So thanks to the teachings of John Fuggelsang, some right wing nut job just blocked me from commenting on his post about the border. Dude kept using the old testament and ignored the "welcome the stranger". I find this inability to self reflect on his behalf both disturbing and quite satisfying. What an uneducated wimp.

It was great fun, until every one of them banned me for using my free speech they're always harping about.

But I do have fun when I run into them in person, which, in my slightly saner area of fundieville, is infrequent.
