No. I am actually dumber than I appear in my posts. That is the reason you were taken aback. Actually, the post I referenced from American Spirit (#171319) was most excellent. There are no errors in it. It is error-free. Read said post again and learn from it. Re: "Show me one example of someone slamming poor people." Do your own keyword search, clown. I typed in the word "welfare" and came up with 80 examples within the last fortnight alone on the GWB thread. Some of those posts containing the word "welfare" were from right-wingnuts slamming the disenfranchised ... those for whom the Statue of Liberty was erected. The fact that you would actually attempt to rebut my contention, rather than try to mitigate, is laughable. Re "responsibility": My advice would be to focus on several right-wingnuts who post all day on Silicon Investorville. They could go out and get real jobs, but they are "above" hard work. All hard work is honorable.
