You mean you had one? For shame!

Are you suggesting that Hitler was to the far right, or Stalin? I disagree that the political spectrum is a circle, and I think if you go to the extremities of the far right you find anarchy: less government = no government when taken to the extreme. The extremities on the left, of course, lead to complete government control.

Hitler was a socialist dictator who believed in strong central control; Stalin was a socialist dictator who believed in strong central control. Both of them were socialists; neither of them were conservative (conservatives believe in freedom, liberty and less government interference in their lives, donchyaknow).

If I misread your statement, I apologize, but please don't feed the liberals ammunition when they espouse that Hitler was a right-winger and those of us on the far right are Nazis.

Let me just say "ACK!"

You shouldn't frighten people like that without some kind of warning. I mean, I'm gonna have nightmares about that for a week!

I just popped a freakin' blood vessel over this. American and Conservative my a**!!! I agree with another Freeper's post: ZERO support for that outfit. They can go to hell for all I care!!! Jeesh!!!!!!!!!!!

But neoconservatism now encompasses much more than Israel-obsessed intellectuals and policy insiders. The Bush foreign policy also surfs on deep currents within the Christian Right, some of which see unqualified support of Israel as part of a godly plan to bring about Armageddon and the future kingdom of Christ. These two strands of Jewish and Christian extremism build on one another in the Bush presidency—and President Bush has given not the slightest indication he would restrain either in a second term.

So he's anti-Christian as well as anti-Semite. I think I can ignore Scott McConnell from now on. Not hard, since I never heard of him before.

I don't, thank God!

...or use it as toilet paper :)

I now understand what the term "Conservatives eat their own" means.

This place is filled with more and more idiots everyday.

This article serves as a striking example of the fact that ideology, rigidly applied, can be the enemy of practicality.

I vote for survival. Some people just want to be martyred to prove a point.

Yeah, keep pretending you're conservatives by endorsing the guy named the most liberal Senator in the US Senate in 2003 by the National Journal, beating out such lefty lunatics like Teddy Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer. Yeah, you're real conservatives. Go vote for the guy proposing to blow a 2.5 trillion hole in the deficit with all the spending promises he's made on the campaign trail, as well as raising taxes that only pay for at best 20% of that spending. That's REAL conservative for you.

If you really want to hurl, pop on over to the (so-called) American Conservative website and read all their anti-Bush BS. At least DU doesn't pretend.

"excuse me while I roll my eyes and curse the malformed sperm that somehow managed to outswim the healthy ones during the conception of the author in question."

Would you do me a favor? Clean up my coffee, I spilled it all over the place! Man, this is funny!!!

[Puckster]

Hey buddy! Are you my buddy?

"I’ve heard people who have known George W. Bush for decades and served prominently in his father’s administration say that he could not possibly have conceived of the doctrine of pre-emptive war by himself"

"Pre-emptive war" is neither deep thought nor unique to this administration.

An overly verbose display with words can't rescue this swill from stinking.

Phoney conservative he is....hmmmmmmmmmm!?

[CWOJackson]

pat buchanan is running an companion piece to this crap on the American (so-called) Conservative website. I guess this is their contribution to the Kerry campaign.

[rjmeagle]

Just did. In a nutshell, told them to go to hell!
