I Am Shocked, Shocked that U.S. Gov Abused Blank Check Powers

[Oleander Ardens]

I would prefer it that patrons do not use insulting generalisations that amount to personal attacks on other members. This tends to result in tit-for-tat flame wars.

There are some very ethical and intelligent members of this forum that happen to have Republican sympathies.

Thank you kindly.

Thanks for the correction. I intended to say "governing" Republicans and ethics and "governing" Republicans and intellect are Oxymorons.

Still insulting.

Not really oxymoronic either, since neither word pairing is a typical phrase or title. People have jibed about the oxymoronic quality of "Military Intelligence" or "Jumbo Shrimp" for a long time now, but you are trying to force the word pairings.

"Republican Ethicist" and "Republican Intellectual" would be more in line with the viscious point you are trying to make.


Then again, maybe I am incorrect. Since I've voted GOP most of my life, I'm probably too dumb to understand your point -- or maybe too busy with my "who do we subjugate next" committee work.

See, if you weren't such a dummy you'd know that it's "whom do we subjugate next."

Which vaults grammar-nazis to the top of the list...
