Question: what is the proper term for a person who claims to have

benefits of a high level of social organization yet pay for none of it;
who wants to suppress other citizen's rights yet claims he is promoting
freedom & liberty?

"Republican".

Personally, I'm thinking: "fascist troglodyte"... but many
consider that an insult (no matter how technically accurate
it is).

Well, within the range of averages for decency, let's say.
Except for an accident of geography & history, I'd probably
be registered as a Republican myself, most of my family
considers themselves "hereditary' Republicans.

BTW what does HTH. HAND. mean?

Although most of my family have realized that the main-street-business
limited-government Republicanism is very much a thing of the past.

HTH is a TLA that means "Happy to Help".
HAND is an FLA that means "Have a nice day".

Well, once the KKK'ers and the witch-burners realize how
badly they've been fooled, they will go back to fielding
their own candidates (or smoldering in the closet) and the
Republican Party will return to more mainstream politavics.

Unfortunately, the last few campaigns seem to have shown
that the one who flings the most mud, wins... the Democrats
seem willing to play this game but aren't very good at it,
even when abetted by the comical misbehavior of a lot of
high-profile Republicans.

I hope the next few election cycles show that Agrown-ups can
win elections in this country, or else we are in for
troubles that will make the past 5 years look like a
footnote in history.

Nope.

Being conservative means believing in principles & values, and sticking to
those principles & values even when they're not convenient & easy.

traditional values,

yet pay for none of it;

who wants to suppress other citizen's rights

A fascist dictator.

Okay. We stayed last visit at the Marriott Sydney

They warned you about going places at the Marriott?
It's a regular watering hole for me and friends who work
in that part
of the city.

That's what they were warrning them about.

Nope, I base my opinions on my time in the US.

Really?? How many times were you mugged here?

Narrowly avoided it by pulling out my official Paul Logan
replica knife
and saying, ''that ain't a knife, this is a knife''. Works
every time, mate.

Oiy!

What I find amusing is that I've lived my entire life
here, visited all of
the major urban areas as well as many of the mid-sized
ones, and I've yet to
have any of the experiences you've had. I can't help but
believe you're
venturing into the wrong neighborhoods. We have plenty of
those.


it might be the way Ozzy walks, more like ,sashays down the
street holding up his hankie and saying ''goo 'day mate'' to
everyone.
