Interesingly, that's been *my* point all along, as well.

Well, goody for you. But the whole fucking point of *my* entry into this
thread was that *someone else* said that all conservatives were
traitors, and I took exception to that imprecise use of the term.

And then you lept to their defense, saying that I was just a
conservative trying to excuplate myself from a bunch of stuff you think
applies to me. But you know what? You are completely, totally, 100%
wrong about that. If you hadn't jerked your knee so terribly out of
whack, and instead asked about my political leanings, you'd have saved
yourself a lot of trouble.

That's why I can safely call you a reactionary.

You couldn't possibly be more confused.

OK, well, maybe you could, but you couldn't possibly be more confused
about the facts on the ground in this thread.
