"I am trying to figure out exactly what conservative principle familyofman believes in. "

You and I both, AR...

He seems to have contempt for Zell Miller, casting him as a "DINO," as the counterpart of McCain who teamed up with the democrats to squelch our freedom of political speech in our elections.

He seems to also have the same disdain for those of us who protested the disloyal, Anti-American behavior of the Dixie Chicks.

And ya gotta love his acerbic swipe at the Latino community for generally opposing "gay marriage" -- "I wonder how many gays oppose Hispanic marriage?". Yeah, and I "wonder" how many drunken drivers oppose sober driving.

Another gem: "Seems every time there is trouble in the mid-east [gas] prices go up...". Trouble in the mid-east? He no doubt refers to those occasional flare-ups that punctuate those long periods of Middle Eastern tranquility. I could be mistaken, and I'm sure FOM will correct me if I am, but I've had the distinct impression that (with occasional brief reductions, eg. during local "gas wars") the price of gas at the pump has had a steadily upward trend ever since I was a kid in the early 50s. I think it was something like 20 cents per gallon in the early 50s and is now roughly $2 per gallon. That's a ten-fold increase -- until we correct for inflation. Then the difference just zooms!

Now he's acting as defense counsel for Richard Clarke, ineffectual "terrorism czar" in the Clinton administration and demoted, disgruntled, vindictive reject from the GW Bush administration.

Whoops! Looks like FOM just picked up a new "client" for his busy law practice, specializing in the defense of liberal low-lifes. This time it's the Senate panel stackers who delayed confirmation of a "non-controversial" nominee in order to rig the judicial process concerning pending litigation before a federal court.

And ya know what, AR? That's what I came up with just randomly picking a few items from the first half-page of FOM's listed posts.

San Francisco Chronicle just returned my phone call. They picked upthe AP story yesterday and seemed somewhat intrigued that there was an assassination plot not discussed in the AP story.

Has all the makings of a disruptor. Although familyofman is more discrete than most. Most of the DU-type disruptors have a hard time making two posts before they go into comparing Bush to Hitler or some other great analogy.

Thanks for fetching those. I enjoyed reading FAM's comments. They seemed reasonable.
