c'mon Phil. Can you at least try to be objective? Has your hatred for the right wing consumed your entire being? I know you are well read and interested in politics, your posts would be more engaging and believable if you could show some objectivity and humility instead of declaring war on every republican in existence.
I have objectivity.
voted for Bush's father- thought he was a good president.
I am not a "leftist"
I am well read, and I am as objective as any thinking person can be.
For example -I LOVED Clinton's second term, BECAUSE of the republican dominance of the Senate.
It was because of that dominance that Clinton was able to gut Welfare...
I prefer a "balance of power" and perspectives.
But I began to see that the republican's hatred toward "liberals' began to consume the entire party.
The money and time they spent investigating whitewater- to end up impeaching a President for not wanting to fess up to a clandestine blowjob.... that was one of the lowest points in GOP history.
I LOVED Eisenhower ( at least, what I came to know in school about him) He was the one who tried to warn the nation, as any treu republican should, about the dangers of the military industrial complex, and how its inflence was likely to get us into wars, and debt.
But I have paid close attention to the actions of the republicans ( and the democrats) these past 12 years... and it became distressingly clear that they were veering far from the GOP platform in their actions... they were clearly becoming hypocrites...
The GOP contract with america? They got into power, and immediately forgot all about term limits and balanced budgets.
They abrogated that contract...
And this last 8 years? Allegiance to the administration before allegiance to the nation?
The question I would ask you is this...
If you are TRUELY a consewrvative...
Why the hell aren't you OUTRAGED at what has been done in YOUR name?!
Can any fuck calling himself republican get a free pass from you for any violation of law? no matter how severe?
Clinton lied over a blowjob...
Not one US serviceman got a leg blown off over That lie... And I was pissed off about THAT lie.
If you really are a patriot... how can not not be sickened and appalled over the usurpation of power, the doing away with habeus corpus, the violation of due process, the graft...
EVERYTHING that made the US different... everything that made us an example for the free world... was UNDONE by these criminal fucks... who happen to call themselves republicans.
I would feel entirely differently if the CONSERVATIVEs were the ones standing up and shouting for an investigation, as they did over a stained dress.
If the conservative showed the slightest ability to RECOGNIZE and abhor the fact that their party had been over-run with con men.
SO, seriously...
How the fuck can someone who claims to be conservative not be angry over the ballooning size and intrusion of federal government?
Over the profligate spending on a war that was based on lies about threats that did not exist...
Sorry... until I see some shred of outrage from conservatives over the non-conservative criminality in their own ranks... they will not count in my book as Americans.
I am not a liberal.
I am a patriot.
That means... CONSTITUTION first... and every lying hack that does not live up to that document can go fuck themselves... regardless of 'party".
