What else do you want to know?
Thanks - quite vague - but a good start. I can't make this part of my siggy, but its going to be brought up again next time I support or defend a classic conservative position on any economic, political, or social issue, and you come out swinging.
We'll talk again.

There are just too many people here wearing masks and pretending to be what they're not.
Also the coin of the realm.

I am so old that I can remember when most of the people promoting race hate were white.
Dammit, Droopy. You had to bring politics into my thread?! WTH?
