And that suffces you for a response, does it? Going by previous examples, yes, you are happy with childish replies.
Rich, this should tell you something: you're out of good ideas. I'm not.

I need not read it again. I personally found your description ignorant, to tell you the truth. Why do they need to be described as such? Nevermind - they needn't.

Fanatic ranting FTW. If the country was more like you, McCain would be president, and we'd be dropping things on Iran. |

Hey, kid, it happened with George W. Bush, and good for us and all of humanity -- and yes, it was and is expensive, bearing the brunt of it as we did. Now we're (ill-advisedly) going to take a break from smashing nondemocracies, and that's a big lugie in the face for liberty lovers, and just fine with fascist-liking/-loving pus-lickers. I for one am not down with that.
Trying to call the guy who's right a "fanatic" is like trying to tell a priest he's too goody-goody... it just makes you look like a jerk. I'm obsessed with liberty. I think liberty is so good for humans that it really ought to be obvious that no population should be without a large portion of it -- no population anywhere. You haven't anything like that to inspire your life, do you? You'd think a guy living in AZ would have a bit more bedrock sense in these matters. That's a state that likes its freedoms.

But I don't think we should invade Togo or the UAR to make them do the same things. You aren't about exporting liberty, you're about exporting the United States. And these days, those can be two very different things.

If he can stretch this and his appeals out for five years, he won't even need a do-over.

Well, TG, from my international experience, exporting "the United States" and exporting liberty differ only minutely, and the difference if any isn't enough to get crabby about. If you've been outside our borders and seen for yourself, I haven't heard about it.
What we are boils down to "the most successful at it." Being the best example, it's hardly sinful to export it also. It is not in any case a one-way deal. You might take a read of Thomas P.M. Barnett, too. The guy's scary good and there's a lot of interesting stuff in there. It's even intelligently nonpartisan. Jingoist? Nah. Therefore, why do you insist on connecting me with jingoism? I'd like to see your argument. You seem to be siezed with the idea that fascist and communist ideologies are something other than mass miseries. This gross misunderstanding prevents you from coming down on the side of the good, does it not? Where is there anything in fascism, communism, autocracy, or oligarchy that makes them worthy of preservation? This is not fanaticism, this is morals.

Or maybe you mean "liberty for the right people. I mean, it's okay to dump on Gays, people with weird little religions, and people who just want to be left the hell alone in whatever mountainside compound they legally purchased? Am I losing the plot here? In short, you get liberty here, so long as you limit your freedom to being like everyone else? Quote:

I downloaded the data and looked at it in Excel, just to see if I could.
