The whole article drips with contempt for “sheep”. I’ll tell you another phrase. Don’t p**s down my back and tell me its raining...

Perhaps, but I am what I am. I can tell you that the only folks who will show the level of outrage that you display are themselves: "sheep." I guess I struck a nerve, huh? The only thing I find contemptible about sheep are their constant efforts to defang the sheepdogs who will not only always stand between the sheep and physical danger but will indeed lay down their very lives to keep the sheep safe. Why are you so angry?

I’m angry at the duplicity being exhibited by a group that blatantly insults others but attempts to cover it up by a cowardly disclaimer to the contrary. You yourself admit this - you stated at first that there is no moral superiority involved, but then agreed that you “am what I am” at the assertion that the whole article drips with contempt for “sheep”!

Besides, why should I not be angry? Being compared to a sheep is not generally considered a compliment. Who enjoys being insulted? As for this ridiculous assertion you make:

“The only folks who will show the level of outrage that you display are themselves “PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH ME”. There, fixed it for you. :)

I have nothing but respect for warriors. I think that those who daily put their lives on the line for the rest of us are worthy of nothing but the best, the utmost support, and the greatest of commendation. I have absolutely no desire to “defang” them. Quite the contrary.

I know enough about war to know that I would make a very bad soldier. I am what I am too. A man should know his limitations. I do what I can by working in the defence industry, and I stand my ground against all the peaceniks and well-meaning do-gooders that think that makes me unprincipled and possibly an accessory to murder. There are all kinds of battlefields.
