How would you characterize him?

on a forum that is read internationally.


On a public forum that is read internationally, I would
characterize him as being a disappointment


If that works for you, fine. But he's not been a disappointment to
me. He has surpassed my expectations. You have no idea how much I
wish he had been an extreme disappointment.

I would not name-call, gloat, or go digging for old dirt for
personal satisfaction........


I wouldn't, and think I don't, gloat.

Years ago I wrote a post explaining that it's incumbent upon us
citizens of the USA to demonstrate to those in other countries
that we really do have the rights our Constitution says we do.
There are other constitutions around the world that have the
words but not the effect.


Phooey!!!!!!

Funny, Chris, how other people's bigotry and hate speech are
bigotry and hate speech, but your bigotry and hate speech is
protected free speech...


Read The Constitution! It's all protected speech. In fact, the more
offensive it is, the more bigoted it is, the more hateful it is, the
stronger the protection provided by the First Amendment!
All proper thinking people should frequently bow down to
thank the Founding Fathers for the Bill of Rights and the independent
judiciary that has done more than just about anything to make this
country, even with all the things wrong with it, the great place it
is today.

Try having an ICQ conversation with someone who lives in Malaysia or
China or other such countries. They will say to you that they are
afraid to talk about certain things, answer certain questions.

Cold War joke:
Citizen of USA says to USSR citizen "We have the right to
criticize our president". Soviet citizen replies: "So do we have the
right to criticize your president".
