Merely calling names is neither rebuttal nor refutation, Maffick. Cease immediately to believe in that, or I will repeatedly sandbag you for being lame, stupid, and weak. Quite frankly, to borrow your phrase, the neoconservative school of thought, id est, that human liberty and real democracy worldwide is a very good thing not only for the world's peoples but also for democracies (I'm including republics under this general term) such as ourselves, seems to me to be the very best idea to come down the pike since the Libertarian Party. It's kind of hard to object to good government being practiced everywhere, instead of the corruption and tyranny that currently passes for government in too many places.

Quite frankly, people who espouse a false sense of ethics and morality, and then bash someone like Hillary Clinton are scum, and deserve to be called on their bullshit.

Then I guess I'll never be scum, as my sense of ethics and morality are real, and much realer than you'd probably like. I bash Hillary C for being an unprincipled, mildly sociopathic Saul Alinsky-type socialist, whose political instincts were formed in a one-party State named Arkansas. You can't call me on bullshit; I never bullshit. I never tell anything I don't understand to be truthful (comedy aside), which you are probably going to have to learn the hard way. You sound like the usual young man here: valiant in his ignorance. You're at liberty to try me any way you think you can, but you will find me an exceedingly tough nut to crack. Others here will agree.

I tend to give people who mistake the tribal customs to which they are accustomed for laws of nature a rather rough time -- at my worst, I oblige them to consider my tribal customs, and why they might have been established.

I vote across party lines. . .

A good idea and a better policy -- I don't think I've ever voted a straight ticket myself, and I've been voting for thirty years.

. . .and it sickens me when I hear the same tired spin being parroted by less than intelligent jingoists. Take your hate bandwagon and sitck it up your ass, lets talk about getting some ACCOUNTABILITY, ETHICS AND MORALITY back in our government..

One way to have managed that would have been to strip President Clinton of his office for his treasonable misdeeds. Regrettably, this did not happen. Now while conducting oneself more ethically than Ole Possum Head isn't exactly setting the bar high, the Bush Administration has cleared that bar by a handsome span -- and not by virtue of being Republican, either. George is just a better man than Bill, which is why I voted for George both times.

Considering that America should win her wars against tyrannical terrorists isn't jingoism. It is common sense. Do not seek substitutes, any substitutes, for victory against our antidemocrat, self-made and self-declared enemies. For the good of mankind, wipe these from the face of the earth, and convert their supporters into our supporters. We've got the better deal anyway.
