I almost don't think it's a troll. I believe we really could have ourselves an honest liberal (probably 19-20) who doesn't understand the animosity.
Only problem is that "longtime reader" comment. Only a troll would think like that.
No, I am the "honest liberal," (sort of, sometimes). That explains my longevity. Always engage, always answer fair questions, always put one's cards on the table, always explain. It works like a charm. LOL.
