Anonymous asked: you're the perfect person to run your mouth off as a great conservative leader on tumblr: you're young, not a real activist, uneducated, living off your family, weak, belligerent, serving this country in no capacity, not responsible, taking on the affectation of idiot drug abusers like limbaugh, a name caller, disrespectful of others' opinions, and constantly poisoning the well of discussion with vile rhetoric
you're not a goddamn conservative, your opinions and blog are some kind of neo-con fascist hitler youth frankenstein monster scrapped up from the disturbed and diluted post-bush senior fools who love to pretend they are real red-blooded americans as they hand guns over to anyone who is the enemy of our "enemies"
you've got no idea what it takes to believe in good old american conservativism and to believe in democracy if all you aim to do is to belittle and insult others, which is just the weak and tired tactics of chicken hawks and paltry carpet baggers
Well, here’s a hate mail I don’t get a lot, finally. Probably because most of it is flagrantly false, but you at least get points for originality.
For the record, though:
- I’m 31 this year. A young’un by some standards, but an old man compared to the rest of Tumblr’s denizens.
- Thank you kindly. My thoughts on activism.
- I’ve got a JD and an MA—more than at least 90% of the country by recent estimates.
- I’ve been living on my own since graduating high school. (If dorms don’t count, then since getting my MA in philosophy back in ‘02.)
- My daily morning routine consists of 100 push-ups, among other things.
- >neo-con fascist hitler youth
>chicken hawk
>carpet bagger
>name caller
I lol’d. - Certainly not serving it militarily, if that’s all you mean—I enjoy being alive.
- OK, OK—I’ll stop now. Don’t want to hurt his feelings too bad.
You’re right about one thing, though—I’m not a conservative or a republican, as I’ve stated openly on this blog more than a few times. The title is a misnomer—one I elected with intention back before there weren’t many anti-liberal blogs around. I like to call myself a federalist.
You know, Anon, if I weren’t so busy laughing my ass off at your blatant idiocy, I’d question whether you’d read anything I’d written at all.
