    No, but you wrote something stupid when you insisted it was wrong to call her an American citizen.

    Now please, just stop. You're making me take LTL's side in an argument and that feels incredibly wrong.

    I actually predicted this on a different website months ago.

    Now the running joke is that if Trump wins, they will make me a moderator on that site.

    Can you imagine good old VB as a moderator?

    Yep. Johnson was stupid. No argument from me.

    Most of the Waters quotes aren't really funny at all. She has some valid points.

    Except she wasn't an American citizen, like you and me. She was an Israel-American, with dual citizenship.

    To use an example that you would understand, if Andrew McCutchen were to play half his games at center field, and the other half in right field, it's not correct to call him a center fielder.

    You just tried to make one of the dumbest arguments in SJ.com history and failed miserably and you are actually going to try to talk down to another poster? That would be almost enough to admire your chutzpah if it wasn't fueled by ignorance.

    Everybody who read it understood your argument. We also understood how stupid it is, a concept that still eludes you.

    Am I wrong? Would you term McCutchen a center fielder if he played half his games in right?

    Stupid doesn't sleep, work, or has to be a productive marriage partner. But stupid never rests.

    If it's such a dumb argument, then why has the majority of news organizations called her either an Israeli, or an Israeli-American?

    I'm sorry, but I am now concerned that this discussion is so stupid that it may cause me to lose brain cells and I really can't afford to lose what little I have left. So Baron, I will leave you to wallow in your ignorance on this one.

    Clinton:

    "This election is a choice between two very different visions of America. Pause to make eye contact to seem relatable. One that's angry, afraid, and based on the idea that America is fundamentally weak and pause again and lower your voice an octave to convey seriousness in decline. The other is hopeful, generous, and confident in the knowledge that America is great now — just like we always have been. Now smile, but not too much because focus groups say that makes sad white men feel emasculated. Thank you, Philadelphia and good night!"
