"Do you see that conservatism has only lost ground for the last 17 years?"
Rubbish. Childish drivel, nothing more.
17 years ago Partial Birth Abortion was legal, using the internet for profit was not. 7 years ago we had the Assault Weapons Ban...today we do not.
15 years ago "Concealed Carry Weapons" was legal in fewer than half a dozen states...today it is legal in 46 out of 50.
5 years ago it was illegal to arm commercial pilots. Today it is not.
3 years ago Saddam Hussein was in power. Today he's in jail.
8 years ago the Kyoto global warming nonsense was a threat...today it's a historical footnote. Ditto for the International Criminal court.
18 years ago we were banned from deploying Star Wars due to the CCCP-U.S.A. ABM Treaty. Today, National Missile Defenses are deployed on the land in Alaska and California as well as at sea on SM-3 vessels (and perhaps via Boeing in air, too).
15 years ago the Berlin Wall still stood.
Hey Farah, where's that Berlin Wall today?!
Conservatism has only "lost ground?!" Does Farah earn so little that he hasn't noticed our 3 income tax cuts, the repeal of the Estate Tax, the cut of the dividend double-tax, and the energy credit tax cut?!
What a know-nothing. Give it up, Farah. You're clueless.
"What a know-nothing. Give it up, Farah. You're clueless"
Farah is a joke, just like Buchanan. In his mind the Miers nomination shouldn't matter what with 40 mukes going off in the US during Ramadan, or so he predicts....we will have other things to moan about.....
What a nutcase!!!!
You make some good points, but there are a few I would at least comment on -
" 5 years ago it was illegal to arm commercial pilots. Today it is not."
How many are actually armed? I have read article after article stating that DOT was simply refusing to train or approve them.
3 years ago Saddam Hussein was in power. Today he's in jail."
This has nothing to do with freedom in the US. The tri-ethnic polyglot called Iraq can probably not be held together without a very strong central government, IMHO.

Bush does get half credit on this one. Unfortunately , he gets a failing grade on the DEFICIT subject matter, as the idea is the cut spending AND taxes, not increase spending while cutting taxes. Republicans are the big spending party, apparently. Personally, as far as taxes and spending go, I liked political gridlock MUCH better.
