I question his
AUTHENTICITY, farmer.
Whipping the citizens was not part of the Founding philosophy.
( Incidentally, I have no clue qua the reason that he wants to WHIP anyone. )

No. Look, when u go to the bank
and u make a deposit, u expect the clerks not only to be
EXTREMELY accurate, but beyond that, u expect
absolute perfection of accuracy; right??
If u deposit $1,000 its not OK for them to give u credit for $900
nor for $975, along with the justification: "that's close enuf."
The criterion is
PERFECTION; deviation therefrom is
liberal, twisting.
U expect the bank clerk to be rational on-the-job, with
no deviation from rationality.
That is a conservative, orthodox application of the protocol of banking. Yes??
I deem conservatism to be application of the views of the Founders,
without distortion, with no deviation. I consider that to be
rational; extremely rational.
I also love
Barry Goldwater's dictum that:
"extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice
and . . . moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"
Your post makes me wonder if u 'd complain
that your surgeon's hands r
TOO extremely clean on-the-job.

Did I use that language?
I LIKE IT! Its very deep, farmer; very deep.
I suspect that the universe is made out of consciousness.

Yes; he sounds like an imposter.

Many of your species, like LArs LArsen or Savage, and obviously this guy, are just raving nuts.
I don't know them, so I can't comment about them.
