Farrakhan is an extremist.
As a guy firmly entrenched in the middle of the road (insert grin),
sometimes I wish these radical characters would pipe down a bit. It
gives the Limbaugh League and the Hannity Clan a really noisy target
and the next thing you know the talk is going around, "Here's what
liberals *all* think about this or that........."


Are you are saying that you are 'middle of the road' politically and
represent the majority of views/opinions of US citizens Chuck?


BTW: How are you working on that apology you owe me? ;-)

Did you miss "insert grin"?
Compared to Farrakhan, I am middle of the road.
I don't care whether my views agree or disagree with the majority- I
think for myself, and the majority do not think at all.



BTW: How are you working on that apology you owe me? ;-)


It will be forthcoming if and when I'm convinced that somebody else was
sock-puppeting Skipper. There is compelling evidence that it was your
handiwork, and no evidence so far that it was anybody else.

Chuck, it seems that approach, guilty until proven innocent, is a favorite of
liberals.

Are there many conservatives who cannot recognize individual behavior
and must fit everything observed into one of a few stereotypes?

Make that "suspected" until proven innocent. Guilt would be a matter
for a court of law. Not guilty merely means there isn't sufficient
proof. Few people are ever really "innocent".

I always enjoy seeing some right winger blowing down the freeway with his
yellow plastic "support our troops" sticker plastered over a door ding on
the fender of his Suburban. I often honk and wave, with all my fingers. I
am in complete agreement with the literal meaning of that sentiment, (but
not the "code" talk it stands for in many cases-"Hurrah for the invasion of
Iraq").

Close, but no cigar.

If I had said "all right wingers blow down the freeway in
Suburbans......." that would be a stereotype. If you read carefully, I
said "some right wingers" blow down the freeway........"

I also said I was in complete agreement with the literal meaning of the
bumper sticker. I doubt that John H is often in complete agreement with
the literal meaning of any of my opinions.

Had John said, "a favorite of some liberals" he would not have been
stereotyping, but he didn't. He claims to be a fan of binary thinking,
and in binary thinking stereotypes are probably indispensible.

Chuck,
You crave attention. So does Harry
You are a word crafter. So is Harry.
You claim great knowledge of boats. So does Harry.
You are into cameras and photography So is Harry.
You are a political extremist. So is Harry.
You have rental property. So does Harry.
Your personality is much like Harry's
You are an expert on everything. So is Harry
You torment Skipper. So does Harry
You avoided military service. So did Harry
You claimed "I served my country a different way". I believe those were
Harry's exact words.
You think your **** doesn't stink. So does Harry
Should we assume that you and Harry are one and the same?

Where did I claim to be a fan of binary thinking? How would you define 'binary
thinking'? How do stereotypes and binary thinking go together? Are you
stereotyping binary thinkers? (If such things exist?)

Pertinence?

I am absolutely innocent of pretending to be Skipper, as are most others
(perhaps *all* others) in the group.
