He conquered a lot of countries, but he had a pretty good system of government.”

Talk about understating and misrepresenting the truth (profs do that a lot) Tenuchin aka genghis spread slaughter and destruction everywhere he went. Nothing worse ever recorded except maybe by the years of Muslim expansion and all the years of communist control.

Leftists see conservatives as being similar to dictators such as Hitler and Kahn..

Oh, I don't disagree with you there. But it is typical of liberals to apply that sort of intellectual dishonesty such as ignoring someone's true nature- witness their adoration of Stalin and Che and Castro etc. However, I did go back and reread that portion, and I missed the qualifier (He has little in common with his infamous ancestor... // ...Though a Republican...). So I was definitely mistaken in this case.

Probably a periodic urge to commit a massacre or two [say, when the accounting client is particularly unpleasant] could qualify.

Well, well. I guess we are twins. I never could spell. Good grief, you even registered before I did.

I say, "Peaceful coexistance between you and me, kill the rest in some painfully slow way".

Being the first born twin, I can go for that.

OK...But I get first choice on the horses and the babes. And -- most importantly -- I pick the brand of beer!
