I warned Bowser when he got here that you right-niks were coarse and aggressive and would show no mercy on him.
He also started out polite, but when you're in a place where they throw rocks, then rock-throwing is acceptable.
Although I may not agree with Bowser all the time, he HAS made some good points, even if he's making them because:
a) he CAN
b) he's being the Devil's Advocate
c) he knows he's tweeking your set of belief systems
d) he's just having some literary fun at your anal expense

>"his hatred for the President and for the American right has poisoned his posts if not his thoughts, and the loathing seems to have spilled over onto the country as a whole."

Interesting you see it this way.
Half the people I know are for this war, the other half dead-set against it.
A lot of us KNEW Bush meant trouble, he and his cronies; we KNOW their "game".
And we cringe.
You can't blame him for feeling that America is going down the drain......he's not the only one.

>"His posts have taken on a somewhat predictable, one-dimensional quality, which I think is really sad coming from an individual of such obvious intelligence and heart."

Well, he started out with good intentions, but he's getting to know everyone very well.
Why say in four paragraphs what you can say in four sentences?
He is only trying to defend himself and what he believes.
Frankly, I missed the old codger while he was gone.
Davin's picking up some of the slack.....LOL.
We need more BALANCE here!
