He's not normal. and that's why the hostility is directed at him.
So you're one of those "normal" Americans eh? I've never met one of thos critters. Does that mean that you're "exactly average" in ability rather than "slightly above average." Do you have 2.5 children? Do you alway take the middle of the road position on every issue? Do you watch the ever "normal" Larry King and Jay Leno (but hate those shows such as South Park)? What does a normal guy wear these days? What kinds of music does he listen to?
Of course.....if you're "normal" one wonders what you're are doing on an "extreme" site like Free Republic which most "normal" Americans think is populated by rightwing whackos and "wingnuts."
