Al Franken...is this for real?

[Aliantha]

If we locked the bullshitters out, there wouldn't be much discussion around here you know. lol

All this time and no one told me!

Do I get a retroactive bullshit allowance?

[Aliantha]

You can bullshit as much as you like. Everyone else does.

[Urbane Guerrilla]

And it makes the roses grow. Given time.

[xoxoxoBruce]

Speak of the devil...

I can aspire to wrench the crown from Merc the King?

Now there's a goal!

[Aliantha]

Oh I don't know if Merc is the king of BS around here. That title is highly contentious. lol

Redux is partisan, and spiritedly. He feels obliged to defend his Jackass Party from those mean ole Republicans any time somebody takes a shot at his team. It's not that we're anti-Democrat so much as we're anti-stupid and anti-feckless, and the Dems do so much of both. We're not exactly sympathetic to inflation either, having lived through quite a cycle of it and seen the rot.

Yep...I am partisan.....never denied it.

Is that your best defense of the failed neo-con policies or are you running away from that discussion now?

Now hold on there, son... there's been a lot of smugness and BS thrown around the nation about "failed neo-con policies" and I look around me and I don't see any failure except failure to adhere to left-wing lunacies. That adds up to successes.

The Left and the Democrats manifestly wouldn't have won the war. Sadly, they haven't the gumption even to try -- or at least they did not for the greater part of the Bush Administration. They are still manifesting the same bad habits nowadays.

Which means the Republicans are back in in 2012 or before -- in the mid-terms -- to try and fix the mess the Dem Party's myopia and irresolution has left.

Any example of so-called failures will boil down to "offends the left-liberals." Offending the left-liberals has a real tendency to benefit the Republic, as the left-liberals are generally economic illiterates and pretty much incapable of correctly identifying a national enemy, for two big reasons I'm not one. Of course, the beneficial effects of offending and marginalizing the hard Left are obvious, and so large as to be almost incalculable.

If I take my time replying to something, it's because I'm giving it thought, and the only difference it makes is I've given you a chance to sneer, and to pooh-pooh, and generally to be shallow, in accordance with the brummagem values so beloved of the left of center. You wanted linked material, and I said okay, fair enough -- and I'm sifting through what I find to filter out the idiot stuff that I wouldn't trust or be swayed by either.

Thanks to Bush and his cronies, Pakistan is now in very real danger of being taken over by the Taliban and al Qaeda, because they just had to go fight in a country that didn't attack us and wasn't a real threat to us, instead of keeping their eye on the ball where it needed to be and going after the people who DID. In addition, because they chose to not secure the borders, Mexico is also very unstable and there is a possibilty of collapse there. So tell us again how Bush kept us so safe? If the Pakistani government falls, the entire region will destabalize, OR if Mexico collapses, we will be in serious trouble, and that is on the head of the Bush administration.

Bruce and Rich, when will you learn such remarks cannot be respected by people of depth? Are you really so determined to remind me you're rather too thick to become conservatives, or something?

Oh. You are from hell. Say hi to Adolf.

BTW, he makes a great meat tenderizer - obviously.
