:)... it would be nice!

[ElPatriota]

...Christians have been the strongest supporters of the Conservative movement, getting out and working the phones and going door to door. It is unwise for others to deliberately alienate us by ridiculing what we stand for and who we are..

YES, and I love you guys... even thought I am not as good as you, I mean it. I am on your side most of the time, we have ALWAYS BEEN... all families have disagreements... ours is just a bit larger :)

Die Thread Die!!!

Euthanasia?

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Okay.

"Sorry, the "Big Gulp" ain't being swallowed, and either the Moderates/LIEberals work WITH us when we are in control, or they go the way of the Whigs as Conservatives bolt the (R) Party!"

Thanks for the pat on the back. And well said BUMP back atcha.

[CindyDawg]

Suicide. :')

[George W. Bush]

You're never going to get through to the "My president, right or wrong" crowd.

In truth, they're closer to the "Mein Fuehrer, right or wrong" crowd.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

LOL.

You might need some more ammo to accomplish the task.

;0)

[muawiyah]

Sorry. Make that "federal reservation" ~

There's nothing wrong with patriotism. There's a lot wrong with calling American patriots names like that.

Go back to your hole.

[George W. Bush]

There's nothing wrong with patriotism.

Not unless it's something verging on fascism that merely masks itself as patriotism.

The old saw that patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel seems apt.

In truth, they're closer to the "Mein Fuehrer, right or wrong" crowd.

Now, George, that was a really stupid thing to say.

You know that the loyalty and admiration for President Bush is the complete opposite of brainwashed fascism. It is based on his fundamental decency and honor, and for most is grounded in a love for the same Savior and Lord.

It is completely and utterly irresponsible and indecent for you to make such hideous accusations. It's beneath even you to wallow in slime like that.

How about some accountability to TRUTH here, and not just trying to make an impression about how cute and clever you are? All that you accomplish is that you look like a leftist fool.

[ohioWfan]

Of course you're as good as we are. We are all sinners.......all unworthy.

We have just been saved by the grace of God, through Jesus Christ. We're DEFINITELY not better people.

[ohioWfan]

Not unless it's something verging on fascism that merely masks itself as patriotism.

More total irresponsibility, George. You'd better stop while you're behind.

Pretty soon the hole is going to be too deep for you to crawl out of.

[inquest]

yes, let's bury the hatchet, if nothing else to 'torture' the wackos on the LEFT!

I'm not quite ready to go along with that sentiment just yet. Don't misunderstand me - I'm always, always willing to be reasonable with those who disagree with me, provided they're willing to be reasonable back. But I'm not going to keep my opinions under wraps just for some vague desire for unity. Bush's next nomination is going to be very important, and I'm ready to put up as much of a fight as I did against Miers if this new nominee doesn't measure up. And because of Miers, the "Trust Bush" refrain is going to have even less credibility now.

[George W. Bush]

Sounds like the truth makes some people uncomfortable.

The faction I'm referring to can't even rise to the low standard of party-over-principle.

They qualify as personality-over-party-over-principle types. And there are suitable terms for such ideologues.

[PatriotGirl827]

Good post.

[inquest]

I have to side with ohioWfan on this one. Remember Godwin's Law. I may have the name wrong there, but whoever it is, his is the law that says that whoever compares his opponents to Nazis loses the debate.

Just for the record, I would lay down Inquest's Corollary to that law, which is that you can do it without losing the debate, provided you can back it up with solid facts in making the comparison, but you're not even close to doing that here. It's just nothing but innuendo.

[ohioWfan]

There's no truth in it, George.

Are you also mimicking the leftists by making up your own 'personal' truth?

There is no basis for your sick accusations in fact. None at all.

You've lost the argument by silly hyperbole......and the more you try to extricate yourself, the worse you're going to look.
