But if that flag-waving comes off as somewhat simple-minded and robotic, then that can defeat the purpose.

And, I guess I am idiotic if I think this is a trash Sean comment.

Did you ever have a first grade teacher? Did you criticize her too?

Is there something wrong with your TV switch? Or are you just trying to drum up ratings for a competitor to Sean?

LOL ........... "are you an idiot" ...........that is a possibility. (Remember "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid" when the gambler said......... when he found out it was the Sundance Kid he just accused of cheating him .......... "if I draw on you, you'll probably kill me"............... YES, that is a possiblitity.

That fits you very well here.

Hey sweet, weak Clancy.............. my first grade teacher back in 1953 used to like to make me (and others) squat down under her desk when I (we) was bad in class. Yoi...... the view! ...... was there something intentional there?
