Fair enough, but please keep in mind that when it comes to libertarians in general, and Paulians in particular, I don't have much of a sense of humor.

Jokes on you then.

I am neither libertarian nor a Paulinian.

I am a Conservative.

I am honest enough to point out my dissatisfaction with the direction taken by the GOP in recent years.

I have not been calling for a 3rd party, although I do think that if the GOP doesn't get it's collective shit together we will see a big movement for one in the next few election cycles.  I have in fact, if you would take the time to pay attention to what I have repeatedly posted, been calling for conservatives to take back the GOP.

Sparky, as ironic as it may seem I'm going to go to bat for rich concerning his tone.

rich, like many others here, was witness to The Great Rebel-Lago Flame War of 2009. rich believes, with reasonable cause, that this is an issue that can get me spun up rather easily. While I would offer that it was my opposite member's acidity and lack of civility rich nonetheless saw a tremendous amount of emotional energy expended by both sides and I assume he had no small amount of sport watching such antics.

In short: he's yanking my chain.

In this I lay no blame upon him and ask that instead of condemning him, please, take him at his word that he intends no direct offense and if you too can find humor in it by all means be my guest.

 :cheersmate:

I was yanking your chain a bit and I'm glad that you could see that.  But I suppose I really need to let it go.

It was fun while it lasted.   :cheersmate:
