I contend that the far-left liberal of whom this person speaks is a minority, albeit a loud and squeeky wheel type of minority, reactionary at best to an equally loud and squeeky wheel minority far-right conservative. Both extremes are ridiculous and comical in their ideals. To paint the entire liberal-minded populace with the same brush as the extreme is unfair, to say the least.
With this in mind, I hold the same disdain towards both extremes, including those who would say that anything or anyone who stands opposed to the majority or the GVT currently in power as 'anti-American' . Might as well start crying out "Might makes Right" or "Better Dead than Red" in the streets again.
Feh!

Well, you have to consider that I have seen houseplants more intelligent than Kerry, so...
I almost always vote Republican because my own convictions lead me toward most of their platform. But I have supported independents and even a stray Democrat when their contentions warranted it. I don't owe anybody lifetime blanket support.

I'd have voted for Leiberman.
However, if it's a choice between Bush and Kerry, or Dean, or pretty much anyone else the Dems had in that sad-sack field last time, it's Bush in a landslide.
Frankly, I'd have preferred to go Libertarian, but their candidate was a full-time loser in the foreign affairs arena.

I feel the same way about Dubya. Frankly, the man must've bought his MBA. He can't seem to even explain the most basic of economic priciples without tripping over his own tongue...unless he follows his scripts closely, he strikes me as a buffoon.SouthernN'Proud said:
Mind you, I can't vote in your elections.

Those who stand with those written of in this piece are the same who think that opposition must always equate to anti-American. Opposing GW, or any other party/pol, is not anti-American. Backing the enemy & not following the Constitution is.
Better dead than red still applies.

Just curious Mr. B, but what do you think the correct and total coarse of actionMrBishop said:The thing is that people who are against Bush and his war are being called for 'supporting the enemy'
Its a war of words and labels.
should have been for what happened to the trade centers, and the people in them?

So your saying we should have invaded Afghanistan, and then left it at that?MrBishop said:
Hmm let me see...What does Irag have to do with 9/11?
It's not just Iraq either. It's anywhere that there were/are terrorist...World-wide.
Are you saying that you don't think there are terrorists in Iraq?
IMO Iraq was just the next on the list after Afghanistan. More to follow.
Did Iraq have anything to do with 9/11 directly? The jury is still out on that one IMO.

Yep. it was some good old American flyboys that spiralled them big engine jets into our highrises & Pentagon not some Islamic fascist. This is Bushs war, he started it, he starts everything. He's the dumbest man alive, especially when he's beating the Dems.

I remember the newscasts when we decided to go in. A multitude of College Students (go figure) took to the streets in protest. Mostly out of fear for a draft...It's been like that since Vietnam. The US takes any kind of military action, and the college students go into an anti-war frenzy, forgetting that it's guys like me, who are actually in the military, protecting their right to protest. I call it "Elitest idiocy in action".

See, now I think it's simply that they think it's trendy to protest stuff. You'll be lucky if 3% have any idea of the real issue. You're giving most of them too much credit.
