This dames and dudes, is a good example of a person without a clue.

I was joking KKKrueger.  You know, the Limbaugh kind of joke, where I
illustrate absurdity with absurdity.

Rush L. never attacks anybody personally, right?  Ha ha.

Fucking-A!  I think your beliefs ARE profane.

Now where did either myself or awerling censor you?

Which doesn't include computer literacy, apparently.  So you are a
deviant among deviants.

(Hint:  this is more absurdity.  Since when does the popularity of any
opinion in any venue have to do with its legitimacy as an opinion?
You are being paranoid, KKKrueger)

But the traditional values of racism, slavery, mysogyny are gone or
going, and other traditional values are fading, too.  I have no desire to
return to the traditional values, because they SUCK.  This is MY
generation, and I will see as many of MY values become part of the
mainstream as I can.

Ha!  They're already in, in case you hadn't noticed.  They've been
'in' for years.  Not the presidency, of course, but that is just one
office.  What about the majority of the other 535 offices in congress?
Offices which every one of the men you mention have held for years...

I understand exactly what the word means.  You have a different
definition, though.  To you, deviant means "out of the mainstream,"
and therefore, politically illegitimate.
