And clearly haven't read the post, which you've just admitted to doing.
You see, by not reading what she wrote you've totally got the context wrong and gone off the rails by focusing on just one word.
Ironically, I read the subject line of your reply and skipped straight to reply.
BTW I remember you said something in the 1st edition of your 1st reply about Natalie being ignorant. Another irony is that you're openly admitting that you're wilfully keeping yourself ignorant of what she actually said.
Also, you seem to like throwing "luddite!" around as if it's an insult, whereas on DU it should be taken as a compliment.

LOL! So, if 3 people agree with Donald Trump that makes him correct about the President's BC?

I thought the same thing when I read it -- superior performance undercut by cheaper and crappier

K&R But that was a very bad analogy. The leader of a political party really needs to be more
