One can only assume that the OP is uninterested in discussion, but instead prefers snappy retorts and provocation. He did not return to this thread to respond to the serious posts/questions. Instead he continued to spread snappy retorts and provocation in other threads throughout the evening. We have a word for that sort of poster around here. ---

Let’s see, we have incoherent ranting, disorganized parenthetical structure, dubious claims, blatant typos. Oh, and we have this as a lead-out thesis: > [@bullrun](#): > > Look at obama. I can really rest my case just at the mention of his name. [What we have here is a troll. A fucking idiotic troll.](http://austrianeconomists.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451eb0069e2011570ea5170970c-800wi) Fail. ---

At the risk of taking you seriously, **bullrun** , what are some questions you’d like to see on such an exam? ---

Actually, you know what? What the hell. I’m for it. The Republicans would get _creamed_ on any history test by the Dems. It would be hysterical. We’d have like 10% of the Rupugs able to pass the exam. ---
