Oh, I don't want anybody poking at the admin there. The guy used to be a friend of mine. I've been in his home many times, and he's been in mine, and our wives and kids were just like peas and carrots. It's a tragedy that we can't be friends any more.

But he's just so intensely political. I put politics aside when it comes to people; he simply can't. He's been seriously suffering since Obama took over, and believe me, he hated Bush just as much. He's a Paulista to the max: His bumper sticker says "Ron Paul was right." It got to the point that he just couldn't be friends with a liberal Democrat who supports Obama, the ACA, and our local congresscritter, Brad Miller. OMFG, does he hate Brad Miller, and he knows I've done phone bank and a ton of other work for Brad. But the main reason he hates Brad is, he voted for the ACA.

He hates Obama so much, he tries to be a birther now and then, but it's like our Patricia: he's too smart and honest. He wants to believe ... he had a blorgasm when Sheriff Joe held his presser ... but when I showed him W4's awesome debunk of it, he sobered up again. He'd love it if Obama was ineligible, but at the same time he supports gay marriage. Complex guy. He has a garden. If a deer or other varmint gets too close, motion detectors set off powerful sprinklers. Scare the crap out of the varmints, and water the garden at the same time. He's from N'awlins. Remember the ladies flipping out about how great gator tastes? He cooked me gator like that. I still gots some love for the man, though he pisses me off royally.

I'll give him this much: He IS a freakin' genius, and his warped and stupid political beliefs ARE honestly held. He's been absolutely freaking out since Thursday morning. He's put up a lot of posts with the words "Roberts" and "traitor" in them. If he did Twitter, he'd be on that list of "End of America" twits. He hated the ACA more than anyone I know. He took a bus up to D.C. with a bunch of other people just to protest at the Capitol the day before they passed it, and had an intoxicating experience. 'Course, he has a nice job with a big corporation and has great health insurance for him and his fambly. He just doesn't ever want to pay another nickel of taxes as long as he lives.

He was so sure the Supremes were going to strike down the ACA, and he was expecting a huge surge in the markets as a result. America saved: Who could possibly be unhappy about that? The markets were gonna soar. He actually spent some money, expecting a windfall ...

So he's really, really sensitive right now. I don't want to be permanently baned there. I yanked his chain, and I'll takes my lumps.

You can read there, though. It's not just RWNJs; I haz a few liberal supporters there. Look for AlleyCat, 7rob7, and Nick Name. I've been on that board since it began. There was a time when it was a great forum, but his libertarian principles wouldn't allow him to moderate and squelch the flame wars; in fact, he's a flamer himself, and the flame wars chased away a lot of decent, good people. I personally brought more than 75 people to that forum; I just about singlehandedly populated the place, by keeping together a group that met on a now defunct newspaper forum. Sadly, there aren't even 30 people left, total, who use the board on a regular basis. I spent about a thousand bucks to promote the board, in donations to him and advertising efforts of my own. But I couldn't get him to moderate the board, and all my efforts came to naught. So I was pissed at his lack of moderation, and he was pissed that I voted for several Great Satans, and the friendship fell apart.

Such is life.
