**Reeder** has always been one of the more outspoken liberals on this board. But he has taken it to a whole new level. His most recent [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=192915). > [@](#): > > \*\*But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. > > Anyone familiar with this quote? Does anyone agree that perhaps the Bush admin fits such a description? > > I most certainly do. But let’s do it with the ballot box and not the gun.\*\* I don’t know. Is anyone familiar with this quote? Maybe if you attribute it, since it is in fact a quote, someone could tell you. Also on the front page of GD: [Again the Bush admin hits the working man. Comp time vs overtime.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=192907) Too bad everyone has thus far disagreed with you. [Iraqi oil to flow into Israel.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=192286) Here we see the now-standard **Reeder** posting style. Post a link that is anti-Bush, lay down a cheap little one-liner, and hit submit. This is all very familiar. **december** has to this point been the finest example, but **Reeder** is soon going to overtake him as a One-Trick-Pony, a biased, liberal hack. The only difference between the two right now is that Bush isn’t popular right now. **december** gets piled on simply for posting. **Reeder** doesn’t because he posts anti-Bush stuff. Well, that doesn’t make it any less annoying than **december** ’s stuff, IMO. Just give it a rest, dude, or at least try to post something of substance for once. ---

> [@](#): > > Is anyone familiar with this quote? Thomas Jefferson, as I recall. **Reeder** , enough already. If you want to discuss Bush’s War, please do. But there is no need whatsoever to spam the Board with new threads on the same damn subject five times a day. ---

**Airman Doors, USAF** …the quote is from here… [http://www.law.indiana.edu/uslawdocs/declaration.html](http://www.law.indiana.edu/uslawdocs/declaration.html) You aren’t familiar with it? Doesn’t surprise me. ---

**december** at least puts some substance into his OP’s. He outlines a position, poses a question, etc. **Reeder** is just some moron who discovered the wonders of the inter-web, and keeps posting links to news items, with a one-line quip. Fark and Drudge already take care of that. **Reeder** is terribly stupid, no question there. But even worse are the morons posting the, “I like duh updayts!” in his OP’s. Right or Left, they are definitely part of the problem. Read a fucking paper, for Christ’s sake. ---

I just post what I read. As I’ve said before…if you don’t like what I post don’t read it. I checked the board FAQ…nothing there says you must open Reeders threads. Honest…check for yourself. ---

Ever noticed how they end up being debated? Even you have added your Bush bootlicking drivel to them. Why is that? ---

Let me see… OMG…The WMD were looted!..68 posts Hatch says destroy the downloaders computers…119 posts Again the Bush admin hits the working man. Comp time vs overtime…29 posts An interesting quote…perhaps pertaining to the Bush admin…8…so far. Seems to me…someones debating in those. ---

**Airman Doors, USAF** …I am sorry I embarrassed you. I just thought that someone so into our government would be familiar with our founding documents. My bad. I will never assume that again. ---

You didn’t embarass me, not one bit. I, unlike you, don’t pretend to have all the answers, and I say so when I don’t know. Fact is, I never said I didn’t know what it was from. I didn’t but that again is proof that you assume too much. The Comp-time thread is proof. You assumed that people would be outraged at the idea. You were wrong, and now you have egg on your face, trying to salvage something out of nothing. ---

Hey, _ **I** _ like reading **December** posts and Ops. (Well, okay, I don’t care for the latest one about dwarf tossing.) While I agree that **Airman Doors, USAF** has some legitimate complaints, I don’t feel that they are actionable complaints as the transgressions are minor and the sufficient remedy is readily available, (and already suggested). ---

In that context it was intended differently, kinda like “I don’t know, maybe **Reeder** ’s being an ass?”. I thought it was obvious from the sarcasm coming afterward, but next time I’ll be more clear for you. ---

Boy, you’re something. You misinterpret something and call me a weasel? I can see how that could happen. It’s a trend with you. After all, you misinterpeted “I did not have sex with that woman”. Why should I expect anything different? ---

**Reeder** would have to give up posting in other fora for years if he wanted to equal **december’s** level of one-trickedness: ```auto Threads posted in (by forum) Reeder december GQ 836 49 GD 211 1465 CS 262 2 IMHO 254 16 MPSIMS 357 12 BBQ 256 517 tot # of threads posted to 2176 2061 tot # posts 2845 6757 ``` **Reeder’s** just too “fair and balanced” to merit the accusation of being a “liberal **december**.” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/reeder-the-liberal-december/183903.md?page=2)
