I’d gladly fight on the same team. And I’d fight on the same team with 70times7 and probably most people here. Probably with Buck too.

The hard part is knowing how best to fight. It’s a fair question.

Maybe we need some to fight hand-to-hand while the others appear to turn tail and run only to flank them from the backside so we can meet in the middle when we’ve cleaned up our particular side of the battle.

I won’t begrudge Buck wanting to sneak in through the back, nor would I shoot him for appearing to leave the battle I’m directly in. I just need the assurance that he knows who the real enemy is.

Maybe we could use “dumbass” as a code word so we know it’s the non-Muslim version of taqiyya - to say the opposite of what you really mean in order to deceive people and gain power. He could call us dumbasses and wink, and the media would fawn over him and we would know he was just BS-ing the media to get power so he could hit the enemy from behind. I could live with that I guess.

I should have pinged you to this one too.
