*Pretty far*?
Oh Mr. Jenkins, (~or is it, "Professor Jenkins"?) either you've a propensity for understatement unlike anything I've run across in a very, long time indeed!
Or, you've one hellova sense of humor.
Really now, could I convince you Karl Marx was little more than a union steward?
"...but I would say ask me about certain things to figure out where I am at."
No thank you.
Not interested in, "figuring out where you're at."
I much prefer spending the next few minutes telling you where I'm at, instead.
OK?
"I support the right to keep and bear arms, and I believe strength comes from outside the political circles for example."
That's very good, Mr. Jenkins.
But please, consider my wondering aloud strictly a rhetorical question, alright?
"Why" are you supporting such positions while maintaining an extreme leftist posture??
Not very *consistent*, Mr. Jenkins.
Well as I already said, purely rhetorical.
The only question [about you] which overwhelmes the "hows" & "whys" motivating the extremist America-hating quasi-socialist ideology you appear so proud to embrace and endorse?
Just has to be -- for me -- why are you here? [read: Free Republic]
Not that you've no right; or, that I have any say, one way or the other.
I assure you, I have no input concerning much of anything around here.
Still, I'd have to say right now the $64 question -- & one paramount to your longevity? -- would just have to be, who gets to stay here?
~eh?
Having said that, and, after perusing (your?) website?
I noticed (you?) reserved -- no, make that, "dedicated" -- a *special* place just for we citizens of Free Republic.
I believe the exact terminology (you?) use is, "Freak Republic"?
That right?
While I've no idea whatsoever whether or not Mr. Robinson will take offense to your smear? (~nevermind the utter chutzpah of [then] tracking the fecal matter right smack-dab into his home.)
I'm putting you on notice, now, that I do take exception.
Poor way to start out, Mr. Jenkins; very poor, indeed.
Suggestion: Perhaps "Democratic Underground" would be more to your liking as I'm told the number of enlightened "scholars" at DU, knows no bounds.
If that'd be the case, & you'd think you might enjoy exploring the possibilities DU holds for someone like you?
Well then, fixing this gaff isn't very hard, a'tall.
All you need do next time is instead of turning Right?
Turn Left.
(If it'd help? Try putting a pebble in your left pocket. When next you get to the yoke in the road, your confusion will be minimized, greatly.)
...you have a nice day Mr. Jenkins, y'hear?
