LOL! If someone calls me a conservative republican, I'll puff out my chest and say you're damn RIGHT I AM.

I don't know of a clever way to turn the word "Republican" into an insult (maybe there is some use for canis/cardcounter/Quads after all?). But that's what Bluff did. You probably wouldn't be agreeing with the other guy if he called you a [censored] idiot, would you?

At least you have enough sense to be ashamed of being a liberal. My hat goes off to you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Is it Bizarro Day? I hope this is aimed at Elliot and not me or else you're just as loopy as BluffTHIS!

"It's blowing straight from that stinking heap of liberal Democrat electorial defeat."

Exactly what I said.

"Stalin was a Progressive."

Are you saying Liberal Democrats=Stalin?

The usual Buckley nonsense, obscured by his virtually unreadable prose. The best I could make out is that Buckley wants Bush to admit the policy failed in Iraq but the general principles are sound. If that's the case, the principles obviously shouldn't be considered general. They failed a generation ago in Vietnam too.

Read the Buckley "nonesense" before coming over here. Was going to post a link without comment figuring you guys might have missed it but finally developed the sense to search this forum first for an ongoing discussion.

In fairness to Buckley I think he's saying ...oh never mind [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, I found this companion piece on the realclearpolitics.com home page. See if you can find the whopper [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

No, only that the idea/lable has gotten some previous use.

Anyone who admits victory or defeat in the Iraq/Terror War in this early stage is nieve. Look at world history. It takes at least a decade or more to come to a conclusion for such a clash of cultures this has become.

We are still in the first quarter of a tied football game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Given the particular countries involved, isn't it a bit troubling that we, the University of Texas of countries, are tied in the first quarter with, say, the Boise State of countries?

Actually from a major war operations point of view the game was a rout, it is the democratic society game that is currently tied.

Aren't we still the prohibitive favorites in that game, though, too? Isn't this like a 16 seed running with a 1 seed?
