Yup. Look, he’s already admitted to sympathizing with immoral positions; his ravings are read by Dopers in several states; he presents himself as a man – you could say that he’s putting on a Man Act – _ **IT ALL FITS** _!

Probably Teabaggers, Musselmen, Skinheads or young overly religious zealots.  
Very probably _not_ **Chronos** , **elucidator** , or a dirty hippy.

You closed your English book a little early that night. That sentence wasn’t up to par.

In some ways **Bricker** is like the anti-CurtisLemay. Sure they are from the generally same side of the political spectrum (which is opposite mine, but that’s not important), but wheras CLM will spout unsupported nonsense, Bricker attempts rational discourse and would likely never post as ridiculous and OP as this, with unsupported accusations.

Must be cuz he is a law-talking guy.
