously know nothing about Lazamataz.

I've known him since he was a child, living on the back streets of Harlem.

He was born a poor black child with a cleft lip and blind in one eye.
He overcame these challenges and elevated himself out of poverty
and squalor and into a much better situation, using only his own two
hands and his own keen mind. He did not let his speech defect
or his partial blindness or his deformity deter him in the pursuit
of his goals.

Dig that railroad tie out of your own eye before you worry about the splinter in Laz's one good eye.

Maybe he’s lucky like me and has a job that lets one spend most of their working day on the computer.

The difference, asshat, is you have exactly ZERO clue about my finances, the duration of any shortage, and the cause thereof.

F***in troll. Why you are suffered to be on Free Republic astounds me.

While it’s true that thrift and hard work are among the most noble of traits, without knowing Lazamataz personally I think it would be difficult, if not impossible, to judge him on either of these characteristics.

I don’t think the amount of time one spends on an internet forum is evidence enough to make any conclusion about that individual, especially if they are a total stranger.

Maybe this is good time to just let it be and go have a coffee or beer or something?

For all you know, Laz could have had his car stolen or had a financial setback by helping a friend in an emergency situation in recent months.

Your comments are off-base, wtc911.

No excuses, no defense. Your original comment was asinine and at face value adds to the I-got-mine/selfish A-hole narrative of which liberals love to paint conservatives.

>> a self-professed conservative who doesn’t have two nickles to rub together yet ...

Apparently he does, and is willing to pay the seller in advance over time. Not much monetary interest to be gained banking the money until the trade is made. Furthermore, paying in advance reserves the weapon. Nothing here violates conservatism.

Maybe you’re not convinced Laz is truly interested in purchasing the AR-15, but is nonetheless interested in the prospect of openly owning one.
