It certainly is refreshing to see that TC Wheeler hasn't yet learned
to read.  I stated that Nicaragua was not Mongolia, meaning it
(Nicaragua) is a nation quite open to the rest of the world, trading
freely (except with the US at the moment), politically neutral. 
Unlike those countries--like Mongolia--under Soviet domination.
(Wasn't I clever to pick one--unlike, say, Albania--that is considered
by political scientists really to be under a Communist heel of the
Russian variety?)

Poor TC, can't even be consistent in his insults (nor even spell
them correctly).  First I'm a Commie, then I'm a Democrat.  Try again,
TC, because I'm with you w/r/t both those varieties of self-serving
bastard!  Oh, I get it TC--you were just taunting me.

Oh, right, we're stoolies of the Russkies.  I just love TC's
myopia.  And he has the chutzpah to call me a dupe.  OK, TC, the
Senile One says the Sandinistas are a bunch of terrorists, so
it must be true, right?

Sorry, I need my glasses.  I'd suggest that you calm down a little,
TC.  I detest every piece of Russian foreign policy I've heard of.
Including their fingers in Nicaragua.  And I have no love for the
Sandinistas either.  Most of Nicaragua does, though.

So, why would I help the Sandinista gov't?  My tax dollars are
already going to the terrorist contras.  I'm outraged but outvoted.
A few weeks of my time can't begin to compensate for the damage
done by those Somocistas in my name, but it's a start.  Call it
fair play.

Well, I'm glad you've gotten that red-baiting out of your system, TC.
The only red remaining right now should be on your face for so stupidly
misreading my posting.

And as for TC's magnanimous offer in my name, yes, *DO* allow a few
decades for delivery, and *DO* send the $9.95.  I'll forward it to
TechNICA.
