>>Well, apparently you cannot take the heat. My was an opinion and I will stick to it if you don't mind. Why be insulted at being referred to as a troll? It is not as if you were accused of being a murderer, child molester or worse. You have no idea if he is a troll or not.
... If I am wrong then I am wrong and can live with that. If you are wrong can you live with it? I wonder<<

There is another side.
Somebody who is here to troll probably expects to be called names- that is part of what he is trying to accomplish.

Somebody like me with a long history of debate and a thick skin is also not going to be run off by a few mean words (although I will certainly leave if asked to leave or if i belive my presence here is too disruptive)

But what about the people who are genuine conservatives but who disagree about strategy or use lingo you don't like - if they are attacked and called name they may just leave the site will be little bit diminished for that.

I agree with that.

I disagree with your opinion on Iraq, but you've made some very good points on other issues.

Welcome

You're not getting what I am saying. You used a term, neocon, that is universally viewed as a liberal one. If I started using the slogan "power to the people" how far do you suppose my credibility would carry on this forum? I have no problem with you or anyone else disagreeing with the policy of this administration. I myself disagree with some of them but I do not use liberal slogans to do so. You are smooth in your own defense but basically I think your full of it and will feel this way until I see substantial evidence to the contrary. You have been handed the play book on how to appear conservative even if you are not. Let's see how close to the script you stay.
