Fine, be anti-fanaticism. Most rational persons are.

Now, let us know where the fanaticism is that you fear. Rational posters haven't seen it.

Where's the fanatic boogeyman?

Right, that's why we never went into Iraq. We have a government divided by the Constitution in which one part can't by itself go bad and drag the whole government with it. And so Congress, fulfilling its role according to the Constitution, wisely stood up to the president and prevented a foolish, wasteful, nationally destructive war.

Clearly, your argument is not only logical and true, but irrefutable.

All sarcasm aside, what's clear is that all it takes is a situation where for political reasons Congress and the opposition party are afraid to stand up to the president. No other country is powerful enough to hold us back, at most they can refuse to go along, which every significant second-tier power except Great Britain did. But that didn't stop us. And the fact that a list of third-tier non-powers gave token, meaningless assistance allows some people to claim (falsely, of course, but with some trivial surface justification) that it was an international effort.

I wish your argument was valid. I really do. It should be that way. But it isn't always, unfortunately.

For that to be true, I'd have to agree that the reason we're in Iraq is to further Bush's religious agenda. As I have a brother who has served there, you'd have to provide some actual proof for that.

And I said specifically that Iraq will make it incredibly hard for the President to sell another war.

ORR.... The Senators actually believed it was something that they believed in and didn't go back on that until they realized the public wasn't in support of it.

If someone can prove that the only reason we're in Iraq is because of Bush's religious agenda, then maybe we could make some headway here.

Of course, you still believe that McCain made up the whole unable to type thing yesterday in response to Obama's ad when it was already published in 2000. So I'm not counting on you providing a lot of intelligence to this debate either.

Yeah, both the Executive and Legislative branches liked the notion.

It's true that's a possible explanation, but it isn't even remotely likely. Nor do I believe for a second that you believe it yourself. These are politicians we're talking about. Democrats, at that. They saw that the country was behind the president in the aftermath of 9/11, and for several years followed him like craven dogs.

I don't actually think that is the only reason, but if it's part of the reason, it's scary. There's also the oil profits, which I'm sure was a big part. Then there was Saddam's threat to Bush's dad. I'm sure there were a number of reasons, just no good ones.

No, I believe that McCain isn't able to type, I just don't believe that has anything to do with why he isn't computer-literate, if that's true. And what's more, I said so, clearly enough for any honest person to understand. And so when you follow up the above disingenuous remark with the following:

I'm afraid it means that I can't count on you to provide any honest discussion here.

Although it's true that sometimes dishonesty can be intelligent.

Here's the fanatic boogeyman: This kook tells us God speaks to him and calls on him.












(Barack Obama)

Mmm. Who's not being honest?

Or, you know, intelligent, since you posted it on this site, yesterday.

If the Dems are going to fear-monger about fanaticism with a candidate, then they need to do some with ALL the candidates who think God calls on them, speaks to them, that they're doing God's will, etc.

To do otherwise is obvious partisan blindness.

Too bad BHO also has faith as it nullifies the faith fear-mongering we've been tolerating for years.

No, you wouldn't. You'd only have to acknowledge that we're there, and then work backwords.I cannot in any way prove that your brother served there. I can, however, assure you that it's utterly irrelevant to this discussion.That has nothing to do with what I was talking about, but I agree.

Aw, sweetie, I wasn't asking you to prove my brother was there. You're so cute.

Winking right back atchya, sugarbear.

The focus of the left is becoming clearer. They want to paint Gov. Sarah Palin as a religious extremist.

Matt Damon says he doesn't want a VP that believes that Dinosaurs were on Earth 4000 yrs. ago.

Whoopi Goldberg thought that having Sarah Palin as VP was a violation of the imaginary seperation of church and state. She even asked McCain if a strict constitutionalist judge might mean she might have to go back to being a slave.

Yet Susan Sarandon, Donna Brazile, and Steve Cohen repeated the silly mantra that Jesus was a Community Organizer and Ponchus Pilate was a Governor.


They don't want God in government but they can misquote the gospel to attempt to prove their point.

Sounds like double-talk to me. It also seems like these people aren't living in the real world. These people's minds are totally screwed up with hatred. Is it any wonder that a man who only wanted to defend the United States from further terrorists attacks like the ones on 9/11 became such a focus of hatred. Now we can see why they attacked him after seeing what they're saying about Sarah Palin.

It's just bigotry, pure and simple.

Does anyone else think that the sexist and anti-religion backlash is just more visible than the racism backlash? The more I see people's hatred toward Palin, the more I believe in the Bradley effect.
