Wait. Perhaps I rushed to judgement earlier. There may have been a misunderstanding. Maybe we aren't talking about the same Harry Truman? Perhaps you were referring to some other Harry Truman that I've never heard of?

The Harry Truman I was talking about was the 33<sup><u>rd</u></sup> president of the United States. You know... the one who wanted to nationalize the American steel industry, make the government pay for everyone's health care, and end a railroad strike by drafting all the train crews into the Army.

This couldn't possibly be the Harry Truman that you think would be a Republican today, could it?

If not, I apologize for my earlier outburst.

If so, I stand by everything I said earlier. I would also hasten to add (in an ad hominem sort of way) that you are a mouthbreathing troglodyte, unencumbered by even the most rudimentary understanding of history, and I heartily wish that you'd shut the fuck up.

Thank you.
