Except I am NOT retired. I am working.
Your issue is your penchant for ascribing to yourself knowledge about someone you do not have.
And if I post ( in your words ), preposterous articles, it does not necessarily mean that I agree with what the author of the article says. If it were the case then FR will have to be like Facebook or Twitter, only accepting articles they like and not allowing anything from the mainstream media.
If you disagree with the author, you are free to give your reasons for doing so. Don’t take it against a fellow FReeper who simply posts the article to elicit reasonable responses.
Oh no, no, no, no ... that stinkbait is all over you.
You post without regard to whether what you are posting moves the constitionalist conservative movement forward a yard for a 1st down.
THAT is the yardstick here, the ONLY yardstick here, and although I have not won this argument yet with the powers-that-be, don't be surprised if you wake up one day and find that indeed, I have won the argument, and FR has finally returned to a measure of posting sanity that --excludes-- the MSM garbage you and your distaff twin seem to enjoy shitcanning this site to the brim with ...so you both enjoy your personal posting stupor while you can...
