Oh please, spare me the melodrama. If people were willing to die for the belief that if they just jumped far enough off a tall building, they could actually fly, I would not hold them in any particular esteem for the passion of their convictions.

I'm sure the families of the soldiers and Marines who've died in Iraq are comforted knowing that you belittle their sacrifice as melodrama and that you hold their convictions in such low regard.

I'm sure they believed they were fighting for a principle.

Or were they fighting for oil?

Paradoxically, it did during the CLINTON era!

Did your helping to elect Bush in 2000 move the country closer or further away?

In my opinion you should be very concerned about the effect the next four years is going to have on the Supreme Court

We were told the same thing in 2000. How many SCJ have been retired and been replaced in the last four years?

OK, I was going to let you have the last word but you've pissed me off. You known damn well that our conversation had nothing to do with the soldiers in Iraq, and you have no right to suggest that I am belittling their efforts. The are most certainly fighting, and dying, for noble purposes.

What is absolutely unacceptable is that you would dare to compare your "struggle" as a third party supporter to the genuine and fruitful sacrifices of our soldiers.
