Hey, Anon, loosen up.

Let's try going with the full quote.

"You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley."

Change the last sentence from "Charley" to "Marcus." Then -

" ... It was you, Marcus. If you'd raced snowmobiles, worked in oil fields, had a commercial fishing license instead of that clinic. I coulda been Dobson's Hobson's choice. I used to wear glasses. I talk smack. It coulda been me. Me! I coulda undercut the old man, gone rogue, signed books, made all that royalties cash. A shot at the top. It coulda been me. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me ... I coulda taken Biden apart! Instead he and Obama, get that title shot night at the ballpark. I get a pack of staff I can't get along with. He gets free housing in DC. Me. A contender. No for free Fox stuff, them idiots. A book, coulda been a book. Bucks on every one sold."

It's all there, Anon. Fits together like an AARP online puzzle.

You are one goffy son of a bitch! An old man with the mentality of a 10 year old. Just what the hell is your story ? How can someone with a education become such a loser? You have nothing to show for your life here on earth. You live in the gutter with your fellow Socialists begging for scraps from working people. And to top it off you think your thought process is normal! What a disgusting old bastard.

Anon - Were I, hypothetically, a coward, I would conceal my identity and misspell.

However, unlike some, I am not ashamed to put my name to my writing or to my thinking.

Cowardly people are a burden on society, and worse, on themselves because they can be bitter and nasty but afraid. That is an unhealthy mindset. A pathology, some might suggest.

And from someone as prosperous as you believe you are and as jealous as you are over what you have that you suggest having little compassion for anyone else ...

Not free from cowardice over who you are, when publicly saying something has my sympathy.

Do you vote GOP?

I have NO compassion for people that hate this country and what it stands for. I have NO compassion for people who accomplish nothing in there life and they feel they are entitled to my rewards. In both cases it describes you to a tee

Anon - So what does "this Country" "stand for?" And what are your qualifications to claim you are at all competent to comment on such an inexact and wide-ranging topic?

You own a teabag. What else?

As in, have you ever studied any history?

Do you read beyond the NRA mailings?

What?
