quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity I just think it's funny that all you Liberals act so pissed off that Ann Coulter called Edwards a "fagot" when for years the best attack against HER that they could muster was to try and suggest she was transgendered... like that's so awful. Like gay / transgendered / etc is the lowest (according to Liberals, when attacking Ann Coulter). Now suddenly calling someone a fagot is a hate crime.... hypocrites! You gotta love the hypocrisy. And this "neocon" BS is funny too. You have to make up names that sound like Nazis to try to win your argument or whatever. That's a cheap shot, is all that is. Try again, farglebargle. I'm a right-winger, sure. A Conservative. And you're a Liberal / Leftist who likes to pretend he's a Conservative because LIBERAL is a dirty word. quote: ORIGINAL: farglebargle You're a NEO-Con, right? You need to read more. I think Ann Coulter is funny because she rants endlessly about things that any idiot with a 4th grade education and a library card can learn are completely untrue. As far as calling me a Democrat. My politics are far more out on the granola eating, tree hugging, chant while wearing orange, etc., branch of liberalism. To be honest, I doubt the Democrats want me in their party. I am currently registered with them so I can vote for intelligent candidates in the primaries. After we elect people in office who can think their way through a brick wall in time, I will go back to voting Green or Independent. Just me, etc. Sinergy

<sigh> We're not a Mobocracy, thompson. We're a Republic. While you refer to the USA as both, we can only be one. quote: ORIGINAL: thompsonx quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity Problem is, the will of the people is fickle and we would have a "mob rules" mentality if we did things your way, and "mob rules" isn't pretty sometimes.

quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity <sigh> We're not a Mobocracy, thompson. We're a Republic. While you refer to the USA as both, we can only be one. But what he stated in his post, sanity, was a suggestion that you read the Constitution in full and see what the duties of a sitting President are. A Republic is only as good as the education level and intelligence of the people who vote their leaders into office. Did you do your homework before making your comment about our being a Republic?

quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity I just think it's funny that all you Liberals I guess the Neocons can't recognize us TRADITIONAL CONSERVATIVES. They are all so full of themselves, and their self-rightousness, that ANYONE who DARES criticize Their Great Leader is automatically branded a "Lib". Here's some news for you. Us REAL CONSERVATIVES got read out of the party by the Egregious Frum of the Neocons. Looks like us REAL CONSERVATIVES were right, and the Neocons done screwed everything up. Now they're so messed up in the head, it's sad. And as far as PRETENDING to be a Conservative? Then why did I in my disgust for Bush/Cheney write in Buchannan/Keyes? Because at least they're HONEST, and stick to their guns. I don't agree with Keyes rap about "Abortion is ALWAYS WRONG. PERIOD." but I respect his ability to stand up and not wuss out about what he believes in.

i've a question . . .when did being a liberal become a bad thing? when our ultimate conservative leader's twin daughers got busted twice for underage drinking, and intoxication?

This country is purely a republic by design and not a democracy at all tho it may take that appearance. Outside Independence Hall when the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended, Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it." In a republic the country is governed by the rule of Law that will prevent the 51/49 issue of a simple democracy from happening where a republic raises the ante to 75/25 to be valid.

It's not. It's just that I'm not one, and I find it amusing that, as soon as you question Their Great Leader or Their Party Line, you immediately get branded as one, despite having actual Conservative beliefs. Since the Neocons don't have any substance, everything devolves into a personal attack. The Neocons are just losers who pretty much all joined the Bandwagon to be part of a winning team. Of course, the fact that they aren't Conservatives means their platform and policies aren't focused on the important things... Fiscal Responsibility, National Resource Independence, Limited Federal Government, Balanced Budgets, The Rule of Law, Honesty, Integrity, Truth, Justice, and The American Way, etc... you know, Traditional Conservative Beliefs. There's no-one more fucked over by the Neocon Party Whores than us Real Conservatives. Well, the Iraqis they killed. And the people they're torturing and killing in the secret prisons. It's enough to make you think seriously about becoming a Libertarian.

despite your o;pening line, that you're not a liberal, me things you are more so than the conservative alternative. more importantly, sir, everything you wrote about the current government, and politics are totally correct, and reminescent of 1936 germany.

What I found amusing is that when you extrapolate the values he stated to the level of ridiculousness, you arrive at anarchy. From what I understand, this is a liberal notion since anarchy is a change from what is currently existing. We have gone full circle. Sinergy
