Glen, a bit of advice if I may.... you've been tossing the word "love" around lately but this silly ploy of trying to paint me as "angry" and "hateful" is weak, and I want to believe you are better than that.
Yes, I agree... We have much in common and not just music. Though we have very different politics and ideas about what is best for America, we are both patriots who love our country and want it to succeed. We both hold the freedoms we are guaranteed near and dear. We both have little use and tolerance for those who would try to deny us that which we value so.
So.... I have to wonder how you've fallen under the spell of Boris who has zero love for this country and would rejoice, clapping his hands in glee were it to all come crashing down tomorrow.
How have you been so easily duped by this manipulative charlatan and huckster whose goal is to keep you and I... and our nation at each other's throats?
Be objective for a moment if you can, and re- read any part of that vampire's cesspool of a thread with an open mind for a moment.... does it all NOT read like the work of a Russian Hacker disseminating disinformation?
Does it not strike you as the work of someone whose only purpose is to fan the flames of hatred, and fuel distrust and discontent?
Does it not present as a VAMPIRE trying desperately to suck the last remains out of what we all DO have in common?
That's how it all clearly reads to me.
Consider for a moment that your first judgements and first impression of that manipulator were indeed correct. First impressions DO matter.
Don't let his pats on your back and his patronizing strokes congratulating you for a good post continue to allow him to play you. Because that's exactly what he's trying to do. He's a fraud.
Let these moments be the last he plays you.
And none of that, pal... was said out anger or hate... but you already know that.
