Recovering Republican, Please Step Into the Hallway for a Moment

Nobody, including me, has a problem with his expressing his opinions. That’s what message boards are for. His supposed “throwaway comments”, however, are deliberate snark and intended to rile people up, which is pretty much the definition of a troll. I spent a very large portion of my working life as either a government (state and federal) employee or as a civilian contractor, and his remarks are offensive to me. I would venture to say that I have more experience with military, government workers and contractors than this cheesedick has ever had, and he’s way the fuck off base in his sneering remarks. I’d be willing to bet that part of it is envy on his part for having to take military pay while contractors were making real money. Well, you makes your choices and you takes your chances, bub. I have a niece and a nephew who are both school teachers, and who work damn hard to be the best they can be. So fuck you on that score also, lamebrain. Keep a civil tongue in your head.

Whatever, guy, you’re just jealous of his amazing debate skills. RR has so much to teach us all…

"President Obama announced today that he is opening the US Strategic Reserves of Sarcasm, due to a sudden and entirely unexpected depletion of supply. ‘Everything was fine up until about 6:45 this evening’ said a government spokesman ‘then suddenly it was all used up!’ "

If he calls somebody “guy” one more time, I think my head will explode.

Hey, you call yourself “guy,” guy? Why, guy?

That’s OK, I’ll go with another Groucho line: RR has the brain of a four year old child, and I bet the kid was mighty glad to get rid of it.

What, no love for Exapno?

I love Exapno, but that line belongs to the RT Firefly character in Duck Soup.

Harpo is awesome, but he’s kind of hard to quote. :wink:

BTW, I recommend Roy Blount’s book about the movie. Fun, quick read.

Still, a plucky fellow!

Horny, too.

I see what you did there. :slight_smile:

I’m willing to engage Recovering Republican in intelligent conversation. I’m just unmoved by arguments that hinge on racism, patriotism or American exceptionalism and as far as I can tell that’s about 75% of his repertoire.

Only 75%? The rest is conjunctions?

Well, my sample size is small since I don’t usually meander through the Elections forum (it’s very repetitive - there must be ten or twenty threads on Republican hopefuls - and it’ll likely stay that way until the primaries), so the margin of error could be plus or minus 40%.

Really, his posts are antique Republican canards connected by…

(snooze)

Am I back in 1978? Conjunction Junction, what’s your function?

I don’t know why he keeps going on about Obama and the government failing to solve the unemployment problem. I mean, that’s just a socialistic viewpoint espoused by people who think that the world owes them a living.

He’s even been warned about hijacking his own threads. That’s dedication.

Haha, within 3 posts he hijacked his own thread. That’s epic. I mean, he just laid the trap to put that comment down. FFS.

I wonder, what with his 800 posts per day and willingnes to take on the board he hasn’t come to his own pit thread. Does he maybe have a bet with someone that he can constitute 50% of the posts in the elections forum without getting banned?

He demonstrated his reading comprehension skills in post 19.
