I guess someone forget their medication this morning.
People who don't like the isolationist Buchanan are liberals? Hahahahahhahahah
No, people who say they are "embarassed" or "outraged" by Buchanan's '92 speech - which was pure Reagan conservatism - are liberals. There wasn't an iota of isolationist sentiment in that speech . Read it. There was a time when Buchanan was a REaganite - Reagan hired him as communications director - - this speech reflected Reaganism. IF you disagree with any sentiment in that speech, please point it out. Otherwise, you might consider doing to your "pie hole" what, when you're angry, you've suggested others do with theirs.
why do you always flame my posts re. Iraq? MO<Because you obviously find my views -- as a conservative who doesn't march lock step with you -- threatening.
Excuse me?
Everyone on this site knows you for what you are. A troll or a Buchananite and as far as I can tell, there's very little difference these days.
That you are defending someone who has definitely gone off the plantation since 1992 tells me everything I need to know about you. Now it all makes sense.
Try Reaganite. I was working and voting for Reagan when you -- probably -- were still voting Democrat.
You're about as threatening -- and conservative -- as Ron Reagan Junior.
There seems to be an entire wing of the psych ward off their meds around here lately.
You're a riot. I'm such a staunch Republican that I've turned off some conservatives. But keep it up, churchill -your namesake gets more embarrassed every day.
It's going to get worse as the election gets closer.
Mehlman will be leading Bush-Cheny down to defeat.
Bush has demonstrated an incomparable lack of good judgement on any number of issues, especially when selecting "advisors"
No Republican will ever be elected to office by pandering to the left. He won't get liberal votes (and these four RINOs are "liberals", not "moderates" - Bush is a "moderate") and he will erode his conservative base enough to loose enough of them to be defeated.
These four had better be very careful what they say, and they had better be balanced with a strong slate of conservative speakers.
I've just read through two month's worth of churchillbuff's posts. It was painfully evident he is not what he pretends to be.
The freeper who is mis-named does not support the draft it seems, even if it is determined that one is needed, and he makes fun of everyone who does support a draft.
He does not support the war on terror beyond Afghanistan and does not seem to grasp that this is a war on Islamic terrorism in general, not just Al Qaeda.
Is very upset that not enough Congressmen have sent their children to fight in Iraq or Afghanistan, despite the fact that over 10 names were provided him of kids who are over there.
Condemns all Republicans who supported the war including the entire admistration, Bennett, Feith, Kristol, Pipes, Gaffney, Frum, Wolfowitz, etc.
Thinks Bush should send his daughters to Iraq.
Bases his opinions on Tom Clancy, an author.
Calls Iraq a quagmire.
Defended Kerry twice against the charge of flip flopping on the war in Iraq.
This is a pretend conservative who spends far too much time on Free Republic finding every thread he can to condemn those who most of us support.
I've never pretended to support the war in Iraq. So how can you say I'm "pretending" to be something I'm not. I'm a conservative who opposes the invasion of Iraq. You conveniently overlook my many FR posts that have nothing to do with Iraq. I don't think I've ever seen you post about any subject OTHER than Iraq, so what evidence do we have that you're a conservative - - and not just somebody who (like a lot of Democrats as well as Republicans) happens to support the war in Iraq? Supporting the war in Iraq is no infallible sign that somebody's conservative - - since Hillary and Kerry both support it.

Ahem. I post on far more matters than just Iraq.
Anyone who suggests the president send his daughters to Iraq is not a Bush supporter. Period.
Really? I though it was a great speech, as did other conservatives I know. The only "conservatives" that were embarrassed were those uncomfortable with their social position, IMO.
Why? Is serving in Iraq not honorable - - and, according to you, absolutely essential to American security?
PhiKapMom still hasn't identified what passage in Buchanan's speech made her uncomfortable or embarrassed. I know that there was a lot in there that Hillary objected to. Kerry didn't like it either. What was it that PhiKapMom didn't like?
"troll" What does that mean? I don't know the official definition, but if it applies to me, it must mean:
1) A Reaganite conservative who in 30 years of voting has never voted for a candidate who wasn't a Republican. 2) A FR poster since 1998, consistently condemning Clintons (male and female), Carter, Kerry and the Klansman senator from West Virgina; and/or 3) an intelligent, independent minded conservative who gets under "Howlin's" thin skin.
