I believe that he is a professor of etymology at one of the major uber liberal universities in CA. USC, UofC Berkley maybe?
Uh huh, in insectology (itself a useful field, but--) at one of the University of California-somewhere, not the main one.
The mike_c primitive is pompously anti-military, and not only against the military "establishment," but against those in uniform as individuals, whom he's slandered and denigrated before. Those who know him, here, at our old home, and on freerepublic, and who are in, or were in, the service, have a special, and justifiable contempt for the flatulent old hypocrite.
The mike_c primitive grew up in a close-knit, loving, Christian pacifist family in Kansas (one of those denominations of long-standing for centuries), something like the Mennonites (but I don't think it was that), but because he's such a foul ungrateful piece of shit, he rejected all that and chose a life of Hate instead.
He's about ready to retire on a lucrative professorial pension funded by a capitalist system he constantly harps against--but even though he's against it, he's not above taking its fruits, as much of it as he can get.
The mike_c primitive's just a gaseous old bum.
One of my favorite fantasies is that of when, as JohnnyReb calls them, the Star-and-Crescent head-choppers finally come around for their good friend the mike_c primitive, seeing the mike_c primitive crying and slobbering and pleading and begging and bawling, fondling and kissing the shoe of a soldier, to save his fetid skin.
I have nothing against Christian pacifism--that of long standing, endured under the most trying of conditions (the Mennonites, the Amish, the Schwenkfelders, the Seventh-Day Adventists, &c., &c., &c.)--but I do have much against decrepit old hippies who allege pacifism without God, which of course is preposterous, ridiculous, and based on Hate, not on peace and love.
