Beccy: Maybe I am an "obnoxious ass." You, on the other hand, have made 341 posts in the forum, of which 14 arguably related to music, including 6 on home schooling children. Basically, you are only interested in the political threads. And aside from disagreeing with your point of view, I object to people who are constantly throwing slogans and invective rather than trying to discuss things rationally.
But attacking people's patriotism when they disagree with you is the cheapest kind of cheap shot. Arguments like that deserve no respect. If you can't live with being told it is a cheap shot, rough.
